Dark Peasant (Alpha)

```
Are you looking for the Dark Peasants’ version from the Legacy Faction

```

**Dark Peasant** **(Alpha)** is the boss unit from the Misc Faction . They are equipped with Dark Orbs.

## Overview

The **Dark Peasant** was one of the strongest Units in the game. This unit summons two energy balls to attack enemies. Due to the immense power of it's attacks, melee units are practically useless against it. Ranged units are now also useless due to its new buff, and not even the M16 can destroy it single-handedly. There is a glitch if you put down a Chicken Man Man in front of the Dark Peasant it will only target the Chicken Man Man, even if the Chicken Man Man is dead. In the Closed Alpha, the Dark Peasant can fly, and pulls in units around it, killing them by either the natural damage, or melee. It's buff is in health, making it nearly invincible. Due to having extreme amount of health, lots of DPS is required to kill it.

In the Open Alpha, the Dark Peasant used a different method of attack, by summoning extremely powerful spikes. The spikes would raise from beneath enemies' feet, impaling them from below, while also raising them off the ground, rendering them immobile. They could usually one-shot any regular infantry troop, and for stronger units, multiple spikes would impale the enemy in quick succession until they were defeated.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

The Dark Peasant is effective against melee troops. There is no way to destroy the Dark Peasant except using specific troops or overwhelming them. If you put the Super Peasant against Dark Peasant in the open alpha, The Dark Peasant will destroy it.

Currently, the only troops known to be effective or able to destroy it are as the following:

* **Ballista** (Open Alpha) - In the Open Alpha, all you needed was one or 2 ballista's, and they would all get the job done! In the Closed Alpha. The Dark Peasant can tank up to 47 Ballista Bolts before being killed. (In the Open Alpha, it only takes 2).
* **M16** (Open Alpha) Able to kill a Dark Peasant in the Open Alpha easily. In the Closed Alpha, The Dark Peasant can fly and is able to take less Knockback, negating the M16's potential.
* **Box Gun** - The Dark Peasant can easily be killed by this method, except it needs to be able to let the Neon Boxer land a hit. Once the Neon Boxer lands a hit, it's all over.
* **Beamer** - Extremely high damaging lasers with high range prove to be effective. You just need a group of Beamers and they should get the job done. About 30 are needed.
* **Tesla** - The Tesla can knock back the Dark Peasant with a large number of them, knocking him off the map, killing them. The cheapest way to kill it. However, the Tesla will still target the Dark Peasant and fall down with it.
* **Super Peasant-**A large number of Super peasants, (6-10 one at the back) Will fly at the Dark Peasant and ram them off the map, thus causing the Dark Peasant to kill itself. The remaining Super Peasant(s) will slowly walk off the edge, but by then the Dark Peasant would most likely be dead.

## Appearance

**(Open Alpha)** The Dark Peasant is much like the common Peasant, but it has two bracelets on both hands, their eyes are black with a reddish hue from the part of the pupil. It also has a reddish black cloud around them and kills the opponents by summoning dark spikes from underground with a reddish neon strip.

**(Closed Alpha)** - The Dark Peasant has two bracelets on its wrists, loses its dark aura around them and has what appears to be two dark orbs floating by its side that radiate dark energy. Acts much like the Super Peasant now but sucks troops in dealing damage similarly to the Gravity Dude.

## Trivia

* The Dark Peasant's icon represents the spike attack it had in the Open Alpha.
