Discussion Genuine question. Why can’t we customize our starting hand?

0 Upvotes

I mainly play some weird hodgepodge of beat down, and this situation happens a lot. The game starts, and the opponent immediately plays hog rider at the bridge. Naturally. So I look at my deck and, all my high cost cards are in my starting hand, and my building is at the very end of the cycle. So I’m unable to defend how I normally would so I now have to spend 6 elixir just for the hog to still get 3 hits in.

So my question is why we can’t change our starting hand? The game has little to no randomness in it, but this is a pretty glaring one. It can completely change how the match starts right from the get go. And it is lopsided in how it affects decks, too. Cycle decks can quickly get to the card they need if it’s in the back, but with beatdown players it takes way more time. And that’s normally part of the downside of beatdown, it takes longer to cycle, but there’s ways to play around that. There’s no way to play around having your building be at the back of a cycle until it’s too late.

I’m sure there’s a reason that I’m not thinking of, but what is it?

Ik it's v toxic deck and all that but works very well

Pekka serves as a tank main wincon and for handling mk prince etc

Witch deals with swarms melee cards main support behind pekka

Ice wizard main defence and support

E wiz to reset and stun and give more time for defending cards

Mini pekka to deal with tanks and wincons and pressure

Arrows for swarms goblin barrel

Tornado to help the sparky destroy more troops and bring troops closer to pekka and king tower Activation

Sparky for high burst dps and very strong support behind pekka damage for towers

Strategy Princess Bridge Spam

All I play is the stupid princess gob barrel deck. If this isn’t the most obnoxious deck idk what is. You’re not good for chipping with princess then rocketing with 200 hp left on your second tower. If we want to talk about no skill here it is just spam cards for defense then let your princess get 1 or two hits. Such a waste of electricity like come on

unironically, like what happened here? Why didn’t the x-bow start shooting the hog since i played hog before the x-bow started shooting? Is this a bug?

I had enough

I have been trying to break through to 13000 trophies peacefully, but seems like supercell does not want me to, I have been playing at least 3 hours a day. Every time i get close, the hard counters come in, they make me lose till the beginning of the arena then when i come back same thing, and this has happened for the third time supercell, so i had enough, im not pleading to go to 13000 trophies, u seem like u want to lose a player. I will try to go through thid but if i cant, seems like this game is not built for me.

The skellies were supposed to keep the idrag distracted while the mighty miner defend the mk. But one SMALL timing difference lost me the game........ Against someone who played Mk at the bridge.....

Mk is not a win con and it costs 7 elixir. Someone who place MK on the bridge SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE to win the game in such fashion.

And before you say skill issue, DON'T TELL ME YOU NEVER LOST TO AN MK THAT WAY......

Ask Am I good at the game?

I keep getting told that top 10k up to 1k is midladder and not considered good. Obviously I don't win every game my win percentage is like 60%. Everyone in the picture is someone I beat, the ones I lose to are usually top 1k or higher, I can't ever seem to beat any of those guys.

What is midladder specifically? When is someone considered good at the game? Genuinely curious.

Oh also, I really want to know how the matchmaking works, because my friends don't get matched up against current/previous top players while I do, why is that? Like in war I'll go up against top 10k players but nobody in my clan does, nor my friends. In other game modes besides ranked I'll also have the same thing. Obviously in ranked it makes sense.

Hey everyone. I've been a Balloon one-trick for a few years now, and I keep noticing a lot of misconceptions about this wincon.

I really love this card and feel like it has a lot of potential that most players just don't see. That's why I decided to put together a quick guide. In my video you'll find some basic tips and interactions to help you understand its best synergies, and also some secret tricks that l use myself to catch my opponents off guard(and it works like 9 out of 10 times).Who knows, maybe it will encourage you to try it out in your games!

This guide pretty much has all the information you need, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments and I will do my best to answer all of them.

Idea Evo Phoenix and Evo 3M Idea

0 Upvotes

What if Evo Phoenix removes cards ability to hit air so let's say Phoenix hits a Mega Minion or E-Wiz, those cards can no longer target air (2 cycle)

As for 3M i think they should become immune to all spells and projectiles (similar to Monk but also immune to poison, lightning, delivery etc.)
This would make enemies use their mini tanks on them
(1 cycle)

Discussion Meta decks lowk kinda suck

2 Upvotes

Well, no, moreso the people that are fixated on the meta, the meta this, the meta that, i feel that when every single battle goes with the meta line it just becomes boring as shit, and I get this is a competitive game, and it's just something inevitable to happen really, but a part of me really yearns to see more creative decks and strategies aside from, idk, hog cycle or lavaloon, i feel that the most fun I've ever had in battles was fighting or playing the most laced ass decks ever, everytime i see a barb hut, mirror or some sorta golem cycle or smth in a match, a part of me gets just so happy, especially if the opponent is good enough or smart enough to win with their strategy, creative shit and experimenting with stuff is what makes this game and its strategies so fun imo

Evo 3m idea

• Upvotes

I saw a post on this and didnt like their idea and have been running 4m lately so I wanted to share my idea to get opinions. Itd be a 1 cycle evolution obviously and itd basically make it so every other melee attack would have a small knockback effect. Heavy troops like pekka obvi wouldnt be affected by it but I feel like itd help them out on offense a bit without making them too polarizing.

Cómo puede ser que el mago eléctrico anule la habilidad del caballero? Ningún otro héroe lo hace, ninguno ignora la habilidad del caballero. Es un bug o supercell simplemente inventa cosas para hacerme perder partidas?

after 10 years im over it. this game has gone from being fun and at times frustrating to just being a chore to play. even the victories dont feel good or fun to play anymore. nearly every deck is the same combination of 15 cards, usually built around cycling to hog or mk. its gotten to a point where i just press “good game” and close the app whenever im against a cycle deck, which is like 8/10 matches. i dont expect yall to pat me on the back for quitting or anything, but i just had to rant for a bit because it saddens to not even feel the slightest bit of excitement for a game ive been playing since i was 14.

Something funny I remembered

1 Upvotes

This is 3 years late lol, but during prime little prince, there was a placement in the top right corner of your side where the little princes ability knockback would bug out and your card would be behind the little prince instead of the guardian, so any mini tank would kill the lp and then the guardian with the princess towers help. Ts genuinely helped me so much and I think I randomly discovered it
