....and making for lop-sided teams with nobody wanting to play as a zombie. Hopefully, they'll (eventually) place a restriction on how many chompers can be on a team at one go as otherwise, they'll be killing the game.
Auch folk will probably get bored pretty quickly of playing the new chomp anyway... hopefully...
and some folk will not be able to get him super quick either.... high personal vanquish count towards earning him and
the upgrade pack isn't available till the 21st I believe.
Looking forward to it all anyway (and I'm not a chomper fan mostly... do like Yeti though sometimes).... its cool Popcap are trying to keep the game alive 😃
I'm actually quite happy to see the ability for people that didn't get the Unicorn Chomper to get to the max rank with this new character, even though you could get it like my one friend did as he issues with GW1 and his account via the portal when Unicorn Chomper was available. This leads me to believe that people at max rank in GW2 are getting some kind of bonus in the new game and they're trying to give people a chance to do so here.
I don't use the Unicorn Chomper much but the warp is a nice variation on the burrow.

Absolutely! And full marks to PopCap for doing so, but what worries me is that the introduction of yet another chomper - and by the sound of it an extreme one at that - is going to introduce yet another imbalance in the game. I can only hope that it can be countered sufficiently by some quick work by first and foremost the Arctic Trooper, as PopCap (through the years this game has been on the market) don't always seem to fully realize the implications of the changes they make to the game's various characters.
It just looks like a blue Unicorn Chomper... so I guess its just a reskin and just the same.
Edit: Well .... turns out that he warps further than unicorn apparently.

He warps father.
He runs as fast as the Hot rod chomper (Hot rod chomper is still faster and has more speed upgrades), only has one warp charge which shares the same cool down as the unicorn chomper making his warp a downgrade. The unicorn chomper can reach the same distance by using two charges. consider it to be in the same spot as the The engineer's jackhammer. They travel the same distance but one is just faster.
His attack speed is a lot slower but he deals more damage per bite. With both damage upgrades he can do 43 damage per bite. The faster bite speed that unicorn chomper has might be better overall though.
He only has 150 health while the unicorn has 175.
Overall those are his differences. Since i find that his warp is a downgrade i'd say the unicorn chomper is better just because the unicorn can use the extra warp charge to get out of danger. It depends on if you want a chomper with a faster move speed and slower attack speed but higher damage or one that can easily warp in and out of danger and has a faster attack speed.
Another reason why i find his warp to be a downgrade over the unicorn chomper's is because you can easily get caught on something which can stop your warp short. If that happens you are stuck waiting and can be exposed where you'll at least have a extra charge to keep a hold of with the unicorn's warp.
