Description: Glarrgl the sea-monster has emerged from the depths and is poised to leave his mark on this realm! Glarrgl's special powers include the ability to temporarily disable defensive Rooms and the ability to Stun enemy Minions. In addition, his dreaded Ink Ball attack becomes more powerful (cooldown reduced and disable duration increased) every 5 Training levels, but will require a hefty amount of Dreadstone.

Stuns
Ink blobs are thrown to stun defensive rooms within range after a fixed cool down.
Minions are stunned when attacking Glarggl (apparently at random).
At each fifth level the cool down is reduced.

Level: Room stun/Cool down/Minion stun
Level 1-4: 5/26?/1? seconds
Level 5-9: 5.5/24?/1? seconds
Level 10-14: 6/22?/1 seconds
Level 15-19: 6.5/20/1 seconds
Level 20-24: 7/18/1 seconds
Level 25-29: 7.5/16/1 seconds
Level 30-34: 8/15/1 seconds (info says 7.5 for some levels)
Level 35: 8.5/14/1 seconds

Damage types
Glarggl has four attacks that do damage: a head bash, two tentacle strikes, and an ink blob.

The average damage per second against a building that takes all four strikes is what is posted in G's damage stat. In practice, non-defensive buildings will not take the ink blob hits, so about 1/3 less damage is done against them. The same is true of minions or immortals that Glarggl fights.

Once per second, Glarggl does a head bash for 1/3 of Glarggl's attack damage. Once per two seconds, Glarggl does two tentacle strikes in rapid succession (its left and right tentacles). Each tentacle does about 1/3 of Glarggl's attack damage. The target range for the head bash is 3. The head and tentacle strikes will each target a different thing (building, door, minion or trap) if there are multiple targets within the spash square of the primary target. So, for example, the head bash will hit a door three squares ahead that Glarggl is trying to walk through, while each tentacle will strike something within a 3x3 square of the door if possible (or will also hit the door if there are no other targets). The tentacles are thus a style of splash damage, where if no splash is done the extra tentacle damage is focused back on the main target.

The ink blob will only target the closest defensive building to Glarggl, and does 1/3 of Glarggl's attack damage multiplied by the blob attack speed upon landing. For example, at level 35 it does 688/3*14=3211 damage. It also stuns the room for the time listed above, so that it cannot attack anything nor deploy new minions (in the case of the Guild Lair). Defensive buildings include the Guild Lair, Torture Chamber, Dark Library, Hatchery, Graveyard, Unholy Temple, Training Room, and Dungeon Heart. The ink blob will not attack nor damage non-defensive rooms: the Treasury, Warehouse and Guard Post.

Attack Range
Glarggl has an attack range if 2 against buildings, traps, doors and minions. This can give it an advantage hen fighting, and protect it from damage from non-ranged rooms (the Training Room and Dungeon Heart) depending on the angle of approach.

[goonigoogoo]

Level 15 750 dreadstones
Level 20 1000 dreadstones
Then logically
Level 25 1250
Level 30 1500
Level 35 1750 dreadstones and 13 million gold
Therefore 7000 dreadstones to fully train but he will be worth s as he's pretty awesome already

[Smellypuppy]

Glarggl - the sound of even more people rushing to solo guilds to farm dreads!

[goonigoogoo]

6.5 million gold to train to level 19
562 attack
4160 life
Disable room for 6.5 seconds
Enemy stun 1 second
Training time 8 days 12 h
And yes i was farming in hc at the weekend lol

[Fafnir]

Great summary

But I think there is one incorrect cost at lv21 messing up the later part of the needed gold.

Haven't really kept track on the Glargll spendings but just looking at the table I would assume lv22 would be at 7500k gold rather than lv21 shaving off 500k on all gold spendings upwards?


By the way, good upgrade on your design Pit, was struggling with the well placed zappers, lol

Cheers

[Black Crag]

Good spotting Fafnir, you're right. I'm training lvl26 now and it's 9M.

[Bills Hell]

Almost time to nurfed him too.

Thanks for the list.
One correction: It's +130 HP per Level...

I love mistresses (...to attack with, not whatcha thinkin' ) ...but IMHO the mistress-equivalent is way too late for lower level-players. It would make sense if the ability to stun enemies would be actually "Increases all nearby allies' effectiveness for x seconds" from the beginning (lvl 5 for 3s every 30s, lvl 10 4s and so on...). I have a level 17 Glarggl right now and alevel 16 Horny is still much better and his education was only paid with simple gold.

[pitofdespair]

Thanks! I’ll try to update it for the new 36-40 levels soon. Glarggl is certainly trickier to play than Horny.
