Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin Overview

The Evo Dart Goblin debuted alongside its own draft event, giving many players early experience with its mechanics. Its stats mirror the standard Dart Goblin, but its attacks trigger a unique evolution effect. Each shot applies a poison stack to the target, increasing damage with each hit. Furthermore, a poison trail damages surrounding units and buildings. This trail persists even after the target's death, lasting four seconds. The Evo Dart Goblin’s poison effect creates a purple aura around the target, turning red and significantly increasing damage after several hits. This card can single-handedly defend a full Pekka Bridge Spam push if left unchecked. Its primary weakness remains vulnerability to spells like Arrows or The Log. However, its low three-elixir cost and rapid two-stack evolution cycle offer substantial value with strategic play.

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 Clash Royale archetype. The Evo Dart Goblin's quick, aggressive nature fits this deck perfectly. This 2.3 variant uses Mighty Miner and dual Spirits for rapid cycling. Evo Goblin Barrel serves as the primary win condition, supported by Wall Breakers for additional tower damage. The Evo Dart Goblin's lingering poison damage on the tower adds significant pressure, particularly when outcycling opponent defenses. A weakness is its lack of spell cards, making it vulnerable to swarm counters. However, its low average elixir cost allows for efficient counter-play 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 enhanced firepower. The combined evolution of Wall Breakers and Dart Goblin provides versatile pressure and outplay potential. Wall Breakers distract while the Dart Goblin snipes from afar. The strategy focuses on attacking the opposite lane to prevent counter-pushes. This deck prioritizes offense; while a defensive building is included, all other cards are offensive troops. Bandit and Royal Ghost offer limited tanking, but consistent attacks are key to victory.

This deck utilizes the Tower Princess Tower Troop.

Mortar Miner Recruits

Royal Recruits are notoriously difficult to counter. This deck leverages their split-lane pressure alongside the Evo Dart Goblin. Unlike typical Recruit decks, this one uses Mortar as the primary win condition, with Miner as secondary. Skeleton King activates 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, while Miner targets key defenses. The Evo Dart Goblin plays a defensive role, countering opponent pushes. If The Log or Arrows are used against Goblin Gang or Minions, Skeleton King can provide additional support for the Dart Goblin.

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 explore your own creative combinations to find the perfect fit for your playstyle.
