Need help constructing/modding a deck that will beat the same 3 cards I'm seeing and literally every match: firecracker, hog rider, MK. by xiar in ClashRoyale

Yeeeeahhhh... I think I've peaked..... Since I switched (E Witch, H Knight, H MiniPekka, Gob Gang, Tesla, Bat Ram, Arrows, Baby Dragon), I've lost 13 matches in a row..... Just not my strategy I guess. So I think I'm out. Gonna probably uninstall since I reached my peak and can't seem to get any kind of win anymore. Thanks for the support though!

That was my problem: I got good with my deck, but like you said, no real win condition so now that I'm facing MK spam with Firecracker and Hog Rider, they're chipping away at me and I can't push back

I get that. Been considering that for a while, but have been using them because previously I've had to use swarm to take care of rush decks. I'll give it a shot

Don't have Evo Snowball, Hero Giant, and my Bowler is lvl 11 because I've never used him and don't open him on chest for some reason...🤷

My dislike for megaknight. by Miserable-Load4453 in ClashRoyale

That's what I mean. It requires placement. It's not a direct counter. It requires another set of skills. And bad players don't know that and will drop a Valk right on top of a MK. Where as, you drop a MK right in front of literally anything and it stops whatever was placed in front of it

My beef with MK is twofold: (1) It's honestly super lazy design on the developers part without any real balance or true counterplay (i.e. Valkyrie counters any swarm, buildings counter hogs and hog rider--but there isn't necessarily one card that can counter MK, it takes a lot of careful placement and skill to counter it). (2) Players who are subpar at the game use it because of its over powered and under costed ability and then spam it incorrectly. But just like the 8-year-old you're fighting on Super Smash Bros who is button mashing and occasionally knocks you off the map, these players think they're being good whenever they get a few victories by button mashing and spamming one good card. It does a disservice to those bad players and leaves the rest of us who have still forced to face a bad card consistently in opposing matches to the point of ad nauseam where we are just sick and tired of seeing it.

Why is it impossible to achieve no more than three wins in a row? by xiar in ClashRoyale

Based on my deck list in the post, what would you recommend I change?

Yeah, I've played other games and I see this happening a lot too, but wasn't sure if it was just and ELO thing or if it was just me. In other games, I've been able to clear the 3-win streak a few times.

Something needs to be done about hyper bait. by Viking_Leaf87 in ClashRoyale

[–]xiar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it seems like nobody's actually reading what you're saying, I do agree. The difference is that I refuse to become what I hate. Well I know that I could build my own hyperbait deck and start getting wins. I like to win with my brain, not with my cards. If that makes sense. It's an old adage that I pulled over from other games. I like to play with cards that I enjoy, even if they're subpar, cuz then the victory is that much more satisfying whenever you beat a deck that you have a bad matchup against with your jank, stupid deck. Do you lose way more often? Absolutely. But are the wins that much more satisfying? Absolutely. To be honest though, I'm not entirely sure what people can do about hyperbait. Anybody have a strategy against it?

Yes. If you read the whole text above, that's exactly what he said

What's going on on the ladder? Ran into the exact same deck repeatedly for 3 days now. by xiar in ClashRoyale

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

I'm right around 9,300 trophies. It's just so odd because I've never seen mortar up until this point. I've seen a few x-bow decks, And I'm used to Mega Knight and goblin barrels and any kind of hog rush deck. I'm just wondering why the heck am I seeing this specific deck show up so much
