slaker / scout

1In Stick War, the Scout (like Slank or the Royal Scout) is a key messenger unit, revealing ambushes and delivering vital intel, often getting turned into a dead zombie, while the general "scout" role involves using fast units (like archers or special units) for reconnaissance, setting traps, and turning the tide by spotting enemy weaknesses or weaknesses in the new Stick War 3. Scouts use speed to explore, capture points (TF2 context), and exploit gaps before bigger armies clash, sometimes riding mounts or using magic to surprise foes, as seen in campaign missions and YouTube strategy guides.
Key Scout Characters & Roles in Stick War
Slank (The Scout): The main messenger in the campaign, he travels to warn the Order Empire about ambushes (Voltaic, Glacial, Archis), gets a Riptor mount, and eventually becomes a Dead himself, showing the danger of scouting.
Royal Scout: Similar to Slank but with blue hat/red feather; he warns about the Endless Deads but succumbs to them, turning into a Dead unit.
"Unknown Scout": A variant with different colors, highlighting different factions or secret roles.

General Scouting Strategies
Information Gathering: Send scouts to map areas, find resources, and identify enemy positions, like the monster truck scouting hills in.
Distraction & Raids: Use fast scout-like units (archers) to raid the enemy base while your main army holds, or distract enemies to prevent them from attacking effectively.
Trap Setting: Scouts can trigger traps or set them up, using speed to their advantage before major battles.
Objective Focus (TF2 context): In Team Fortress 2, the Scout class excels at capturing points and pushing carts due to high speed, though with low health.
