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. Its low elixir cost and versatile nature make it a valuable addition to various deck archetypes. Though its evolution effect takes time to fully activate, it can significantly boost offensive and defensive capabilities. This guide explores some top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks.
Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin: A Deep Dive
The Evo Dart Goblin debuted alongside its own draft event. Its stats mirror the regular Dart Goblin, but its attacks trigger a unique evolution effect.
Each shot applies poison stacks to the target, increasing damage over time. Additionally, a poison trail damages nearby units and buildings. This trail persists for four seconds even after the target's death, creating a lingering area-of-effect (AoE) attack. A skilled player can use this to single-handedly defend a significant push. The poison effect is visually represented by a purple aura, turning red and significantly increasing damage after several hits.
Its main weakness remains vulnerability to spells like Arrows or The Log. However, its low elixir cost (3) and quick evolution cycle (2) allow for high value plays.
Top Evo Dart Goblin Decks in Clash Royale
Here are some of the best Evo Dart Goblin decks to try:
- 2.3 Log Bait
- Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
- Mortar Miner Recruits
Detailed breakdowns follow.
2.3 Log Bait
Log Bait is a highly popular archetype, quickly adopted for the Evo Dart Goblin. Its fast-paced, aggressive style synergizes perfectly.
Card Name
Elixir Cost
This 2.3 variant uses Mighty Miner and dual Spirits for rapid cycling. Evo Goblin Barrel serves as the primary win condition, with Wall Breakers as a fallback. The lingering poison damage from the Evo Dart Goblin adds significant pressure, allowing for advantageous elixir trades. Its weakness lies in its lack of spells, making it vulnerable to swarm counters. However, its low average elixir cost facilitates efficient counter-play. This deck utilizes the Dagger Duchess Tower Troop.
Goblin Drill Wall Breakers
Goblin Drill decks are favored for their aggressive playstyle. This variation incorporates the Evo Dart Goblin for enhanced offensive power.
Card Name
Elixir Cost
The Evo Wall Breakers and Dart Goblin combo provides diverse offensive options and strong outplay potential. Targeting the opposite lane prevents counter-pushes. This deck prioritizes offense; while having a defensive building, it relies on constant pressure to force opponent mistakes. Bandit and Royal Ghost provide limited tanking. This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Mortar Miner Recruits
Royal Recruits are notoriously difficult to counter. Adding the Evo Dart Goblin enhances this already potent pressure.
Card Name
Elixir Cost
Unlike many 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, followed by Mortar and Miner, while using the Evo Dart Goblin defensively. This deck uses the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
The Evo Dart Goblin's high damage and outplay potential make it a valuable addition to Clash Royale. Experiment with these decks and develop your own strategies to maximize its effectiveness.
