Butcher

Butchers are Grineer units that wield single Cleavers. They lack the armor and ranged firepower standard Grineer units possess, making them much easier to kill; in exchange, they can move quicker and deal more damage with their melee weapons. Butchers will wind-up their attacks for a split second, making it possible for players to dodge.
==Tactics==

**Despite this, Saturn, Ceres and Sedna exclusively allow Butchers to spawn higher than this limit.
