The Clash Royale meta shifts dramatically with each new evolution card. The Evo Giant Snowball, while initially impactful, quickly became predictable. However, the Evo Dart Goblin is a different story. Its low elixir cost and versatile nature make it a valuable addition to various decks. While its evolution effect takes time to fully activate, it significantly boosts offensive and defensive capabilities. This guide explores top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks.
Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin Overview
Introduced alongside its own draft event, the Evo Dart Goblin boasts identical stats to its standard counterpart, but with a potent evolution effect. Each shot applies poison stacks to the target, increasing damage over time. Additionally, a poison trail damages surrounding units and buildings. This trail persists even after the target's death, lasting four seconds. A strategically placed Evo Dart Goblin can single-handedly defend a full-scale Pekka Bridge Spam push.
The poison effect creates a purple aura, turning red and significantly increasing damage after several hits. Its main weakness? Easily countered by Arrows or The Log. However, its three-elixir cost and quick evolution cycle provide substantial value with skillful play.
Best Evo Dart Goblin Decks in Clash Royale
Consider these top-performing Evo Dart Goblin decks:
- 2.3 Log Bait
- Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
- Mortar Miner Recruits
2.3 Log Bait
A popular archetype, Log Bait readily incorporates the Evo Dart Goblin. Its fast-paced, 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 2.3 Log Bait variant utilizes Mighty Miner and dual Spirits for rapid cycling. Evo Goblin Barrel serves as the primary win condition, with Wall Breakers offering backup. The lingering poison damage from the Evo Dart Goblin adds consistent pressure, especially when outcycling defenses. Its weakness lies in its lack of spell cards, making it vulnerable to swarm counters. However, its low average elixir cost allows for strategic counter-play and elixir advantage. This deck utilizes the Dagger Duchess Tower Troop.
Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
The popularity of Goblin Drill decks stems from their aggressive gameplay. This variation integrates the Evo Dart Goblin for enhanced firepower.
| 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 combined evolution of Wall Breakers and Dart Goblin provides 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 defensive structures exist, the focus remains on constant pressure and punishing opponent mistakes. This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Mortar Miner Recruits
Royal Recruits are notoriously difficult to defend against. Adding the Evo Dart Goblin enhances this already potent deck.
| 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 for faster Evo card access. The strategy involves deploying Royal Recruits defensively, placing Mortar, and using Skeleton King and Miner offensively. The Evo Dart Goblin plays a defensive role, countering opponent pushes. This deck utilizes 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.
