These are the Axe Thrower's own figures, the ones the Armory prints. In battle the Dwarven Clans's trait is added on top: +52% health · +32% damage · −10% speed. Range, reach and speed are in the battlefield's own units.

Special powers

Strong and weak

Strong: Fliers, light troops.

Weak: Reach, armour.

As a ranged troop, it deals extra damage to Siege (×1.3), Anti-Armor (×1.2) and Beast (×1.2) troops.

Cavalry (×1.35), Shock (×1.3) and Beast (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Axe Thrower comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 650 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters an Axe Thrower every 21.9 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 14 seconds at level 2 and 9 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 500 gold to level 2 and 2,200 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

It is one of the five troops the Dwarven Clans roster opens with, so it is yours from the first match — no unlocking.
