Greater Swarm
Modifier Type: Spell
Goblin-town Miners gain +20% damage and armour for every two Goblin-town battalions, up to a maximum of +100% damage and armour
These grimy, soot-covered wretches are the lifeblood of Goblin-town's ever-expanding tunnels, driven by their fanatical worship of the Great Fat One. Armed with crude pickaxes and volatile explosives, these goblins tear through rock and earth with reckless abandon, carving out new paths in the depths.
Base statistics · Build time: 20s · Range and speed use game units. Mixed battalions are broken down below. Conditional bonuses are not folded into these totals.

Weapons & attack range
Damage is per hit, before target armor. Different projectile upgrades are shown separately. Attack timing can also depend on animation; these values are not a DPS estimate.
