🛡️ New Unit Reveal: Meet Drumkeeper 🌲
New Unit Arrived Into The Forrest
A brand-new support unit has and entered Wild Forest - meet Drumkeeper, a melee warrior with one mission: protect allies from devastating AoE attacks and amplify their power with every step.
It means - Starting June 9, all Lord Stakers and users with Fragments can get their own Drumkeeper via mint.
Tip💡: The Unit is playable and ready to enter the battle right after the mint.
Whether you're struggling against splash-heavy decks or looking to boost your glass-cannon builds, Drumkeeper might be the key to your next winning strategy.
🥁 What Makes Drumkeeper Special?
Drumkeeper is a Tier III melee support unit with unique abilities centered around damage mitigation and team-wide attack bonuses. He’s not here to do the heavy lifting alone — his power multiplies when surrounded by allies.
Let’s break it down:
🔥 AoE Resistance — for Himself and the Team
- Personal Resistance: Drumkeeper takes 80% less damage from all area-of-effect (AoE) attacks
- Protective Aura: Allies within his radius take 50% less damage from AoE attacks
Tip💡: Drumkeeper counters Pyromancer flames, splash bombers, and everything in between
Tip💡: Healing effects are unaffected — your friendly healers still work as intended

🧐 How to Get The Drumkeeper?
Starting Monday, June 9, redeem your Fragments for one Drumkeeper Unit.
💡Important: Each Drumkeeper redeemed using Fragments can randomly be Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, or Legendary (with random Perks for Epic & Legendary)
June 23 Drumkeeper will also be available as a reward through Battle Pass progression, and after added to Trophy Road chests and Castles.
💪 “Battle Rhythm” Damage Aura
Drumkeeper isn’t just a shield — he’s also a force amplifier.
- Allies (and himself) within the aura receive a +5% base damage bonus per unit in range
- More allies = more power for everyone affected
- Auras from multiple Drumkeepers stack for even stronger buffs
Example: 5 units in the aura = +25% bonus damage to each.
2 Drumkeepers + 1 unit overlapping = each gets +15% from each other’s aura
This opens the door to clever synergy builds: boost high-damage low-health units while shielding them from AoE wipeouts.
🧠 Best "To Do" With Drumkeeper
- Place him on the frontline to soak up AoE damage
- Pair him with fragile but powerful DPS units — like Marksman or Warlock
- Stack multiple Drumkeepers in your deck for exponential aura bonuses
- Time his placement to turn the tide of battle with synchronized team power
