After death, the Terracotta Warrior refunds 10 wood and 1 favor (+/- 2 wood due to what appears to be rounding error). In addition, it expels lethal dust upon death dealing 15 pierce damage within 7 meters range, similar to the Lampades, Carcinos, or Scarab.
Similar to Automatons, they are comparatively weak to other myth units but make up for it in low resource and population cost. Their death-based bonuses, combined with their ease of mass-production, make them an ideal pick for "disposable" troops. Their partial cost refund assists in their capability to be replaced and otherwise makes their loss more bearable than other units. Their death dust can be beneficial both for suicide raids and defensive actions, inflicting that extra bit of damage to whoever cuts them down. Even more powerful units and Heroes can fall through personally killing too many Terracotta Warriors, particularly with the Stone Armor upgrade, although Heroes are less strongly affected.
Initially, Terracotta Warriors cost 90 wood, 8 favor, returned 40 wood, 4 favor when slain, and their dust did 10 pierce damage per second. With patch 2.4, they cost 120 wood, 10 favor, return 20 wood, 2 favor when slain, and their dust does 15 pierce damage instantly. As of most recent patch, they return 10 wood, 1 favor when slain.

Soldiers of the Terracotta Army are a formidable force loyal to the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang.

In-game dialogue[]
The Terracotta Warrior speaks like ordinary Chinese infantry, but with a distorted tone and has an additional line unique to it.
Select 1 - 准备就绪 / 準備就緖 - Zhŭn bèi jiù xù ("Move out when ready")
The name of this unit was changed during development from Terracotta Soldier to Terracotta Warrior.
Contrary to how they are portrayed in the game, the real Terracotta Army was painted in life-like colors when they were first made, rather than being left as simple clay.
Although the Terracotta Warrior was cut from Retold, a similar unit, called the Terracotta Rider, was introduced with Immortal Pillars, which can be temporarily summoned in a group from each Town Center for emergency defense.
Stone Armor (Huang Di): 2× ability damage.
