Grenadier

Overview
The Grenadier is a useful early game infantry unit, able to use indirect fire to attack the second or third row on the battlefield, even if blocked by a blocking unit in front of it. In addition, they deal Explosive damage. However, they suffer from limited ammo capacity and huge reload time once their ammo is expended, they are also fairly fragile units.

In early levels from when Riot Troopers appear until Mini Tanks become available, these are the best unit to kill those pesky Riot Troopers and other Armored units.

Once upgraded, Flashbangs can be issued to the Grenadiers after conducting the proper research. Flashbangs cause mininal damage but in turn come with a handy 100% stun ability which may also affect units adjacent to the target. Its unlocking of a second ability slot coincides with the unlocking of the Flashbang attack, therefore making the attack instantly usable, as opposed to having to wait for the slot to be unlocked.

It's third attack, the Incendiary Grenade, become available at Rank 3. Although this attack does not do as much instant damage as the Small Grenade, due to its DoT it will do more damage overall, although this is offset by its rather lengthy three turn reload.

A fourth attack, "Handful of Grenade", becomes available at Rank 4. The Grenadier will make 3 separate attacks at the selected center space, with a chance the grenades will deviate towards one of the adjacent spaces. This attack's ammo use pretty much makes the Grenadier a one-trick pony, since the player could gamble doing 150+ damage on a single target at Rank 5.

This unit is unique due to the fact that it has FOUR different attack types, and can inflict both stun and burn damage.
