The Orcish Catapult has always been a standing asset to the Horde. Capable of hurling fiery projectiles over great distances, Orcish Catapults have been the doom of many Alliance regiments. Though a small team of Orcs must always be available to man these destructive machines, unerringly Catapults serve as the Horde's greatest siege weapon.
Information
Use Catapults when assaulting enemy bases, especially on towers. Bring a few Catapults along with your army to attack other armies.
This unit does splash damage. Check out the above stats information for the areas of damage.
Catapults have a minimum range which means they cannot attack melee units or any units right next to them. You will have to move them away to hit targets right next to them.
Bring Peons with Catapults to repair them during and after battle.
