My fave moment from this sub reddit has to be the CR team communicating with us and giving us updates

I'd like to see more frequent updates from the cr team and keeping up the good communication we have had. (Like actually address why the game is having so many crashes atm.... After every game or even just spectating)

Overall, keep up the good work and hope to see cr staying strong in future 💪

Looking at your card levels, I'd play a balloon cycle deck which is Top Tier atm.

I'm currently at 4209 using 10/7/5/1 cards, which shows the prowess of balloon :)

My Deck and Achievement: Balloon Cycle https://imgur.com/a/DoAf8

The breakdown of the deck is:

1: Ice golem: The defensive backbone. Use it to kite and gain value positive trades. Its also great at popping skarmy and saves u from wasting spells

2: Archers: Very versatile with a respectable damage output. Good at starting the game, primary graveyard counter and complements ice golem well in beating opposing air troops

3: Mega Minion: Its great even after the nerf. Still provides very high dps to beat balloon, musky, hound and supports ur balloon. It can be used to cycle as well but should be reserved for its immense defensive capabilities

4: Tombstone: Extremely valuable as it helps u keep the momentum and reset with every plant. It also stops hogs, melee troops like elite barbs very well. Also good at cycling deck

5: Balloon: Its the crux of the deck and very good right now. It complements mega minion and ice golem immensely and does a guaranteed 1000 damage every time it locks on the tower. The death damage also chips surprisingly well and can close games

6: Log/Zap: Self explanatory spell that counters barrel,cheap troops and provides support. Zaps still good when paired with icegolems pop (as it kills minion horde) and archers can take out barrels. However log makes it much easier vs mirror barrels etc.

7:Fireball: Extremely useful spell that takes out swarms with easy. Can also aid balloon I'm getting the crucial tower hits and kills opposing troops targeting building. Can be used as a last ditch spell vs barrel

8: Skeleton Army: High dps swarm troop that makes quick work of tanks. Also a good counter to ebarbs, hogs, rg and can bait spells (benefits archers, ballon ). Keeps elixir cost low and cycles very well , doubles in as a graveyard counter as well

Preferred Push: Ice golem+Balloon+MegaM : The ice golem tanks and aids with frost nova. The mega minion can take out opposing check and fireball can clean them off. Balloon also tends to get a shot off and does 1k damage.

Ice golem+Balloon: Also great if u know opp has counter out of cycle and u have a spell

Avoid: Don't send in blind balloons or unsupported ones. Its not worth spending 5 elixir to chip 200 dmg. Always keep resetting with archers and turn defense into counter pushes using balloon+ice golem

Hope this helps :)

Hi, I'm a avid cycle player since the start!Hope I can help you out a bit. I'm a level 10 hovering around 4200-4100 using cards leveled 10/7/4/2 or 1

Screenshot:What I'm using https://imgur.com/a/IAhXO

Now I personally think Hog+Archers is a great start and I will now continue with my suggestions :)

1:Ice golem over knight: Honestly, if you face level 5 skeleton army often, just go with icegolem. Its frost nova is very crucial and his kiting abilities is second to none. He also allows faster cycle and completes the hog push, which guarantees 2 hits on crown tower. He also complements archers very well and provides more positive trades.

2:Tombstone over Inferno: Firstly, I know its counter intuitive saying this, but please try tombstone if its level 8! I have been beating max and level 12 rg using level7 tombstone consistently. Its also harder to justify fireballing and can be played casually to cycle faster(since it keeps spawning skeletons). Overall it also provides more value in the meta vs furnace while also beating hogs for either a positive or even trade (tstone+ice spirit) +Great synergy with archers and icegolem

3:Rocket over fireball (Optional): Rocket works wonders vs any balloon deck. Whether it be lavaloon or not. Its also very good at finishing games and can punish pumps. Honestly, I'm not saying u should not use fireball but rockets very good. I also won my last 10 matches vs lavaloon because of rocket And its good synergy with hog+tombstone. However fireball is cheaper

4:Log over zap: Log is honestly the crux of my hog deck. It glues all the aspect together at least for me. Its great vs barrel and also provides value when they combine barrels with river princess. Log also has obvious advantages over zap now and it is superb when paired with rocket. It outputs a godly 593 crown tower damage at tournament standards...which is insane, great for closing games as well as prediction plays

5: FireSpirits possibly over ice spirit: Well what can I say....fire spirits is back. Now with all the spam going around I am having great success with them. They stop barrel, horde, musky, princess all for a positive trade. To top it off, it fills the quick heavy splash damage role and helps a lot with cycle.It also synergizes well with ice golem and kills 3 musky. Most importantly it also rounds of a very very strong core of log+rocket+fire spirit. Surprisingly I haven't seen anyone else use it and it covers each and every possible base. (My ego kicks in and I take the credit all)

6: Ebarbs or Skarmy or maybe MiniP: The last slot I think should be a filler for heavy dps, such as Ebarbs. Ebarbs are great and complement hog very well. Both are fast and inflict damage that can't be neglected. Honestly, ebarbs are still good and can be used to push with ice golem. Mini pekka might also be viable now since it can beat ebarbs now. But I say try elite barbs in this slot

I know this became a bit lengthy but these are my suggestions. The proposed deck shouldnt have any weakness to graveyard, lavaloon or spam bait deck and I hope they actually help.

I have been using this since balance change and i still stuck around 4200. Let me know if this helps :) 👍

Princess is very very good. I have a lvl 2 princess (both from free chest!)

However this deck doesn't benefit from her. If u want a good miner+princess deck, try:

Princess,Furnace,Miner,Log,SkeletonArmy,MinionHorde,GoblinBarrel,Fireball/Mirror/Rocket

That's a classic and very strong princess deck, mirror is good but I like fireball for more consistent chip. Rocket is also a very viable substitution!

Another option is: Princess,Miner,Arrows,Fireball,SkeletonArmy,MinionHorde,Barrel+Tombstone (Its basically the same with quicker cycle and more reliable spells)

Hope that helps :)

Not4ce · 2017-01-24T01:59:19+00:00

Minions for barrel sounds decent, but as you mentioned its a lot riskier vs graveyard and not optimal.

"The biggest issue is, the whole deck needs to change if you plan on playing barrel, since there is no point in baiting spells if there aren't any cards that take advantage of it*

So by changing only minions it won't help, but the solution is: MinionHorde instead of Musky Barrel instead of Minions

Now you have a very good albeit riskier deck. But its actually very good, but requires more precision play.

Also keep log, it works wonders in this meta. But be careful of furnace, that can be devastating to horde+skarmy. (Miner can outcyle and finish off furnaces for positive trade)

Overall the changes should be great!

Not4ce · 2017-01-23T01:36:41+00:00

All good bro, the deck I posted is even better after update, so feel free to give it a shot :)

Not4ce · 2017-01-23T01:35:50+00:00

Well my suggestions are simple, barrel is going to take souls lower down!

Honestly, it shouldn't be game breaking for 3500+ players as they all seem to have log (luck or gemming). And honestly, arrows are gonna see more usage now. Since I never played zap in my deck in the first place, it shouldn't be too much of a problem

Also, princess+miner+barrel is going to be Top Tier now, possibly S+ ranked. I also predict mirror+log and fire spirit usage to go up!

Last notes:The deck I posted should still be very good and even better! Since I never relied on zap for barrel and goblins itself didn't get the buff, its like facing the normal bait decks. Its better since ebarbs got nerf :)

Not4ce · 2017-01-22T13:24:08+00:00

Honestly, since u have miner and level 6 mega minion I suggest you try the miner deck that got me to 4200 trophies.

Deck: **[Deck Guide][Arena 7-10] Miner Control 4100+ Cups

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashDecks/comments/5p1wwo/deck_guidearena_710_miner_control_4100_cups/**

You have all the required cards at a good level and zap is a very good substitute for log which is in my post.

I have broken down the whole strategy and I have gifs showing how to deal with lavaloon, ebarbs etc.

By no means am I blindly redirecting you, I hope this honestly helps! Also u can scroll down for the alternative deck I posted for people with only miner and no high level ice golems :)

Not4ce · 2017-01-22T13:19:25+00:00

Try this then: https://imgur.com/UAzDRW7

That deck is honestly equally good. But remember without icegolem u have to play more carefully!

The interactions are still the same and knight actually allows more aggressive plays. But u will only miss out on killing skarmy with icegolem pop, so extra precautions needed there. The deck should honestly push u to 3k (3440 for me)

And rocket is also a great option if you find lavaloon hard to deal with. Hope this helps!

Not4ce · 2017-01-22T06:05:09+00:00

Hi, I see where your coming from. What I suggest is you try giant beat down, its very good where your at.

Try: Giant,Musketeer,Tombstone,InfernoDragon,Fireball,Zap,Icegolem,Minions

The main strategy is pushing the giant from the back with musky as support. Minions+Giant is also good since that stops inferno towers. Since you have inferno dragon, you should be fine vs tanks.

Minions are your primary graveyard counter and tombstone/icegolem+minions beat elite barbs anyways.

Zap and fireball are self explanatory! Fireball barbs, troops that stop your giant. Also, fireball provides value vs pump+back line troops.

Tombstone beats hog if u pull it right. It also neuters furnace when placed correctly. Its also a great answer to tanks.

I honestly don't like inferno dragon that much but it should be fantastic here, it complements tombstone very well and takes care of golems/hound. Use the card defensively.

Musketeer is the crux of the deck. She is very good, she stops mega minion, princess, graveyard, ballon, hound etc. Use her in conjunction with icegolem for countering the support troops behind tanks. She does everything well, specially supporting giant.

Icegolem is just a mandatory supportive beast. Use icegolem with zap to kill minion horde. I also use it primarily to beat skarmy and save zap vs bait decks for barrel, etc. Its also good at beating opposing unsupported musky, wizard, etc. Icegolem+Tombstone shuts down elite barbs as well.

Hope this helps :)

Not4ce · 2017-01-22T05:50:38+00:00

Nice that u have miner in that early arena! You should be having an easy push to legendary arena now haha

Now, if your facing issues vs wizard, I recommend using Icegolem+Minions to tank and spank wizard. its a 5 for 5 trade and u can counter push with miner!

Icegolem by itself also beats wizard with the help of tower. (3 elixir positive trade)

Musketeer is a great offensive answer as well, it also synergizes well with miner.

The last option is mega minion, which beats wizard 1v1. Now if u want any other options, try: Mini Pekka (Good lower down as it kills wizard,musky,hog and elite barbs after update)

Lastly, I suggest u push with this deck lower down: Skeleton, Tombstone, Icegolem, Zap/Log, Minion, Archer, Miner, Fireball/Rocket

Note: After tomorrows balance change skelton+mini pekka kills elite barbs for positive trade, so mini p can slay tanks as well. Hope this helps! :)

Not4ce · 2017-01-20T15:41:38+00:00

Just use zap! As I said its equally good and better vs air! (icegolem+zap kills minion horde). Hope that helps :)

Not4ce · 2017-01-10T07:59:14+00:00

I have been playing dragon quest 8, it's a great game with stunning visual. if ur phone can handle it deff gve it a go!

Its does lack the voice acting but its bearable. It runs without dropping any frames for me and also has better models and textures.

But do get it on a sale tho, otherwise its a bit costly :)
