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.

:tophat: Goblin Heroes

There are a total of three (8) new heroes added to Beta for testing; these have been indicated to be for a new Goblin Event.

*The names of the new heroes are:
Legendary: Boom & Fang, Darkfeather, Deadboot, Kettle, Madhammerm, Smarttongue
Epic: Goldie
Rare: Boots

:hugs: Family Bonus

Goblin family:

Heroes become stronger when teamed with other unique Heroes of the same family.

Bonus for 1 / 2 / 3 Heroes:

  • Each time this Hero takes damage from the enemy’s Special Skill, removes 30% / 60% / 100% boosted health from all enemies.

Mega Minion

This is a new Mechanic.

  • A Hero can only have one Mega Minion at a time
  • All existing Minions and Fiends are replaced when a Mega Minion is summoned
  • Mega Minions cannot be replaced by Minion or Fiend summons
  • Mega Minions are not affected by effects that destroy or otherwise affect Minions

Wither and Growth

These are new Mechanics.

  • Wither: Lowers defense and/or attack for the duration of the battle
  • Growth: Increases defense and/or attack for the duration of the battle

These modifications have these properties (shown if you click on ? in the skill):

  • Modified Ability Scores remain even if the character is defeated.
  • Modfied Ability Scores can’t be removed with dispels or cleanses.
  • Additional Wither and Growth effects modify the Ability Scores further.
  • Ability Scores can be increased to a maximum of 170% of their original value.
  • Ability Scores can’t be reduced to lower than 30% of their original value.
  • Other buffs and debuffs are applied on modified Ability Scores.

hahahaha - this is ridiculous :sweat_smile:

if you want to get out of the laohou/chinese new year trap just give new minions effect of not being affected by those “silence” minion effect
SG at its finest :heart_eyes:

hopefully next gen chinese heroes will get effect of bypassing effect of not being affected

“That guy” in Goblin Balloon isn’t from the Goblin family!?

That’s Zocc! He’s probably just looking after it.

This is seems rather overwhelming. More new mechanics. Mega minions. More power creep. But it always does.

Fiends felt game-changing. Tellygate felt game-changing.

These heros will cause outrage.

The top spenders will feel it the most.

SG will compensate somewhere.

We’ll continue.

The game will implode at some point.

The next Chinese heroes will also affect Mega Minions. And then a new family with Giga Minions will be released. And then the next batch of Chinese heroes will also affect Giga minions. And then …

I’m guessing this should be 457 :smiley: ( otherwise :scream: )

But 458 and 478 is also plausible. 578 too.

Err, all of those seem stupidly overpowered. Which means SG will release them as is (or even stronger).

What portal will these hero’s be in so I know what coins to stack up on

11

I’ve based my guess on Power: 486

But I agree that it could be 458.

Just read Boom and Fang and we can see just how ridiculous the heroes of have gotten. First of all, a bulky mega minion, that takes 50% less damage for 4 turns, and 100% counterattack. With mega minions can only be defeated by being attacked, and immunity to heroes like Gefjon. In rush, this skill would a pain to deal with.

For Darkfeather, is it possible for 16 attacks in a single turn?

Oh great. Now not only do we have a Goblin Balloon interfering with duck hunting but now will have these Goblin Heroes interfering with hero hunting (raids).

What next, Mega Fiends?

So, when the Black Boar Mega Minion attacks my Devana or Vela (both immune to status effects from minions), they still lose the ability to have other status effects cleansed, because the Black Boar Mega Minion can bypass their passive?

What about skills that “remove” effects, even undispellable ones? I’m assuming remove isn’t effective either, since SGG only knows how to release more and more god-tier heroes, but I thought I’d ask. We all knew this day was coming as soon as SGG came up with this crap about “removing” uncleansable ailments like Onatel’s mana steal.

At long last a new Very Slow hero to finally relieve saturation pressure in Rush.

Wouldn’t ya know it…
It’s another Dark hero…
:face_vomiting:

Hippo maybe better tho
Looks like we’re still stuck with Alfrike from S3
Not sure how this 50% proc will play out
If it plays out like dodge and revive do, then only 1 ally will do nothing after every skill.
In which case, gg

I don’t quite understand the mega minion mechanic. Can someone in beta please check the counters that are presently available for this mechanic? For eg, can the mega minions be stolen by Gefjon or prevented by Bera? Thank you
