As described earlier, this card spawns two units: Goblinstein Monster and Goblinstein Doctor. The Monster is the larger and tankier of the two units, designed to target buildings. Positioned at the front upon deployment, it serves as a reliable tank for pushes.

Meanwhile, the Doctor is spawned three tiles behind the Monster. This ranged troop attacks both ground and air targets and adds a stunning effect to its attacks, resetting enemy attacks for 0.5 seconds.

Furthermore, players can activate their combined attack, Lightning Link, which electrifies the connection between the Monster and the Doctor. When the ability is activated, it creates an electrical link that damages enemies near the connection.

Notably, this ability can be activated even after the Monster is destroyed, as it drops a glowing receiver that remains active on the battlefield, allowing the Doctor to continue the electric link in Clash Royale.
