What Does Goblin Cage Do?
Goblin Cage is a building that, like other passive-defense buildings, doesn't attack on its own while intact. Its real value comes when it's finally destroyed - a Goblin Brawler is released from inside and continues the fight as a normal ground troop.
This means the card offers two stages of value: absorbing hits and buying time as a building first, then contributing extra troop damage once it falls.
Where Goblin Cage Fits
It works well as a defensive answer to ground pushes, absorbing an attack's damage while setting up a follow-up Goblin Brawler that can help counterpush once the defense is over.
How to Counter Goblin Cage
Destroying it from a safe range avoids the Goblin Brawler's melee attacks, and being prepared to handle that troop once it's released prevents it from picking up free value.
