Description

The Hermit can take an incredible beating, and is useful as a shield for the weaker, more-damaging Recluses.

Strategy and Tactics

While single Hermits are weak on their own, in groups they are formidable enemies as they are cheap, have lots of health, and can screen allied skirmishers. The cannon is not suited to hit fast moving units, but can reliably hit things like large tanks and static defenses. The Hermit can be used on it's own; spamming it will often result in blobs of 10 or more, which can easily crush defenses. Hermits should avoid Skirmishers and Artillery.
