Drops

Kobold Glider drops nothing in the game's drop rules.

Winged aerial saboteurs bypassing ground defenses

Kobold Gliders take the explosive tactics of their ground kin into the sky during Tier 2 and Tier 3 of the Old One's Army. Suspended beneath stitched bat-wing gliders with 580 life and 32 defense, they soar smoothly over ground traps and barricades. Gliding directly toward the Eternia Crystal, they prepare to drop their explosive ordnance onto defenders for 80 contact damage.

Clipping glider wings with anti-air flak and sentries

Ground sentries that target only floor units cannot stop Kobold Gliders from reaching the crystal. Defenders must employ anti-air towers, explosive trap sentries, or high-velocity firearms to clip their wings mid-flight. Slaying a glider drops the Kobold to the ground, stripping its aerial advantage. In Master mode, their resilience reaches 1,479 life and their strikes deliver 240 damage, requiring vigilant skyward monitoring.

Trivia

  • Kobold Gliders bypass ground barriers by flying high above the floor of the Old One's Army arena.
  • Taking fatal wing damage forces the Kobold occupant to tumble onto the floor below.
