Battle Raptor

Overview
The Battle Raptor is one of the first critters listed in the Animal Trainer. A free Battle Raptor is obtained at the end of an early quest chain. Players should be careful when utilizing Battle Raptors because rare are needed to heal these units.

The Battle Raptor is arguably the best animal to train, far superior to its wild counterpart. Unlike the Imperial Boar or War Mammoth, it can attack every other turn, has a reach of 2, and a high chance to suppress, as well as scoring critical hits against certain units. It is also extremely nimble, reliably dodging most tank shells and even capable of surviving a Tank Killer barrage.

Having two battle raptors is recommended because after they attack, they dont have to reload( the tank killer has to reload 8 rounds after using it). Unlike the boar, the battle raptor has a longer range and is a well rounded unit, however, the promotion for rank 2 requires a ton of resources(5785 iron, 1 teeth). After rank 2, promotions require lumber instead of iron.
