Goblinstein
In recent months, there have been 2 clear content release patterns:
- 2 evolutions
- 1 evolution and 1 new card
Last Saturday we published the details of Evolved Electro Dragon, and today we bring a whole new card: Goblinstein!
Goblinstein is the 7th Champion to join Clash Royale, and will be available to unlock on October 7th, with the start of the new season.
The card description says the following:
It’s ALIVE!
Monster lumbers towards enemy buildings while Doctor waits to spring the trap. At the press of a button, Doctor electrifies the link between himself and Monster, frying nearby enemies!
- Elixir: 5
- Ability Elixir: 2
- Rarity: Champion

Card Stats
Goblinstein deploys 2 separate troops: Monster and Doctor; similar to Rascal Boy and Rascal Girls.
Goblinstein Monster
Firstly, Monster is deployed at the front and is a bigger troop, a tank that targets buildings. At tournament standard, the Goblinstein Monster has 2,752 HP.
Troop | HP | DPS | Damage |
---|---|---|---|
Ice Golem | 1,197 | 33.6 | 84 |
Knight | 1,766 | 168.3 | 202 |
Goblinstein Monster | 2,752 | 85.3 | 128 |
Goblin Giant | 3,232 | 117.3 | 176 |
Giant | 4,091 | 169.3 | 254 |
If we look at the stats, the closest reference we can find is the Goblin Giant (without the sack Spear Goblins).
Goblinstein Doctor
The Goblinstein Doctor spawns 3 tiles behind the monster. This is a ranged troop that attacks both Air and Ground targets.
Troop | HP | DPS | Damage | Range |
---|---|---|---|---|
Zappy | 530 | 55.2 | 116 | 4.5 |
Musketeer | 720 | 218 | 218 | 6.0 |
Goblinstein Doctor | 885 | 51.1 | 92 | 5.5 |
Archer Queen | 1,000 | 187.5 | 225 | 5.0 |
The attack is very similar to a single Zappy: very low DPS and a stun effect that resets attacks. The stun lasts for 0.5 seconds.
The HP is closer to the biggest ranged units, like Archer Queen. Doctor survives the direct damage from medium spells like Fireball or Poison.
Deployment and Splitting
The game engine technically spawns the Goblinstein Doctor after the Monster, although in practice, both are deployed simultaneously.
The deployment formation is slightly misaligned horizontally by 1 tile; which enables you to send the Monster in one lane and the Doctor in the other. You could expect this to create a new kind of asymmetry in the game, but the deployment formation actually changes based on the side of the arena you pick: the Doctor always spawns 1 tile closer to the centre of the arena.
During battles, you pick the deployment tile of Monster, and the deployment preview shows both troops.
Ability: Lightning Link
Electrifies the link, damaging any enemies that get near. Shocking!
Activating this ability costs 2 elixir, and creates an electric link between the Doctor and the Monster’s receiver. This link can be short if the Doctor is close behind the Monster, but it can also jump far across the arena if you chose the split-lane deployment.
It’s also interesting to know that this ability can be activated even after Monster is destroyed. When Monster is defeated, you’ll notice that he drops the receiver, and it remains glowing in the arena; the ability can also create an electric link with that receiver.
After the Doctor dies, you cannot activate the ability.
Lightning Link lasts for 5 seconds, and shocks targets every 0.5 seconds. For targets to receive the shock, they have to be up to 2 tiles away from the link.
Stat | Value |
---|---|
Duration | 5 s |
Hit Time | 0.5 s |
Damage Per Hit | 107 |
Tower DPH | 35 |
Range | 2 tiles |
Total DMG | 1070 |
Total Tower DMG | 350 |
For 2 elixir, the maximum amount of damage across the 5 seconds is quite significant, comparable to the big spells:
Spell | Damage | Tower Damage |
---|---|---|
Lightning | 1056 | 317 |
Lightning Link | 1070 | 350 |
Rocket | 1484 | 371 |
Given the building-targeting nature of the Monster, reaching the 2-tile distance to the tower could become a win-condition by itself.
