DanteJH Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hi all, I'm a fairly new gremlin player who is getting a whiskey golem very soon. After reading over him card and some upgrades (sorry papa wyrd) I've come to the conclusion that he appears a very good model with fantastic movement, a cost appropriate attack and great defensive capabilities. He also has three upgrades that each help him in a different way, hide in the mud keeps him safe en route to his target, angry drunk makes him pack even more punch and his 0 cost upgrade gives him a 50% chance to heal on EVERY melee attack. Speaking of healing can we talk about his built in healing as well as being great with earl burns? I don't have the brewmaster but the upgrade drinking problem lets him heal double. Then I started thinking, I've never seen anyone play with the golem or even talk about him in my community and podcasts I listen to. So I ask the larger community, why don't you take the whiskey golem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 At 10ss he's quite an investment, he's mobile enough, but actually less hitty than you'd think. For a beater, you'd really like that 3rd swing rather than nimble. After all, beaters don't often have to chase down targets so much when they are already Wk6. his Ml range is a little small too - and with it sometimes being annoying to get his big base through gaps without flight/incorporeal or similar, other gremlin models pack more punch for cheaper cost and ease of use. that said, I don't always believe all these arguments and I do use him from time to time myself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I must agree with Joel 100%. Whiskey Golem doesn't suck outright or anything but he can be a bit clumsy on certain boards and his endurance is a bit weird and he can be brought down somewhat easily if properly concentrated upon. His engagement reach is his most critical limitation, IMO. If he had a 3" reach I would use him a lot more. But I wish to stress that he isn't horrible and he has his place. And he does have fun synergies around. For example, Sparks and Mechpork offer fun stuff for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmantra Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 It's also not a gremlin or pig so you lose out on synergies there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four_N_Six Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I love him with Mah, since he's fast enough to keep up with her. I have a hard time with his Ml range, but it isn't the worst thing in the world. I have a hard time deciding between his new upgrade or his old one to get Flurry. Being able to Flurry after taking a nimble walk action is pretty powerful in my opinion, even if you lose the healing factor he gets.
