Goblin Hut

“Defensive building that spawns Spear Goblins when enemies are in range. Don't look inside... you don't want to see how they're made.”

The Goblin Hut is a Rare card that is unlocked from the Goblin Stadium (Arena 1). It spawns a single-target, long-ranged, building with high hitpoints. Every 1.9 seconds, the Goblin Hut will summon a Spear Goblin when an enemy is within range. When defeated, it will also spawn a Spear Goblin. It appears as a wooden hut on a stone foundation with a thatched roof that has a team-colored chimney on top, which is surrounded by wooden planks on each side, two horns protruding from the sides, three spears near the entrance, two on the right and one on the left, with a rope tied to each of them, and a small team-colored skull at the bottom used as a decoration. A Goblin Hut card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.

Strategy[]

The Goblin Hut should be placed on either side of the player's territory, as the spawned Spear Goblins will target the closest enemy cards or Crown Towers on the respective side on which the Goblin Hut is placed.
As with any spawner, the player should not allow a Goblin Hut user to build up spawners. If the opponent's Goblin Huts do accumulate, then the opponent will be gaining a passive Elixir advantage all the while.
Unless the Goblin Hut had already been planted, it is not possible to counter a Sparky efficiently with this because of the spawned unit's range.
The Goblin Hut can spawn up to 17 Spear Goblins, creating a maximum profit of 2.83 Elixir. It is advised to place troops with high hitpoints such as the Giant, Giant Skeleton, P.E.K.K.A, or Golem to shield the Spear Goblins so that they can accumulate behind the tank, build up a strong push, and yield a higher damage potential.
The player should avoid attacking directly towards a Goblin Hut with building-targeting troops like a Giant, Hog Rider, Elixir Golem, Lava Hound, or Golem, otherwise the Spear Goblins will accumulate quickly and they would be able to counterattack after the tank is defeated.
Since the Spear Goblins deal little damage, the opponent will likely ignore them to an extent, allowing the Spear Goblins to slowly damage their Crown Towers. All Spear Goblins can hit the Tower at least once even if the Crown Tower can take them out in one shot.
A common strategy is to place the Goblin Hut at the back of the player's own territory to make sure enemy troops don't attack it, though this is vulnerable to spells which can generate an Elixir profit if they also hit the Tower, with Rocket, Lightning and Earthquake being the most dangerous examples. Placing it in front of a King Tower is a good way to prevent the Rocket from affecting both a Crown Tower and the Goblin Hut, though Lightning, Poison, and Earthquake can still be deployed in such a way that it can hit both the Crown Tower and the building.
Another strategy is to play it in the middle of the player's field between the river and the King's Tower and between the two Crown Towers. This will pull incoming troops away from a Crown Tower and allow for more time to counter, as well as have your Crown Tower take less damage. This is especially useful before Double Elixir time, when spawners normally aren't as powerful.
- If one is desperate enough, they can deploy the Goblin Hut in front of their Crown Tower. The Goblin Hut will also act as a temporary shield to draw away troops from the tower. However, this can be countered by most spells, as all damaging spells but Freeze destroy equal-Level Spear Goblins instantly.
The Goblin Hut can also be used to counter other spawning buildings, such as the Tombstone, or Barbarian Hut, as the spawned Spear Goblins will quickly destroy the enemy melee troops with their range.
A Goblin Hut can easily be destroyed or heavily damaged with spell cards such as the Goblin Barrel or Rocket.
Poison is effective against it due to its long duration, allowing the spell to damage the Hut and the spawned Spear Goblins. Its radius is also often large enough to allow it to also chip at a Crown Tower. However, a Goblin Hut user may take advantage of the used Poison and try strategies that would be weakened by Poison, such as a Graveyard push. Therefore, the player should only use Poison on the Goblin Hut if they do not need it to counter a more threatening card.
The Goblin Hut can be used with other spawners like the Barbarian Hut, Tombstone, or Furnace, to overwhelm the opponent. This is known as a Spawner strategy and works at all Levels. This deprives the opponent of any Elixir as they must constantly defend against the spawned troops, leaving the player free to devastate them.
The Goblin Hut is most effective during the double Elixir period. During this stage, it is possible to put down multiple Goblin Huts very quickly, and overwhelm the opponent with mass numbers. However, remember that a Spear Goblin push can easily be countered with an area damage spell or troop such as the Wizard, Witch, Goblin Demolisher, Arrows, or The Log.
The Goblin Hut is rather ineffective against Bowlers, Firecrackers, Evolved Bombers, and Executioners, since their projectiles have the ability to not only destroy the building but also to destroy the recently spawned Spear Goblins.
Long range or air attackers like a Magic Archer, Dart Goblin, Musketeer, Princess, Evolved Archers, or a Flying Machine can snipe down a Goblin Hut placed in the center of the opponent's side without getting in range of the Crown Towers. This will not work if the Goblin Hut is placed farther back closer to their King's Tower, but this means that it will be more difficult for it to distract building targeting troops, giving the player a chance to attack.
While the Bomb Tower cannot counter the Goblin Hut itself, it will counter the Spear Goblins that spawn from it. However, since the Spear Goblins are ranged and move fast, the Bomb Tower will take some damage and will be destroyed before the Goblin Hut expires.
In a pinch, the player can use spells like Zap, Giant Snowball, or The Log to defeat multiple Spear Goblins that were accumulated from the Goblin Hut. This is most recommended doing when the lane needs to be cleared from the Spear Goblins so that troops like a Prince, Mighty Miner, P.E.K.K.A, Inferno Dragon, Sparky, Elite Barbarians, or Mini P.E.K.K.A. can attack more potent targets.
- Against a Goblin Hut that is low on health, The Log can will not only finish off the Goblin Hut but also destroy the Spear Goblin that spawns upon the building's destruction.
- The Barbarian Barrel can destroy a low-hitpoint Goblin Hut similarly to The Log, and spawns a Barbarian to attack the Crown Towers. However, it cannot reach the Goblin Hut if it is placed too deep within the enemy's territory.
The Goblin Hut is affected by Rage, technically allowing it to produce extra waves. However, its lifetimer decays more quickly under a Rage spell's effect, and as a result, only 1 extra wave will be produced with the help of Rage. This is a 2 Elixir investment for a equivalent return value of 0.66 Elixir, and thus is an ineffective strategy to use.
In the Rage Challenge, all buildings' (including the Goblin Hut's) lifetimes are unaffected, but in Goblin Hut's case, the Troop producing speed is, allowing it to produce up to 4 waves of Spear Goblins instead of the usual 3 in the challenge.
The reworked Goblin Hut has the potential to spawn an enormous swarm of Spear Goblins if used correctly, making it effective for counterpushes. For instance, if you use a tank to defend against a Mega Knight and place a Goblin Hut nearby, the number of Spear Goblins will accumulate rapidly, and provided that the Mega Knight never reaches the Spear Goblins, you could potentially end up with around 7 or more Spear Goblins overwhelming the enemy defenses, especially if your tank is still alive.

Trivia[]

Goblins are small, grotesque, monstrous creatures that appear in the folklore of multiple European cultures. First attested in stories from the Middle Ages, they are ascribed conflicting abilities, temperaments, and appearances depending on the story and country of origin, ranging from mischievous household spirits to malicious, bestial thieves.
