Worker is by far the most important class in Fat Princess. Without them, we wouldn't have catapults, ladders to bombard the enemy, bombs of all sizes, leveled up classes, or even doors to protect enemies from walking into our base! Stealing the princess would be such an easy task, but the worker changes the playing field. Workers don't just run around cutting trees and mining ore, they are also quite offensive. The bombs they get are quite deadly, and should not be underestimated! Here is my guide to playing the worker and how they effect the game.

Helping the Team: If you picked up the worker hat, then you are probably hoping to fetch a lot of resources for your team so they can level-up as quick as possible. Also, once you are done leveling up your classes, the catapult is a necessity to winning many of the game modes.

Basic Attacks: The worker's axe can be a dangerous weapon, but its main purpose is to chop down and supply the resources. Mining ore and chopping trees are the things workers do to help their team. In team deathmatch, a basic worker should not be fighting in the battles. They should be collecting resources and building ladders or bridges to make traversing the terrain much easier. The only battles a basic worker should experience are ones against enemy workers trying to steal your ore.

Upgraded Attacks: When you have acquired 3 logs and 3 ores, go upgrade worker. Only workers can upgrade the classes, so don't be shy. Once worker is upgraded, you will receive small bombs which can be charged to impale enemies offensively. Once you have upgraded worker, you can now participate in full fledged battles. Bombarding a crowded bridge or outpost is a great addition for your team. Also, workers get a thrown item to use in battle. The Giantbomb, can be used to break down walls, enemy gates, or even wipe out the enemy team. It is a good defensive weapon when you are trying to protect your base or princess. You can take these bombs onto the catapult with you and throw it in the enemy base if you like. Some bases can be destroyed using these bombs. If placed in certain spots of crumbling rock on some maps, it can slowly break away the foundation of the castle and make an entrance for all of your team to use. These bombs are very good on offense when bombarding the enemy castle. It can break down the entrance gates fairly easy.
When it comes to helping the team, whether it is with supplies or even offensively, the worker has it all. Upgrading the worker is very important because they improve heavily. Worker will help your team in so many ways, and they should never be underestimated.
