Now, outside of niche decks, it's rarely seen. The Evo Dart Goblin, however, is a different story. This inexpensive cycle card excels in diverse decks. Although its evolution effect takes time to fully ramp up, it significantly boosts offensive and defensive capabilities in the right situations. This guide explores top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks for players struggling to integrate this card effectively.

Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin Overview
The Evo Dart Goblin debuted alongside its own draft event, giving many players early experience with its mechanics. Statistically identical to its standard counterpart, its unique evolution effect transforms its attacks. Each shot applies a poison stack to the target, increasing damage with each subsequent hit. Furthermore, a poison trail lingers, damaging nearby units and structures. This trail persists even after the target's death, lasting four seconds. A well-placed Evo Dart Goblin can single-handedly defend a full Pekka Bridge Spam push. The poison effect creates a purple aura around the target, turning red and significantly increasing damage after a certain number of hits. Its main weakness? Simple spells like Arrows or The Log easily eliminate it. However, its low three-elixir cost and quick two-stack evolution cycle offer significant value when used strategically.
Best Evo Dart Goblin Decks in Clash Royale
Here are some 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 hugely popular archetype, and the Evo Dart Goblin seamlessly integrates into its fast-paced, aggressive style.
| 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 uses Mighty Miner and dual 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 significantly increases pressure, especially when multiple hits land on the tower. A weakness is its lack of spell cards, making it vulnerable against strong 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 highly popular due to their aggressive nature. This variation incorporates the Evo Dart Goblin for enhanced 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 pressure points and outplay opportunities. Wall Breakers distract, while the Dart Goblin snipes from afar. Targeting the opposite lane maximizes effectiveness, preventing counter-pushes. This deck prioritizes offense; while a defensive building is included, the core strategy revolves around constant attacks and punishing opponent mistakes. Bandit and Royal Ghost provide limited tanking capabilities.
This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Mortar Miner Recruits
Royal Recruits are notoriously difficult to counter. This deck combines them with the Evo Dart Goblin for overwhelming lane pressure.
| 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 Recruit decks, this one utilizes Mortar as the primary win condition, with Miner as secondary. Skeleton King activates the champion cycle for faster Evo card access. The strategy involves deploying Royal Recruits at the back, followed by Mortar and Skeleton King in separate lanes. Miner targets key defensive structures. 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 provides additional protection for the Dart Goblin.
This deck uses the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
The Evo Dart Goblin's versatility and damage potential are undeniable. Experiment with these decks and create your own variations to find the perfect fit for your playstyle.
