Goblin Knights... Wow.
Recently started playing the gathering storm and winds or war expansion and I'm amazed at the power of the goblin knights.
They are classified as a level 3 creature, but I think they are better than some of the level 4s.
- Because they are level 3, slayer won't work on them.
- They can move quite a distance and have high hit points, defence and attack, and they have stone skin.
- The magic resistance makes them hard to deal with even more.
When I first encountered them in gathering storm, they were giving me the most problems as opposed to the other new units.
They move so fast, and because of their magic resistance, often spells like slow or confusion wont work and I lose a turn.
If it wasn't for Bohb and his artifacts allowing him to ignore the enemy magic resistance, they would be a major pain in the ass.
I've read people saying that Bohb is weak and that he is a liability to the team, but in my opinion Bohb was awesome and had high value for me. He was my favorite from gathering storm.
Also I recently did the Spazz campaign, and if it was not for the goblin knights that you able to recruit on the last map, It would have been a problem getting that one completed.
Goblin knights own. So far my with my experience they are way beyond any other level 3 creature.

well, a big enough stack of vampires would own them.
but they should really have a growth of 3 per week and not 4.
is a single gobelin better than a single champion?
and what about the other new units?
gargantuas are incredibly strong and make titan look ridiculous.
megadragons have insane defense (1 megadragon is tougher than 2 frenzied gnashers)
evil sorceress are just the biggest pain in the ass if you attack them with the wrong units (especially if you don't have strong shooters) they slow you down, then slaughter you with implosion, while you can't reach them because they teleport

Don't know how they would do single and one to one, but they are pretty great as a group.
Vampires are over rated I think. If it wasn't for the vampire touch ability they would just be a normal level 3 creature.
What if you had vampire touch casted on a group of goblin knights?
And the enemy didnt have dispel or hypnotize or whatever else or couldn't cast it.
Holy crap.
Well the other new units are level 4s, I expected them to be tough.
I guess its just that the goblin knights really surpirsed me.

Vampires have the no retaliation ability, which Goblin Knights don't.
In the Gathering Storm, that would make a big difference. Against Dogwoggle or Agraynel, the Goblin Knights might be frozen or peaced before they even get to attack. Even without those, against GM melee heroes like Dogwoggle, 30 of them still bite the dust before they can get a hit in. Also, Alita wouldn't be able to use her vampiric tough against other vampires.
Otherwise, they sure are the best level 3s, along with the Vampire.
