Troll (Youngblood)

A Troll in Youngblood, a cooperative first-person shooter game developed by MachineGames and Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks, refers specifically to one of two types of heavily armored, elite enemy soldiers encountered within the game's occupied Paris setting. These Trolls, along with the similarly designated Commanders, represent some of the most challenging non-boss combatants players face.

The designation "Troll" applies to both the Zerstörer and the Hammerhund. These enemies are distinguished by their significant health pools, heavy armor plating, and devastating weaponry. Players must employ strategic teamwork and utilize appropriate weapon types and upgrades to effectively overcome them.

Zerstörer Trolls typically wield heavy machine guns or flamethrowers, focusing on direct, sustained attacks. Their armor makes them resistant to standard small arms fire, necessitating the use of armor-piercing rounds or explosives.

Hammerhund Trolls, on the other hand, often utilize powerful melee attacks and deploy shockwave-inducing ground slams. Their close-quarters combat style requires players to maintain distance and utilize tactical movement.

Defeating Trolls often yields valuable resources, including ammunition, health, and armor, as well as potentially dropping unique weapon modifications or upgrade materials. They are a significant threat throughout the game and necessitate careful planning and execution to overcome.
