That dépends on cards mostly. Your zap not beeing high enought to kill goblins.à high level pekka is hard to manage when it 1 shot barbs

4% damage nerf on royal giants seems fair.


Bomber buff : YEAH i ve been playing it already and it s pretty decent already, that will definitly be great now.


Tesla buff i dont like since i dont like buff to defenses.

Knight seems pretty decent already but i cannot find a proper use for it so i dont think the buff will change much

witch get a decent buff with her own buff and squeleton buffs

that elixir pump buff seems like a decent buff to fireball, not sure they ll ever manage to balance it without making it unusable

I just won 6 in a row with this strange deck I made, putting me up to my highest rank, 2063:

Lvl 3: Baby Dragon
Lvl 5: Giant, Hog Rider, Elixir Collector, Tombstone
Lvl 8: Archers, Spear Goblins, Zap

Only reason I have Baby Dragon in here is because it's the first card I had to break 2/5/8. Valkyrie is still probably the better card, but I was having my Valk/Hog opens walk right into Horde and getting wrecked. My thought process is I can get away with Zap over Arrows because I have Baby Dragon, and because I have double shooters. I did beat three decks with Horde during the run, and two with regular Minions, so maybe my theory is right.

I put Tombstone in, because I was sick of getting Hog'ed, and then somehow, amazingly I only faced 1 Hog Rider in that run. But it did make some Giant Skeletons/Mini Pekkas look dumb.

It's kind of like the Jason deck, except I'm much happier opening with Baby Dragon or Tombstone than Barbarian or Minion Horde. The Jason deck seems very reliant on Elixir Collector in the opening hand, I think, to make the pattern of 5-elixir counter into counter-push happen often enough.

LOL...

What are counters for spam decks that play the barbarian hut, goblin hut, tombstone, etc.?

Bomb tower, also poison/lightning/rocket are good if you can hit multiple huts + tower.

Best defence is to rush the opposite lane and keep attacking. Hut decks rely on keeping you busy until double exilir (when they have so many huts it overwhelms you). Hard for them to find 7 elixir for a barb hut when you're on the attack!

Its a matter of not letting them reach a critical mass of hut where you cant stop them or counter the other lane.
Hut deck are weak since you can outplay them easily.

Hut decks are not weak. They are just not as easy to play as lots of people think. Too many players drop barb hut when the opponent can have a hog in hand and lose to a push on the other side. Or drop huts close together before knowing if the opponent has lightning or poison.

ofc hut decks are weak , that s why you dont see them at high level at all since good players crush them.

The closest we have seen as a hut deck at high level , is chief pat playing goblin hut in a super control royal giant deck. that doesnt qualify as a hut deck , since it would be at least 2 kind of spawner.

Spammer setups are rare in mid 2000 range, and it's -EV to build a deck just to beat it.

Do you win these very often?

Never. They don't exist

That makes me a God.

Finally hit arena 7. Mainly f2p. Dumped $20 at some point.

Had my second one recently. They are fully random on wins that give a chest. I have 1440 wins but not all of them gave chests but definitely more than 1000 chests.

I've had 2. Still stuck balls.

Been in arena 7 for ages now, first had a hog-freeze deck and was around 2200-2400, changed to a royal giant deck since last update and been up to about 2400-2600 atm
but rlly struggling to break through higher up. Seems all Im up against is people with legend cards which I have none of... being a lvl 9 since last weekend /doh.

That sparky does my head in aswell, whats best to counter this? minions orso?

And anyone who has that miner? sneeky thing aswell and only cost 3 pink?

Sparky on its own is easy (can use zap to reset it's attack charge, anything to kill it), sparky with wiz behind is hard, sparky behind a giant I have no idea (seeing this combo a lot over 2500).

Thats how Ive seen it a few times, drop giant at the back, then a wiz and when they are at the bridge a sparky... *panic mode activated* lol

Sparky is overpowered when protected. Mainly you have to send sacrificial troops to it to get zapped. But with wiz + giant = GG

I just concede when I see sparky. I would need to include minion horde or zap to be able to deal with him and I prefer to keep arrows. Especially since minion horde is too easily countered itself.

Sparky sucks against good hog decks who have zap so he is not popular enough to need a counter.

What are thoughts on elixir collector? seems such a waste to me to play it for 5 elix and only get 7 out of it best case....

Not sure after the latest nerf but collectors were a guaranteed elixir gain. Those 2 extra are guaranteed unless you spent a rocker or fireball on it which is still an elixir gain. Only miner and barrel can actually stop it.

Only downside is the early hard push after you dropped it.

I still run elixir and most of the people I've run against in the low 2000's run it.
I think it's still fine.
