The Warfather is a Tainted Coil ranged infantry hierarchy unit.
Story[]
The first Warfather to be seen appears when Doviculus arrives at the Temple of Ormagöden, following the escape of Eddie Riggs and Ophelia. Afterwards, they are seen assisting the forces of General Lionwhyte during a few missions.
Following the events of "Doom's Dawn", they are found roaming the Western Continent with Skull Raker escorts near Bladehenge, Battersmith, and Tophat Mountain.
Role[]
Ranged infantry, hierarchy unit. Superior version available. Slowly heals nearby minions and quickly regenerates his own health when surrounded by minions.
Warfathers use the tomes they carry to conjure and fire bolts of unholy energy at their targets. These can be blocked by avatars though, and can miss their target if they are moving and/or at a distance.
Double Team[]
Doviculus must hold an audience with Warfathers to produce the Screamwagon, Pain Lifter, Skull Raker, and Superior Battle Nun. If he holds an audience with a Superior Warfather, he can produce Superior Screamwagons, Superior Pain Lifters, Superior Skull Rakers, and Divine Battle Nuns.
The Warfather is vulnerable to attack while birthing new units, as he cannot move or fight back until the process is complete.
