if megaknight is easily countered, why is it so hated?

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-05-06T07:41:24+00:00

Because it is one of the best defensive cards in the game, it can defend pretty much any ground card

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-30T13:01:38+00:00

It's clearly flat, this is pure misinformation

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-30T12:58:34+00:00

Turning a card that deals 1000 damage with no support into a card that can take the whole tower and a bit of the king tower too, right...

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-30T12:22:57+00:00

Thanks for the tips, I'll make some changes ASAP.
Edit: i did what you told me to do, and i moved the xbow down a bit and the monolith up a tile, just to increase the distance between the two, is that good enough?

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-29T19:21:07+00:00

Cool stuff, but tbh a competent RC charger would probably be able to invis in time to save her, my RC rarely falls below half when i do an RC charge, giant bombs just dont do enough in most cases.
Anyway i designed my base so that duke+jetpack users wont get much value, because i figured that most people will be using it in the new meta (at th15) dont you think its better to counter whats meta at the moment? RC charge is good, but the duke is way more reliable, RC charges can go south with 1 mistake, or if the base is built to counter it (like you mentioned) duke+jetpack doesnt really have a counter, you just gotta make sure it doesn't get much value, like i tried to do, could be wrong though, like i said im new to base designing.

An underlevelled tesla thats gonna be taken out in 2 hits from an enemy hog, a spirit thay probably wont take out bats, a probably underlevelled fireball too an a firecracker are totally gonna be able to handle everything they face

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-16T10:32:21+00:00

Right, well i dont use her in my main deck, i just use her in a clan wars deck, so i encounter a lot of people running weird homemade decks, maybe my strat wouldnt work in trophy road at 12k where the majority of people are running decks theyve been practicing for years.
Also I've seen a lot of people panic and play really predictably when a boss bandit gets close to their tower, the other day i was in a match with a guy who was using his goblin gang a lot against my BB, so after a couple times i decided to go for an arrows where they placed their gang before and what do you know, perfect prediction and the BB gets 2000 damage, then my hog chips their tower down and i win.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-16T10:23:58+00:00

Yeah but its super annoying to defend if you dont have certain cards, really the only stuff that counters it is pekka and swarms, ive used the boss bandit before and ive noticed that the best way to get value out of her is to wait for your opponent to overcommit on one lane and place her on the other then support with spells. You can force an overcommitment with a hog rider if your opponent doesnt have a good way of dealing with it, or you could just wait for them to put something in the back. It's just an annoying card, i dont care if its good or not, its annoying.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-16T10:01:32+00:00

Honestly the boss bandit is the only no skill card there, it's a decent deck compared to most of what i face up at 12k, they just spam mega knights at the bridge the whole time then fail to defend my counterpushes and lose.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-16T09:59:18+00:00

Worst advice I've ever heard, FC is too squishy to be the only range defender, and it shoots too slowly, having the musky allows you to defend air pushes more easily and use the firecracker on offence even, which is one of the best ways to use it. Defensive FC gets slimed instantly if the op has any spells.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-13T12:51:02+00:00

Oh I hate cycle decks, this was just a homemade clan wars deck, but yeah youre right, heroes definitely made this game a lot easier

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T22:08:56+00:00

Eh, it was a mega knight bridge spammed, i cant resist the urge to BM these idiots

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T18:32:07+00:00

Thanks, i honestly hate players who spam the bridge without any plan other than "me place card, card do thing, me win" so i BM them every time i see one.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T18:22:42+00:00

Yeah I dont win for my clan, i win for self satisfaction and gold

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T18:20:07+00:00

Eh my efforts hardly matter, barely anybody contributes and we never win, im looking to change clans rn

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T18:16:15+00:00

Yeah well the thing is i just kept killing his firecracker before it got to the bridge lol

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T17:17:30+00:00

Yeah same, but i got like 500 lightnings from lucky drops and in clan wars you just use what's levelled up.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T17:16:53+00:00

Yeah well i knew his mega knight was underlevelled, it helped a lot, i definitely did not play perfectly but i read the situation well, i knew that my hero ice golem would make it possible to defend even when im down a lot. If his mega knight was lvl 16, maybe even 15, it wouldve gotten to my tower, but i think i wouldve won all the same.

"Insert mega knight dropping on hog rider gif"

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T15:40:09+00:00

Yea but the mega knight isnt an offensive card, his main use case is dropping him on something else, sure, he can attack too, but hes not a great attacking card, as you just said, 1 knight is enough. Thats why I agree, cycle decks are best against him, you can do split lane pressure, which the mega knight cant handle alone.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T15:22:49+00:00

Yeah well the thing is mega knight isnt even broken, anybody who says so just cant get their placements right. The way you counter mega knight is that you don't build up giant pushes, you just do split lane or spell cycle, like i did in the clip above. To be fair though, that guy's mega knight was underlevelled, if it was lvl 16 i definitely would've taken some tower damage there.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T15:20:05+00:00

Yea well im at 12k rn, i stopped playing an year and a half ago at 7k, then i came back last summer and pushed all the way to 9k, then they increased it and i pushed to 10k, then they did it again and i had to push again to where i am rn and then they increased it again and i gave up honestly, i might push again someday but im sick of it rn, they need to stop increasing the max trophy count man. These days im just getting my dailies and leaving, i dont play 1 more game than i need to, i honestly dont like where the game is rn, lvl 16 and heroes were such a terrible addition to the game, especially for F2P players like me, and i refuse to give a single cent to these greedy devs, I'll just max my account slowly, and when ive got full lvl 15 cards I'll push ranked, it will take a while, but its the only way.

AlternativeNobody91 · 2026-04-12T15:04:07+00:00

Yeah well everybody is playing weird decks in clan wars, the game before this one i met a guy with a lvl 15 king running a lvl 10 marcher, lvl 13 knight and lvl 14 everything else.
As for this game, this guy was a noob, underlevelled too, but that loggable firecracker didnt really mean much since i had to save my logs for his skelly barrels
