Goblinstein - October 2024 (Season 64)


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://royaleapi.com/blog/goblinstein-new-card-2024-october

A good crazy story was a match that I had with a Midladder menace. I had just recently upgraded my fisherman to lvl 15 because I grew tired of it always dying to Mini Pekka and leaving my Evo Royal Giant all alone so I decided to pair it up with the cannonner to kill heavy troops. As I began the match, something felt off, he didn’t play anything until I made the first move. Strange. To play it safe I played the Monk at the back to start cycling to spells. UNTIL this guy decided to play Pekka at the back alongside minions and play a mini Pekka. I tried playing guards to bait out any spells for my monk to reflect but my Monk didn’t reflect the arrows he cast and for good measure, he played rage. As they started going towards my tower, my beautiful wizard and void paired themselves together and demolished that push. However unbeknownst to me he had played megaknight at the back while I was distracted and started to build a push. In a desperate attempt, I played my monk to prevent it in which he played hogrider while I was at 2 Elixer. I played guards but out of nowhere, he had enough elixir to cast lightning, almost destroying my tower. Once we entered 2x Elixer, I made a massive push to at least get one tower down. With both evos at hand, I placed them at the same push. Then, I hear it, MEGA KNIGHT & the dreadsound of a another evo, which was PEKKA. I tried SO HARD to get them off with Fisherman and Guards but he prevented it with a hogrider making me lose both towers. I cycled back to a void spell and another wizard in which he plays his minipekka and every other card. I tried putting my royal giant in the pocket but I misclicked and he went straight towards the king tower.Everything was approaching my tower and in a last ditch effort I placed down my monk. It grabbed every cards attention, I activated its ability and I waited until the clock ran out. 5…4…3…2…1…OVERTIME. SOMEHOW THE FISHERMAN AND GUARDS DESTROYED HIS PRINCESS TOWER. Al I needed to do was to defend my KingTower 1000 hp. I kept going on, I played royal Giant in which he placed down a Pekka, the fisherman pulls him away, Minions are deployed, Void kills it. His kingtower is slowly losing health while he keeps pushing onto mine. We enter triple Elixer, all or nothing. He places this evo mega knight to push away my royal Giant but it gets pulled away by my fisherman and killed by guards. Although my Giant died due to an evo pekka, he was near 700 hp which mean I only needed to get one more royal giant push. I cycle him back and placed down my monk and evo wizard. But then I realized my error as it heard it, the deployment of 3 cards near my king tower, rage, minions, and the horrendous sound ever heard to man HOG-RIDDDDDDEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I couldn’t stop it but I prayed my push would destroy his tower it could but alas all good things must come to an end, but to quote a movie line that best describes my reaction was this “were you killed? Sadly yes, BUT I LIVED” as I won by 15hp .
