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 game-changing evolution effect. Each shot applies a poison stack to the target, increasing damage with each subsequent hit. Furthermore, a poison trail deals area damage to surrounding units and buildings. This trail persists even after the target's death, lasting four seconds. The poison's effect is visually represented by a purple aura around the target, turning red and significantly increasing damage after several hits. A single Evo Dart Goblin can impressively defend against a full Pekka Bridge Spam push if left unchecked. However, its vulnerability to Arrows or The Log remains a significant weakness.
Despite its fragility, the card's low three-elixir cost and rapid two-stack evolution cycle provide exceptional value with strategic deployment.
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
Details on each deck follow below.
2.3 Log Bait
Log Bait is a highly popular archetype, and the Evo Dart Goblin is a perfect fit for its fast-paced, aggressive nature. This 2.3 variant uses Mighty Miner and dual Spirits for rapid cycling. The Evo Goblin Barrel serves as the primary win condition, complemented by Wall Breakers for additional tower pressure. The Evo Dart Goblin's lingering poison damage on the tower adds significant pressure, especially when outcycling opponent defenses.
| 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 |
A weakness is its lack of spell cards, making it vulnerable to swarm counters. However, its low average elixir cost allows for effective counter-play and elixir advantage.
This deck utilizes the Dagger Duchess Tower Troop.
Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
Goblin Drill decks are known for their aggressive playstyle, and this variation incorporates the Evo Dart Goblin for increased firepower. 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, maximizing value. The strategy focuses on opposite lane attacks to prevent counter-pushes.
| 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 |
This deck prioritizes offense; while a defensive building is included, its core consists of spam troops. The Bandit and Royal Ghost provide limited tanking capabilities. Success relies on maintaining constant pressure, forcing opponent errors, and capitalizing on them.
This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Mortar Miner Recruits
Royal Recruits are notoriously difficult to defend against. This deck combines them with the Evo Dart Goblin for overwhelming pressure. The Mortar serves as the primary win condition, with the Miner as secondary support. The Skeleton King activates the champion cycle, accelerating access to Evo cards.
| 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 |
The typical offensive strategy begins with Royal Recruits, followed by Mortar deployment. The Skeleton King supports the other lane, while the Miner targets key defenses. The Evo Dart Goblin plays a defensive role, countering opponent pushes. This deck utilizes the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
The Evo Dart Goblin's high damage output and outplay potential make it a valuable addition to Clash Royale. Experiment with these decks and discover your optimal strategy. Remember, creating a deck perfectly tailored to your playstyle is key.
