Description

Attacks a target with a unit.

This action not only used to damage any object, but it's also good for destroying deposits, picking up gem piles & lighting a bomb's fuse.

⚠️ There is friendly fire - you can damage your own units and core. So BE CAREFUL!
  • Units can only attack one tile up, down, left or right; for more see Action Position Limits.
  • Units can only attack if their action cooldown is 0, for more see Cooldowns.
