How the Evolved Dart Goblin Works
First things first, it takes two cycles before you can deploy the evolved Dart Goblin. In terms of base stats, it’s identical to the regular Dart Goblin. However, the evolved version introduces Poisonous Darts, which inflict poison damage on impact. This poison becomes stronger the longer the Dart Goblin remains alive. Before we get into it further, be sure to check out how to evolve cards in Clash Royale.
Every shot applies poison damage, and its effects intensify as follows:
- Tier 1: 51 DPS after the first dart.
- Tier 2: 115 DPS after the fourth dart.
- Tier 3: 307 DPS after the seventh dart.
Additionally, the poison lingers around the target, creating a cloud that deals damage to nearby troops. For example, when targeting a Giant, the poison damage increases with consecutive shots, rapidly weakening it. Even more interesting, the poison affects an area, damaging troops behind the Giant, like Barbarians, even though they aren’t directly targeted.
The poison cloud also affects towers, lingering around them and dealing damage over time, adding a unique strategic element to this evolution.
Strategic Impact of Clash Royale Dart Goblin Evolution
Evolved Dart Goblin is the perfect counter against any tank and clustered enemy troops as it has an area damage capability and the remaining capacity to poison. It will be important as a unit to break defenses and turn the tide of battles. Players may also include cards with splash damage or control to counter it.
This evolution not only enhances the Dart Goblin’s offensive capabilities but also introduces a fresh dynamic to Clash Royale’s ever-evolving meta. Players will need to adapt their strategies to harness or counter its power effectively. How it fits the meta will determine whether it’s amongst the best evolutions in Clash Royale.
