Dart Goblin Evolution in Clash Royale

This evolution will give the Dart Goblin a big upgrade, making it much stronger with a poison effect that deals increasing damage over time.

It works by shooting poisonous darts at enemies, which creates a toxic area that damages any troops standing in it. The longer the Dart Goblin locks onto a target, the more powerful the poison becomes, going through three damage tiers.

At Tier 1, it does 51 damage with each dart, and if it hits a Crown Tower, the damage is reduced to 12. When it hits the 4th dart, the damage increases to Tier 2 (115 damage), and after 7 darts, it hits Tier 3, doing 307 damage.

The poison has a 1.5-tile radius, smaller than other spells like Zap or Rocket, but it can still be very effective, especially against troop pushes behind a tank.

The damage tiers are triggered by specific darts, marked by a pink glow on the 1st, 4th, and 7th darts.

But there's a catch: the damage won’t increase if the Dart Goblin is locked onto a Crown Tower, although there’s a bug that sometimes lets it go past Tier 1 when the Dart Goblin retargets to a tower.

To evolve the Dart Goblin, you need to complete 2 cycles, meaning you’ll get an evolved version every 3 deploys.

You can unlock the evolution using Wild Shards, and those who buy the Diamond Pass Royale will get 6 Dart Goblin shards to unlock it. You can also find Dart Goblin shards through Level-Up Chests, Season Shops, or Lucky Drops in the future.
