How to use Goblins in Clash of Clans

Goblin is one and only resources targeting and the fourth troop you can unlock in the clash of clans. Let's find out here what this tiny green creature can do in Clash of clans.

How goblin work in Clash of Clans

1. Goblin is a ground troop which is only targeting nearest resource buildings like the elixr collector, gold mine, dark drills, storages, and townhall. 
2. It deals double damages to those resource buildings.
3. It can also destroy other normal buildings once all those resource buildings are cleared up.
4. As like targetting normal buildings, it won't attack enemy troops even when nearest friendly troops got attacked until all the resource buildings are cleared up.
5. Another ability of goblin is its speed, having 32 as its game speed it can pass 4 tiles per second. Which makes goblin as the fastest ground troop in Clash of clans.
6. At the same time having low hit points makes it vulnerable to the splash damaging defenses like mortar and wizard tower.
