The Builder is the backbone of any army. His primary task is to build the infrastructure necessary to protect and provide mobility to the army. He is able to build ladders, towers, drawbridges, spikes and workshops. The builder goes into the battlefield with 10 wood by default (this amount can depend on server settings) and he can mine different types of materials.

Building
The builder's primary action is to build. He can create massive stone buildings or specialized traps to ensnare or impale enemies using spikes. Basic structures can be as simple as large rectangles of stone. These may be hollowed out to create tactical towers which can house workshops or archer nests. At the beginning of most Capture The Flag matches, there is a building phase in which builders can create fortifications before battle. It is easy to get a refill of resources by going back to the tent, so this is the greatest opportunity to build strong defenses.
As a player gains experience in building, he learns to utilize space and resources efficiently in structures. Certain traps, such as spike pits (a deep pit dug into the ground with bridges over it and spikes at the bottom), often take more time than is worth it. More specialized features that aid other classes in combat are created.
Hammer
The Builder's hammer can be used not only for mining and destroying structures, but also for attacking enemies. The builder's hammer has a faster attack rate, but does only half a heart of damage each time and cannot break a knight's shield.
Gameplay Tips
- It's sometimes cheaper to destroy and replace damaged doors and castle walls rather than repairing them.
- Reinforce stone structures with background walls to prevent collapsing.
- You can convert damaged enemy doors by hitting them once and then repairing them.
- Builders are very effective saboteurs. They can quickly destroy defenses like doors or destroy catapults.
- A builder's attack does little damage to a knight. However, landing on one from a greater height will do more damage.
- Use bridges to make one-way ladders for your team.
- Spikes are not the only trap you can make. Put a background tile followed by one or two stone blocks in front of a defense tower. When the enemy starts trying to climb, remove the background tile and watch them die under the falling stone!
- Builders can see better than other classes in the dark. A circle of light allows them to see their surroundings in dark places, such as in tunnels.
Update History
- Fixed builder not being able to pickup rubble [0000235]
- Fixed builder killing with hammer msg
- Builder rectangle cursor doesn't appear if not buildable and not diggable
- Fixed Builder can't pick 3rd heart
- Builder has to stand still to build
