| Goblin clans fractured over the advent of steel exoskeletons long ago, prompting an experimental arms race for goblin hegemony. Some volunteered to join forces with other species, an alliance that has enabled capturing and taming wyverns. From uptop their majestic dragon-like mounts, these goblins swiftly soar about and skewer those who intrude upon their allies' domain. |
Useful Info
Goblin riders are fast mounted opponents which ride wyverns and attack you with Polearms. They are impossible to escape on foot and hit hard, making them surprisingly deadly opponents. They are most commonly found in baileys and can also appear in a few Dungeon vaults.
When a goblin rider is damaged below 50% HP, there's a 100% - (2 * current_hp%) chance that you kill either the goblin or its wyvern mount, leaving the other behind (equal chance for each). The survivor will have the same HP value (not percent) as the goblin rider when it died, and keeps any statuses it had.
Tips & Tricks
- If you manage to kill a goblin rider's wyvern while it's flying over deep water, it will drop the goblin into the water and kill it instantly.
History
- In 0.33, goblin riders will be added to the game.
