Hello everyone, We wanted to share more details about the new units and commanders you'll find in Wargroove's upcoming free DLC Double Trouble (we'll have news about a release date soon)! Were also incredibly excited that PS4 and Switch versions of the Wargroove Deluxe Edition physical copies released this week, so make sure to check out retailers such as Amazon, GAME, GameStop, JB Hi Fi, Micromania, ShopTo, fnac, MediaMarkt, Argos to grab a copy to hold in your hands!

Thief

The Thief is sneakiest unit in the game. What they lack in strength, they more than make up with cunning and sleight of hand. Thieves can fill their knapsacks with 300 gold by ransacking enemy buildings, and 1000 gold if they manage to pull off a heist on the enemy Stronghold.
Thieves cant do this alone though! Since theyre unable to attack, theyll need reinforcements, subterfuge and protection as they journey across the map. Let it be said that opportunity makes a thief!

Rifleman

A Rifleman spends their whole life training to become an expert marksman watch out, you dont want to be in this units line of sight, lest you be blown across the map! But with limited ammo, comes great responsibility, as youll need to keep track of how many shots your Rifleman has left to avoid stopping to reload out in the open.
Of course, not just a pretty face, a Rifleman can be deadly when theyre desperate, landing critical hits when theyre down to their last shot. If youre going up against this gun-wielding unit, make sure to take cover between the trees, where their bullets wont reach you.

New Commanders

Commanders are the most powerful unit type in Wargroove -leading their troops into battle and using their special ability to turn the battle in their favor. We have some new commanders arriving in Double Trouble. These three are all from the Outlaw faction, a group of lawless rogues who plunder and pillage.

Wulfar

Wulfar is the Chief of the largest and oldest Outlaw clan in Aurania. He stands enormously tall and uses his colossal strength to wield his weapon of choice a massive stone hammer. It may seem a clumsy instrument, but years of training allow him to wield it with expert precision.
He comes from a long line of pirates and thieves and uses his flexibility and adaptability to overcome opponents in battle. Though many are intimidated by his towering physique, Wulfars strong resolve, quick thinking, and clever problem solving are the reasons his Outlaw clan follows him. Wulfars groove uses his hammer like a supercharged golf club, launching his target across the map, dealing damage to both the target and any enemies they land near. With one fell swoop of the hammer, Wulfar can launch ground units into the ocean to immediately defeat them or swing at allies to reposition them during battle.

Errol & Orla

These twin commanders come as a pair, but operate as one! They have two Grooves between them, but share a single Groove Meter. With feisty Orla on the attack and thoughtful Errol defending, this dynamic duo is a force to be reckoned with.
Carefully choosing which Groove to unleash depending on the state of the battle will be key to maximising the twins potential, although being typical siblings they often bicker on which Groove is best. Errol would argue that his groove Cooling Water has the best applications. Once activated, a large area is covered with healing magic, shrinking in size over several turns. Any units left in the area at the start of the twins turn are healed for 20% of their full health, so be careful not to accidentally heal enemy units! Orla would tell you that her groove, Scorching Fire is the better of the two. Initially igniting only a single tile, the flaming area grows in size over several turns creating an area of destruction that instantly defeats any unit caught in the flames. And we really mean any unit, including your own.

Vesper

Sly, deceitful and abrasive, Vesper certainly makes an impression this notorious criminal is capable of conjuring a demonic smoke beast with just a whip and a flourish. A real bte noire, nest-ce pas?
Vesper is the main antagonist in our brand new co-op story campaign. Fresh from kidnapping someone close to Wulfar and the twins, Vesper demands a hefty ransom for their return. Wulfar, Errol and Orla must raid the Imperial Palace of Heavensong, The Stone Mountain Fort of Felheim, The Celandine Vault of Cherrystone and the Florans Iron Root reserves Its a heist, for all the gold in Aurania! Vespers groove Smoke Shroud sees her shrouding an area of the map in thick, magical smoke. Units within this area cannot be targeted or counter-attacked for one turn. That's it for this preview! Again, if you're interested in the physical edition of the game for consoles there's a variety of included goodies - a map, a classic instruction manual, soundtrack code, and stickers!
