The Clash Royale meta dramatically shifts with each new evolution card release. 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. Its low elixir cost and versatile nature make it a valuable addition to various deck archetypes. While its evolution effect takes time to fully activate, it significantly boosts offensive and defensive capabilities. This guide explores several 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 standard counterpart but adds a potent poison effect to its attacks. Each shot applies poison stacks to the target, increasing damage over time. Furthermore, a poison trail damages surrounding units and buildings. This trail persists even after the target's death, lasting four seconds. The poison effect creates a purple aura around the target, turning red and significantly increasing damage after several hits. A single Arrows or Log spell easily eliminates it, but its low elixir cost (3) and quick two-cycle evolution make it highly valuable when used strategically.
Top Evo Dart Goblin Decks in Clash Royale
Consider these strong Evo Dart Goblin deck options:
- 2.3 Log Bait
- Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
- Mortar Miner Recruits
2.3 Log Bait
A highly 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 rapid-fire variant utilizes Mighty Miner and dual Spirits for swift attacks. Evo Goblin Barrel serves as the primary win condition, with Wall Breakers providing backup. The lingering poison damage from the Evo Dart Goblin adds significant pressure, especially when outcycling enemy defenses. Its vulnerability lies in its lack of spell cards, making swarm counters challenging to overcome. 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
Goblin Drill decks are known for their aggressive playstyle. This variation integrates the Evo Dart Goblin for enhanced firepower and offensive 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. The deck prioritizes offense; while defensive buildings exist, the focus remains on constant attacks and punishing opponent mistakes. This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Mortar Miner Recruits
Royal Recruits' split-lane pressure is amplified by the Evo Dart Goblin in this 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 uses Mortar as the primary win condition, with Miner as secondary. Skeleton King activates champion cycling. The strategy involves deploying Royal Recruits at the back, followed by Mortar and Miner, while using the Evo Dart Goblin defensively. This deck uses the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
The Evo Dart Goblin's impact on Clash Royale is undeniable. Experiment with these decks and discover your optimal strategy. Remember to personalize your deck for your unique playstyle.
