One big difference between the goblins of wow and the one’s in the goblin slayer anime is that these ones are very intelligent to the point of being able to produce some of Azeroth’s best technology. Now this begs the question. Would the goblin slayer be able to deal with goblins like the ones we see in wow given their higher intelligence? A possibly better question. Would he even hate goblins in this game as much since most of them are pretty friendly and neutral?
Goblins in WoW think with the a Carrot on a stick… if money is envloved they will win for sure. Take the carrot away they multiple like rabbits

pretty sure he would confuse the orcs as goblins too and just kill them all.
and not to mention he would kinda be killing them guerilla warfare style, place traps, kill them quick an fast, and so on.
in all honesty, even if goblins are technologically smart, they kinda are fragile.

WoW Goblins aren’t nearly as evil as the ones Goblin Slayer has to deal with, so he’d probably just be interested in figuring out how to get back home while collecting new toys to use on the Goblins from his world.

Well the reason Goblin Slayer is so good at hunting Goblins is because he knows them perfectly, he know their tactics, how they will act, and such.
But outside of just Goblins, GS is really smart just kinda… well reckless.
He is obsessed with Goblins and mostly only interested in them but he has proven to be capable of dealing with other enemies.
Debatable, Gnomes are far superior Tinkers than Goblins, who require mental boosting drinks to actually invent.
no, the Goblins of his world are swam creatures who can barely use melee weapons, while Goblins of our world build space rockets, have Towns in boxes, and can build siege cannons that can fire across an ocean. they keep us Gnomes on our toes, thankfully we have space based weapons to counter them, but seriously this Goblin Slayer wouldn’t last 5 minutes in Booty Bay.

Honestly it depends. I think if in his first encounter it was a lone goblin he would probably win but if he ever tried to take on a group then their explosive ordinance would tear him apart
As noted, he is really knowledge about the goblins. But WoW’s Goblins are not those goblins… so he will likely either adapt quickly or die. (Alternatively he will go home wondering what hell he ended up in.)

Well we could take in mind that if Goblin Slayer is in WoW then the same rules apply to him, he would have access to all the stuff we have.
And we know he doesnt hold back… for example using an expensive teleportation spell to flood a Goblin nest
In that case, if we assume he is from Stormwind then he is bound to be a lot more powerful. If he also has experience in dealing with goblins in this world maybe he would fair better. One big thing though is that if I am not mistaken, goblins are still considered smarter on average than humans in this game. In Goblin Slayer’s world he is up against goblins who are much more dumb and weaker in general.
Personally, I don’t think he’d ever really develop the obsession over killin’ Goblins that he has, given that WOW Goblins aren’t just dumb monster. They’re clever entrepreneurs that are more concerned with makin’ money than anythin’ else.
A group of WOW Goblins would’ve been more likely to show up at his village and try to make a quick bag of money than pillagin’ and rapin’ like the primitive goblins in Goblin Slayer did.
Seems like an odd question,Goblin Slayer is his title so he’d know various ways to fight any kind. Though as some have said,the WoW goblins are more advanced and some still have a neutral mentality and will go with anyone willing to pay em money [they’re pretty much the Ferengi of WoW] they’re more interested in turning a profit to the highest seller than savagely committing acts of mindless murder and debauchery. It also seems like it would be a similar answer to if someone asked about Doomslayer and how he’d fair against the demons of the Burning Legion [BFG 'nuff said]
I can see him struggling then in that sense with more intelligent goblins. They are harder to outwit.
goblin slayer has the power of anime on his side, plot demands he wins no matter the situation.
