| The Dog Soldier is an offensive powerhouse. In addition to a powerful basic attack, he gets an additional smaller attack on every immediately adjacent enemy on every tick. To demonstrate his bravery, he stakes himself into the ground which prevents him from being pushed out of position by the Buffalo Rider or Dream Catcher. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Dog Soldier is a powerful melee unit in his own right, but he also deals seven damage to adjacent enemy ground units every tick. He is also immune to the Dream Catcher's tick-reset ability.
The Dog Soldier can be unlocked either by killing 10 human-controlled enemy units with a single unit in one round, without that unit dying, or by buying the Tomahawk at the Indian Trading Post general store.
[edit] Strategy
Although the dog soldier has a weak defense against many units and cannot attack air units, he can be extremely useful. Place him next to a Totem Base and let him attack enemy pieces every turn, or Place him on a glyph in Wendigo Attack and let him weaken enemies whilst they are avoiding the Wendigo. The Dog Soldier's ability also makes him a boon on maps that bunch players' units together in narrow spaces, allowing for a large amount of collateral damage.
[edit] Historical Notes
Prior to the March 6th release, the Dog Soldier dealt five damage every tick to adjacent units, instead of seven.
