Card Abilties
Immobile
This unit cannot move.
Cling
When a friendly unit starts its move adjacent to this unit, after that move, you may place this unit adjacent to that unit.
Unit Background
Goblin brains fare poorly when their hosts suffer hideous wounds in battle. The psychological scars of these veterans has led Sneeks to train them to ride their comrades into battle. The companionship is enough to keep them from cowering, and these battle-tested warriors hit harder than their more inexperienced kin.
Card Strategy
Clinger stats are good for 0 cost, but they don’t hit particularly hard nor are they particularly tough to kill. Where they shine is to help with a Cave Goblin weakness: Cave Goblins require a lot of mobilility and the game only gives you 3 movements per turn. Clingers don’t need a movement action to reach places and they can reach places where it would be often not possible to in a standard move action.
Horde Clingers cheat the system in many ways, however, often it is hard to put the Clinger in a place that is really useful and generally in those situations it is a great time to Sly in Sneeks for a Clinger, so that next turn Sneeks can hit and then Sly away.
Clingers are the reason Cave Goblins should be very mindful of gate placement, as proper gate placement is necessary so that newly summoned Cave Goblin units can have a Clinger clung to them.

However, if those tricks are not enough, Cave Goblins have another way to help Clingers ...
