Chaos spellcasters of the raiding army
Goblin Sorcerers are mystical combatants who appear during Goblin Army incursions, wielding destructive spatial magic. Instead of walking across land, they teleport across the battlefield, conjuring glowing Chaos Balls that drift through solid blocks directly toward defending players. They enter the fray possessing 40 health and 2 defense.
Evading penetrating chaos balls and collecting weapons
The magic projectiles cast by Goblin Sorcerers deal 20 damage in Classic and 40 in Expert, ignoring walls and fortifications to strike players resting inside shelters. Eliminating these fragile spellcasters yields Spiky Balls at a 49.8% rate in stacks of 1–5, as well as the Harpoon at a 0.5% chance to bolster player arsenals.
Trivia
- Chaos Balls summoned by Goblin Sorcerers can be deflected or destroyed by weapon swings.
- Goblin Sorcerers cannot teleport into fully illuminated, player-occupied safe rooms without valid standing tiles.
