Armole

There are two reasons why Armole enjoys stealing from the rich: 1. Because he can take their Gold and give it to the poor. 2. Because after he’s done his job, he helps himself to their massive pantries, which are always full of delicious treats!

Overview
Armole is a hybrid of a tank and an attacker that focuses mainly on tortures, messing with accuracy and big shields. His stats, trait and relic slots are amazing, so he is recommended as a tank or even your main attacker in your team.

Pros:

 * Great stats, especially health
 * Good trait
 * Good relic slots for both his roles
 * Low stamina costs, especially on his Shield moves
 * High damage output

Cons:

 * Moderate cooldowns
 * No metal moves, so other high health earth monsters wall him
 * Only one AoE move
 * Only inflicts Blind and Quicksand (excluding special)

Digging for Gold

 * Miners Mate (60 Earth dmg + Team NER, 27s, 2cd)
 * Mud Bath (AoE 40 Earth dmg + Quicksand, 25s, 2cd)
 * To The Surface (Team 50% Shield + Blind Immunity, 11s, 3cd)
 * The Best Defence / Tunnel Vision (Defence for Self 100% Shield, 11s, 3cd) / (Vision for 50 Earth dmg + Blind, 20s, 1cd)

Miners Mate is a cleansing move which comes with a ton of damage. Mud Bath is Armole's only AoE move, so it is compulsory. To The Surface is only there for the team 50% shield (no one cares about Blind Immunity). The Best Defence give Armole a huge shield and Tunnel Vision deals a good chunk of damage with a side dish of blind.

Recommended Runes: 3 Life; 2 Life, 1 Power; 1 Life, 1 Power, 1 Team Speed

Counters

 * Shield removers like Koarim and Sir Francis Rock can remove the huge shields Armole gives to his team. Sir Francis Rock also gives Shield Block, so that Armole has to waste a turn NERing his team to apply his shields again, only to be broken again because of Francis Rock's AoE Shield destroying move with no cooldown. Koarim can apply Taunt to himself so that Armole has a hard time taking him down since most of Armole's moves are Earth moves and he only has one AoE move.
 * Dark or Magic attackers like Postigaruf can kill off this mole with ease.
 * Earth attackers with the dark or magic element like Growler can attack Armole while Armole has trouble dealing with them.
