Onagro

Onagers are devastating against archers and slow-moving units, but cannot defend themselves against most melee units. Therefore, they need to be guarded in most situations. Archers are often used because the player's melee units can be damaged by their own Onagers if they are not careful. But archers do not cover the Onager's main weakness adequately, which is cavalry. Therefore, Onagers are also often paired with Halberdiers or Monks. While the Onager upgrade is fairly expensive at , it provides +10 attack, +10 anti-building attack, +1 range, +1 pierce armor, +0.25 blast radius, and +10 hit points. Since The Forgotten, Onagers are able to cut down trees, making them valuable in maps with large areas of forests like Black Forest by enabling the player to attack from behind a forest. It is visually distinguishable by a thicker more reinforced appearance. Overall, it is a worthwhile upgrade when multiple Mangonels are being deployed.
