The Clash Royale meta dramatically shifts 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, despite its evo effect's ramp-up time. This guide explores top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks.
Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin: A Deep Dive
Introduced alongside its own draft event, the Evo Dart Goblin mirrors its standard counterpart in stats. Its unique selling point lies in its secondary evo effect: each shot applies poison stacks to the target, increasing damage with each hit. Furthermore, a poison trail damages surrounding units and buildings. This trail persists for four seconds even after the target's demise, creating a lingering area-of-effect. A single Evo Dart Goblin can even solo-defend a Pekka Bridge Spam push if left unchecked. The poison aura around the target intensifies, turning red and exponentially increasing damage after multiple hits. Its primary weakness remains vulnerability to Arrows or The Log. However, its three-elixir cost and two-cycle evo makes it highly valuable when strategically deployed.
Top 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
Detailed breakdowns follow.
2.3 Log Bait
Log Bait's popularity surged with the Evo Dart Goblin's release, its fast-paced, aggressive style synergizing 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 providing backup damage. The Evo Dart Goblin's lingering poison damage on the tower adds significant pressure, particularly when outcycling enemy defenses. Its weakness lies in its lack of spell cards, making swarm counters problematic. However, its low average elixir cost facilitates elixir advantage and counter-play. This deck utilizes the Dagger Duchess Tower Troop.
Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
The Goblin Drill's popularity stems from its aggressive, fast-paced nature. This variation incorporates the Evo Dart Goblin for increased firepower and spam potential.
| 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 combo 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, relying on constant pressure to force mistakes. Bandit and Royal Ghost offer limited tanking. This deck utilizes the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Mortar Miner Recruits
Royal Recruits' split-lane pressure is notoriously difficult to counter. Adding the Evo Dart Goblin enhances this already potent strategy.
| 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 facilitates champion cycling. The strategy involves deploying Royal Recruits, followed by Mortar and Miner, while utilizing Skeleton King and Evo Dart Goblin defensively. The Evo Dart Goblin provides defensive support and counter-pressure. This deck utilizes the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
The Evo Dart Goblin's impact on Clash Royale is undeniable. Experiment with these decks and personalize them to match your playing style.
