Clash Royale |OT| Should I keep playing when Im full on chests?
- Thread starter commish
- Start date
I got lucky with a super magical chest and only in arena 2 atm. The loots I got were major upgrades, felt like I have a big advantage now. Is donating to the ppl that request the cards the only way of donation? I've requested a card but it was removed within a minute so I'm confused if it was a glitch or one of the elders removed it, it was a musketeer request.

This isn't entirely true.
There is an instance when you want to drop trophies, and I've done it. It's when you want to spend money on Super Magical Chests.
By dropping to Arena 1 (which takes ages from Arena 8) and buying chests, you guarantee that you only get Training+Arena 1 cards. The Super Magical chests are cheaper in terms of gems at that low level but you will get dozens of the lower tier cards. I brought my lower cards like Goblins and Archers up to rank 8-9 and the Giant to rank 6 by doing that.

It was probably fulfilled. You get either (1 or 2) rare cards or 10 common cards through donations a day. Our guilds move fast with the donations
What is the best use of my gems if I have no intentions of using real money to buy more? I just armed playing yesterday and up to arena 2 and it seems like the gems are slow to come buy so buying any big chests seems unlikely anytime soon. Will coins become hard to come by soon and I may want to buy those with gems? Tempted to occasionally use gems to open a silver chest early as I am always full on chests.
Ah that explains it. There was a donation cooldown.
No kidding. Requested a Mini P.E.K.K.A and got it within 60 seconds.
I read the best use of gems are to buy the 10k gold for 500 gems as a F2P player. Never use gem on opening silver chest, if you must, use it on Golden/Magical chests. You can never have enough gold.
Is gold used for anything else besides levelling up cards and buying new cards in the shop?
That's mostly it. Only other thing is that a guild costs 1000 gold to create. (Or at least it did during the beta.)

In it to win it. Thanks for setting it up!
It really is. I'm level 6 and I've been fucking stuck in this range for days at this point. I got to arena 3 with like... 2 losses? And I've been in Arena 4 for a week at this point while dropping back out in to 3 at least 2-3 times.
I know I'm shit at the game but yeah, the 1100 tier is a fucking wall.

This is the first F2P game I've ever thought about throwing some money at. I haven't yet but I'm not ruling it out.
Losing steam fast on the game. Stuck in the 1500-1700 trophy range, and it's been a long, slow rise from 1100, and the only thing I can do is just keep opening garbage chests and hope for a miracle while I donate as much as I can to lift my rank once every week or two if I'm lucky, and it's only going to get harder unless I pay up.
I had to battle myself not to drop another $30 into the game to get a Arena 6 Super Magical Chest. I'd happily buy an Arena 3 or 4 Super Magical Chest for the $20 I have leftover Play Store credit for, but since they'd force me to intentional throw 20 or so matches to afford it, I'm just going to stick it to the man and refuse to spend any further.
The pricing that scales with the player's progress is completely diabolical in this game.

Finally reached Arena 5! Been stuck in Arena 4 for around 2 weeks now, but went on a huge winning streak tonight.
Looks like some fairly big changes coming in the next update.

Solid changes overall. Not liking the poison boost though...I feel like it's already too powerful. It can nearly shut down a lane for it's duration.
One thing I would like to see is a reactive shield card against arrows/fireball and maybe poison.
3 Musketeers is still not going to be used since it can be shut down with a 4 cost fireball, 4 cost poison, or 6 cost lightning.
I've been tanking my trophies since yesterday. Just going to have some fun with gimmick decks until I feel the need to trophy push or get back to arena 7. 3 Musketeers + mirror + musketeer. It's fun going up against someone and having 8 musketeers on the field. Tough to pull off though.

I personally never use gems to open chests. I open silvers during the day and then do a gold overnight and save gems until I can buy the 10k gold for 500.
No, save your gems to buy 10k coins. Open Silver chests during the day and Gold/Magical during the night, or when you are without int. connection.

Interesting deck, but your anti-air is really lacking. If I make a big push with Baby Dragon and some solid ground sponges your deck would really be in trouble. Consider swapping out the skeletons for a musketeer (she is an amazing card). I would also highly consider putting Barbarians in your deck if you are running a hut deck. If you really want to switch it up consider swapping skeleton for musketeer, minion horde for regular minions, and knight for barbarians. The musketeer would give you solid AA that you probably got with the horde (plus you have regular minions now too), and the barbarians give you a much better ground game compared to the knight IMO.
I think the key for a solid hut deck to work is to really get a solid push in the last 60 seconds or overtime when you have at least 2 barb huts out and you make a solid push.

I get so salty when I go on losing streaks. I'm like "Fuck it one more got to end with a win" and proceed to get messed up again. That only fuels my anger lol.
Happened to me this morning. Spent the next three hours dropping back to A4 then trying out new configurations. I delayed my gf leaving to go shopping as I needed to get some of those trophies back.

Oh sure, pair me, a level 5 player with a level 7 player. Totally fair.
Even better, he's spamming me with the crying emote. Awesome.

I downloaded this about a week ago and made it to arena level 5 and now it's starting to lose its fun. There are many players at this level that have obviously dropped a few levels as I'm coming across level 7 and 8s. I don't mind losing to fair fights but it's pointless trying in some battles.
Level 5 around 1100 trophies. .... Definitely harder to win now. By then EVERYONES deck is stacked full of counters and building defense. And by then someone has at least one card that is high level, so depending on what that is I could be screwed
Fuck the crossbow. What am I supposed to do about that. Placed behind the river and defends OR attacks my tower nonstop.
Mini pekka is a necessity. I'll see people dropping the beginnings of a horde and I'll drop the mini on the other lane. Either they ignore it and push forward, or they split their horde trying to defend quickly weakening their push.
I'm rolling with a pure ground game right now. I'm thinking about starting to add the fliers. I feel like I can replace my giant, but he's been becoming more useful as defense actually.... Absorbing a horde near my tower

If you signed into the game with your Google account, your progress is already backed up.
As for the nexus 7, I know someone who had something similar happen. The thing wouldn't turn on at all even though the battery had some charge in it, so they left it plugged in until it finally wanted to wake its ass up. Though this was an OG (2012) nexus 7.
Edit: beaten like a tower after a prince has had its way
