Evolution ability of Clash Royale Goblin Drill: Whack-A-Drill

The hallmark of the Evolved Goblin Drill is its unique HP-triggering ability, Whack-A-Drill!, which draws inspiration from the Goblin Demolisher. However, instead of a single trigger at 50% health, the Clash Royale Goblin Drill Evolution features two distinct triggers at 33% and 66% health. Here's a breakdown of its intricate mechanics:

• HP triggers: The Evolved Goblin Drill hides and reappears at different locations upon reaching 33% and 66% health.
• Goblin spawns: Each time it hides, the drill spawns 2 Goblins. When it reappears, it deals tower damage again.
• Continuous spawns: Normal Goblin spawns continue every 3 seconds, and when the drill is finally defeated, 2 additional Goblins spawn.
• Trigger conditions: The respawn only activates when the drill is at or below the 33% or 66% health marks. Powerful attacks from cards like Sparky or Rocket can destroy the drill in one shot, preventing it from escaping and reappearing.
• Multiple spawn locations: The Evolved Goblin Drill introduces a dynamic deployment strategy, with its ability to spawn in multiple locations. Unlike its standard form, it doesn't spawn three times at random spots. Instead, this evolved version can only achieve multiple spawns when deployed in contact with a Crown Tower.
• Spawn rotation: Each of the spawns rotates 90 degrees around the selected Crown Tower. The direction of rotation varies, seemingly to reduce exposure to the second tower, enhancing its survivability and strategic value.
