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. This inexpensive cycle card seamlessly integrates into various deck archetypes, significantly boosting offensive and defensive capabilities, despite its evo effect's ramp-up time. This guide explores top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks.
Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin Overview
Introduced alongside its own draft event, the Evo Dart Goblin boasts identical stats to its standard counterpart but features a unique evo attack.
Each shot inflicts poison stacks on the target, accumulating damage. Additionally, a poison trail damages surrounding units and structures. This trail persists for four seconds even after the target's demise, creating a lingering area-of-effect. A fully charged Evo Dart Goblin can single-handedly repel a Pekka Bridge Spam push.
The poison effect manifests as a purple aura, escalating to red and exponentially increased damage after multiple hits.
Its primary weakness? Arrows or The Log easily eliminate it. However, its three-elixir cost and rapid two-cycle evo make it highly valuable with strategic deployment.

This deck prioritizes offense. While Bomb Tower offers defense, the core strategy relies on constant attacks, forcing opponent errors. Bandit and Royal Ghost act as mini-tanks. 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 pressure.

Unlike many Recruits 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.
