What's up everyone this is OJ

The goblin gang are literally goblins and spear goblins that cost 3 elixir

It counters sparky

Its very similar to skeleton army

they both cost the same but it is slightly more intimidating

The army can potentially deal more damage

There are those rare cases where you don't have any spells and they reach your tower

The gang is more threatening cause they can run a lot faster

The zap is not able to kill stab goblins

The gang is slightly harder to kill than Skeleton Army

Stab goblins will almost die to zap

but they are still incredibly threatening

With the goblin gang's elixir cost of three

the Tornado and Arrows are a fair exchange

And the log is a positive elixir trade

These three spells are the hard counters

Although they share similar functions with the skelet on army

The skeletons offers 1005 dps

While the gang dishes out 402 dps

On paper, the Skeleton army is more than twice as strong

but it takes time for every skeleton to lock into position

The goblin gang is almost as good for taking out a tank

The goblins do not shut down a hog rider

while the skeleton army can

Just because of their sheer numbers, they are able to obstruct the hog's path

The gang does let the hog strike the tower once

While the gang dies to the hog

The stab goblins aren't zappable

Despite the zap, the stab goblins will still be able to prevent more than one hit off of the tower

They are just as effective for taking out graveyard

but they are more comparable to minions in terms of reliability because they can survive the zap

And compared to Skeleton army, they don't melt under poison instantly

On the opposite lane,

a few goblins will bypass the building to chip away at the arena tower

While the other half will take out the spawner

Placing it one tile further on the edge,

Will allow more goblins to bypass the spawner dealing more damage to the tower

but it won't deal as much to the spawner

One elixir skeletons can almost entirely shut down a goblin barrel

for a positive elixir trade

Only one goblin survives to stab the tower once

At the moment with true red and blue issues,

we don't know if left and right is optimal.

Skeleton army does an even better job,

it completely shuts down the goblin barrel

Planting them in the back,

the skeletons walk forward and deal with the front goblins

If you can react fast enough,

the goblin gang completely shuts down the goblin barrel

without being harmed at all

At full health rushing the other lane, the opponent can't ignore them

Even with zap

They still do a pretty good job at stopping most of the goblin barrel...

...since the stab goblins don't die

When splitting the gang in the back,

they will always split equally.

Four (goblins) will go to the side you planted

and two will stray into the other lane

This holds true for the entire middle lane

From top to bottom,

they will always split forward in two no matter where you split them in the center

as long as both towers are alive

As a group, they are fairly strong.

Dishing out over 400 damage per second

they can counter the battle ram for a positive elixir trade

It is strong enough to take out barbarians as well

since the stab goblins can survive one swing from the barbarians

Against units that don't have splash damage

like a mini pekka and electro-wizard

It can defend against them pretty well

They can take out elite barbarians, but it will be very close

If you mess up,

a barbarian will slip and hit your tower

Just like skeleton army, this is a high-risk high-reward counter

because it is very vulnerable to zap and log

Since this is the first card in the game

that spawns both melee and range units at once

It is pretty decent at countering splash units like a valkyrie

She would have to spend three times

But if done right, she will have to spend 4 times

Despite the stab goblins not being able to shoot down air units,

they actually do a pretty decent job at taking a minion horde

for the spear goblins to take them out for a positive elixir trade

If you don't split the gang,

an air splasher unit like the baby dragon stands no chance against the gang

The stab goblins tank three shots, while the spear goblins just chip away

Ground splash units destroys the gang

They line up perfectly for the Executioner to take it out if you try to counter him directly from the front

To prevent the Executioner from reaching the tower,

you've got to surround him

Ever since the balance update,

His returning axe doesn't completely hit everything around him anymore.

But once the March update rolls out and fixes this,

expect surrounding him to be about as effective as surrounding a bowler

Against triple Musketeers,

they are going to get plowed down really fast

They are basically machine guns

Even against two musketeers

they don't exactly do a good job at countering them without the help of zap or the log

The rest of the video will be basic interactions
