Drops
Kobold drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Dynamite-toting shock troopers of the old ones army
Appearing during Tier 2 and Tier 3 of the Old One's Army event, Kobolds charge along the path toward the Eternia Crystal with reckless abandon. Clad in leather harnesses and carrying active explosive barrels, they enter the battle with 800 life and 32 defense. Their primary mission is to reach defensive barricades or players and detonate their volatile payloads for 80 direct damage.
Defusing explosive charges before crystal impact
If a Kobold gets close to the Eternia Crystal or is reduced to fatal health, it triggers its dynamite fuse, exploding into a fiery burst. Sentry summons like Ballistas and Lightning Auras, paired with piercing ranged weapons, are essential for detonating these demolitionists far down the lane. In Master mode, their health rises to 2,040 life while their blasts deal 240 damage, making long-distance crowd control mandatory.
Trivia
- Kobolds detonate their explosive kegs upon reaching their target or upon receiving fatal damage.
- They first appear during Tier 2 of the Old One's Army after defeating at least one mechanical boss.
