— Pitch Slinger

The Pitch Slinger is a unit of the Wolf Clan.

About

The art of Pitch Slinging evolved as a lifesaving tactic in the mines. As the enslaved Wolves burrowed deeper into the earth, something horrible began to happen: entire mining teams would be discovered dead in the lower tunnels, their bodies unmarked by violence. At first, these deaths were attributed to subterranean demons. Only after a skeptical Lotus overseer demanded to examine these bodies by torchlight - and was disintegrated by the ensuing blast - did the Wolves realize their men had struck pockets of odorless, poisonous gas, and that only their reliance on low-burning lanterns had saved them from the flames.

The obvious solution was to detonate these pockets of gas from a distance. Burning pitch proved the hottest and most reliable substance for the task. Always eager to demonstrate their bravery, Wolf pitch slingers took to flinging the fiery sludge with their hands, protected only by tattered strips of cloth. These slingers are feared in combat, as much for their cheerful disregard for pain as for the agony that a fistful of flaming pitch can inflict.

Battle Gear

	Scorched Earth	Stamina: No Cost		Shale Armor	Passive
Can be granted by Druidess' Blessing.			Requirements: Shalery
Together, the Pitch Slingers and the Druidesses can extend the potency of burning pitch, so that they can lay a flaming trail as they withdraw. Nothing makes a Wolf angrier than retreating, and nothing eases the anguish better than the howls of seared pursuers.			All Wolf units may adorn themselves in thick armor made of shale, greatly boosting defense against most types of damage.

Trivia

The Pitch Slinger actually throws two projectiles -which stick together- per volley.

However, when the Pitch Slinger throws his projectile at evasive units Koril or Brawlers & Hurlers with Dodging, the projectiles will often miss and go separately.

This throwing style makes Pitch Slinger deceptively powerful, since most of the time an enemy gets hit not by one, but two pitch balls.

pitch is from petroleum is sometime call bitumen
