Rage

A cluster of raged swords attacking a Chaos army.

Rage is a Swordwrath's only ability. Researching it costs 50 gold and 50 mana. It takes 60 seconds to research.

When activated, a Swordwrath will lose some of their health, glow red and have their movement speed and attack rate greatly increased, which is the equivalent to increased damage. The Swordwrath will also let out a war cry to audibly indicate its usage to both you and the enemy (if the screen is close enough). A Swordwrath cannot use Rage if it's health is too low. A group of Swordwraths using rage is ideal for chasing a retreating enemy. A large group of Swordwraths can easily raze through a group of units. Rage can also be used to retreat as well, using its speed boost to run away.

Swords are often used in tandem with archers for early game skirmishes.

Trivia

Swordwraths don't have any helmets they can wear in the armory. The reason for this is because there is two standing animations for the swordwrath and it would take too much time to animate each helmet twice.

• Swordwraths have been buffed in the past by reducing their cost from 150 gold to the current 125 gold.
• Rage has been nerfed in a previous patch to cost more health.
• Swordwraths have many different swords available in the Armoury, such as Katanas, Longswords, Claymores and Chainsaws. However, despite all these swords have different styles of use the Swordwrath will use the same attack animations and still do the same amount of damage.
• Rage openings has been less used ever since the Rage nerf and when the archer meta was more developed.
• In Stick War 1, Swordwraths used to wield different types of swords which had different damage.
• If You/enemy attacks with a Horde of Swordwraths, (over 40 Swordwraths) they can beat big armies. A horde of Swordwraths can be destroyed in seconds using Shield Wall ability and Electric Wall. It will kill all the Swordwraths in seconds. So dont try to use this strategy if the opponent knows how to defeat the horde.
• In patch 2.28, helmets were now available in the armory for the Swordwraths.
