==Military Strength==
The tribe was last estimated by information brokers to be rated as a Level 40+ infiltration job.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/10/12/9-20/ Chapter 9.20]</ref> The tribe is strong enough to bloody [[Pallass]]' 2nd Army. It's estimated to have over fifteen thousand members.<ref>{{VERef|10.35 - Pt. 1}}</ref>
After absorbing notable tribes, the Flooded Waters tribe has many Hobgoblins in its army. Many have gained advanced classes from surviving the Siege of Liscor. The Redfang warriors make up its elite combatants as well as its cavalry with their [[Carn Wolves|Carn Wolf]] riders.
They have strong ranged forces, from [[Badarrow]]'s disciples of trained archers and snipers, as well as their [Tinkerers] manufacturing crossbows. They've also made siege weapons like huge crossbow-ballistas made from Wyvern hide, sinew and bones dubbed Thunderbows, and a model a third of its size dubbed Roarwings.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/15/7-12-g/ Chapter 7.12 G]</ref> They've added glass magnifiers to extend their range of accuracy, and also possess trebuchets and ballistae.<ref name=":3">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/24/8-39/ Chapter 8.39]</ref>
They have a flying force of [[Wyverns|Wyvern]] riders, thanks to their multiple [Beast Tamers] that usually provide the Redfang's Carn Wolves, and possibly a few remnants of Reiss' Army which was known to employ Shield Spiders, establishing bonds with Frost Wyverns. On top of their breath attacks, they've mounted their Thunderbows onto their backs. They are led by [[Snapjaw]].<ref name=":0" /><ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/08/30/9-12/ Chapter 9.12]</ref>
Because of the alliance with the Tormek Al clan of [[Ogres]], some have joined the tribe, and they were made into shock troops by being trained by Redscar and fully armoured, with plans to enchant that armor when possible to make them even tougher.<ref name=":8.16" /> They carry shields,<ref name=":3" /> and some are armed with Thunderbows, which they can carry by hand.<ref name=":1" />
The tribe has other specialist forces to rely upon. [[Headscratcher]]'s disciples of [Berserkers]. [[Shorthilt]]'s disciples of weapon experts, who use rare weapons.<ref name=":0" /> [[Poisonbite]]'s mostly-female, grey-clad ambushers, armed with poisoned weapons. [[Calescent]]'s Spicy-brigade, who lace their weapons with pepper dust.<ref name=":8.16" /> There is a growing number of [Goths] who can defend with their negative auras.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/22/9-66/ Chapter 9.66]</ref>
They know how to make some of [[Velan]]'s alchemical creations, such as a strength drink.<ref name=":0" /> They make armor out of Wyvern hides lined with Carn Wolf fur.<ref>{{VERef|Goblin Days (Pt. 1) – The Wedding}}</ref> They have access to a vein of Orichalcum ore, though there is no evidence that they have exploited it yet, and they might not have the knowledge or means to smelt the alloy.<ref>{{VERef|9.44 P}}</ref>
The tribe's greatest strength is the strategic talent and ingenuity of its chieftain, [[Rags]].
===Weaknesses===
While they have [Shamans], the tribe lacks magical resources, be it spellcasters, magic sensors, and enchantments. This was mitigated when members of the [[Molten Stone Tribe]] were convinced to join. [[Niers Astoragon|Niers]] also noted that their defenses are vulnerable to high-level [Rogues], perhaps because they had not yet encountered such a threat.<ref name=":1" />
