The Clash Royale meta dramatically shifts with each new evolution card. While the Evo Giant Snowball had its moment, it's now less prevalent. The Evo Dart Goblin, however, is a different story. Its low elixir cost and versatile nature make it a valuable addition to various decks. Although its evolution effect takes time to build, it can significantly boost offensive and defensive capabilities. This guide explores some top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks.
Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin: A Closer Look
Introduced alongside its own draft event, the Evo Dart Goblin boasts identical stats to its regular counterpart, but with a potent evolution attack.
Each shot applies poison stacks to the target, increasing damage with each hit. A poison trail also surrounds the target, damaging nearby units and structures. This trail persists for four seconds even after the target's death. A skilled player can effectively defend a full Pekka Bridge Spam push with the Evo Dart Goblin alone.
The poison effect creates a purple aura, turning red and exponentially increasing damage after several hits. However, its weakness remains: Arrows or The Log can easily eliminate it. Despite this, its three-elixir cost and quick two-cycle evolution provide significant value with strategic play.
Top Evo Dart Goblin Decks in Clash Royale
Here are some compelling Evo Dart Goblin deck options:
- 2.3 Log Bait
- Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
- Mortar Miner Recruits
Detailed Deck Analyses:
2.3 Log Bait
A popular archetype, Log Bait readily incorporates the Evo Dart Goblin, complementing its fast-paced, aggressive style.
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 two 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 on the tower adds significant pressure, especially when outcycling opponent defenses. Its vulnerability lies in its lack of spell cards, making it susceptible to swarm counters. However, its low average elixir cost allows for effective counter-play and elixir advantage. This deck features the Dagger Duchess Tower Troop.
Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
Goblin Drill decks are known for their aggressive playstyle. This variation integrates the Evo Dart Goblin for enhanced firepower and constant 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 Evo Wall Breakers and Dart Goblin combination 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 having a defensive building, its core consists of spam troops. Bandit and Royal Ghost act as mini-tanks, but consistent attacks are key to victory. This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Mortar Miner Recruits
Royal Recruits are notoriously difficult to counter. Adding the Evo Dart Goblin amplifies this deck's pressure.
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 uses Mortar as the primary win condition, with Miner as secondary. Skeleton King enables champion cycling. The strategy involves deploying Royal Recruits at the back, following with Mortar and Skeleton King in separate lanes, and using Miner to eliminate defenses. Evo Dart Goblin plays a defensive role, countering opponent attacks. This deck features the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
The Evo Dart Goblin's impact is undeniable. Experiment with these decks and create your own variations to find the perfect fit for your playstyle.
