Hi Everyone, I recently upgraded my goblins and I want to learn the most effective gob knife composition. I am upgrading both my heroes. So both heroes are down. I am also confused about whether I should use jump or 4 eq spells to direct the troops to centre.
Hoping many replies
Thanks for your time guys
my goblin knife comp-12 giant/10 wiz/8 wb/104 goblin,spell 3 heal/4 quake .i use quake for goblin knife because i prefer heal over rage..heal cheaper than rage and keep goblin knife alive longer if DE storage within splash damage area
OK Should I take some archers/barbs as well
I use 15 - 20 giants, 10 wiz for funnel (or swap for 20 - 30 archers) 8 wbs and the rest goblins.
Giants tank whilst wiz cut funnel, wb in to first compartment then jump all gobs to the de storage. Heal and rage if required.
That comp helps collector raids too, giants tank whilst gobs empty, no spells required.
I would skip the barbs in any goblin knife army. The biggest argument you'll see is over taking wizards or archers or just more goblins. Goblins work fine as a funneling troop, because they'll focus on just the resource buildings which is all you really need to make goblins go into the core. Using wizards or archers means you have to wait for them to clear other trash as well.
That being said, I take 34 archers for the times when a second drill is right behind a wall. I funnel my giants and gobs into the core through one drill, then save a tank for the 2nd drill while archers pick it off over the wall.
My army: 16 giants, 34 archers, 8 wallbreakers, rest goblins. 1 heal, 1 rage, 4 quake, and 1 poison. I prefer quad quake because I mess up the timing on jump spell all the time. If you're more comfortable with jump spell, I wouldn't argue with you.
I use variants depending on how much of the other loot I want but for me a typical comp is.
8 Giants, 6 WB, 6 Wizards, 20 Archers, the rest goblins. 2 Heal, 1 Rage, 1 Jump, poison or skeleton.
I use the Giants, Wiz, Wall Breakers and 1 Heal (only if needed) to clear an outer section and path to the core. Jump spell on core, 3 finger drop gobs heal/rage to gut core in second. Archers are for CC kill or pick off exposed collectors/mines.
But there are a ton of variants that can be used. There is something of a learning curve on the attack as to what bases are good and what are not but once you get it down it's a great cheap army for pulling in DE and keeping heroes down.
You don't need CC troops but Giants, Wizards, Bowlers are all great additions if you get them.
Thanks guys but I AM EXPECTING some more replies.
