The newest update of Boom Beach has given users a new resource in their quest to prove their strategic abilities. There is a new option for troops, the Grenadiers. Grenadiers throw grenades that cause a lot of damage, but they do throw rather inaccurately. Their throws are very long (even tending to be longer than as aimed), but you cannot rely that the grenades will land where you want them to. Grenadiers can also harm their own troops. Despite these negatives, Grenadiers are sure to come in handy. They can be unlocked at level 16 HQ.
How to Use Grenadier Troops
Offensive strategy:
- You should be careful when using Grenadiers, as they can harm your troops. You probably shouldn’t use them with Warriors, as you could end up killing the Warriors with the grenades.
- Grenadiers make a good offense against Boom Cannons, Flamethrowers, Machine Guns and Sniper Towers — they don’t have to get very close to attack them.
- Grenadiers and Medics make a good team: Medics can fix any damage that the Grenadiers cause accidentally.
Defensive strategy:
- Place Mines in front of Sniper Towers to allow the Snipers a chance to pick off the Grenadiers as they approach.
- If you use Boom Cannons and Rocket Launchers carefully, you’ll be able to pick off the Grenadiers. Only one shot can kill them.
- Because Grenadiers can cause residual damage where they did not aim, you should not group buildings together.
The update also made Boom Beach’s interface better, added levels and animation and upgraded a lot of buildings in the game. We’re stil sure that the Grenadiers will be the most exciting part of the new update!
