Salamander

''This isn’t any ordinary Flame Trooper, because this guy is Armored! The enemy better be ready to get crispy.''

Overview
The Salamander is a premium unit that costs players 50 '''. The unit at Rank one comes with a combined HP of 300 (200, 100 ).The unit starts with 3 'attacks: a Spray Flame (with 25% armor piercing) , a Deep Flame'' (with 25% armor piercing as well) and lastly a fire-infused, melee punch. The melee attack does damage-type and has additional critical bonus with 25% armor piercing ability as well.

Very few units have defenses against type damage, so the Salamander's Beat Down attack is effective against most units. It can mostly remove armor in a single blow and the damage-over-time can greatly cripple armored units. A critical hit can even destroy many armored vehicles in a single attack.

The Salamander is a very popular unit, and is considered by many players to be one of the best uses of in the game. They are easy to level by fighting boars and mammoths, and are a solid choice for helping level other units as well.

The Salamander's fire resistance is particularly noteworthy, as it is the highest of any front-row unit in the game as of the 2.8 Patch. This makes the Salamander incredibly resistant to DoT attacks, so it is able to shrug off attacks from Sandworm units and chemical weapons as long as its armor holds out.
