'''Troopers''', also colloquially called '''Minions''' or '''Creeps''', are common offensive units summoned by the [[Patron]]. They are the primary force for pushing lanes and early [[Souls|Soul]] farming.

== Overview ==
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. 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.

Troopers gradually gain spirit resistance, reaching 20% resistance at 25 minutes and 70% at 50 minutes. 

Troopers gain 35% [[Damage Resistance|resistance]] when inside the enemy base.

=== Math ===
Trooper bounty is divided by 50% on Trooper death and 50% in the Soul Orb, or 100% on death if killed by a melee attack.

The total Soul bounty per Trooper is equal to {{Souls|120}} + ({{Souls|1.5}} per min).

Additionally, they are divided among nearby ally players at the rates listed in table below:

=== Ranged Trooper ===
Ranged Troopers are the most common type of Trooper. They deal damage in a short range, resorting to [[Melee attack|melee]] if the player gets too close.

=== Melee Trooper ===
Melee Troopers are faster and tougher units that can only attack at close range.

=== Banner Trooper ===
Banner Troopers, also referred to as Medic Troopers, are a special type of Trooper that can heal nearby Heroes and other Troopers. They heal every 6 seconds. Healing bursts have a '''15m''' range, and heals '''80 HP''' to troopers and '''40 HP''' to allied Heroes during laning phase ('''80 HP''' after laning phase).

=== Super Troopers ===
All 3 basic Troopers have stronger "Super" variants, which start spawning while a team is in possession of a [[Rejuvenator]]. These super Troopers are bigger, tougher and deal more damage.

== Trivia ==
* There's an unused Trooper model in the game files labeled '''Trooper_Jetpack''', which has flying animations. The Jetpack Trooper was also present in [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']].
* The weapon carried by Ranged and Banner Troopers is shaped like a [[wikipedia:Candle_snuffer|candle snuffer]].
