The use of Goblins... At all...

[Turnarcades]

On the yields I aim for in farming, also often clutching 50% for a little extra loot bonus, goblins are pointless. Most bases you want to hit for loot only, spamming barch will get all the collectors easy without taking up space with goblins, which are rarely needed. On those with slightly deeper storages or collectors, with a little care barch and BAM do the job better.

literally abandoned goblins at th3.

In lower townhall levels there extremely useful assuming you dont Care about trophies, my second account who th7 uses 2 giants 5-10 wallbreakers rest goblins plus 2 heal spells, that usually gets me into any base because they have less walls theres less compartments to get through so I bring back 100k of each with very little effort

Haven't used a single goblin since th6

I left them not upgraded at lvl4 and will leave them as the last thing to upgrade. My BAM army gets me 100% of loot most of the time(the rest wouldn't get even if I have goblins). I think 2 times in my entire time of raiding felt I need some goblin for that specific attack lol

Gobs can also be useful in luring CC's in war if there are storages/collectors within its radius. They run right past all of the distractor buildings!

^^^^^Yup, all of the above! I like to drop a couple goblins around an exposed th to see if any teslas gonna pop up, they are great are clearing bombs and traps and getting loot which is the main point of my game (50 skulls to go)!

Goblins are one of the most under rated troops in the game and are great addition to many armies and even bizarrely they are an awesome defence troop in the cc!

When i was storage farming in the silver to crystal lges a couple of years ago i would always take 50 or so goblins with me as they could rip through storages once the rest of your troops had cleared a path to them.

I also had a clan mate a few months back that used a cc composition of 15 archers, 5 barbs and 15 goblins for defence at around the 3600-3800 trophy range and it was scary seeing how quickly a bunch of 15 goblins could kill a max level hero! Key to the success of this was the varying speeds of the troops deployed as the goblins arrive first followed by the archers and then the barbs come in at the end this makes it difficult to clear them all with a lightning spell for example.

My Farming Comp:
16 Giants
8 Wall Breakers
40 Gobs
84 Archers

Rarely am I looting to gain elixir so anything 90k or over is fine with me since this comp costs 101k. I save my goblins for when the collectors are taken out by archers and I get into the storages. Typically the defenses are being distracted by giants so the goblins just decimate storages

The only way I would use goblins is if they replaced the skeletons inside of balloons. Mine are still lvl 3 lol

[romasanta]

I never use Gobs,, left them at level 3... But since reading this -- it has given me some great ideas, thanks guys!!

I think I wll include them and some few giants,, some rage spells, healing spells for DE hunting..

I think I will distarct def fist, then break some walls then send in the gobs to go straight for the DE.. I've seen some replays like that to me,

high level dudes who hunt me DE (I rarely get zapped) they get some gobs through my walls to the middle of my base with some barch and giants and heroes. and my base isnt half that bad (check out El Cid in our clan if you would like to clarify) so I guess gobs could be of some use.

This was the composition that took me to 3633.......goblins were key to the second star in most cases. Think dark storage near town halls.
