Ranged attack

Ranged attack is a talent that allows a unit to attack without moving forward. As a consequence, attacks from units with this talent are not considered as melee attacks.

This is especially useful against units with the Spiky talent which doesn't apply to Ranged attacks. But it also makes units unaffected from other abilities that apply only to melee units.

In-game description
This unit does not take damage from attacking Spiky units.
