Goblin

Goblins are small, quick and obsessed with gold. Golden gear works far better in their hands, they find more loot, and they outrun most threats. They have 4 fewer hearts than a human.

Playstyle#

The Goblin turns weak golden gear into a real option early on and rewards keeping a golden weapon for its loot rolls. Its speed lets it avoid fights it can’t win.

Pairs well with#

  • Rogue: dodge chance covers for Frail.
  • Berserker and Tank: their percentage max-health bonuses offset Frail.
