Editing Trooper (section)Give feedback

== Overview ==
Troopers appear to be small humanoid puppet-like automata, {{PageRef|The Hidden King|alt_name=Amber}} Troopers have candles serving as their heads while {{PageRef|The Archmother|alt_name=Sapphire}} Troopers have lamps as their heads instead. Troopers visually appear to become more damaged depending on their health. There are 3 types of basic troopers: Ranged Troopers, Melee Troopers and Medic Troopers. Each trooper wave has 2 Ranged, 1 Melee and 1 Medic.

Troopers serve as the primary means to pushing lanes. The waves spawn as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|+Trooper wave spawn rate

!Spawn frequency
|-
|0 to 20 min
|30s
|-
|20 to 35 min
|25s
|-
|over 35 min
|20s
|}
Initially the waves consist of 3 Ranged Troopers and 1 Medic Trooper; after 5 minutes they become 2 Ranged, 1 Melee and 1 Medic. Troopers enter lanes by riding [[Ziplines]] in a vessel, which can be shot down to force them to drop early. Once on the ground, Troopers will attempt to move down the lane, attacking other enemy Troopers, [[Heroes]] and [[structures]] on the way.

During laning phase, Troopers are also the most reliable source of [[Souls]]. Slain Troopers will drop a [[Soul Orb]] on the ground that can be picked up by nearby ally players for {{#expr:{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_trooper_instant_gold_ratio_postlaning}}*100}}% of the soul bounty, and release a floating Soul Orb that can be confirmed or denied by players for the remaining {{#expr:100-({{DataProp|Convar|citadel_trooper_instant_gold_ratio_postlaning}}*100)}}% souls. Killing a Trooper with a [[melee attack]] prevents orbs from spawning and awards 100% of the value on kill.

=== Combat Stats ===
Troopers have a complex set of resistances and vulnerabilities that change based on the game's state and their opponents.

Note: Player damage resist is applied against [[Bullet Damage]], but not against [[Melee Damage]].

'''Other combat stats'''
* They gradually gain spirit resistance over time, reaching 20% at 25 minutes and 70% at 50 minutes.
* Troopers gain {{NpcData|trooper_base|EnemyBaseDamageReduction}}% damage resistance when near/in the enemy base.
* At 35 minutes, all Troopers gain +50% HP.

'''Sight Range'''
* Troopers have two different sight ranges:
** '''Vs. NPCs:''' {{NpcData|trooper_normal|SightRangeNPCs|2}}m
** '''Vs. Heroes:''' {{NpcData|trooper_normal|SightRangePlayers|2}}m

=== Health Regen ===
Troopers have 7 out of combat [[Health Regen|health regen]].

=== Math ===
Trooper bounty is divided by {{#expr:{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_trooper_instant_gold_ratio_postlaning}}*100}}% in the ground Orb and {{#expr:100-({{DataProp|Convar|citadel_trooper_instant_gold_ratio_postlaning}}*100)}}% in the floating Orb, or 100% on death if killed by a melee attack.

The total Soul bounty per Trooper is equal to {{Souls|{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_trooper_gold_reward}}}} + ({{Souls|{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_trooper_gold_reward_bonus_per_minute}}}} per min).
