The Petard is a unit from Age of Empires II: The Conquerors.

Bio[edit | edit source]

A petard is a dangerously explosive gunpowder device designed to blow up walls, gates, or any other structures that stand in the way of military conquest. Carried to the site of its hopeful detonation by designated Petárdiers, the petard would blow a proverbial hole into the enemy defense and allow the attackers to enter a fortified area without having to rely on more antiquated means like ladders, rams, or other siege weaponry.

In Age of Empires II, the petard is a unit trained at the castle. It deals a considerable amount of damage to enemy structures (such as walls and castles), but its suicide attack and the relatively high cost of training it means petards generally see very limited use in actual gameplay.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

As with most other fighters who debuted in the first season of 8chanmania, it is unknown where and when the Petard originally debuted.

His first recorded appearance was during 8chanmania XVIII, where the Petard was royally ravaged by King Harlaus

He would later team up with the Wololo Monk for 8chanmania XX. The two did not make it past the preliminaries, as the Monk incurred a rare ringout in their initial fight against the Nord Huscarl and the Sarranid Mamluk.


Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The Petard's name comes from the Middle French "péter", meaning, "to break wind".
  • The Petard effectively is the trainable version of the Saboteur, a hero unit from the non-expansion Aoe II which sported a much higher attack.
