Slider

Overview
The Slider is a fast Invader minion. The Slider explodes upon reaching an enemy, and does area damage.

Special Ability
The Slider's special ability is Gland Slam, which causes the Slider's targets to be knocked back.

Gland Slam unlocks at two stars, and has an 8% chance of happening when the Slider explodes. At three stars, it has a 13% chance of happening. At four stars, it has an 18% chance of happening. At five stars, it has a 23% chance of happening.

Strategy
The Slider can be a quick way to put pressure on your opponent, as the slider only costs 100 Mana and is very fast.

The Slider can only target ground enemies, so using air units will be allow you to kill or survive the Slider.

A fast, cheap unit like the Peasant or Zombie will be able to take the explosion (A Peasant costs 25 less Mana than the Slider as well!) Just remember that the Slider deals area damage and will be more effective against large groups.
