Alright folks, let’s get real over here. First things first, look at his wee face and his goggles and his adorable lil steampunky claws. He’s already burrowed his way into our hearts, right enough.

Ahem. Okay so Digger has a 1” melee, and his stats apart from that aren’t overly exceptional. He has a 3/4” KICK, meaning he’s actually very accurate at passing the ball around, and if he can get up there for a shot, he’s more than likely to hit it. His 4”/6” MOV is (like all Miners) deceptive, since he of course has Secret Tunnel, meaning he’s effectively roughly a 7”/9” model, with two separate moves, one of which is a place to help escape melee zones.

So he’s fast and has a good (if short ranged) KICK, but apart from that, his stats are a touch on the low side. His playbook is actually pretty solid, however. He has a tickle of damage, and some momentous pushes further up, but really the only thing he’s reliably hitting is that Tackle. Which, combined with the strong elements of his statline, obviously push him further into the route of being a ball-oriented mascot.

This is further highlighted by his character play, which is one we’ve seen earlier on Spade. Diggy Hole allows our little moley friend to place within 2”, meaning he can move a total of ~12” each turn, which gives him a not inconsiderable 16” goal threat. Not bad for a mascot, especially when so much of that movement is non-linear and can avoid melee zones entirely.

Finally, 10 HP is about average for a Mascot with Digger’s defensive stats.
