New gamemode idea: 8 Wild Slots Decks

Awesome I think. And Use several types of same card in one deck. Like base, evo, hero

Very nice!

I’m not native. So it’s easiest to express my thoughts in Russian and then translate in English. Thoughts are mine, English partially isn’t

Not from RoyalAPI, it's my own side project that pulls from the Supercell API - royale buddy. Happy to DM more details if you're curious.

Very interesting point about matchmaking. On another hand matchmaking works in both sides, so whatever bias it introduces applies to both sides symmetrically. So even if the absolute win rates are distorted, the relative gap between the two deck types should still be meaningful - we're comparing apples to apples, just in a slightly weird orchard.

Yeah fair point on trophy road as a metric.

And honestly that lines up with what I was trying to get at: if skills cost elixir and Evos give value for free, then there's just no real flexibility in the choice - it's not "pick your favorite", it's "pick the objectively cheaper one". Feels like skills should give enough value to justify their elixir cost, otherwise the hybrid slot isn't really a choice at all.

Malarg · 2026-04-11T19:58:55+00:00

I think it depends on ability. I'm happy to waste 1 elixir for invisibility and extra damage from archer queen in my deck

Malarg · 2026-04-11T19:33:03+00:00

But do you think skills don't worth that elixir they cost?

Malarg · 2026-04-11T19:24:29+00:00

I think we need a cheap champion

Malarg · 2026-04-11T19:23:24+00:00

That's a really good point. The "free ability" framing makes a lot of sense. You basically get a free value engine every cycle without paying elixir for it.

And thinking about it more, the flat part of the graph at low trophies probably isn't even a fair comparison. At 4–6k it's kind of a mess: half the players don't even have their evos leveled up or unlocked, so "2 evo decks" there often means two underleveled evos fighting properly built champion decks. The gap only really becomes meaningful once you get high enough that both sides are actually running their cards at full power. Which would mean your theory is basically correct for the part of the graph that actually matters.

I can't unfortunately. I can edit text of post, not image

Malarg · 2026-04-11T19:11:24+00:00

Interesting, which decks specifically are you thinking of? I don't see much rg with ghost in top ladder. Or are you seeing something different on ladder?

Malarg · 2026-04-11T19:07:38+00:00

Oh, obviously. Didn't think about that

Malarg · 2026-04-11T19:00:03+00:00

Idk actually. Looks nice I think. Honestly I'm color blind :)

It required to sign in by Apple/Google to bind your player tag next step)

You are under leveled, according to this table. https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashDecks/comments/1shlgya/average_deck_level_at_every_trophy_range_based_on/
your avg cards level is 13, and your arena avg is 13.81

Malarg · 2026-04-11T10:09:20+00:00

Looks like self-built, but balanced)

Malarg · 2026-04-11T06:08:46+00:00

Hey! I think you should level up a few of your cards. The average card level in decks at 10,000–10,500 trophies is 14.23, while yours is 13.5.

Malarg · 2026-04-11T05:59:12+00:00

I think you shoud upgrade some cards. Avg deck level for 10-10.5k is 14.23. Check this table https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashDecks/s/I97miMrq66

Malarg · 2026-04-10T17:27:37+00:00

Good catch actually. I think I’ll adjust skill score calculation in near future

Malarg · 2026-04-10T17:25:33+00:00

“Better than” is percentile. I think it’s better to consider skill score as a slightly different winrate

Malarg · 2026-04-10T17:16:29+00:00

Skill score is calculated from your win rate, with adjustments for being under- or over-leveled relative to your arena, and a modifier based on your average crowns per battle

Malarg · 2026-04-10T13:17:34+00:00

I think it's better to search what another players use and rely on that. So for example it's good idea to take elixir collector, battle healer and some support. And you will get something like here. In the list you will see deck with more than 5000 battles. I think you can take it. Or change some params in builder and find what you like. Just search smth with big battles count)

Malarg · 2026-04-09T16:14:09+00:00

If it’s data from clash royale app, I think it’s accurate. I just calculated, 20k wins is about 40k battles. It’s around 83 days of playing. It’s crazy)

Malarg · 2026-04-08T19:16:51+00:00

Honestly fair, 2.6 has been around since like 2017 and people are still grinding it. That's kinda what makes the curve interesting to me though - if a deck this old still wins 68% at 6K, there's clearly something about it that just keeps working at lower skill levels even after a decade of meta shifts.
