The Trickster Raven is one of the three Big Shot units available in Indian Trading Post. He possesses a large movement range, and has the power to fly over obstacles, making him the fastest unit available. He has an average damage of 47.6 against all other units; see the ITP Damage Chart for the exact numbers.
Even though the Trickster Raven flies to his destination, he is a ground unit not an air unit. Since all attacks on a unit take place when that unit is standing still, he can be hit normally by attacks that cannot hit air units, like that of the Artillery and the Logging Robot's proximity attack.
[edit] Strategies
The Trickster Raven is especially good in Totem Building and other scenarios that require the retrieval of items, due to his long movement range and ability to fly over impassable terrain. Placing him in a central position in anticipation of crown totems spawning towards the end of the rounds is the best way to work towards the difficult totem badges. The use of Giddy Up cards can be particularly effective in allowing him to grab items and fly back rapidly. Use Hustle, Ramblin' and attack bonuses to make him the best.
