Combat Units

Hilichurls

Name	Information & Description
— "Dada Samachurl"	Single-Target Ranged Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 25 Ranged Captain unit. Able to initiate rituals to summon mysterious objects that attack enemy units. A Captain gamepiece based on Mystifying Megachurls. The Dada Samachurl differs from ordinary hilichurls in both appearance and combat style, continuously summoning mysterious objects to strike opponents. This unit is included in the wargame to prepare for possible encounters with similar unusual opponents in future battles.
— "War Axe"	Squad Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 25 A standard frontline Melee unit. Swings its massive axe to deal Pyro DMG to nearby foes. A gamepiece based on Blazing Axe Mitachurls. Muscular hilichurls who wield large, two-handed axes. Strong enough to infuse their battle axes with remarkably destructive Pyro Elemental energy, they can seriously pressure a defensive line made up of ordinary humans. In addition, Blazing Axe Mitachurls are widely distributed, and their numbers are nothing to sneeze at. They can be considered a "mainstay frontline unit" among monsters, and by focusing research on understanding the characteristics of their combat, generalized tactics for dealing with similar-sized monsters may be formulated.
— Hilichurl Fighter	Squad Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 20 Basic Melee unit. Each squad has 4 members. They use clubs to attack enemies, dealing Physical DMG. They may have a fearsome offense, but they are rather frail. A gamepiece based on Hilichurl Fighters. Each unit has 4 fighters. The primitive wandering inhabitants of Teyvat's wildernesses, they are tribal warriors with a simple belief in the power of their physical prowess. Compared to the massive Mitachurls, they are far nimbler. In battle, their club-wielding style of fighting is more similar to ordinary soldiers, and they can sometimes even cooperate well with their companions, making them an excellent sample for researching teamfighting tactics.

These archers wield simple crossbows, and their arrowheads are crafted from carved Electro Crystals that will deliver an electric shock upon impact. Based on field observations, Hilichurl Shooters will cooperate with their comrades who are better suited to close-quarters combat, forming the basic elements of combined arms combat tactics by coordinating ranged fire with melee attacks, and understand concentrating firepower on key targets. Hilichurl Shooters are therefore considered a standard ranged unit, useful for undertaking in-depth research that will produce easily applicable results...
— Cryo Hilichurl Shooter	Squad Ranged Base Level: 20 Basic Ranged unit. Each squad has 2 members. They fire Cryo arrows at enemies, dealing Cryo DMG.

— Hydro Samachurl	Single-Target Ranged Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 30 Elite Ranged unit that cannot target Flying units. Normally recites incantations aimed at a single Ground target, dealing Hydro DMG after a short period. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, creates an area where rain continuously falls, applying Hydro and healing allied targets. A gamepiece based on Hydro Samachurls. A wizened, mumbling hilichurl, one that chants of the power of Hydro. For reasons unknown they have mastered the secret of summoning water and rain. "Hydro" often plays a pivotal role on the battlefield, and effectively using the effects created by its power can yield considerable advantages. Using these commonly-found Hydro Samachurls as a starting point to research water-based tactics not only acts as a cost-saving measure, but allows for steady, incremental progress.
— Anemo Samachurl	Single-Target Ranged Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 30 Elite Ranged unit that cannot target Flying units. It summons whirlwinds to attack, dealing AoE Anemo DMG to enemy Ground units. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, casts a Vortex. The Vortex will continuously suck in enemies within range, dealing Anemo DMG. A gamepiece based on Anemo Samachurls. A wizened, mumbling hilichurl, one that spreads the message of Anemo. For reasons unknown they have mastered the secret of commanding the flowing winds. "Anemo" often plays a pivotal role on the battlefield, and effectively using the effects created by its power can yield considerable advantages.

— Hydro Hilichurl Rogue	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 50 Apex Melee unit. Periodically squeezes a Hydro Slime to unleash large quantities of Hydro bubbles, dealing Hydro DMG and immobilizing weaker enemies. Normally uses a scythe to perform spinning attacks, dealing AoE Hydro DMG. A gamepiece based on Hydro Hilichurl Rogues. Hilichurl wanderers unaffiliated with any specific tribe. They can often be found roving the wilds as if in voluntary exile. They seem to possess a higher level of intelligence than commonplace hilichurls. Among the humanoid enemies commonly encountered by the armed forces and adventurers of various nations, Hydro Hilichurl Rogues are considered among the most dangerous. They wield their scythes dexterously and lethally, and only the most elite and skilled warriors can face them alone. For these reasons, warriors often consider this humanoid capable of breaking through formations, and will focus their forces on dealing with them first.
— Frostarm Lawachurl	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 50 Apex Melee unit. Periodically uses earthshaking attacks and heavy blows to deal AoE Cryo DMG. After being deployed, applies a Cryo armor to itself. While the armor exists, the Frostarm Lawachurl's skills will be enhanced and it will take less damage, but the armor will break after a set period of time or being subject to enough Elemental reactions. A gamepiece based on Frostarm Lawachurls. A mysterious "lord" of hilichurls that stalks the snow and fog. This huge hilichurl is referred to as a "lawa" by its brethren. Its body, honed to the very limit, almost seems to blend into its Cryo-filled environment, and its stoic nobility is like that of the frozen northland rivers. To normal humans, units of this level can be considered among the greatest threats. They must be pinned down by tough melee squads, allowing precise strikes from ranged troops to weaken the foe, before finally combining their strength to repel it. Adding this unit into the wargame is the equivalent of adding a variable akin to a "great general," which helps push the tactical deductions that can be made to the absolute maximum.

A member of the decentralized criminal organization that has footprints all over the continent and even deep within unknown domains. Among the Treasure Hoarders, these individuals engage in physical labor, and will display surprising agility and strength when the group is under attack. This kind of "lightly armed human faction" is the classic example of a unit consisting of large numbers of low-threat members. Though not particularly difficult to deal with, they are useful for training warriors to deal with waves of enemy harassment.
— Treasure Hoarder Scout	Squad Ranged Base Level: 20 Basic Ranged unit. Each squad has 3 members. Hurls throwing knives to deal Physical DMG.

Compared to ordinary bandits or Treasure Hoarders, this kind of foe has many more combat styles at their disposal. Their movements can be quite varied and difficult to predict, making them a subject worthy of detailed study. Using them as a unit during the wargame is conducive to training the thinking capabilities of soldiers, such that they might avoid suffering losses should they cross swords with such foes in the future.
— Fatui Skirmisher - Pyroslinger Bracer	Single-Target Ranged Base Level: 20 Basic Ranged unit. Aims and fires Pyro bullets to attack enemy units. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, aims and fires 3 powerful firepower attacks. A gamepiece based on Fatui Skirmisher - Pyroslinger Bracers.

Examining this unit's combat behavior in wargames can help refine one's tactics for improved results in upcoming battles.
— Oprichniki Fireblade Shock Trooper	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 50 Apex Melee Unit. Performs Pyro slashes on enemy units after being deployed. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, charges at enemy units, dealing AoE Pyro DMG. A gamepiece based on Oprichniki Fireblade Shock Troopers.

Should they be unfortunate enough to find themselves facing a Scorching Loremaster, the danger to warriors and adventurers alike comes not just from her outstanding individual prowess, but also her wisdom and planning, which are unlike those possessed by any monsters. Courage, concentration, and constant clear-headed resolve are necessary to defeat such a foe.

Aberrant Monsters

Name	Information & Description
— "General Capy"	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 25 Melee Captain unit that falls into a peaceful slumber when battle begins. But when it awakens, it becomes a powerful and highly reliable fighting unit! A Captain gamepiece based on Capybaras. Calm and dependable in nature, this creature often takes a peaceful rest before battle so it can enter combat at full energy. When encountered in the wild, quietly leaving while it sleeps may be the safest approach...
— "Kagemusha"	AoE Ranged Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 25 Ranged Captain unit that cannot target Flying units. Attacks enemy units with its ninja blade, dealing Electro DMG. After defeating an enemy, it leaps high into the air, unleashing a powerful Electro AoE attack. A Captain gamepiece based on Kageroumaru. Although it looks harmless due to its dog-like form, its seasoned battle experience makes it anything but. Its refined blade technique is capable of cutting through any defense. While encounters with the "Kagemusha" are uncommon, preparing stratagems early helps reduce risk.
— Electro Cicin	Squad Flying Base Level: 20 Basic Flying unit. Each squad has 3 members. It takes flight after being deployed, launching an Electro bolt at enemies. A gamepiece based on Electro Cicins. Each unit has 3 cicins. A very small creature that can manipulate Electro a little bit. Its strength isn't anything to write home about, but under certain conditions, it can exert considerable power — Thanks to its compact dimensions and ability to fly beneath the treetops, it is difficult to detect Cicins, making early warning difficult. When conducting raids, they are often already nearly on top of their targets before they are discovered, by which point it is far too late to organize a defense. For this reason, using groups of Cicins as the hypothetical enemy is more than sufficient when training soldiers to deal with small, agile targets.
— Hydro Cicin	Squad Flying Base Level: 20 Basic Flying unit. Each squad has 3 members. It takes flight after being deployed, launching a Hydro bolt at enemies. A gamepiece based on Hydro Cicins. Each unit has 3 cicins. A very small creature that can manipulate Hydro a little bit.

When conducting raids, they are often already nearly on top of their targets before they are discovered, by which point it is far too late to organize a defense. For this reason, using groups of Cicins as the hypothetical enemy is more than sufficient when training soldiers to deal with small, agile targets.
— Floating Anemo Fungus	AoE Flying Base Level: 20 Basic Flying unit that will take flight after being deployed. Launches Anemo energy projectiles at enemy units that require a period of charging, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. A gamepiece based on Floating Anemo Fungi. A spore organism of some intelligence. It possesses extreme adaptability. Its hollow umbrella-like structure gives it excellent buoyancy, allowing it to float, suspended in midair. It is a classic small to mid-size Flying unit. When using the power of Anemo to attack, it can affect targets within a certain area of effect — a trait worthy of study. Its relatively moderate movement speed makes it an easy target for most soldiers, but its cuteness in both appearance and habit makes it difficult to pull the trigger...
— Floating Hydro Fungus	AoE Flying Base Level: 20 Basic Flying unit that will take flight after being deployed. Launches Hydro bubbles at enemy units that require a period of charging, dealing Hydro DMG and immobilizing weaker enemies. A gamepiece based on Floating Hydro Fungi. A spore organism of some intelligence. It possesses extreme adaptability. It appears quite fragile, and most individuals found out in the wild are generally harmless, yet some Floating Hydro Fungi have significant capabilities of understanding, and have great potential to assist warriors in battle. For this reason, studying their battle patterns could improve your martial capabilities.
— Geovishap Hatchling	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 30 Elite Melee unit. Uses spinning attacks to deal AoE Physical DMG in an area around it. A gamepiece based on Geovishap Hatchlings. A young vishap with a hard Geo exoskeleton. Vishaps are exceptionally agile creatures that one would be wise not to underestimate in battle. Thanks to their special way of moving, Geovishap Hatchlings have the ability to execute surprise attacks, covering distance quickly. The protection their armor offers against ordinary weapons is also an important part of their overall combat efficacy. Understanding the combat capabilities of such monsters is an effective way to increase the ability of each nation's military forces to deal with fast-moving, heavily armored units.
— Bubbler Seahorse	AoE Ranged Base Level: 30 Elite Ranged unit that normally attacks with Electro orbs fired from its tail, dealing AoE Electro DMG. This unit has an Electro Fontemer shell, which will break after being subjected to enough Elemental reactions. After the shell is broken, it will switch to spraying attacks, dealing Hydro DMG to a single enemy unit. A gamepiece based on Bubbler Seahorses. The adult form of a male Bubbly Seahorse. It is extremely aggressive and can utilize the power of both Electro and Hydro in combat. Dangerous creatures with element-based defenses can be difficult foes to face, and anyone who faces them must exercise the highest level of caution. In addition, Bubbler Seahorses can attack with both Electro and Hydro, making them extremely valuable subjects for research. Naturally, while most soldiers will never have the chance to dive and engage in underwater combat, the lessons learned from this enemy will aid them in containing foes more widely found and yet more deadly...
— Sternshield Crab	Single-Target Ranged Base Level: 30 Elite Ranged unit that normally attacks by firing Pyro orbs, dealing Pyro DMG. This unit has a Pyro Fontemer shell, which will break after being subjected to enough Elemental reactions. After the shell is broken, it will switch to melee attacks, dealing Physical DMG. A gamepiece based on Sternshield Crabs. A crab that makes its home in borrowed shells. After finding a shell that fits its current size and getting used to the shell's characteristics, it can display considerable offensive and defensive capabilities. Just like its name of "Sternshield" implies, normal human weapons have a hard time taking out targets with such full-body armor at a stroke. They also have the ability to propel Pyro forth, attacking enemies at range, so they're practically mobile turrets, and thus the ideal enemy for warriors to practice assaulting fortified positions.
— Winged Cryoshroom	Single-Target Flying Base Level: 30 Elite Flying unit that will take flight after being deployed. Charges to attack enemies in the air and swoops down to attack enemies on the ground, dealing Cryo DMG. A gamepiece based on Winged Cryoshrooms. A mimetic life form made out of spores that has extreme adaptability. Going well past mere appearances, this being even imitates the habits of birds. When it flies about, it will scatter icy flowers in its wake. These crystal cores, too, are spores. As this creature has a position of command amongst colonies of fungal beasts, it can be seen as a kind of command unit that increases overall combat power, training warriors on how to take out an enemy's command center.
— Consecrated Red Vulture	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 50 Apex melee unit. Sweeps its wings to deal AoE Pyro DMG. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, unleashes a great many flaming feathers, dealing AoE Pyro DMG. A gamepiece based on Consecrated Red Vultures. A scavenging bird of prey that has mutated after feeding from greater lifeforms. The greater lifeforms devoured by Consecrated Beasts often have nigh-immortal consciousness that can never be fully silenced or eradicated. The very power and consciousness gained by Consecrated Beasts devouring these lifeforms will, in turn, drive them to seek more violence and carrion. The Consecrated Red Vulture was included in the wargames precisely because of the danger it poses, as one of the highest threat-level units.
— Consecrated Scorpion	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 50 Apex Melee unit. Continuously attacks with its pincers, dealing AoE Electro DMG to enemies. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, unleashes a great many Electro stings, dealing AoE Electro DMG over a very large area. A gamepiece based on Consecrated Scorpions. An arthropod that has mutated after feeding from greater lifeforms. For ordinary travelers and adventurers, running into a Consecrated Scorpion is basically a death sentence. In order to find ways to fight against and exterminate these extremely dangerous creatures, this extremely dangerous creature was added to the wargame, such that the armed forces can carefully research how to effectively attack and defend against them through accumulating extensive experience...

Automatons

Name	Information & Description
— "Mechanoid Assistant"	Single-Target Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 25 Melee Captain unit that can enhance nearby friendly units, every 3 seconds, temporarily increasing the Level of your lowest-level unit member by 3, and restoring HP equal to 5% of its Max HP. A Captain gamepiece based on Arithmetic Enhancer Meks. Designed to transmit and enhance signals, this clockwork meka is valued more for the support it provides to the squad than for its individual combat strength. In most battles, high-damage combat units naturally draw the most attention. Even so, the "Mechanoid Assistant" provides support that remains essential to the team.
— "Swingtail Saurian"	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 25 Melee Captain unit. Deals AoE DMG to enemies with sweeps of its tail. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, launches missiles to deal AoE damage over a large area, temporarily reducing the enemy's Level by 10% upon hit. A Captain gamepiece based on Ruin Drake: Earthguards. A horrifying dragon-shaped machine. It is said to be a war machine left behind by a now-destroyed nation. It mimics the appearance of the beings known as Vishaps, with some functional enhancements. Even a machine that appears indestructible has its weaknesses. Repeated analysis of it in wargames may reveal ways to improve performance against it.
— Ruin Defender	Squad Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 20 Basic Melee Unit. Each squad has 2 members. Attacks a single target, dealing Physical DMG. When defeated, they cause the enemy unit with the highest Level on the field to lose 5 levels temporarily. A gamepiece based on Ruin Defenders. Various bizarrely-shaped machines that have taken different forms and functions to adapt to different goals. Legend has it that they are war machines left behind by a nation that has already been destroyed. Compared to the more common Ruin Guards, their design has greater value in the study of biomimesis. The insect-like limbs are more agile than those of humanoid machines. Lacking independent thinking, this machine works well with Human units during combat. Examining its combat performance helps refine how it fits into future stratagems.
— Suppression Specialist Mek - Ousia	Single-Target Ranged Base Level: 20 Basic Ranged unit. Fires homing missiles at a single target, dealing Pyro DMG. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, launches three rounds of suppressive fire. A gamepiece based on Suppression Specialist Meks: Ousia. A specialist clockwork meka adapted from the Cal. Scherbius type. They are primarily designed for offensive purposes. Outside of Fontaine, they can use pre-prepared Energy Blocks to move over short distances for short periods of time. As an autonomous weapon of similar size to ordinary human soldiers, the dimensions and offensive capabilities of this meka have reached a certain balance, making it easier to deploy, move, and conceal. The combination of formidable ranged firepower and robust armor allows it to manifest significant offensive and defensive capabilities at the same time, and it is thus rated as a pillar of the battlefield.
— Nimble Harvester Mek - Pneuma	Squad Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 20 Basic Melee unit. Each squad has 2 members. Periodically charges, dealing Anemo DMG to enemies in a straight line. They normally stay in the same spot performing spinning attacks that deal Physical DMG. A gamepiece based on Nimble Harvester Meks — Pneuma. Each unit has 2 meks. A clockwork meka designed to excavate and transport sand and soil that is powered by the energy produced from pneuma-ousia annihilation reactions. For this wargame simulation, it was designed as a unit that can only have the Pneuma alignment. Thanks to its unique appearance, it can quickly buzzsaw forward, striking targets along a straight line with considerable destructive force. Tactics developed to deal with this kind of meka can be adapted to defend against and respond to the attacks of catapults, rolling boulders, and all kinds of other tough monsters that make use of spinning movement.
— Ruin Guard	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 30 Elite Melee unit famed for its incredible resilience in battle. Uses mechanical combat methods to deal AoE Physical DMG. A gamepiece based on Ruin Guards. An ancient humanoid war machine armed with "explosive firepower" that can be found all over Teyvat. The armed services of various nations often use it as the default hypothetical enemy, and look for ways to destroy them from medium to long range. This is because the immense power they possess would utterly overwhelm ordinary people, and engaging in close combat with them is a very bad idea. Based on preliminary analysis, Ruin Guards are far more destructive towards buildings than to small, agile units, and so they have been designated as playing the role of the terrifyingly strong battering ram in this simulation.
— Ruin Hunter	AoE Flying Base Level: 30 Elite Flying unit that will take flight after being deployed, dealing Physical AoE DMG to enemy units. When defeated, causes the enemy unit with the highest Level on the field to lose 10 levels temporarily. A gamepiece based on Ruin Hunters. A giant alien war machine. They are said to be remnants from a lost ancient nation. Apparently, the creators opted to forgo the low-performing humanoid-design in pursuit of improved combat effectiveness. They are extremely dangerous both in melee and ranged combat. Their notable destructive power and aerial advantage allow them to function as strong combat units in wargames.
— Ruin Grader	AoE Melee Cannot Target Flying Base Level: 50 Apex Melee unit. Deals AoE Physical DMG by stomping on the enemy. Point Man's Horn: Upon entering the field, performs a clapping motion and fires a powerful beam, dealing AoE Physical DMG. A game piece based on Ruin Graders. An ancient humanoid war machine, its form is similar to that of Ruin Guards, but is more distorted and more powerful. Energy cores have been installed in both its legs, as though to power its overly heavy form. Due to its immense strength and ability to defend against massive damage at the front lines, it frequently emerges as a top-tier combat unit in Wargames.
