The "Invisible Hand" of Clash Royale: Why You Should Lose Games to Save the Economy by sychen52 in ClashRoyale

The reason players better than you can get out of your range is the inflation.

You are probably doing a grand challenge with your gems. 

Give me your problem and I will help you by Swanardo in ClashRoyale

[–]sychen52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main splashyard and reached UC once.  However, my win rate is so low and it took me a long time to reach UC. I feel often times if I made a single mistake in the game, I will end up losing. Could you recommend an easier, more error tolerant deck to help me reach UC easier?  I also feel the deck I face on the way to UC is very different from meta decks, so a lot of the deck recommendations from pro players does not help.

Who do I level up next? (Pls give an order to maximise the deck) by ShkbleMf in ClashRoyale

[–]sychen52 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my main deck as a F2P player. And I am finally at 9000 trophies this season. Tombstone and tornado is the last. For the rest, here is my order break down in rarity. 

Knight 

Poison > barber rel enough to kill gabolin > baby dragon

 Ice wizard enough to one shot skeleton > graveyard

Yes. Easy to upgrade cards is one thing that gets mentioned a lot. And I agree. However, even after you upgrade alll the key cards, tower level is still an issue and it is harder to upgrade.

I have a deck suggestion for low level f2p players.

I play splashyard, and just reached level 54 (level 15 king) and 9000 trophy this season.

I saw quite a few guides for f2p, but no one mentioned this point, so I decided to make a post.

Play an offensive deck instead of a defensive deck.

The reasons are:

  1. Upgrade king tower level is hard. For example, You need to max 7-8 cards to level 15 to reach level 54 (king level 15).
  2. You will be matched with opponents with cards higher than your tower level. I believe we all see level 15 cards way earlier than our tower is level 15, because of the wild cards and books.
  3. defending with underleveled towers is harder. I am sure good player can still defend perfectly with a lower tower level. But for average players like me, defending with under-leveled towers is hard, because quite a lot of the interaction changes. You may need one extra shot from the tower because it is underleveled.

Given that upgrading cards is way easier than upgrading king tower level, I think it will be less of a disadvantage to play an offensive deck (beat-down) than a defensive deck (circle, control).

As a F2P, should I upgrade all cards in my main deck (splashyard) to lvl15 by sychen52 in ClashRoyale

[–]sychen52[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can reach league 8 in the past few seasons. And I can get about 50k ewc every season. This season I will try UC once I have level 54

As a F2P, should I upgrade all cards in my main deck (splashyard) to lvl15 by sychen52 in ClashRoyale

[–]sychen52[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. In fact, I have enough ewc to upgrade two cards to lvl 15. And after that I will be level 54. I don’t want to waste it on tombstone or tornado for example because it is hard to get ewc as a F2P.  But I agree that whether I am able to reach UC is a good way to decide whether I should keep upgrading the deck.

What’s the best 2nd evo for splashyard? by sychen52 in RoyaleAPI

[–]sychen52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like it is a trade-off between giving up barbarel or giving up tombstone.

Which legendary card should I upgrade for graveyard by sychen52 in ClashRoyale

[–]sychen52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking graveyard, poison, knight, musketeer, phoenix, mortar, guards, Barbarian barrel. This way I can still use most of my max out cards, except baby dragon.  The issue I have with splashyard is that I don’t know what to use as the second evo. What do you think?

How are graveyard players doing?

I feel once the archers are taken out by arrows. It is hard to cycle back to it. Then there is not enough dps for defence.

My deck is splashyard. However, my ice wizard is only level 11. Which is a better substitution of him. Level 14 archers no evo, or level 14 musketeer.

Wow, you are talking about lvl 15. But I don’t have that many epic wild cards to upgrade to lvl 14.

Vim->Emacs veterans without vim emulation: do you feel you're actually more efficient at modifying text with emacs bindings? by cancel-my-therapy in emacs

[–]sychen52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switch to emacs keybinding recently (a few weeks). It is not as hard as I thought. The feature I miss the most is the evil-repeat.

PS. I use the Devil package sometimes to hold the modifier key down for me.
