What Does Goblin Drill Do?

Goblin Drill tunnels underground on deployment, bypassing ground defenses entirely, and emerges close to the tower. Once it surfaces, it periodically spawns Goblins for as long as it survives, similar to other spawner-style buildings.

Because it travels underground, opponents can't intercept it directly while it's tunneling - the only opportunity to react comes once it resurfaces.

Where Goblin Drill Fits

It functions as a way to guarantee troop pressure directly at the tower, since it can't be stopped en route like a ground troop can, making it useful for chip damage decks that want reliable pressure.

How to Counter Goblin Drill

Having a splash troop or spell ready near the tower lets you clear the Goblins it produces quickly, limiting how much value it gets once it resurfaces.
