"Years in the jungle have had a pronounced effect on Dr. Kavan. He now uses natural oils to groom his moustache."
Summary
Dr. Kavan is a Hero who supports troops in battle using his abilities.
To unlock him, you must beat Hammerman's HQ level 25, which is unlocked at Level 7 Radar.
In Combat, Dr. Kavan behaves like Medics, healing troops in his small area of effect but is unable to defend himself.
As a Hero, he does not require time or Gold to train. If he is defeated in battle, he will reappear in the Hero Hut after the battle, fully healed and ready to fight again.
His Hero Perk is Galvanizing Presence, which slightly reduces incoming damage of troops he heals for a short period of time.
It should be noted that troop damage magma statues decrease the effectiveness of Galvanizing Presence. The percentages gained from the boost is instead subtracted from the passive.
Hero Abilities
Similar to Gunboat Weaponry, Hero Abilities can be used during battle at the cost of Gunboat energy. Your hero can only have one ability active in a battle. The ability can be fired more than once, but the energy cost increases each time. The following are the three abilities available to Dr. Kavan. Click one to read more about it.
As a support type hero, Dr. Kavan is arguably the most versatile. He is essentially a stronger Medic, and works well in strategies that already include them.
Most upgrades increase Dr. Kavan's hitpoints by 6%, heal per second by 4%, and damage reduction percentage point by 0.3%. The level 19 stats increase considerably from level 18.
