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 excels in various deck archetypes, significantly boosting offensive and defensive capabilities, even if its Evo effect takes time to fully activate. This guide explores top-tier Evo Dart Goblin decks.
Clash Royale Evo Dart Goblin Overview
Introduced with its own draft event, the Evo Dart Goblin boasts identical stats to its standard counterpart but adds a potent Evo effect. Each shot applies poison stacks to the target, increasing damage with each hit. A poison trail also damages surrounding units and buildings. This trail persists even after the target's death, lasting four seconds. A well-placed Evo Dart Goblin can single-handedly defend a full-scale Pekka Bridge Spam push. The poison effect creates a purple aura, turning red and significantly increasing damage after multiple hits.
Its primary weakness? Arrows or The Log easily eliminate it. However, its three-elixir cost and two-cycle Evo makes it highly valuable with smart play.

Royal Recruits are notoriously difficult to counter. Adding the Evo Dart Goblin enhances this already potent deck.

This deck utilizes the Cannoneer Tower Troop.
