šŸ‘ŗ Rocket - 5* Fire / Red from Goblin Village

Just try the fiends in battle before saying he sucks. They have quite good base attack to do a lot of damage every turnā€¦ The burn damage are just a thing in plus.

How many of you have seen him in action ?

330 perma defencebdownbat that speed!?!?
Not forgetting the damage over time that is insane?
This guy is OP and you will see him in top tier players for sure.

But only to one hero. If mana speed was VF then yes OP for sure. I think to be OP at fast, it needs to affect target and nearby.

Wait until the wither counters come, probably next month

Eventually, like all things, the growth/whither mechanic will be blockable and dispellable

Maybe, maybe not. They have yet to fix/amend g. Hippoā€™s ability to bypass literally everything. There are a ton of heroes that can now do that as well, one of which is a goblin (Darkfeather).

Umm definitely check the passive šŸ§Ŗ Early Information on New Garrison Guard Heroes [Part of The Beta Beat v66]

Wow, that is absolute :ox: :poop:! So insanity will reign supreme with not counter. Cool!

Counters already exists. They are within the Goblins themselves. Use growth after you have wither ailments. Use wither on enemies if they have growth setup. It is just that not straightforward and easy to use in real fights.

Donā€™t forget that when using 5* troop for rocket, that his fire damage is higher than his base stats! :+1:t4::muscle:t4:

But they need to fix it! every healer cleanse the fiendsā€¦ crap :frowning: and only to one target is a little bit sad for a new goblin

After another batch of test I can tell that a balance topic for this one is still needed. Even in attack his fiends donā€™t detonate easily. You need a healer with no cleanse that is finally not a common case. Kehpri from season 5 and barckley from mighty pets do their job better. Rocket needs witer to three and a three turn detonater to be efficient.

Horrible hero, difficult to obtain, but in the end he achieves this, for my part this is the worst hero of the Goblins.

I honestly think most people are underestimating him big time. I watched a test drive on YouTube by predator and rocket is just NASTY on attack. Fast forward to minute 6:00, here is the link:

400-500 Fiend Damage per turn for as long as the fiend is there. And as a fast hero there is a big chance he will be able to add multiple fiends through ghosting tiles.

750+ DOT damage for three turns

You pair Rocket with a hero like Meg Giry or a hero that prevents status ailments from being cleansed and the defense team is F*%^d.

I just used him in the last war on offense and he shredded their team. Was very impressed. More tests may prove me wrong but I believe he is horribly underestimated especially at fast

Couldnā€™t agree more with you buddy. Not to mention he will be the King of Bloody Battle for a looooooong time.

Burn damage with 5* troops. Was for testing. Thats the reason i maxed him. but i hope they can fix him.

2133 burn damage on 3 turns and he is fastā€¦ And on this topic some people are crying and asking for a buff on this goblinā€¦ And I donā€™t speak about the damage dealt by the fiends after each turnā€¦ Lol

He just needs witer to 3 and a detonator and itā€™s fine. You canā€™t really count on the fire damage they are not guaranteed.

Holy mother of God!!! Iā€™m just getting him to a fast track leveling plan! And yesss. Bomb exploding after 3 turns like Cookie would be awesome! That way I do t have to only choose to use him against a team that has a healerā€¦. I tried him vs a team with no healer and the fire damage doesnā€™t trigger which makes him pretty underwhelming.

Thatā€™s the main point Iā€™m talking about since he came out. As an owner he just brings fiends damage 75% of the time. Itā€™s not easy to just find a team with a strait healer. So that makes him situational. A balance topic is hury needed.
