Armored vanguards of the goblin army
Goblin Warriors are the heavy melee bruisers of the Goblin Army, encased in dark iron mail and helmets. Boasting 110 health and 8 defense, they march forward with sturdy knockback resistance, shrugging off light weapon swings while forcing their way through wooden doorways and barricades to overwhelm defenders.
Withstanding heavy strikes and pillaging equipment
Their powerful melee blows inflict 25 damage in Classic and 50 in Expert, demanding heavy-hitting weapons like flails or piercing magic to halt their steady advance. Eliminating Goblin Warriors rewards players with Spiky Balls at a 49.8% rate (amount 1–5) and the Harpoon at a 0.5% chance for versatile ranged combat.
Trivia
- Goblin Warriors have the highest health and defense among basic Goblin Army soldiers.
- Their high knockback resistance makes them difficult to push back with fast, low-damage weapons.
