The matchmaking definitely sucks. Sometimes I play someone in a higher arena. One guy had a Prince, Barbarians, a Witch, Goblin Barrels, and a Cannon.

Well, it matches you on your level, not what cards you have.

The X-Bow kicks all sorts of ass. I've been putting it right in front of my main tower and it just destroys everything. The only thing that sucks is that it doesn't target flying enemies, but at that point the other three towers are shooting those guys. I've been close to arena 5 a couple times now, but then hit a losing streak and lose 100+ trophies. I still really enjoy the game though.

Writing in a Reddit AMA earlier this week, Clash Royale player Chief Pat revealed that he's spent a total of $30,000 on developer Supercell's games — $18,000 on Clash of Clans, which he's been playing for years, and a whopping $12,000 on Clash Royale, despite it just having come out at the start of 2016.
"I've never regretted it, because YouTube is my job," Chief Pat wrote. "It's a business expense, and I gotta show off all the coolest shit for my subscribers, ya digg?"
Chief Pat runs a popular YouTube channel with over 1.7 million subscribers. The vast majority of the channel's videos are devoted to Clash of Clans and Clash Royale. You can see a video where he takes first place on the game's leaderboards above.

Now I understand why the leader and top player in our clan gets so upset and frustrated with those he calls "Cheaters"...one's who essentially buy their way to the top. But good grief...$12,000!!! Heck...I'd look at $180 as a bit insane. I could see $30-$60 maybe but seriously, these people need to get a life.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
what are you guys' sets you use?
I've been going with the following 7 for a while:
-melee goblins
-minion horde
-minions
-barbarians
-little robot
-baby dragon (level 2)
-skeleton horder (level 2)
8th place has been alternating between goblin spears, bomber, arrows and rocket.
I alternate sides of attack and try and sneak through a good little robot or skeleton horde hit on their tower. I mainly use the minions and goblins as counters for princes, giants, witches and such

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
My current deck is:
Skeleton Army (lv 2)
Hog rider (lv 3)
Baby dragon (lv 2)
Goblin hut (lv 5)
Goblin barrel (lv 2)
Freeze (lv 1)
X-box (lv 1)
Minion horde (lv 7)
I'm mainly built for defense. And most of the games I win or lose comes down to a single tower (usually in overtime). I float around 1200 trophies and haven't spent a dime.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
I just got to Level 6 but my current deck is....
mini PEKKA (lv 4)...both Defense & Offense
Valkyrie (lv 4)...mainly Defense
Goblin Barrel (lv 2)...Offense
Barbarians (lv 7)...Defense & Offense
Minions (lv 6)...Defense Air & Ground
Goblin Hut (lv 4)... Offense
Musketeer (lv 4)....Defense Air & Ground
Skeleton Army (lv 2)...Mainly Offense
Reserved....I'll swap out and use a Bomber (lv 6) and try to put him behind the Goblins and Barbarians. He does quite a bit of damage.
I have a barbarian Hut I use a bit but it sucks (7) elixir. I did get a Xbow but at Level 1 it doesn't seem much and costs (6) elixir. A few others I use is Tombstone (lv 3), Witch (lv 1) and Rocket (lv 3)

Sweet, got a Giant Chest drop this morning. I also like how they just started labeling which arena the chests drop from. I guess that does make a difference, because I have two golden chests from two different arenas.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
I know nickdawgy mentioned this in our clan chat too, but I've basically been stuck around arena 3 and 4 for sometime now too. Feels like i'm not progressing at all anymore at this point

My wife finally convinced me to start playing this past weekend. It's pretty addictive but waiting to open a chest then having to wait some more to play again gets frustrating. At one point I had (3) 8 hour chests lined up.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
The past couple days have been real shitty for me. I was up to 1638 trophies and then down to around 1200 trophies. Going from arena 6 down to arena 4 was rough. Most of the losses came from trying out new decks with under leveled cards. I'm back to around 1450 now but am running into people that are putting money into the game.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
yeah i had the same thing happen. I was up in the 1400s at the spell caster arena but i started getting destroyed by people who put money into the game (level 3 balloons!) and fell all the way down to around 1000 and the barbarian bowl level after messing around with an 'all skeleton' themed team (total sucks).

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
I hate the balloons and goblin barrels. I use to hate the skeleton hoard, but now I just carry arrows in my deck to wipe them out. I had the hardest time getting past the 800 trophy mark yesterday. I finally got past it and up to 900 trophies today before losing my next 2 matches.
