The Goblin Techies, Squee, Spleen and Spoon - Guide

HERO INTRODUCTION
This team of tiny Goblins provide the oddest gameplay style of any hero. Relying almost entirely on hidden traps and mines, the Goblin Techies rely on planning and strategy to defeat their enemies. Land Mines, Stasis Traps, and Remotes Mines all must be placed ahead of time to be used effectively. Nearly useless in combat, the Goblin Techies sole offensive ability is suicidally exploding with the hope of taking an enemy with them. However, attacking a base defended by the Techies is extremely difficult, due to the inevitable myriad of invisible traps scattered across the battlefield. Some method for detecting invisibility is a must for outwitting these sly Goblins.

BACKGROUND STORY

Devilishly clever, the goblin techies, despite their small physical presence, are a force to be reckoned with. In line with their goblin brethren, the techies have the skill of laying mines in the earth, invisible to the naked eye. Also, after extensive training with the Orcish voodoo priests of Kalimdor, the Techies are adept at laying paralysis-inducing traps along with their potent explosives. Wary be the foe who takes these three lightly.
