Clash Royale |OT| Should I keep playing when Im full on chests?
- Thread starter commish
- Start date
You guys did it that close to the end? Haha that's awesome, one of the props of having people all around the world in the clan.
The quick and easy answer would be for you to replace Inferno Tower with Inferno Dragon. If you keep just using ID defensively then maybe you'll sometimes get lucky and get it to their tower. But I would probably get rid of your pump and then put another win condition in that slot. Maybe a gob barrel to make the deck a bit chippy, and get some damage past your opponent if he has buildings.
Yeah it really came down to the wire. Hopefully next week it's not so close. Tough for people to play a bunch though since all 3 days are weekdays.

Any open slot in the GAF clans I could join? My current clan is dying. :/

Someone wanna give me a deck idea so that I can use my inferno dragon while still using my log. Currently running:
inferno dragon is garbage tier but it typically works better if you stack a bunch of flying units. lava hound, baby dragon, mega minion but then you need arrow or fireball to protect your lava hound
Join GAF (#QYYQCQ).
Post here when you're ready to join and I'll open up the clan for you.
I tried him out and yeah I don't like him. Inferno tower is much more effective defense. Also having inf. dragon + gob barrel over inf. tower + collector put me in many more situations where I had bad cards and needed to waste elixer cycling. I didn't like it and went back. Sounds like if I wanna use inferno dragon I'd need to build a whole new deck around him.
Join GAF (#QYYQCQ). Just opened it now. Post you're from Neogaf in the request.
Sent!

Inferno Dragon wouldn't slot in easily there. It works best on both defense and offense if there is something tanking for it, especially when crossing the river. Your hog will be too fast for it, and the valkyrie isn't tanky enough.
Also, not sure why you have a pump as your deck doesn't really demand it.
If you really wanted to include it in your current deck, drop hog and pump and add in giant and inferno dragon. Also, consider switching out zap for arrows for better protection for your giant and inferno dragon from minions.

I feel like with the pump in my deck it drastically diminishes getting hosed by a bad starting hand and getting immediately put on the defensive or at an elixer disadvantage while I cycle. I can't think of anything off hand that I could slot in there that the deck needs since it's built around pushing a valk>hog>musket and defending big pushes with tower and low cost stuff. Getting a collector or two down also allows me to cycle super fast for nonstop offense that rolls over more expensive decks, especially in double elixir time. I'm pretty bad at this game too, so I don't really trust myself to make positive elixir exchanges without it.
I'm not really super married to this deck at any rate. I'm pretty sure I just did a google search for log decks when I pulled my first (and 2nd) legendary and that was the most popular hit. I doubt it's even meta anymore. I see a lot more people running elite barbs and mega minions and stuff and I'm constantly getting beat up by those kinds of newer units. I might try something totally different next time a clan chest starts. Try to get witch involved since that's my favorite card.

this is the deck i'm using for the battle ram challenge works pretty good i'm 6-2 so far. 7/8 cards i don't use so there was alot of improvisation lol.
so electro wizard completely obliterates the battle ram so you should add it to your deck, the executioner is the most OP card in the game currently and tornado is the best card that syngerizes with him.

Grand Challenge sure is difficult. I can only get 3 wins at best. I was already facing 4700+ players.

it seems that the gaf clan I was in is no more, so can someone invite me to #y8cgrr please
I was in with you. Did the entire GAF clan get disbanded?
Also when I search neogaf only one clan comes back now. It used to be like 5

Yea , guess it was just a weird bug.
When I logged in earlier today there was nothing in my clan chat for the first time ever, so I guess they were having server issues.

Knight is a hard counter to executioner, and if you add goblins to it, EB is no problem too.
Not to be a smartass and state the obvious, but you have to change your deck to fit the meta. As said above, knight is a good counter, as is rocket (you can almost always get value out of a rocket with executioner is played), or lightning/log combo if your opponent groups up multiple units.
Now that the balance changes have settled down, I'm actually seeing a lot of deck variation around 4000 trophies. Back to how it was months ago without a dominant deck.
Certainly not seeing anywhere near the same number of Elite Barbs to the point where they are punishing when surprised by them.
Executioner hasn't been much of a problem for me. Careful placement of troops is a great way to minimizing his impact.

Yep, the elite barb decks have mostly dried up and we're back to hog/giant decks.

executioner would be more dominant if everyone had it unlocked and you could request to level it. its because its epic that it hasn't become more widespread, its an OP card and almost never trades negatively.
i've unlocked every crown chest since they released him and i have yet to unlock it somehow.
also executioner is especially strong with tornado but that card isn't very popular and difficult to use.

I'd say if he was considered overpowered, you could hobble it a little by not having the splash damage extend behind his back and nerf his health slightly. Would make him easier to take out but not fundamentally change the way the card is played.
They are actually going to get rid of the damaging of troops behind him in the next client update. Supercell posted this on Reddit a week ago about the pending Executioner changes. They said the next client update won't be until March though.

Removing the mini stun was all the nerf he needed imho.
The rest of the bugfixes are welcome.

No offense taken, you're right I should change decks. But since I've been playing a variation of my deck for sooo long up to the 4100 range it just bums me out to see a new card come out and shut my shit down from one day to another.
I prefer taking a few days off the game instead of raging because of a game.
EDIT : Knight being a good counter against him is useless to me since my problem is Executer used on defense.
I'm the same as you really. Been using Royal Giant + Sparky for over 6 months. Ice Wiz + Princess + Lumberjack for support. Zap has been in my deck even longer, so long that it's now maxed at Level 13 for requesting it so much.
In fact the last card I changed out was Poison back in October when they nerfed it. Replaced that with Lightning. And I brought in Skeleton Army when that got boosted.
It's a deck I know perfectly well now (4300 trophies and I'm Level 10). I'm still vulnerable to air decks and almost accept I'll lose to Lava Hound decks.
Neogaf #Y8CGRR has a spot free.
Make sure you mention your GAF name in the join request, I'm going to open up the clan for the next hour.
Some Clash news this morning.
First, new balance changes coming 2/13.
Next up, there was a developer Q&A on Reddit and there was a few tidbits of information shared. Quick summary:
-Legend trophies are going to be removed after the next update. They are reworking the end game and the trophies do not fit into their plan. They will still appear on profiles for awhile and they said they may reward players for having them.
-Clan chest will be moving to Friday - Monday after the next update.
-New card rarity levels unlikely right now. They admitted to testing Hero cards though and discussing them.
-They are reviewing challenges to adjust them on a wide range of player skill along with reviewing custom tournaments.
-No major clan updates coming, but they are looking at ways to improve clans by sharing decks, etc. They do say there will be a cool new clan feature in the next update along the lines of a clan chest, but with a twist.
