Skills

Attack Area

Orders the unit to fire a salvo on the designated area. Afterward, they will attack enemies in the area at will.

Throw Grenades

The unit throws grenades at the targeted area, dealing area-of-effect damage and knocking down enemy soldiers. For 10 seconds after using this order, the unit's shooting speed and accuracy is increased, and the unit will lay down suppressive fire on the targeted area. Using any other unit order during this period will cancel this effect. Grenade ammunition is counted separately from musket ammunition.

Formations

Dispersed

A loose formation that reduces unit vulnerability to ranged weapons.

Three Ranks

The unit forms three ranks. Good for concentrating fire.

Guide

Playstyle

  1. Shenji are used nearly ONLY for the spell 2 (grenade), letting them shoot is near usless, better keep them safe and use the 2 on blob fights
  2. Some maps have spots where you can throw the grenades high up to the wall and surprise the enemy
  3. Most of the time, wait for the fight to blob up and then throw your nade in
  4. Preferable to play 2x Shenji at the same time with an ally - stacked nade volleys can completly wipe blobs
