Tips[]
- If you lack considerable damage to burst down the Gremlin Leader, killing the gremlins spawned will increase the likelyhood of her not attacking (Rallying and Encouraging instead), hence giving you turns to continue chipping her health, as well as removing their abilities (such as the Fat Gremlin's Weak). This also means that the new gremlins spawned do not carry the old gremlins' Strength buffs.
- Any minion from this fight (i.e. spawned gremlins or gremlins that come in the fight) will retreat and be defeated if the Gremlin Leader is defeated.
- While Gremlin Leader may summon minions continually, it is important to kill Gremlin Wizards; their attacks are very strong. Killing a Fat Gremlin may also help kill the Leader faster due to its Weak debuff no longer being applied.
- Gremlin Leader continually buffs her allies' Strength, so killing her quickly is important to avoid her attacks from becoming too deadly.
Trivia[]
- Gremlin Leader is confirmed to be female by one of the developers.[1]
