It’s certainly one of the more popular combinations currently (8 out of 91 Epics) but Blue/Red is the most popular (10 out of 91).

This legendary troop really made me want to play again. Too bad I spent all my resources before I quit and as such I won’t have any way to get it…

Love the troop though. Seems like something I’d like. I’ve always wanted to play goblin team but it never panned out for me. By the time I had the right cards and them the right level, they were slower than other teams. But an aoe damage goblin that buffs health seems cool.

You can buy gems to use on event keys. Is your only way

Yeah I won’t be spending any money on an overpriced gem bundle, ever. It’s a complete rip off for the value of it considering what you can get in game over time. And nerfing rewards won’t make that more valuable because the amount you need is still the same and for the amount you need the gems are crazy expensive.

You can get event keys for glory as well it is a bundle called the spoils of war in the glory shop.

OMG an Extra Turn exploder…

I gave feedback on these in the spoilers thread… Fizzbang feels like she should deal damage, and with this colour design is too similar to Poison Master… Grapplepot nice spell though I’m not a fan of these non-scaling flat boosts… her third trait seems a missed opportunity though… gaining Life means stalling for defence teams but is of limited value on attack teams… +1 to all stats would be much better… also should trigger on all extra turns, as extra turns on spells is the whole goblin _thing_…

I will disagree on the potential usefulness of Grapplepot’s third trait. Now that the game seems to drop more match-4’s from the sky, a lucky cascade could mean the difference between your Elemaugrim (edit: I need more sleep, more caffeine, or both) surviving a Mab cast or dying to it. I much prefer your idea for when the trait should trigger.

I agree. Should trigger on Extra Turns. I said as much in the spoiler thread, too.

Elemaugrim is a Goblin now? 😄

Also he has Impervious so (when that’s fixed) shouldn’t take Mab damage anyways…

Didn’t say Grapplepot’s trait was _bad_… but to me it feels more annoying on defences than it feels useful on invade teams…

Yeah, we’ll chalk that up to lack of caffeine. The Impervious reference was intentional, at least.

This restriction makes her third trait rather less interesting.

Especially since no Goblins currently get a boost out of health, other than being able to take more damage. Maybe the Mythic Goblin will change this.

Though one synergy is it does give Black Beast fatter goblins to eat if you like those kind of teams. 🤔😜

@sirrian the OP is unclear on how we get Grapplepot… is she in event chests or a glory reward?

Actually got more Queens than Kings…

On a first few games the exploding gobbos are feeling pretty good, almost broken…
