What are the five best Clash Royale decks for Goblinstein?

Goblinstein Ram Rider deck

  • PEKKA (Evo)
  • Zap (Evo)
  • Goblinstein
  • Ram Rider
  • Ice Wizard
  • Arrows
  • Skeletons
  • Tornado

Goblinstein Ram Rider is probably the deck of the lot, as it has everything you need. Starting with offense, the PEKKA and Ram Rider combination is already lethal, and with the Goblinstein, it becomes overkill. Your main line of attack is Ram Rider, and you have to leave the job of an all-rounder to PEKKA.

For defense, you have the solid combination of Ice Wizard and Tornado, which complements your major defense card PEKKA. In case your opponent drops swarm troops, Arrows is the answer. Goblinstein is also a golden all-rounder and should be your priority in terms of defending against the attack of enemy troops. Use Skeletons to distract the enemies so that PEKKA gets some breathing space.

Goblin Giant PEKKA deck

  • Goblin Giant (Evo)
  • PEKKA (Evo)
  • Goblinstein
  • Fisherman
  • Bomber
  • Guards
  • Rage
  • Arrows

The Goblin Giant and PEKKA combo attack is a lethal push, which has a slim chance to counter. You can complement this push with Bomber and Rage to make it completely unstoppable. 

For defense, you must know how to place Fisherman strategically as he pulls his enemy towards him. Try to use PEKKA to tank the enemy push and use the guards behind them to catch them off guard. You must keep Arrows in handy in case you are overwhelmed with swarm troops. 

Mortar Miner deck

  • Mortar (Evo)
  • Miner 
  • Goblinstein
  • Bats (Evo
  • Cannon Cart
  • Goblin Gang
  • Ice Wizard
  • Arrows

The Mortar Miner deck has good potential to help you climb ladders in the ranked mode. For offense, use the Mortar and Goblinstein combo to directly attack the enemy’s towers. Use Bats, Cannon Cart, or Goblin Gang to defend your Mortar. Make sure to keep using the Miner for some extra chip damage that can help you destroy the tower more easily.

For defense, use the swarm troops, such as the Goblin Gang and Bats, to overwhelm your opponent. Ice Wizard might be a little weak in combat, but his ability to slow enemies can come in handy. Also, keep using the Goblinstein to weaken the enemy push.

Goblinstein Hog 2.8 Cycle

  • Hog Rider
  • Goblinstein
  • Firecracker (Evo)
  • Earthquake
  • Cannon
  • The Log
  • Ice Spirit
  • Skeletons (Evo)

Anyone who is using the Hog 2.6 cycle will have a basic idea of how to use the Goblinstein Hog 2.8 cycle. For offense, use the combination of Hog Rider and Ice Spirit to do a push, and make sure to use your The Log or Earthquake in case your opponent counters it with swarm troops. 

For defense, use the combination of Cannon, Firecracker, and Goblinstein to defend the enemy push. Keep using the Ice Spirit for defense as it freezes the enemy push for a second. Your defense will become even stronger as you move into 2x Elixir or 3x Elixir mode. 

Goblinstein RHogs deck

  • Goblinstein
  • Giant Skeleton
  • Royal Hogs
  • Royal Ghost
  • Fisherman
  • Arrows
  • Bomber (Evo)
  • Skeletons (Evo)

In the Goblinstein RHogs deck, you don’t have to use the Goblinstein as an all-rounder. Your sole objective in this deck is to keep pushing with the Royal Hogs. For offense, use the combination of Giant Skeleton and Royal Hogs, and since it is such a big push, the only way to minimize it is with the swarm troops. Don’t worry, you can easily deal with them with Arrows.

Once you have taken the enemy’s tower, all you have to do is defend until the time runs out. What’s even better is that you have better defensive cards in your repertoire that can help you defend against any enemy push easily.

For defense, use the combination of Bomber and Fisherman to split the enemy push. Also, on top of that, you can even use Skeletons to distract enemies. You can use Giant Skeleton, Goblinstein, or Royal Ghost to tank the enemy push.
