Narawit “Krait” Sornchai

Mercenary Officer

Season - Underworld Protocol is here and Narawit “Krait” Sornchai is at your service. A modern mercenary operator shaped by urban warfare and asymmetric conflicts, Krait brings a specialized approach to ground combat, rewarding players who embrace focused unit compositions over generalist strategies.

Where officers like Chupacabra provide broad, flexible bonuses, Krait represents the next step in tactical evolution: a specialist designed to maximize the potential of specific unit types.

A Specialist Approach to Warfare

Krait is built to introduce players to focused army builds, a core concept for high-level play.

He empowers two often overlooked unit types:

• Mercenaries - transformed into highly cost efficient shock troops
• National Guard - elevated from defensive filler units into surprisingly capable frontline forces

Under Krait’s command, these units can punch far above their weight, allowing for aggressive, low cost strategies that can overwhelm unprepared opponents.

However, this power comes with trade offs:

• Mercenaries remain destructive to morale and population
• Both units still suffer from their inherent weaknesses mainly against air units, artillery, and armor.

Tactical Role

Krait excels when used in dedicated infantry stacks, where his buffs can fully apply.

• Buffs apply only within his stack
• Units lose bonuses if separated
• Only affects:
  • Mercenaries
  • National Guard
  • Krait himself

All other infantry types receive no benefit, reinforcing his role as a specialist rather than a generalist commander.
