The Clash Royale meta shifts dramatically with each new evolution card. While the Evo Giant Snowball had its moment, it's now rarely seen outside niche decks. The Evo Dart Goblin, however, is a different story. This inexpensive cycle card excels in various deck archetypes, significantly boosting offensive and defensive capabilities, even if its Evo effect requires time to fully activate. This guide explores top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks.
Introduced alongside its own draft event, the Evo Dart Goblin boasts identical stats to its standard counterpart but adds a potent poison effect. Each shot applies poison stacks, increasing damage over time. Additionally, a poison trail damages surrounding units and buildings, persisting even after the target's death. This lingering poison effect, creating a purple aura (turning red with increased damage upon sufficient hits), allows the Evo Dart Goblin to single-handedly defend strong pushes. Its primary weakness? Simple spells like Arrows or The Log easily eliminate it. However, its low elixir cost and quick evo cycle provide significant value with strategic play.
Consider these effective Evo Dart Goblin decks:
A popular and fast-paced archetype, Log Bait seamlessly integrates the Evo Dart Goblin. Its aggressive style complements the card perfectly.
Card Name | Elixir Cost |
---|---|
Evo Dart Goblin | 3 |
Evo Goblin Barrel | 3 |
Skeletons | 1 |
Ice Spirit | 1 |
Fire Spirit | 1 |
Wall Breakers | 2 |
Princess | 3 |
Mighty Miner | 4 |
This swift variant utilizes Mighty Miner and dual Spirits for rapid cycling. Evo Goblin Barrel serves as the primary win condition, with Wall Breakers providing backup. The lingering poison damage from the Evo Dart Goblin adds significant pressure, especially when outcycling opponent defenses. Its vulnerability lies in its lack of spell cards, making swarm counters challenging. However, its low average elixir cost allows for effective counterplay and elixir advantage. This deck features the Dagger Duchess Tower Troop.
The popularity of Goblin Drill decks stems from their aggressive, fast-paced gameplay. This variation leverages the Evo Dart Goblin for increased firepower and offensive pressure.
Card Name | Elixir Cost |
---|---|
Evo Wall Breakers | 2 |
Evo Dart Goblin | 3 |
Skeletons | 1 |
Giant Snowball | 2 |
Bandit | 3 |
Royal Ghost | 3 |
Bomb Tower | 4 |
Goblin Drill | 4 |
The synergy between Evo Wall Breakers and Evo Dart Goblin creates diverse offensive options and outplay potential. Wall Breakers distract, while the Dart Goblin snipes from afar. Targeting the opposite lane prevents counter-pushes. This deck prioritizes offense; while possessing a defensive building, its core consists of spam troops. Bandit and Royal Ghost offer limited tanking, but sustained attacks are key to victory. This deck utilizes the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Royal Recruits are notoriously difficult to counter. This deck enhances their pressure with the Evo Dart Goblin.
Card Name | Elixir Cost |
---|---|
Evo Dart Goblin | 3 |
Evo Royal Recruits | 7 |
Minions | 3 |
Goblin Gang | 3 |
Miner | 3 |
Arrows | 3 |
Mortar | 4 |
Skeleton King | 4 |
Unlike typical Recruits decks, this one uses Mortar as the primary win condition, with Miner as secondary. Skeleton King enables champion cycling. The strategy involves deploying Royal Recruits defensively, placing Mortar, using Skeleton King for lane control, and employing Miner to target defenses. Evo Dart Goblin serves a defensive role, countering opponent pushes. This deck features the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
The Evo Dart Goblin's impact on Clash Royale is undeniable. Experiment with these decks and create your own variations to find the perfect fit for your playstyle.
