    Kobolds are wonderfully underestimated

    It's easy to underestimate these guys. Unlike the other beastmen, the Kobolds don't actually LOOK threatening. But while I can solo against multiple links of the other beastmen, I find myself running and flailing my arms like a scared, overly-excited Kermit The Frog if I so much as link more than one Kobold at or above my level.

    These things are vicious.

    BE AFRAID OF THE SQUIRREL PEOPLE!

    lol

    I love farming Kobolds. They curl up and quit attacking you so that's some relief. But yeah they're vicious with the AoEs and that bomb toss hurts! I wish I screenshotted that time I had like 5 different DoTs on me. There's always one that pops punishing barbs. Geez that hurts, if you hit a crit on that guy! Or worse if more than one has it on. You'll drop to red or get oneshotted.

    I use a High Crit and Rampage on those folks so I can keep regenning, but I've died so many times fighting them. It's a lot of fun.

    HMMM...ya very easy to underestimated them...
    they are just like these Tonberry...
    "oh look! a cute little guy with robe"
    Tonberry spot you at the corner of eyes and starts to walk toward you.
    "awww look! it walks slowly so cute!!"
    tonberry walk closer.
    "awwww it has a cute little lamp too!"
    tonberry walks even closer.
    "awww I think it wants to give me something /think"
    Tonberry stabs with chef knife.
    9999 damage. Player is defeated.

    so ya they are just preparing something evil, such as summoning Titan...

    Yeah... It's funny because the Kobold stronghold is actually quite a bit harder than the other two, not to mention Aleport is easily the most difficult hamlet.

    EDIT: For some reason I said they have high magic resistance when it is the complete opposite. Derp.

    It's not only the AoE bomb others mentioned but also their really nasty magic resistance which makes nukes a lot harder (whereas you can destroy the Ixali quickly with Fire/Fira).
    Aye and like others said all those DoT's and Enfeebles make it impossible to heal up.
