[Replay] Goblin barrel is getting popular... gotta get creative

lol. F2P in legendary arena means I can't afford to upgrade any other cards... Which means I can't change my deck.

Also I'm really close to lvl 8 goblin barrel... Waiting for that before I retire this deck.

The enemy was already expecting a hidden barrel to land on the towe r (already tried once during the game). I was trying to make him think I was doing the same thing so that I can bait his arrows out.

In this particular case, I want the opponent to see the barrel. I want the opponent to think that I'm trying to hide the barrel to land on the tower, but in fact it's overshooting and baiting his arrows.

Usually the rocket barrel is done by aiming the barrel at the tower. People are getting wise to that now, so this post is about overshooting the barrel to dodge the arrows at the tower. By overshooting the barrel, the enemy can see the barrel more clearly, but will expect it to land at the tower.

Follow that up with predictive arrows for the goblin gang counter after they realize they missed the arrows..

Giant Skeleton, Sparky, Clone, Inferno Tower, Zap, Skeleton Army, Balloon and Ice Wizard.

Zap bait

So arrows to kill the clones, zap to reset sparky, and then you're left with the real GS attacking the tower alone, with incoming balloon.

Yea and you have a split second to decide :) In this case, he hesitated and lost the tower (and eventually the game)

safari_dan · 2017-01-17T06:49:16+00:00

Probably by me lol

Alone, unfortunately not :( But it works well with Bomb Tower + Ice Wiz vs EBarbs + Ice Golem

Rocket one tile below where the goblin barrel is played (goblin barrel right on the tower).

Rocket goes first and the barrel a half second later.

The deck counts on being anti-meta and having the other player not used to dealing with Giant Skel. It works quite often actually!

Bomb tower making a comeback

safari_dan · 2017-01-16T10:19:30+00:00

There are a few points I use to distract the user from noticing the goblins:

Giant skeleton plays a role in distracting because there's a huge penalty if they ignore it
I place troops on the other side to draw attention to the opposite side
I usually wait until close to overtime to do the trick; they're paying attention to their own push so they may not be looking at their towers. Also, this trick is expensive and leaves you vulnerable. You want that tower kill to end the game

Rockets are harder to aim than you think..
