General Strategy

The kind of[Moria] minion you want to survive through Archery fire. At just[1], this minion is a cheap addition to the Moria swarm; however, Goblin Backstabber's real strength is derived from his game text. In a culture with very little in terms of damage bonus (the only non-unique minion, besides one bearing Moria Axe), Goblin Backstabber can be a finisher against higher-strength companions.
