What Does Hunter Do?

Hunter is a ground-only troop with a shotgun-style ranged attack - his damage spreads out as it travels, meaning troops standing close to him take far more damage than ones at the edge of his range.

That close-range burst can shred a defender in a single hit, but his very low hitpoints mean he can't afford to let anything get close to him first.

Where Hunter Fits

He's a strong defensive troop against ground pushes, since his close-range burst can eliminate a threat in one hit if positioned correctly, though his fragility means he needs protection or good placement to survive.

How to Counter Hunter

His very low hitpoints make him easy to remove once something reaches him - a fast troop or a ranged troop that outranges him can finish him off before his close-range burst does real damage.
