The Clash Royale meta dramatically shifts with each new evolution card. While the Evo Giant Snowball had its moment, it's now rarely seen. The Evo Dart Goblin, however, is a game-changer. Its low elixir cost and versatile nature make it a valuable addition to various decks. Although its evolution effect takes time to build, it significantly boosts offensive and defensive capabilities. This guide explores top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks.
Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin: A Deep Dive
The Evo Dart Goblin debuted with its own draft event. It possesses identical stats to its standard counterpart but adds a potent evolution effect to its attacks.
Each shot applies poison stacks to the target, increasing damage with each hit. A poison trail also damages surrounding units and buildings. This trail persists for four seconds even after the target's demise, creating a lingering area-of-effect (AoE) attack. A skilled player can single-handedly defend a full-scale Pekka Bridge Spam push with the Evo Dart Goblin.
The poison effect manifests as a purple aura, turning red and significantly boosting damage after several hits. However, its weakness is its vulnerability to spells like Arrows or The Log. Despite this, its three-elixir cost and rapid evolution cycle offer exceptional value with strategic play.
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
2.3 Log Bait
Log Bait is a highly popular archetype, quickly adopted for 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 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, allowing for outcycling key defenses. Its weakness lies in its lack of spell cards, making it vulnerable to swarm counters. However, its low average elixir cost allows for effective counterplay and elixir advantage. This deck utilizes the Dagger Duchess Tower Troop.
Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
Goblin Drill decks are popular for their aggressive playstyle. 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. Optimal strategy involves targeting the opposite lane, preventing counter-pushes. This deck prioritizes offense; while possessing a defensive building, it relies on constant pressure to force opponent mistakes. Bandit and Royal Ghost provide minimal tanking. 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 deck's pressure significantly.
| 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 at the back, followed by Mortar and Skeleton King in opposite lanes, with Miner targeting defenses. Evo Dart Goblin provides defense, countering opponent pushes. This deck uses the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
The Evo Dart Goblin's damage output and outplay potential are undeniable. Experiment with these decks and personalize them to your playstyle. Remember to explore unique card combinations to create your perfect deck.
