Goblins

Hey guys Im a th9 here with lvl 6 barch, lvl 6 giants, level 5 goblins. My question for you guys is: for those of you who use goblins, have you always used them or just when you hit th 10 and were able to max them? As a th 9 I see no reason to use them when I have lvl 6 troops available. Any time I have used them I feel like my army is much weaker versus just using more barbs. This goes for both storage and collector raids, as I carry a few giants and wb with a barch/bag army to hit either I come across. Occasionally i use bam as well (lvl 5 minions).

Am I just using goblins the wrong way? Do those of you with lvl 7 barch still use lvl 6 goblins in your raids or is a higher level barch still superior? I see some people raving about how good goblins are and I just don't understand it.

P.s. I don't consider myself bad at raiding in general, just with goblins.
thanks

I take around 20 wit me, I Regularly BAG,BAM,Barch; (plus a lot of Giant-Archer-Gob) they are a great clean up for a juicy storage, esp under Rage or Heal spell.. though timing is critical. since they are a Resource priority troop, you need to use that to your strategic advantage. (the 2x damage on resource makes them a force IMO) and their speed too, they can chew up a collector or storage (in the right numbers) and move on before the mortar can fire twice.

so my advise is to wait until you NEED them. what is nice is they always go for resource first, so again use that for your strategy. as with any troop they need proper support typically Giants, to draw the fire of Wiz towers and Mortars while they do their thing.

so clear out the base with Barch or Giant variant, then when you need the goods throw in the Gobs.. 20 or so gobs can wreck a Dark storage tank if the turrets are distracted enough (or eliminated completely)

Never really used goblins... just Barch.

thanks for the advise. I will try that. just out of curiosity what level are your goblins?

i put 4wb in 2rax followed with barb... one rax archer, the last one with gobs..

i tend to finish my cooking with 8wb, 90-100 barb, 50-60 archer, 45-50 gobs


as said by AFRO

it is all about the right time to launch them.... but i tend to see them being great at getting storage (especially those juicy "vault" base type)

when i'll have giants, i'll use a few to take away more fire because it sure is that a mortar or wiz tower can screw up that swirl of goblins coming in fury

As a farmer, they prioritize what I prioritize: loot.

They are resistant to traps, can outrun mortar shells, do INCREDIBLE damage and don't get distracted by things that aren't loot.

I love those little guys.

I agree, they're a bit underrated. Everyone just barches or whatever. Goblins are great, borderline OP once leveled high enough.

yea ALMOST OP. Lvl 6 goblins DO NOT get one shotted by ANY max level splash damge which is cool. They are the 2nd strongest troop in the game. That alone makes them my favorite troop in the game period.

My main acct is a newer TH10 I havnt done the gobs yet so still lvl5 (dern Elix is hard to come by as a new TH10 post wall update anyhow) so Im saving for the Archer 7s, and did max my Gols and Minions in the mid term. I farm in C3-2 for the most part, there are a lot of zappers in the gold leagues Id rather look longer for loots then put up w/those zappy clowns. (tbh, the max Gobs are down the list for other more pertinent troops like Wiz and my freeze spell.)

on my Th9 acct almost all the troops are maxed for 9, cept PEKKA, (2) Gols (3) and Valks (2) and now Hounds.
But again, 5(lvl5) Gobs per barrax including the rest of your build, should work wonders on those storage tanks you can create a path to. if you see a collector base just use your Barch. I hunt in C2 on this acct busting up premies and TH8s..the 8 stand no chance against the lvl 6 Giant army variants.. (or loons) Gobs clean up nicely on those storages. like I said its about that 2x damage on resource with them Gobs. and clearing a path, plus distracting/eliminating the splash towers.

that said, WBs are your friend.. walls really slow the Gobbies and Giants down...(not to mention Royals !!)
Good Luck monn

yeah i use 8 wb 12 giants 24 gobs 60/60 barch. Adding gobs helps a lot and they're fun to use.

Th9 btw
