Welcome to the Beastiary!
If you scroll down a tad you'll see the Guide Index on the lower right, which you can use to navigate to the section you're looking for.

If you're unfamiliar with the stat icons, here's a guide:
  • The Fire DoT is a Fire Damage over Time effect that only applies to the Flamer and Lightbearer attacks by default. Ranged Infantry can gain the effect with the Flame Arrow Upgrade. The number given is the Fire Damage dealt per second. It lasts for 8 seconds (exception: Rookie Archer).
  • Fire Damage ignores Armor.
  • XP measures progress toward next Level, for Heroes, or Emboldenment, for all others.
  • Armor reduces incoming Damage by 70%, to a minimum of 1, while any Armor remains.
  • Shred removes the given amount of Armor.

Elites
  • Note that some Elites have multiple layers of Armor. Each layer reduces incoming Damage by
  • 70%, multiplicatively, until broken, but Attacks will always deal at least 1 Damage.
  • Both Armor and HP regenerate if not Attacked for 5-10 seconds, but broken layers do not mend.
  • Each Elite drops a number of Crystals that can vary. Listed values are based on my observations playing on Nightmare+ difficulty.
  • Each Crystal is worth 3 Essence.

1 layer. Maximum Damage reduction: 70%
Drops 3 Crystals.

1 layer. Maximum Damage reduction: 70%
Drops 2-3 Crystals.

1 layer. Maximum Damage reduction: 70%

Thank you please update this
Buntkreuz 19 Jan @ 5:48am 
Im missing cavalry a bit and maybe a cheaper but weaker variant of the Arbalest that replaces the Archer line (Crossbowmen).
Maybe with a new faction that hopefully will come if the game is successful enough.
