Dart Goblin

"Runs fast, shoots far and chews gum. How does he blow darts with a mouth full of gum? Years of didgeridoo lessons."

Summary

 * The Dart Goblin is unlocked from the Jungle Arena (Arena 9).
 * He is a single-target, ranged troop with low hitpoints, moderate damage, fast fire rate, and moderate range.
 * A Dart Goblin card costs 3 Elixir to deploy.

Strategy

 * The Dart Goblin is best behind a tank (for example, a Knight or an Ice Golem). The tank will sponge all damage for the Goblin, and coupled with the Dart Goblin's high hit speed, can quickly take down a Crown Tower. However, due to the Dart Goblin having low hitpoints, it can be taken down easily with The Log or Arrows.
 * The Dart Goblin's fast hit speed allows it to take care of small swarms quickly.
 * He can also easily counter a Graveyard with the help of the Arena Tower.
 * If there are buildings that are 4 tiles or less away from the river on the opponent's side, you can use the Dart Goblin to attack those buildings from your side of the arena.
 * A Dart Goblin can be used to out-range the Inferno Tower and Cannon, which can make him an excellent asset in battle to destroy your opponent's defenses and further your plans.
 * Note that the Tesla cannot be out-ranged because it is only vulnerable when attacking.
 * However, if the Tesla placement is 4 tiles from the river and 2 tiles from the Arena Tower, the player can place the Dart Goblin at the very edge of the bridge and he will ignore the Tesla and target the Arena Tower.
 * His range and speed allow him to easily run and get some chip damage to a Crown Tower or even finish it off if it has very low hitpoints.
 * The Dart Goblin can take down a Balloon with the help of a Crown Tower but it will not stop the Balloon's death damage from damaging the Crown Tower. This can be prevented by using a Ice Spirit.

History

 * The Dart Goblin was added to the game on 13/1/17.

Trivia

 * The Dart Goblin and the Royal Giant share the same range, at 6.5 tiles.
 * The Dart Goblin, Lumberjack, and Witch have the same hit speed, at 0.7 seconds.
 * It's one of the 6 cards associated with Goblins, including Spear Goblins, Goblin Gang, Goblins, Goblin Barrel and Goblin Hut.
 * The Dart Goblin has the same hitpoints as a Princess at tournament standards.
 * The Dart Goblin can be thought of a larger Spear Goblin.
 * The Dart Goblin can be compared to Mega Minion, as they are both cards that spawn one larger unit compared to three smaller units.
