Hero Review

Deadboot: The Sticky-Fingered Wither Goblin

"Deadboot might be small, but his appetite for enemy buffs is massive. This Very Fast Goblin sniper doesn't just hit you; he steals your lunch money (buffs), lowers your defenses permanently, and kicks you while you're down. A timeless offensive tool despite the aging stats."

How it works

By default, Deadboot has Very Fast mana speed, requiring 6.5 tiles to charge. Equipping troops with a Mana Bonus can reach specific Breakpoints — the exact percentages where your tile count drops — allowing your hero to fire their special skill faster, with less tiles.
