Goblin Sapper

Goblin Sappers, formerly named Goblin Zappers, are Goblins armed with grenades, which only appear in the elite stage, Ruins of Acaroth.

OverviewEdit

Hardened and fearless goblins that run into battle tossing bombs at their enemies.

Goblin Sappers are essentially more powerful Shadow Archers. They throw a bomb that deals physical area damage. Similar to all other ranged enemies, they force the player to do some annoying micromanagement with moving rally points, or the soldiers will sit there and gladly get blasted into pieces. However, just like their mundane counterparts, Goblin Sappers lack durability and can be killed easily.

When a Goblin Sapper dies, their backpack full of bombs explodes, dealing 50-150 physical damage in a small radius.

StrategyEdit

• Like all other ranged enemies, Goblin Sappers tend to get cluttered together to throw grenades at the same soldier; therefore, a Big Bertha is a good way to quickly get rid of them. Also, on this note, Paladins with fully upgraded Healing Light, and optionally Shield of Valor, can be useful as a distraction. The Tesla is also a good way to kill Sappers, as the Overcharge upgrade will deal damage to all nearby Sappers.
