Introduction
Forget everything you know about secret ponchos. This is warmonger territory. This is the territory of brutal thirst for violence. This is the territory of absurd damage, control, and mobility. You're in warmonger's town. Don't you mess around.
Who, and what is Warmonger?
A warrior banished by his own people for commiting shocking acts of brutality against his enemies. Warmonger is rumored to have wiped out entire tribes with his unquenchable thirst for violence.

Warmonger seems like an awkward Matador/Killer hybrid. He does have similar weapons to both of those characters, but plays in a style all his own. Warmonger is an eccentric, high DPS outlaw with high mobility, crowd control, and a STAMINA CRUSH. (AKA, the long awaited bane of shoulder-spam deserters.)
Playstyle
Warmonger's playstyle is high in versatility he can be played with styles such as:
  • Melee focus
  • Keepaway
  • Hit-and-run
  • Support
I personally play him with a high mobility playstyle with a focus on taking advantage of low cooldown tomahawks and consistently spacing, attacking, and retreating without mercy. If you like both being predator, and prey, Warmonger is your man.
I just ♥♥♥♥♥♥' hate this world. And the deserter mains feasting on its carcass....
Movelist
A guide for fighting game characters is never complete without a movelist.

WAR CLUB:


  • Vengeance: Aim + Primary fire

    This is a slow moving projectile like Killer's knife. If you want to hit it, be sure to predict where your opponent is going. Go for reads!

    TECH TIP: Dash cancels. Warmonger's war club has lots of heft to it, so it has a significantly laggy animation when thrown. This laggy throwing animation can be cancelled with a roll, just as the club is being thrown. This has a myriad of applications, such as approaching, retreating, or just making throwing the club safer to do.

  • War Club strike: Aim + Secondary Fire

    Bread and butter move. Try to hit the first strike on opponents, as it's a true combo into *angelic chorus* STOOOOONE PAAAAAAIN. Good for starting damaging combos due to it's stun. However, the 2nd hit has to have on-point rhythm or you just start wasting stamina on continuous 1st hits. The 2nd hit isn't even worth it though, as it knocks your opponent out of stun due to the stunblock system.
    TECH TIP: You can also dash-cancel this move, like with Vengeance as I mentioned earlier. Dash cancelling with this move can be used as a speedy approach to throw off your oppenent, just like with Killer's knife slash.

    TOMAHAWKS:


  • Tomahawk throw: Aim + Primary Fire

    Warmonger's bread and butter. Moves slower than other projectiles in the game so it may take getting used to. Learn to lead your throws (Timing so that they hit, by flying in the direction of your opponent)





  • STONE PAIN: AIM + SECONDARY FIRE
    BAR NONE, THE BEST MOVE IN THE GAME SINCE THE MEDKIT. GOT A SHOULDER SPAM DESERTER? CRIT SPAM WOLF? IS PHANTOM 2 FAST 5 U? NOT FOR LONG. IF YOU HIT THIS THING, YOUR OPPONENT'S STAMINA WILL BE CRUSHED HARDER THAN THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS. ANYONE IN THE GAME HIT BY THIS MOVE IS AUTOMATICALLY, BY LAW, YOUR GIMP. HITTING SOMEONE WITH THIS THING MAKES YOU THE DANNY MCBRIDE TO THE OPPONENT'S CHANNING TATUM IF YOU CATCH MY COLD.
    Phantom ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ poncho! I found him wandering in the saloon and made him my ♥♥♥♥♥!
Conclusion
I hope to update this guide in the future. There's not much I can talk about since the game is quite small as of today. See you space cowboy, and good luck with the Warmonger!
