The fourth campaign chapter introduces packs that become more dangerous when they fight together. Chickens attack faster when other chickens are close. Nearby allied hits can build Fresh Meat stacks for the Flying Maw, and the Werewolf's howl strengthens nearby members of the pack. The Dwarf Defender shields allies standing directly behind it.
How They Fight
Pack hits Several chickens close in and land repeated hits.
Fresh Meat The Flying Maw gains stacks when nearby pack members land hits.- Pounce With at least three stacks, the Flying Maw can pounce and spend its stacks on a stronger hit.
On a raid. Keep moving so the pack has fewer chances to land repeated hits. If a Werewolf starts preparing its howl, deal damage during the wind-up to interrupt it.
In your dungeon. Keep a Flying Maw near a small group of chickens so it can follow up on their hits. Place a Dwarf Defender with allies directly behind it, facing the direction from which heroes usually enter.
Monsters
Chicken
Common · Physical · 1 capacity · First seen in 4-1 · Blueprint from 4-1
Its pecks come faster when other chickens are nearby. Clear the group before it surrounds you, or pull away before its hits power up a Flying Maw.
Flying Maw
Common · Physical · 8 capacity · First seen in 4-2 · Blueprint from 4-2
Gains up to five Fresh Meat stacks from nearby allied hits. At three stacks it can leap onto a hero from farther away, spending those stacks to increase the hit. Watch for the leap even after you've put some distance between you and the pack.
Werewolf
Elite · Physical · 20 capacity · First seen in 4-4 · Blueprint from 4-4
Speeds up as it lands consecutive hits. Its howl alerts monsters farther away and boosts nearby pack members' damage and attack speed. A damaging hit during the howl's preparation interrupts it.
Dwarf Defender
Elite · Physical · 24 capacity · First seen in 4-6 · Blueprint from 4-6
Raises a shield that blocks frontal projectiles and protects allies directly behind it. When the shield goes up, move around its side to get a clear shot at the monsters it covers.
Golden Chicken
Common · Physical · 1 capacity · First seen in 4-10 · Season reward
Fights alongside regular chickens and gains attack speed when other chickens are nearby. Its hits can also power up a Flying Maw. Give the flock room when it rushes you.
