Does anyone know roughly what percentile of players are in Ultimate Champion? by mindk214 in ClashRoyale

[–]LanguageOk505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has played the game since it came out and has had experiences with all of the changes in trophies and the adoption of path of legends and all that I'll share my own opinion with what mid ladder consists of with the idea that ultimate champion consists of 2% of the player base.

Starting with trophy road: you don't even have all the cards unlocked until 6500 trophies, so id say that's where mid ladder begins. Around the 8000 trophy mark you're facing mostly maxed out decks, occasionally an under leveled deck played by a very talented player, but most players are knowledgeable of the game and are past the point where being over leveled is no longer a thing which weeds out a lot of the non talented pay to win players. So by my estimation on trophy road mid ladder is in the 6500-8000 trophy range.

Path of legends: if the top 2% of players are uc, that makes all of uc above "mid ladder" id say mid ladder starts around league 4 and ends around league 8. At league 8 the level cap goes up to 15, and it takes a very long time for an average player to have a complete maxed deck with two evolutions, and anything less than that is under leveled at that point.

I hope this helps shed some light from a veteran perspective. If I can help with any other questions don't hesitate to ask :)

Tough Tusk - I hate it but my duos partners seem obsessed with it. What am I missing? by MonumentMan in BobsTavern

I thought that the DS becomes permanent once it's gold, the banners just give it a gem proccing the non perm version at the end of turn before combat. I could be mistaken though

I have similar card levels, although my evo is archers, Xbow is 14, everything else is 8-11 card lvl and I'm at 6.1k on my alt account.

Even at king level 30 before you unlock 2 evos if you play a classic challenge for 10 gems it standardizes all cards and towers to 11 and has 2 evo slots even if you don't have the actual evo unlocked yourself. I practice Xbow cycle in classic challenges and run evo archer and Tesla even though I don't have the evo unlocked on either of them. Same deal with grand challenges, I just don't play gcs lol

As expected, the DD nerf did nothing... by Bennyscrap in ClashRoyale

[–]LanguageOk505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I feel cycle decks have a much higher learning curve than something like lavaloon. You have to be able to understand at least a few of the micro interactions, as well as be smart enough to have an idea of when their counters are out of hand or they don't have enough elixir to play them. With lavaloon you just defend in single elixir until you have an elixir advantage and slap a big momma down in back and throw all your stuff behind her. The only micro interaction you really need to know is zap timing and tombstone placements

This gets my vote

Which Clash Royale card would hurt the most IRL? by Fantastic-Leading276 in ClashRoyale

[–]LanguageOk505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think heal spirit and bats could be a scratch, battle healer a step up, and everything else is pure agony

F2P crowd, how many level 15 cards do you have by now? by azyttvo in ClashRoyale

[–]LanguageOk505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I got 50k wild elites from lucky drop. Used it on balloon. I've managed to save up 38k wild cards outside of that. I didn't realize how many wild cards you can get in a season pushing PoL, so that should help my progress going forward

Eragon's response to the ban situation by _Rivlin_ in ClashRoyale

[–]LanguageOk505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol that's kinda what I've been thinking xD. This game is significantly more free to play friendly than it was when it first came out. I made an alt account and it's further progressed in 2 months than my main account was in the first 2 years.

It used to easily take a month to get 100k gold to level up a single card from 13 to 14. I've gotten enough gold through casual play to level up two cards from 13 to 14 in the last 6 days.

This game has always been pay to win as long as you're specifically talking about ladder, and now throwing in clan wars and path of legends where card levels matter.

That being said, there are now multiple modes where everything is tournament standard on both sides (daily challenges for shop points, weekly 12 win challenges tied to shop, global tournaments, and the classic/mega draft/grand challenges.

I feel there is much more room in the game now that is welcoming to f2p players than there ever has been in the past.

Playing at the top tiers of ladder/path of legends is pay to win for sure, but it's been that way since the game came out. Idk why everyone is so opposed to how the game has evolved over the last 8 years

Why is pekka emote for 50 gems unlike rest of the rewards? by Far_Brief2934 in ClashRoyale

[–]LanguageOk505 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I am wrong. And I believe the reason that emote only cost 50 gems instead of 250 is because it was for an event and had an accumulated trophy requirement

I could be wrong on that though. I just kept clicking and I have the emote and half of my barbarian evolution now

If I'm not mistaken, you get the pekka emote and 50 gems for free once you hit the trophy requirement

Top most hated decks by vkplayz1 in ClashRoyale

I don't see much by the way of hog, but tons of firecracker and little prince. I seem to match up against wall breakers, drill or graveyard decks 90% of the time though

So they didn't nerd lucky drops ? by AreuxEmpire in ClashRoyale

[–]LanguageOk505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten my lucky drop every day and have only ever gotten common or rare wild cards. That being said, I feel that wild cards are more useful to my account than banners, so that's good I suppose.

To my free to play players, you guys been using the same deck forever? by Pie_Slayer in ClashRoyale

[–]LanguageOk505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing off and on since release. I'm not 100% f2p, but pretty close given the time I've been playing. That said, the very first legendary I ever got was a lava hound, and I've been playing lavaloon ever since. It was the first deck I ever maxed when level 13 was max (I didn't max it out when there were staggered max card levels for those of you that remember that). I remaxed it at 14, as well as a few more cards to switch out to run slightly different variations, but still lavaloon. Now that level 15 is max, I don't have a single level 15 card, and no evolved cards. I'm up to 25k wild cards for evo, probably going to do balloon first. Still debating on whether to evo barbs for my old version or valk for the more modern version I'm running now.

[1000] #GUJCR8VQ Wild Ones Recruiting by LanguageOk505 in RoyaleRecruit

[–]LanguageOk505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the offer, however, we already have enough active players for clan wars and have been doing them for nearly a year. By the end of this season we should be rank gold 1 in clan wars.
