Runs fast, shoots far and chews gum. How does he blow darts with a mouth full of Double Trouble gum? Years of didgeridoo lessons.
Dart Goblin battle strategy
At 3 elixir, Dart Goblin plays as a Rare troop that targets air & ground. Released in 2017, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.
Opening plays and tempo
Lead with Dart Goblin when you can float 3 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.
Support combinations
Pair Dart Goblin with spells or support troops that amplify a troop's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.
Defensive flip
Hold Dart Goblin for air & ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.
Synergies and deck ideas
Cheap cycle cards help you get back to Dart Goblin whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.
Mix Dart Goblin with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.
Playing around counters
Identify hard counters early
Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut Dart Goblin down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.
Spell safety
Avoid stacking Dart Goblin near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.
Upgrade priorities
Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling Dart Goblin so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
