Engineer Whirleygig is a goblin master engineer. His gizmos tend to break apart after a while, so you best use devices quickly!
Engineer Whirleygig:
Combat Trait
1
I'll make another from scrap!
If your device dies, you can simply make and use another one! Devices don't count towards death counter when destroyed! Also, devices have no death timer! You yourself do however...
Dead minions and structures and devices drop scrap. Scrap is used as a building material for gizmos! Whirleygig can store up to 10 scrap pieces! Yay!
Yes, "scrap", with letter "s"...
Primary Abilities
1
Target Dummy [Q]
Create a target dummy over 1 second. When the target dummy is created, the ability icon is no longer grey, but some other lively color. Press ability icon again to position the target dummy anywhere near you. Target dummy lasts for 30 seconds unless killed. Explodes on death or on expiration. Target dummy poses a threat to enemy minions and gadgets, who attack it!
Can create and use as many of these simultaneously as you like!

Explosive Sheep [W]

Create a harvest reaper! Once created, the ability icon is no longer grey, but some other lively color. Press ability icon again to remotely control the harvest reaper!

Once the remote control over the harvest reaper is taken, the action bar is changed to the harvest reaper's action bar, and the camera now follows harvest reaper into new adventures! Details below!
Do notice that Whirleygig becomes so consumed by operating his harvest reaper, not being capable of moving! Exploding the harvest reaper puts him in charge of himself again, though.

Heroic Abilities
1
Satellite Crash [R1]
You messed your remote controller up! Your remote controller messed the local satellite up! And then that satellite messed another one near it too! 2 local satellites will crash within the next 20 seconds right next to you, leaving 10 scrap on the ground each!
Satellites fall separately, one almost right away, and the other almost 20 seconds afterwards, so that Engineer has time to pick and use scrap up!
Cooldown: 90 second
