Native American Skirmisher that can stun enemy units at a distance with his war cry.
—In-game description

The Lenape Warrior is a ranged infantry native warrior in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition that can be trained at a Trading Post or Tambo built on a Lenape settlement.

Overview[]

The Haudenosaunee and Canada are the only civilizations that have consistent access to them through their Home City, as Lenape settlements will only occasionally appear on Unknown maps.

The Lenape Warrior is a Skirmisher with higher hit points and damage, making them a great, population-free complement to the army. The Lenape Warrior additionally features a War Cry special ability which can briefly stun an enemy at range.

Featuring all the tags from the base Skirmisher unit, the Lenape Warrior will benefit from Arsenal upgrades and most cards that boost Skirmishers.

Special ability[]

  • War Cry (automatically activated when attacking with a cooldown of 40 seconds): A war cry that can temporarily stun enemy units at a distance, which deals 30 damage, stuns the target for 2 seconds, and has a maximum range of 14.

History[]

The Lenape, also known as the Leni Lenape, Lenni Lenape, and Delaware people, were one of the First Nations who allied with the British during the War of 1812. Lenape warriors fought throughout the duration of the war, and participated in the Capture of Fort Detroit, the Battle of Queenston Heights, the Battle of Fort George, the Battle of the Thames, the Battle of Longwoods, the First Battle of Fort Erie, the Battle of Chippawa, the Battle of Lundy's Lane, the Siege of Fort Erie, and the Battle of the Niagara.

Trivia[]

  • In-game descriptions originally incorrectly referred to the Lenape Warrior as a Musketeer and as Heavy Infantry despite having Skirmisher stats and tags. The unit's design role was likely changed during development. The descriptions have since been updated to the correct role.
  • There is a known bug that the Lenape Warrior is not affected by the Blood Brothers Home City Card. They keep their Elite stats when the shipment arrives.
