Climbing trait: unlock, raid use and counters
Short answer
With Climbing equipped, your raiders scale barricades, so walls hold them only half as long. It unlocks at Binding Pit level 2.
What it does
Climbing changes how long a barricade holds your raid: climbers get over the wall with only part of its health to break.
It does nothing against road gates or towers, so it's for villages that lean on barricades.
Good at
- Villages that rely on barricades

- Towers covering the road
Tips
- Check the target's fence before you raid. No barricades means Climbing is wasted.
- Climbing plus Brutes breaks barricaded villages that look safe on paper.
