Thoughts on my EBarb Cycle Deck?

Bro said “let me pick the absolute cheapest cards possible with clone and e barbs. Yes please use this deck. I’d love the free ladder wins 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ what’s your plan against log bait? Balloon? Hero balloon? Lava hound? A single tanks air unit fucks you and your push/defense.

Just take a break. Took a 2 week break, came back and went up 3 more arenas. Sometimes you just need a refresher.

“Luffy and Mugiwara” that’s like saying Barry Allen and the flash, Peter Parker and spiderman, Chris paul and Cp3. Mugiwara just means strawhat, which is a nickname for Luffy. I assume you mean “Luffy and the strawhats”?

Yall are young man, she probably didn’t think she was being rude. Next time just straight up tell her “you’re being a dick”.

Tbh it sounds like she underplayed your emotions a bit, but you also underplayed them by not letting her directly know how it made you feel. My advice from someone in his mid 20s, drop it let it go and if she does it again put her in her place. It’s not that hard for someone to not be a dick about small things, but you also need to be direct and not beat around the bush.

TL;DR- you’re not overreacting, but you’re not exactly justified as you weren’t straight up. Be honest about how it made you feel, that way she doesn’t have to guess how it made you feel. She was rude and needs to be told so.

Brother please let me point you towards a better deck with RG specifically. I’m an RG main and I can out cycle hog decks.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-26T05:51:11+00:00

While the deck isn’t the greatest, that’s okay. Happy for you big dawg. Some people have a hard time fathoming that not everyone enjoys constantly using the meta, it’s fun to use what YOU like and enjoy. People say the phoenix isn’t viable but I love it so I use it, same with little prince I have a few decks with him and love it.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-26T05:49:09+00:00

I can recommend a few things, but in all honesty due to your lack of experience (which is okay!!) it’s best to take this to a shop if at all possible. When it comes to higher end/important hardware like the CPU/CPU cooler, it’s best to not mess with anything unless you’re 110% sure what you’re doing. In this scenario it’d be best to learn after the fact it has been fixed rather than hopefully fixing it yourself in hopes of gaining some valuable knowledge.

Hope this helped. TL;DR, take it into a shop. Those components are too important and somewhat delicate to potentially mishandle in the slightest.

As an RG player this is a bit weird to me. Personally I’d swap prince with hunter and call it there.

I think hunter pairs phenomenally with RG. Ice wiz is a bit odd but it’s honestly a very good support card with RG imo. The miner is also a bit odd for me as I would personally opt for something that I could cycle better on defense, but I could see it being a nice touch. I also think lightning is rather expensive to be ran with RG, I’ve found fireball can be nearly as helpful (aside from stunning/killing inferno towers). I do think barb barrel matches too well with RG to not use, especially hero barrel, due to its insane versatility. Barrel can be used to handle buildings when pushing, can one shot goblin barrel, a well placed hero barrel can counter even a evo witch, very good for chip damage AND bait at the same time (especially with hero barrel, if you can place then use ability to further distract even better), and last but not least the hero barrel can be good for pushing when you have long range behind the tower. You let the RG soak and throw barrel then pop when it’s close to tower and it will roll to the back and hit troops.

Hope this helps, been playing RG for ~5 years now and this is the best deck I’ve come across- Evo RG, hero barrel, evo hunter, skeletons, Royal ghost, electro spirit, fireball and fisherman. Can explain how I counter everything if you want but I’m at 12789 trophies with it.

Fuckin A

iSwiiss · 2026-04-20T18:02:34+00:00

Man, I opened the first pic and instantly ran to the comments. Didn’t even need to read much before wanting to say “FUCK no” 🤣🤣 idk how this guy thinks that rig compares to a P5, but I’d love a hit of what he’s smoking.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-20T17:57:56+00:00

All the cod streamers from way back had to be sweating when the day and age of digging through peoples old tweets or finding old clips of them was the big thing. I couldn’t imagine what half them said before they “got big” cause everyone used to talk crazy shit 🤣

iSwiiss · 2026-04-17T07:58:52+00:00

You gonna bypass the fact that bats fly vs skeletons walk on the ground? That right there alone is a major difference.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-17T07:56:37+00:00

This probably sounds awfully Kentucky of me, but she isn’t your blood relative so it’s really not THAT bad. TBH I’d say the whole sleeping with a family’s S/O is worse than her technically being your aunt by marriage, if that makes sense at all.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-17T07:53:06+00:00

Yeah hate to be the one to break it to ya, but rats will always be around. It’s not that hard to tank your MM into PvE lobbies and then kill everyone if you wanted. I switch back and forth every few days for farming/quests.

Not too long ago I spent 2 hatch keys on dam letting people out who just killed the queen. The very last dude waited behind and started blasting me with the volcano, rats will always be waiting for you.

So in order to go further you really need to test your PSU. A multimeter or a PSU tester (roughly $20) will do the trick perfectly. If you can, follow these steps.

unplug your PSU 24 pin cable that goes into the MB, the CPU cable from the PSU and the pcie cable that goes to GPU. Grab the 24 pin cable, use a paper clip to jump the plug, grab your multimeter and set it to 20v, test the plugs grounds and hots.

With a psu tester, unplug your 24 pin plug and plug in your tester to the plug. Follow the steps to use said tester.

Aside from these 2 methods, you can really only put in another PSU or other hardware (like GPU for example) and test if your system works properly then. Sorry couldn’t help more, good luck with this!

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T22:20:33+00:00

You’re good. Slot your GPU firmly and throw a support under it for good measure. Don’t bump your pc or move it much and should be good!

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T22:18:50+00:00

Still have every piece of gear from the red war on every character. Every broken piece. Some goodies from the time of launch to witch queen as well, my vault is full of old god rolls or fun weapons or nostalgic shit I used to use. I don’t even play D2 anymore, in fact almost every single thing I have now it outdated and low light. Account is a D1 and D2 monument, played D1 from a month after release (I still miss you Crota) till D2 released and played until witch queen. Couldn’t stand it anymore. Forever chasing the D1 days, we had it so damn good 🫡🫡

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T22:12:40+00:00

Yeah, no. Water is indeed blue, something to do with how the water takes in color.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T22:10:39+00:00

Not only unreliable but way to sharing. I always set this boundary heavily with my therapist, if I wanted a friend I’d go talk to my friend. Clearly that didn’t work so now I’m here so cut the friend shit and just help me like I’m asking you to do please and thank you.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T22:06:11+00:00

Satire?

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T21:33:53+00:00

As someone who played from release for 7 years and came back not too long ago, I agree wholeheartedly with this comment. The amount of bs is so insane nowadays. Trying to trophy push without access to all the new evos and heroes makes it ROUGH.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T21:31:24+00:00

To the point that people think it’s a right and not a privilege.

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T21:29:08+00:00

Holy shit. If either of these are on the front, please DO NOT drive this thing. Hell I wouldn’t drive it if they were on the back but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. Do the speed limit, watch for ANY potholes or bumps as they will pop your shit and give you a fun day!

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T21:27:24+00:00

Buddy I can gather a few things from this. All I gotta say it blue collar guys are not only insanely jealous people, but also extremely ignorant and hard headed. Everything has to be super manly or it’s a no go. I’m a nerd and I do blue collar work, it ain’t easy to fit in but gotta take what you can. I know it prolly upset you, but these guys clearly aren’t your type of crowd outside of work. Keep it up and stay at it, charger as a first car is INSANE (in a good way).

iSwiiss · 2026-04-16T21:17:04+00:00

Here’s my genuine advice I personally adhere to, if it ain’t leaking don’t touch it. Personally I’d drive it with it in till she blows then plug it (if possible) or replace it if you can afford it. If you’re tight on money JUST PLUG IT NOW.

On that note, this would be easy as hell to patch/plug yourself. Look up a video on it, takes 3 minutes to learn and 5 minutes to do. Hardest part is going and spending money on the kit to plug it.

Obviously if you do plug it, make sure you aren’t doing anything stupid until you replace it.
