Serfs

"'Serfs are tough, but don’t deal much damage. Use them to hinder enemy troops!'"

Summary
The Serf is a peasant equipped with a farming tool.

The Serf is the first troop the player acquires and the only one he doesn't need to free from the Skulls.

The Good:


 * Serfs have the highest potential squad size in the game (maximum of 10), as well as a very high Health stat making them very effective meat shields for other allies.
 * Their high Health stat & squad size also allows them to waste the opponent's time very effectively.

The Bad:


 * The Serfs have no Armor stat at all, making them take full damage from all attacks and poor for initiation.
 * Serfs have a low end Attack stat, dealing very little damage compared to other troops.
 * Serfs have no special abilities.

Strategy
Serfs are a waste of time, in the best way possible. They provide a barrier between the enemy team and your squads of Archers or Sentries, which deal good damage from behind allies. They can also be moved to a key location to waste the enemy's time while they try to capture Crystals.

Trivia
The Serf is the only troop with a random weapon. Each time a new Serf is trained, he receives a random agriculture tool.
