Goblin Mage
Most players would agree that the Goblin Mage is the most dangerous enemy in regular Goblin caves, besides bosses, mini-bosses and variants, despite only having two moves. (at time of writing; Early Access wipe #1)
Guide
The Goblin Mage has two abilities
- Homing magic projectile that deals massive damage and a strong movement speed debuff
- AoE buff to nearby monsters with a very long cast time
Magic Projectile:
- While at Range:
- Simply strafe left or right.
- (Observation?) The projectile biases in a right-handed circle, so strafing left while at range might be the easiest way to avoid it.
- While in Melee:
- The projectile will never hit a player crouched directly in front of the mage.
