Trooper

Description
The melee unit for the Astronauts. Has a strong damage, medium HP and low cost, but in return it is very slow. They cost 90 gold, the lowest cost for a melee unit in the game tied with the drone. However they boast 50 more hp than the drone for the same price, while being slightly slower with one less movement speed.

Strategy
The trooper has the highest DPS out of all melee units due to his high attack speed, which is comparable to a skeleton, and his high damage per attack at 2 points. Grouping them up will make them excellent offensive units as they have the ability to decimate any regular troop within seconds when they focus down one target. Their main drawback is their low speed, making them unfit for hit-and-run tactics. In theory guardsmen are a better meat shield, but troopers have over double their dps, so they are a better pick in most situations.

Trivia
