The '''Hobgoblin''' is a [[Vex]] unit specialized for sniping.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Hobgoblin|Hobgoblin]]''</ref> | |||
''' | |||
== | ==Overview== | ||
*Axis Hobgoblin | Hobgoblins are hardened Vex units fitted with improved optics and acute sensors in their horns.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Hobgoblin|Hobgoblin]]''</ref> They have distinctive tails <ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 55''</ref> and are often armed with weapons called [[Line Rifle]]s, terminals which theoretically draw energy from the accretion disks of galactic singularities.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex_Arsenal#Line_Rifle|Line Rifle]]''</ref> Nessus-born Hobgoblins maintain an orange glow that signifies a charged shield. [[Nessus]]-based Hobgoblins sport two tails. They are also more armored, sporting a second shoulder plate. | ||
==Gameplay== | |||
When attacked, Hobgoblins often seal themselves in stasis within an impenetrable shield, rendering them completely immune to all forms of damage, and allowing them to regenerate a good amount of their health. Guardians who step into this shield are inflicted with the "Burning" debuff until they withdraw. Occasionally, Hobgoblins make use of [[Slap Grenade]]s to force players out of cover and push them back.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]''</ref> These Slap Grenades do [[Void]] damage, and the Hobgoblin's Line Rifles do [[Solar]] damage. A decapitated Hobgoblin will fire faster, but less accurately, and will also be unable to use its Burning Shield. | |||
In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Hobgoblins largely remain the same, save for sporting two tails, and a glow that signifies that their shields are charged. Their shields also restore a significant portion of their health. Unlike some other long-range enemies, such as [[Adherent]]s and [[Cabal Headhunter]]-equipped [[Psion]]s, Hobgoblins will lead their shots based on the movement of their target when they fire their weapon, making it slightly harder to dodge their shots. Players can abruptly change their movement direction when hearing a Hobgoblin fire to avoid being hit. [[Champion|Anti-Barrier]] properties can damage Hobgoblins in their Shield. | |||
