{{Unit |name = Whirling Dervish |image = Whirling Dervish SC2.png |available = Stronghold Crusader 2 |type = |cost = 140 |hp = |damage = |speed = |ability = }} 'Whirling Dervishes are a unit'' in '''[[Stronghold Crusader 2]]''' Whirling Dervishes can only be recruited via the mercenary post for a high price. Being valuable units in at least a small group ... It's better to use them to attack bulks, groups of enemies, rather than single ones, because ... With their ability they can deal splash damage to a whole range of units in a short amount of time. After that, their attack range and damage given drastically decreases, which means it would be suitable to at least cover or defend them with archers, so they can use their ability again after waiting for a while. One of the offensively strongest units in the game, especially when dealing with a large group of moderately armored targets. This is due to their special ability - Area Attack. After issuing an attack order, Dervishes will start whirling (hence their name) with their weapons, inflicting serious damage to every enemy around them. Thanks to this ability they are able to defeat a group of enemies several times stronger than them - provided that the enemies will be close to one another. Another ability of Dervishes is the Sprint attack, the same available to the Macemen. After selecting Dervishes and issuing an attack order, they will begin a short charge at the enemy, during which they have significantly increased movement speed and the first attack after a charge deals additional damage. It works especially well during sieges, when you want to get rid of dangerous enemies (Archers, Crossbowmen), as well as in the defense of your castle - you can send a group of Dervishes, destroy the enemy siege equipment and quickly retreat them behind your walls again. Sprint Attack requires several seconds to be ready again, which is signaled by a 'lightning' icon next to their health bar. One of their drawbacks is their recruitment cost - 140 gold for a single unit is a lot and you won't be able to make a huge group of them, unless you are able to generate insane amounts of gold. Their main flaw is their durability - despite the damage they are able to deal, they are extremely vulnerable to ranged attacks, as well as melee, if the enemy is able to force them to use their area attack before the combat starts.
