- "Behold... the 5-Star Champion too fantastic for lower ranks: GOLDPOOL! And now you must fight me, because I'm a new character! I hope they gave me cool powers!"
- —Goldpool introducing himself[src]
Goldpool is a Mutant Champion. Being a Mutant Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Skill Champions, but is weak to Tech Champions.
Bio[]
Granted a regenerative healing factor at the hands of the Weapon X program, Wade... Blah, blah, blah. Step aside game designer chump. Let me show you how it’s done. In a world where a bunch of superheroes and villains alike battle for the amusement of gamers with too much time on their hands, one handsome, kickbutt dude rises to the arena in his quest to obtain the- wait, what's the point of the Contest? Is the ISO-Sphere thingy? Is it shiny? Whatever, I want it.
Mechanics[]
Goldpool may be what some consider a “Trophy Champ” (he is gold and all!), but he can still pack some utility punch by way of his Taunt Debuffs, Bleed the opponent with Special Abilities, and Regenerate lost health throughout the fight! Goldpool can refresh his Taunt, Prowess, and Regeneration abilities if you’re a good multi-tasker, but this means making some choices in the heat of the moment. Finally, Goldpool can resist Bleed effects, lowering the damage taken from Bleed, so don’t be afraid to suit him up if you’re using the Double Edge Mastery!

Abilities[]
Land 20 Hits Without Being Struck
- Goldpool's confidence soars and he begins throwing out childish barbs to annoy his opponent, inflicting a Taunt passive on them for 10 seconds, reducing their Attack Rating by 35%. Childish? Hey! Words hurt!
Dev Notes: This Taunt Debuff is underrated, and it can be refreshed infinitely if managed properly, allowing you to enter those All or Nothing and prevent opponents from getting 3 bars of power!
When brought below 15% Max Health
- Once per fight, Goldpool has a 999% chance to gain Regeneration, recovering X Health over 8 seconds. Leave my Regen alone Black Widow! You too, Crossbones!
Tier | Health Regenerated |
---|---|
3420.75 | |
6706.5 | |
11443.25 |
Dev Notes: Yes, it really is 999%, therefore if your opponent has various multipliers to reduce Ability Accuracy, he’s still got a very high chance to trigger this Regeneration.
Heavy Attacks
- A boot to the face is always funny, and allows Goldpool to Refresh a personal Taunt effect. Pow! Right in the... well...
Dev Notes: If you haven’t mastered the art of Heavy intercepting, now’s the time. If you can Heavy attack while the Taunt is active, you can keep it going the entire fight.
Bleed Effects
- Goldpool's accelerated healing factor reduces the damage of incoming Bleed effects by 20%.
Dev Notes: It’s an opportunity to shake off a nasty Bleed effect you might have been hit with by mistake, giving him that little boost of survivability that he shines at.
Signature Ability[]
Double Regen = Double Fun - When brought below 35% Max Health
- Once per fight, Goldpool gains Regeneration, recovering X Health over 8 seconds. If this ability is suppressed by a Skill Champion, Goldpool reaches into his script code and tries once more to activate it after 2 seconds. Mutant beats Trained… I mean… Skill.
Tier | Health Regenerated |
---|---|
1368.3 - 4103.36 | |
2950.86 - 8859.43 | |
5035.03 - 15116.78 |
Special Attacks[]
Special 1 - Golden Groin Punch
A fancy spin followed by a not-so-fancy cheap shot.
- 65% chance to Stun the opponent for 2 seconds. Against Non-Robot Male Champions, this chance is doubled. Cup Check!
Special 2 - Sparkly Sword Attack
Jump, spin, slash, pause for dance break!
- If Goldpool completes his dance after this attack, he gains Prowess, increasing his Special Attack damage by 100% for 40 seconds. If he is interrupted, he instead gains 25% Power. Dance break!
- 100% chance to inflict Bleed, dealing X direct damage over 5.5 seconds. This Bleed is affected by Prowess Buffs.
Tier | Bleed Damage |
---|---|
1950.3 | |
3983.1 | |
6796.35 |
- 25% chance to Stun the opponent for 3 seconds. The first time this attack is used each fight, the chance is 100%.
Dev Notes: Be careful when trying to get the Prowess Buff by letting him dance, as your opponent can punish you while dancing. It is best to let him dance the first time this is used in the fight since you’re guaranteed that 3 second stun, then saving for Special 3, which will then refresh the Prowess for another 40 seconds.
Special 3 - Important Call
Goldpool receives a call from... me? Wait... what!?
- Goldpool receives a call from the game devs, and then annoys them into Refreshing his Prowess and Regeneration Buffs.
- 100% chance to inflict Bleed, dealing X direct damage over 4.5 seconds. This Bleed is affected by Prowess Buffs.
Tier | Bleed Damage |
---|---|
3191.4 | |
6517.8 | |
11121.3 |
Dev Notes: If you can save your Special 3 and time it so that you can use it just after one of his Regeneration activations, this will refresh that Regeneration, boosting your health almost double the regular rate while also allowing the Prowess buff to be refreshed for another 40 seconds!
Synergy Bonuses[]
Strengths and Weaknesses[]
Strengths[]
- Matchups where opponents are not resistant or Immune to Bleed or Stun Debuffs
- Goldpool relies on being able to Bleed the opponent or use his Stuns, it’s best to take him into fights where those Debuffs won’t be Shrugged, or Nullified in any way.
- Survivability
- The first Regeneration boost comes at the 15% max health mark, and if his Signature Ability is unlocked, Goldpool will get a 2nd Regeneration boost when first crossing over the 35% max health mark, where you’ll see anywhere from 2950 to 8859 health recovered depending on Signature Level.
- Special Attack Control
- After 20 hits in his combo meter, Goldpool will activate a Taunt debuff on the opponent, which can then be refreshed throughout the fight with a Heavy Attack. This allows him to be taken into riskier All-or-Nothing fights or when needing to bait the opponent into using a Special Attack.
Weaknesses[]
- Debuff Immunity / Bleed Immunity / Stun Immunity
- Any one of the above will severely hinder Goldpool’s ability to really utilize his kit as it is heavily Buff and Debuff reliant.
- Heal Block
- Goldpool’s Regeneration is important to his survivability, so if matched up against an opponent that can block him from healing he will struggle. This goes double for nodes that punish you for activating Buff, since his Regeneration is a built-in part of his kit!
Recommended Masteries[]
- Deep Wounds
- With all the Bleed Goldpool be inflicts on the opponent, this mastery will definitely help end those fights sooner.
- Stupefy
- This extends the duration of Stuns, and gives way for Goldpool to really let his inner child dance the night away after the Special 2 to get that massive Prowess Buff.
- Pacify / Petrify
- With the Stun effects triggering on Special 1 and 2, these two masteries can be put to good use throughout the fight.
Trivia[]
- Goldpool is obtained through Pool's gold crystal with a drop rate of 0.05% and 99.95% for gold equal to greater gold crystal, each crystal can be purchased for 20 units when the event is active.
