{{spoiler}} '''Krumr''' is legendary [[Varl]] Hero character appearing in ''The Banner Saga'' games. __NOTOC__ {{UnitSP | class = Warleader | type = Melee | promoted = yes | portrait = warleader_v0.icon.versus.png | armormin = 11 | armormax = 13 | strengthmin = 13 | strengthmax = 17 | willpowermin = 4 | willpowermax = 9 | exertionmin = 1 | exertionmax = 3 | breakmin = 2 | breakmax = 4 | baserank = 1 | freepoints = 0 | movement = 4 | attack = 1 | active = Forge Ahead | passive = Heavy Impact }} ==Background== "...might tell you about the time we filled a dead yox with whale teeth. And why.". There are not many [[Varl]] older than Krumr, and not many have had as much experience fighting the [[Dredge]]. In [[Wyrmtoe]], eager fighters would regularly come to him to learn his secrets. {| style="float: left" |[[File:forgeahead_icon.png]] |} ==Active Ability: Forge Ahead== [[File:Warleader_ForgeAhead.png|thumb|400px|Forging Ahead the [[Warhawk]] who acted before the Warleader.]] The Warleader uses his experience in battle to issue commands to allies, moving a single ally next in line in [[initiative]]. As with any active ability, Forge Ahead terminates the Warleader's turn. By re-positioning his allies' [[initiative|turn order]], the Warleader can create new strategies such as giving [[Archer]]s guerilla tactics, triggering abilities earlier than usual or sling-shotting a powerful ally to the back lines. His ability is unique in being neither offensive nor defensive, in a direct manner. '''Rank 1:''' Command an adjacent ally '''Rank 2:''' Command an ally up to 4 tiles (3 spaces) away '''Rank 3:''' Command an ally at any range <u>Note: </u> In the [[Survival Mode]] of the second part of ''The Banner Saga'', which uses an alternative ''Pillage Mode-locked'' turn order, Forge Ahead results in an immediate turn for your ally unit! {| style="float:left;" | [[File:secondabilitygeneric_icon.png|60px]] |} ==Second Active Ability: Choice== In the second part of ''The Banner Saga'', when Krumr reaches [[Rank]] 6, he can choose a second active ability between: *[[File:Tempest_icon.png|40px]] [[Tempest]] (Warhawk), like [[Gunnulf]], [[Bersi]] or [[Sigbjorn]] *[[File:Sunderingimpact_icon.png|40px]] [[Sundering Impact]] (Warmaster), like [[Hakon]] {| style="float: left" |[[File:heavyimpact icon.png]] |} ==Passive Ability: Heavy Impact== The Warrior hits so hard that any enemies standing adjacent to his target on a [[strength]] attack take 1 strength damage from the shockwave. Hitting a large target like a [[Varl]] or [[Dredge]] who takes up four tiles can potentially cause an impact across many more victims than hitting a single-square target such as a human. ==Joining the Party== * '''Saga 1:''' Krumr will join [[Rook]]'s caravan after their arrival in [[Wyrmtoe]] during [[The Banner Saga: Part 1#Chapter 4|Chapter 4]]. He is also available in [[The Banner Saga: Part 1#Chapter 5|Chapter 5]] and, depending on the player choices, he can follow the caravan all the way to the end. * '''Saga 2:''' If still alive, Krumr will be available in the Skogr caravan during [[Chapter 8]] but will then move over to the [[Ravens]] caravan. *'''Saga 3:''' If alive, he will be available as a member of Iver's party from Chapter 17. ==Possible Deaths or Departures== '''Saga 1:''' * Krumr will depart if [[Rook]] does not remain to defend the bridge during the siege of [[Einartoft]] in [[The Banner Saga: Part 1#Chapter 5|Chapter 5]]. His fate is unknown, but he probably dies defending the city. * If Krumr is in the caravan after the flight from Einartoft, he will depart with a few [[Varl]] to distract the [[Dredge]]. However, his departure is temporary and he will return victorious shortly afterwards. * In [[The Banner Saga: Part 1#Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], the defense of the city of [[Boersgard]] can be given to Krumr. If not supported, he may die during the Dredge invasion. '''Saga 2:''' * During [[Chapter 13]] a small Varl force bearing the [[Einartoft]] banner is spotted by the Ravens, being attacked by Dredge. Even if Bolverk refuses to assist them, Krumr will take off to their rescue, promptly returning victorious with [[Fasolt]] and [[Kvig]]. * Some point later in [[Chapter 13]], near the end of the death march, he leaves if you refuse to give him fighters to assail the Dredge vanguard. His fate is unknown, presumed dead. '''Saga 3:''' * If you lost against Bolverk in the previous game, Krumr will die in Chapter 21 while trying to distract [[Bellower]] who is revealed to be chasing after Iver's party, giving them enough time to outsprint the Sundr. * If you lose against Bolverk during the final battle in Chapter 21, all the Ravens are killed at the hands of their former leader. ==Playstyle== * Krumr starts with high [[stats]] and he is quite versatile. He can be used either as a [[Break]]er or as a typical high [[Strength]] damager. * Promoting him to Rank-3 is suggested in order to make use of the higher range that Rank-2 Forge Ahead offers. * His active ability has the unique property of changing the turn-order of your units. It can be used to give the ally that acted just before the Warleader another turn before the enemies have time to re-act. This is useful if a character is found in a position to cause large damage or when he is exposed to danger. Typical 'combos' include Forging Ahead [[Archer]]s (Break, then Puncture), [[Warrior]]s (hit, then hit again) or [[Eyvind|Menders]] (two Arc Lightnings). * Forging Ahead a unit that acted before the Warleader while in ''Pillage Mode'' results in one extra turn for the player team. This is extremely useful in the [[Survival Mode]] of the second part of ''The Banner Saga''. ==Trivia== * Krumr is one of three oldest [[Varl]], the other two being [[Ubin]] and [[Snorri]]. In fact, he will engage an argument with Ubin about that precedence during Chapter 6. * He is notorious for the strange anecdotal stories that he never fully narrates -- ''"...might tell you about the time we filled a dead yox with whale teeth. And why."''. * His name is loosely related to "stiff and crooked in the fingers because of cold," or "bent over, hunched."
