Frontier Minuteman

Overview
The Frontier Minuteman carries a 12 gauge shotgun capable of dealing moderate-to-high damage to unarmored units, especially Soldiers given its propensity for critical damage. At higher ranks, the critical success rate increases, and alongside the damage increase, the Minuteman is a unit to be feared. However, the accuracy on this weapon remains the same throughout.

The Minuteman does not have much or that great of defensive stats, so they function more offensively given their damage output and rapid cooldown. The Minuteman will serve well in the early levels, but at higher levels, the lack of defense and means these units can be quickly dispatched of before they can pour out enough damage to make their inclusion worthwhile.

Another advantage and disadvantage is that these units are relatively inexpensive and quick to train, but requires, which can be scarce at low levels. Also, they suffer a massive range penalty when attacking targets at range.

Despite all this, this unit's Unit Value is extremely low considering how much damage they can pour out, especially at higher ranks. This makes them quite lethal in PvP. Outside of PvP, the player may want to eventually replace these troops with the stronger Allied Raider Champion who do more consistent damage (at lower ranks), have higher and better accuracy.
