Troggy Treasures Booster Pack Guide

Troggy Buccaneer

This troggy buccaneer introduces a brand new epic to the game – Retaliation. Functioning similar to Vengeance Strike, the companion will make an extra hit when attacked. However, unlike Vengeance, this applies to shooty attacks only instead of melee attacks only. Unfortunately it does not work on staffy attacks!

Ook starts out at any level with all 3 of his powers: Super Strike, Leviathan’s Cry (Kraken’s Lament, but blocks ranged and staff based attacks instead of melee), and Troggy Smash (hit and reduce agility and will by 50% for 3 rounds). He also has three starting epics, being Turn the Tide, Witch Hunter, and Retaliation. Seeing as he finishes with 6 epic selections, he gets the basic progression of an epic at levels 15, 35, and 55. In summation, that’s 9 total epics. Make sure to look closely at his talents, otherwise his Jump and Alert (which is a rarity on buccaneer units) might slip right by your eye.

He can train (yes, train) up to Tide 3. Other possibilities include Retaliation 2, Witch Hunter 2, Blade Storm 2, Relentless 2, and Cheap Shot 2.

When I mentioned how unique these Troggy companions are, I wasn’t kidding! This Troggy buccaneer is a counterplay unit, with both Witch Hunter and Retaliation as great ways to counter Witchdoctors and Musketeers respectively. His high strength as a buck unit will prove criticals to be easy work! Why not capitalize on this strength (pun intended) and go for a cool ranged counter build?

I personally will be running something along the lines of Witch Hunter 2, Retaliation 2, Relentless 2, Blade 2, Tide 1. If I find that he does not critical on muskets and witches as much as I’d like, I will likely drop a level of Blade Storm for another in Turn the Tide.

Troggy Privateer

So the Troggy buccaneer has his niche, but what about Mr. Gloryfoot over here? Well, he’s certainly securing glory in the Troggy Hall of Fame for being the first companion to have trainable powers! Contessa was technically the first, back in test realm for Valencia Part 2, but that didn’t stick around.

Glorrip begins his journey with Super Strike and Focus Fire powers, and his base epics are Second Chance and Flanking. Yes, it’s less than Ook, but guess what’s not less? His epic selections. He gets a whopping 8 choices: a massive 5 to start, alongside the typical level 15, 35, and 55. And, of course, he has the standardized Troggy jump talent. So if you’re counting, that’s a clean 10 epics!

His possibilities for trained epics include Second Chance 3, Flanking 3, Repel Boarders 2, Cheap Shot 2, Relentless 2, Blade Storm 2, and Witch Hunter 2. Now, I hope that training powers piqued your interest, because he’s got quite an interesting selection. If you’re not quite feeling giving him 8 more epic talents, you can choose to give him Call to Arms or Walk in Darkness instead. Yes, he can train hide. This power-training option is present at level 70 but not at level 2, so it clearly unlocks at some level in-between.

While a lot of players seem to hate the Flanking and Repel Boarders on hide companions such as Fan Flanders and Sarah Steele, Glorrip takes no shame in his talent selection and is a master of movement. Maybe that’s why they named him Gloryfoot? His interesting epic selection to juxtapose his hide power (that we know everyone will be running) gives him a unique playstyle unlike any other companion so far. Where you choose to place him matters, and he serves an interesting support role with focus fire and many movement-based epic choices. You probably will not want to hide immediately, instead timing it strategically.

In my opinion, I see no issue with hide and these movement epics so long as you make your placements right! I’ll be using Flanking 3, Second Chance 3, Relentless 2, Blade 1, and Walk in Darkness. If I don’t find hide advantageous with his moveset, I’ll swap to Witch Hunter.

Troggy Witchdoctor

What Witchdoctor playstyle does Eep Urp cater to? Summoner. Which this Witch (me) wished for. Maybe that W alliteration bit your tongue more than he bites… eyes? Hmm. Dunno where I was going with that one. Anyways, not only is he the first ever companion to get Soul Harvest, previously only available on Baron Samedi’s Masque (a rare Nefarious Five eyepatch drop), but he is also the first companion to have Styigan Chorus as a power!

The Eyebiter will certainly make a name for himself with his powers and epics. He begins with Jobu’s Embrace, and you can never go wrong with that. Followed by both configurations (straight line & X) of Stygian Chorus, he’s a great compliment to any witchdoctor undead banner or summoner strategy. In terms of epics he’s got Readied Spell, Improved Mojo Blast, and Soul Harvest. Just like Ook, the Troggy buccaneer, he gets 6 epic choices. 3 immediately and the other 3 at levels 15, 35, 55 as usual. That’s a total of 9.

Readied Spell 3, Improved Mojo Blast 3, Soul Harvest 2, Jobu’s Ruse 3, Bloodsucker 3, and Retribution 3 are his epic choices. Yeah, did I mention he trains bloodsucker? And he’s the debut of Soul Harvest rank two? Reminder, he also has jump. It seems the Malus wasn’t the only thing popping out of Nightmares recently.

This Troggy witchdoctor companion is, in my opinion at least, the coolest we’ve ever seen. It’s great for mojo strategies, it’s great for summoner strategies, and it’s even just a great standalone companion. With such a diverse selection of epics, you really could run this one any way you want.

What I’ll probably do with this mean eyebiting machine is Readied Spell 3, Bloodsucker 3, Improved Mojo Blast 2, Soul Harvest 1. While you could run Soul Harvest 2, I really don’t see any situation that you’d need it to activate thrice in a round unless it’s summoner-on-summoner action, but that doesn’t happen all too much.

Troggy Musketeer

I feel like Deeglu is pretty self-explanatory: Two bombs and a crackshot. What else is there to say? Everyone and their frogfather will be using this one for farming and mojo spam. He’s like Louis LeBisque except just better.

The epic selection is quite fun, though. Like most of the others, he starts with 3 choices and gets another 3 from the typical level band epics (I’ll spare typing out the level numbers this time, you should know them by now). He’s got Parting Shot 2 and Crossfire off the bat, so with his 6 additional choices he’ll have 9. I hope you’re seeing a pattern here!

Unlike the others, his epic choices are quite brief. Parting Shot 5, Crossfire 3, Quick Adjust 2, True Grit 2, Double Tap 2. Nothing insane, but that Parting Shot can be a cool utility epic while you’re raining bombs. I can say with complete certainty that Mr. Deadshot, here, will be very well-acquainted with Old Scratch.

Might as well give a unique Troggy musket some unique epics, right? My Deeglu Deadshot will have Parting 5, Adjust 2, and Tap 1 alongside the base Crossfire 1. I don’t see a point going for crossfire considering you want ranged units to, well, stay ranged, and crossfire only triggers if an enemy is adjacent. Hopefully the new Pirate developers consider changing this, but until then, I’ll steer clear.

Troggy Swashbuckler

The star of the show, the best for last, whatever you want to call him – he’s the best of the best, at least in my opinion. While all of these Troggy companions have their own specialties, Eloo is such a swashy Troggy swashbuckler. The only thing slipperier than a swashbuckler is a frog, and he covers both bases ridiculously well.

He starts out with two powers – Leviathan’s Call and Cloak & Dagger. The latter, Cloak & Dagger, is one of the new powers from the Sinbad Chapter 3 weapons, and absolutely nuts. It’s quite literally an assassin’s strike and hide combined into one power, a swashbuckler’s dream indeed. And to top that off, he gets Sneaky Sneaky, Riposte, and First Strike as starting epics and both Jump and Alert for talents. With 4 epic choices to start, plus the three progression-based ones, he gets 7 choices for a grand total of 10 epics.

But oh no, that’s not all. Eloo is the first companion to have Sneaky Sneaky 3, as he has the option to pursue it as an epic. From experimentation, this rank activates nearly every round, while rank two was more hit-or-miss. In summation, he’s got the ability to train Sneaky Sneaky 3, Riposte 5, First Strike 3, Repel Boarders 2, Second Chance 2, and Blade Storm 2.

Eloo the Slippery is definitely a slippery foe if he isn’t on your side. He said he’s stealing Yohr’s job, and he did so indeed. Yohr is now unemployed. He’s on the streets. I would say F to pay respects for this fallen Grizzly Beast, but unfortunately Eloo has ensured that we are unable to do so in the current chat filter.

Jokes aside, yes this companion does completely replace Yohr. While Eloo doesn’t get relentless, the Troggy’s extra rank in Sneaky Sneaky compared to Yohr, alongside his amazing powers, carry him to victory. That’s why I’ll be running Riposte 4, Sneaky 3, First 2, Blade 1 to start out. Since he goes into hide at the end of almost every turn, I don’t quite see a point in First 3. However, I plan to mess around with his build a bit and may update this section if I find something that seems best-in-slot.
