addedThe Wardrummer can also be used offensively, with their basic but reliable A One-Two ability. This melee attack doesn’t deal much damage, but it can be used at the right moment to get your warband out of a tight situation
changedThe Wardrummer is a support character, and they can unlock the Heartbeat ability and heal a single target twice, bringing them back to fighting fit form. After casting Heartbeat, the wardrum's aura switches to regen, giving units in range a small amount of health regen at the end of each turn
changedRhythm of Weakness is an ability which you can cast on your foes, and when successful, it will increase the amount of damage they take from your warband's attacks for two turns. Like the other abilities, it also changes the wardrum's aura to weakness, affecting any enemies in range.
changedHowever, as it comes with a cost, it will damage the allies' HP based on how well you perform the rhythm stage. But if successful, this can turn the tide of battle in your favour
changedThat was just a quick overview of some of the abilities the Wardrummer can unlock. They are an essential supporting unit for your warband to progress through the deadly biomes of the game in their quest to destroy the dark sorcery infecting the lands
