> [@Rickygervais](#): > > Wait if he got 100 att it’s 100% devour? That’s exactly how that reads. For 24 mana, that puts Doomclaw to shame. And since his devour chances are tied to attack, it’s buffable/debuffable. But, in any decently leveled delve/raid/invasion/whatever, its attack is going to be at least 100 which makes it a guaranteed devour to anything that isn’t immune to that status effect. ---

Well at 100% he’s basically a Great Maw with a more consistent chance of extraturns and no mana generation as a tradeoff. And you will not be anywhere close to 100% without some serious buffgame, so i’d look at him as an actual worse Great Maw outside of delves, pretty dissapointing for a mythic imho. ---

And you will not be anywhere close to 100% without some serious buffgame, so i’d look at him as an actual worse Great Maw outside of delves. Devil’s advocating here, Yes, you are correct. But, unlike Maw, his spell is not a One-Shot Spell. And these days, 24 mana, especially on a tri-color mythic, is not hard to come by at all. Even if he can’t devour everyone, if it picks off one or two units, it’s now a force to be reckoned with from sheer attack rating alone. I’m sure plenty of teams will form around him. ---

Fair point regarding Delves, multiple devours starting at 100% chance will be great. However i don’t think the troop will be so great in pvp/GW, considering that for its devour you’d need buffing up beforehand _(or roll the dice, in which case you already have cheaper troops at your disposal to do that)_ significantly increasing your windup time for the devour and more than one devour isn’t really needed there either, so i’d still rate this troop below Maw in those modes. Anyway i probably overestimate those modes’ importance, with the game’s focus shifting more and more, an outdated mindset so to speak. ---

You’re not wrong. In standard PvP/GW, the mythic goblin is still critically vulnerable to the same issues that all the other goblins suffer. He has no resistances and no ailment immunities. As you mention, time is also a key issue. Time that can likely be invested in other units for better returns on investment. If the mythic goblin casts and misses on the opening devour, then the match is probably going to be lost, which is a rather unpalatable risk to gamble on. But, as you said in your last sentence (which I wholeheartedly agree with), several of the recent mythics are likely balanced around PvE modes more so than PvP modes. ---
