🧪 Early Information on New Garrison Guard Heroes [Part of The Beta Beat v66]

NOTE: Please do not, under any circumstances, share IMAGES OR VIDEOS from Beta in this or any public Forum thread. Violations can cause players to lose their Beta accounts, or threads to be closed down.

This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the initial release of the new Goblin Heroes.


Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.

They aren’t from the Goblin family indeed but… Why does it matter? They still need to be summoned from the same summon gate :thinking:

I didn’t read that part. But anyways, the only way to combat goblins was with goblins.

180 seems abit too much?

Balance is out of the window now anyway. Heroes and specials will continue to get more and more ridiculous until the point that every new hero will either oneshot a whole team, or make a team literally unkillable

Wonderful! Game needs new heroes!

I’m still expecting LB3 this year though, just after they graciously introduce the alpha aether quest so that F2P don’t fall too far back behind.
