It is versatile, being able tofire both large boulders and clusters of smaller rocks. The former caneasily smash through the toughest structures, and can be fired at longrange – though they are somewhat inaccurate when used againstinfantry.

It deals damage in a larger radius and is comparativelymore accurate than the larger stones.Summoned by:AbilitiesLeadership: +20% Attack and +20%Armor to Marksmen of the ThrushThe Warden of Dale is summoned by the Allies From Dale spellbookpower.
