Discover the unique abilities and strategic uses of new expansion units in Tides of Annihilation, including rolling towers, grenadiers, spirit wolves, and more. Learn how to best deploy them.

This guide details the new expansion units available in Tides of Annihilation, categorized by the faction that builds them. Each unit entry includes its builder, key features, strengths, and weaknesses.

• ARAMON
  • Rolling Tower — Built by Keep. A mobile defensive structure with a strong arrow attack. Good in groups as backup, with high hit points and good armor. Moves slow and is easily hit.
  • Flying Builder — Built by Acolyte. Can build the same structures as a Mage Builder, with slightly more hit points. Its ability to fly and build Trebuchets makes it a good strategic unit.
  • Grenadier — Built by Acolyte. Long-range bomber. Deadly in large numbers. Moves somewhat slow but is not bulky. Has three attack modes: Explosive, Incendiary, and Stun.
• VERUNA
  • Lighthouse — Built by Priestess. Tall standing structure with good scouting range. Fires a shot that momentarily paralyzes enemies. A perfect complement to other defensive structures. Has medium defense and a quick build time.
  • Ballista — Built by Priest of Lihr. Very long range, shoots an arrow that does small damage. Moves slow and is susceptible to fast-firing units.
  • Centaur — Built by Citadel. A horse unit that attacks with a bow and arrow. Fairly cheap to create but moves slow. Would be a perfect complement to the Berserker if it moved faster.
  • Mer Warrior — Built by Enclave. A low-level unit that moves at a decent speed and has good attack abilities. Can swim and attack ships.
• ZHON
  • Swamp Beast — Built by Beast Handler. Slow land-based unit with medium attack power and good health. Moves too slow and is susceptible to fast-moving units. Good back-up unit when paired with Jungle Orcs.
  • Spirit Wolf — Built by Beast Tamer. Zhon's version of Veruna's Berserker. Built at a good speed, easy to make a pack. Medium attack power. Small size allows it to easily surround enemies. Fast walking speed and decent health. Can raise fallen troops into weaker versions of Spirit Wolves.
  • Giant Orm — Built by Shaman. A very slow-moving land unit resembling a caterpillar. Has good health and a very strong attack. Best used on fixed structures.
  • Giant Barracuda — Built by Shaman. Sea-only creature, same size as a ship. Capabilities unknown as it could not be used in battle.
• TAROS
  • Kamikaze Rat — Built by Temple. Small unit that can cloak, making it a good spy. Medium speed. Must uncloak to attack but has wide attack damage. Enough hit points to survive a few hits.
  • Rictus — Built by Abyss. Slow-moving land unit with attack and range similar to the Fire Demon. Good support unit.
  • Darkhand — Built by Abyss. A mace-wielding troop unit with good range. Slow and only medium health. Attack is not too powerful.
  • Fallen Angel — Built by Dark Priest. A flying unit with a strong offense. Has three attack modes, with a very powerful group killer attack. Low hit points considering its cost. Best used in fly-by attacks.
