Actually there are other areas to rant about about general balance moans (or start one yourself) this is a goblin themed post (and how to beat them) šŸ˜„ ---

> [@LegendMaker](#): > > ā€¦Goblin line-ups used to reign supreme in 1.0.7 The new patch went live on the xbox console yesterday. Iā€™ve been having problems in PVP since before the patch, but now it seems Iā€™m getting matched against even more difficult and higher levels than ever before. Thank goodness for the _scouting_ feature now šŸ˜„ Anyhow, until now Iā€™ve been using teams with themes, e.g. _vampires_ because I really think that makes games like this, MTG, etc, just that much more fun. Well, that isnā€™t working anymore sadly ā˜¹ Long story short, Iā€™m trying a goblin team. Iā€™ve been racking up defense losses at an astounding rate. I am able to take some weak teams down in PVP via the scouting feature. I know everyone _hates_ goblin teams, but Iā€™m new to the game and Iā€™d like to try it out. Can someone walk me through step by step, the team, order, strategy, etc. that is best? Keep in mind, this is on the console, and I donā€™t think we have the rocket guy? Not sure if that is an event troop? In any event, Iā€™m sure someone must know? ---

After 1.0.8, i defended too many goblin teams. Even though defended successfully but Iā€™m still sick with this team. ---

I fight goblins with goblins. My team is Boar Rider, Goblin Crusher, Hobgoblin and Goblin Shaman. I realize that not everyone will have Goblin Crusher, but a 30-point hit certainly makes short work of the traited teams, even that maxed out one that Charles has been running. Mind you, Iā€™m speaking of invasion/revenge battles, not defense. However, this team has not and never will be my defense team, and itā€™s only my invasion team when I have to fight other goblins. ---

Just as an aside, since people keep mentioning his name here, Charles is actually running a Gloom Leaf/Herdmaster/Sheggraā€™s Heart/Sheggra team at the moment, not goblins. ---

Yes - and itā€™s practically worse than his goblins (omg lol) since his Gloomleaf has full traits +3 armor when defending in pvp, gain 2 life on 4/5 matches and the worst (for us) reduce damage from skulls by 50%. Can be beaten with an early BIG bone dragon etc hit but initial skull matches are pathetic against the 50% ---

I am very much starting to dislike traits. Especially that others have them and I do not. I should have abused that glory key duplication bugā€¦ ---

Can be beaten with an early BIG bone dragon etc hit but initial skull matches are pathetic against the 50% I noticed this yesterday because he wasnā€™t using Goblins and I immediately saw Gloom and thought _ā€œHeā€™ll have traits on that wonā€™t he - oh great he does, this is going to suck!ā€_ On the other hand, legendaries are predictable. Goblins sort of just run over everything. As long as you manage mana and not let him hit you too many times, heā€™s beatable. ---

Unless you have my bad luck šŸ˜„ Lucky cascade powered Herdmaster who powered Sheggraā€™s Heart, powering Sheggra, who kills the first troop and powered Herdmaster and Heart of Sheggra through cascades. Kills second troop through skull matches then fires up Heart of Sheggraā€¦ šŸ˜› ---
