—Arkantos's first encounter with a Wadjet |
The Wadjet is an Egyptian Classical Age myth unit granted to followers of Ptah. It resembles a giant cobra with bat-like wings.
Special ability
Regenerate at 1 HP per second.
Attack bonuses
- Myth units ×3
- Heroes ×0.25
Strategy
Wadjets attack their foes by spitting poisonous spray at them, dealing high pierce damage. They make excellent support units in the Classical Age, especially when used defensively, but are vulnerable in melee situations. They are usually outclassed by stronger myth units in later Ages, though Wadjets slowly regenerate hit points over time. As with most ranged myth units, they are very weak against heroes. Doing no hack or crush damage, they are also abysmal against buildings.
Changelog
Age of Mythology
- Wadjets have 240 hit points, 20 hack armor, and 30 pierce armor.
The Titans
- With patch 1.02, Wadjets have 260 hit points, 25 hack armor, and 25 pierce armor.
Trivia
- The goddess Wadjet isn't always depicted with wings, but when she is, she has brightly colored bird-like wings instead of the bat-like wings used by the Wadjet in-game.
- Wadjet has a spectacle pattern on her hood in the game, which is strange considering that's a trait of Indian cobras, a species of cobra that is not native to Egypt.
