🧪 Early Information on the December 2019 HOTM (Grimble)

i like the idea of this hero, it is always good when they create especialists niche heroes, it brings versatility and variety to the game. Not every hero has to be an “all-arounder” or a fast sniper

There are more and more heroes who have minions and more of them coming. So the “niche” is no longer situational / occasional, but almost usual. I believe this hero arrives at a good time. His tank stats make him resilient to the proposed goal. I would just like your damage to be 260% to 270%. This would make it useful even where there are no minion generators.

I agree, the minion killer is unlikely to be in the center, better around the edges of it

Original (Russian)

Согласен, убийца миньонов врядли должен стоять в центре, лучше по краям от него

Yeah the animal looks like a goat, it’s got a beard. And Grimble himself looks like a dwarf but considering his SS is “Gnomish Carnage”, he could be a gnome as well.

I think it’s a Gnome on a goat, GG if you will. :grin:

He is pretty specialized, but I wouldn’t feed him to another if I managed to pull him during the Christmas event.

It also appears to have goat shaped pupils.

It would be slightly funny since goats are stereotyped as eating anything.

The artist could probably use a lesson on goat anatomy. :thinking:

I want him just because of his image and special name. I don’t even care if he is any good.

A goat? I like it already!

P.S. I’m single, you know… :rofl:

I think it’s coincidental that he is being released during Decemeber. All the Christmas event heroes are minion based. So you either get them or get the HOTM to counter them. :rofl:

Why not use him as a flank to a tanky yellow hero? May be even use ursena on the other flank, and if the tank is guin, Seshat stands no chance with her minions.

On first glance he seems rather poor, but I think he will be worth it for the memes.

How much is the mana gain, exactly?

Not pull worthy but I’ll def level him to 3.70 just to upgrade my map farming team. Purple did need an all hitter (Mok-Arr doesn’t in my books lol).

Doesn’t seem to be a good idea. Despite his stats, Grimble is purely offensive hero. You would use him against heroes with minions but in defense you can’t choose your opponent so his skill will be wasted most of the time. And you need a good timing to use him after minions are summoned, not before. And his damage isn’t impressive.

The main advantage Seshat provides against Guin is her resistance to mana cut, not the minions.

agreed, also the fact that she dispels Guins buffs immediately after she fires.

Besides that, not everyone uses Seshat or to a lesser extent Red Hood to fight Guinevere, as not everyone has those heroes.

Beta Update

Grimble has received a rebalancing update, increasing the amount of mana received per each Minion killed.

Based on clever testing by @Wharflord, it appears that the original mana received per minion was around 0.12 of a tile, and is now around 0.80 of a tile. Please remember that these numbers are not exact, and are likely to change.
