Troopers appear to be small humanoid golems with a large burning candle atop their head. In combat, the amount of wax on the candle directly reflects the amount of health a trooper has. There are 3 types of basic troopers; Ranged Troopers, Melee Troopers and Banner Troopers.

Troopers serve as the primary means to pushing lanes, appearing in waves of 4 every 30 seconds; after 20 minutes, this this spawn time is reduced to 25 seconds. These waves consist of 2 Ranged Troopers, 1 Melee Trooper and 1 Banner Trooper. 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. Troopers take reduced damage from enemy [[Guardian]]s, [[Walker|Walkers]] and the [[Patron]] to act as a frontline for players looking to push lanes.

During laning phase, Troopers are also the most reliable source of [[Souls]]. Like most units, slain Troopers will grant part of their Souls on kill, and release a [[Soul Orb]] to claim the full amount. Killing a Trooper with a [[melee attack]] prevents an orb from spawning and awards 100% of the value on kill.
