They're tough until you figure out how to deal with them, and then they're easy.They combo well with minions though. Twenty hobgoblins plus a beholder is a pretty neat task force, like infantry + tanks. Beholder's anti-magic prevents you from taking them down with AoEs or Eldritch Blast, so you have to fight the hobgoblins the hard way--and they will make it very painful for you.</blockquote>
