Yup. :lol:

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I'm loving this new deck. Now up to 2500 trophies with only one loss today.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

What is it?

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I came close to doing that. That's why I stopped. I think the system is rigged.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

Barbarians lv9
Goblin Hut lv7
Hog Rider lv6
Inferno Tower lv7
Ice Wizard lv1
Spear Goblin lv9
Archers lv9

and then I pretty much rotate the last card between

Miner lv1
Goblin Barrel lv3
or Fireball lv6

The game has been fun but I'm starting to get worn out and haven't really been itching to play much lately. Right now I have three empty chest slots and unlocking my last golden chest. So I'll probably take a break for a bit and just open the free chests and wait for the next update hoping they add some new cards.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

i keep playing this game and just keep doing worse and worse even though im upgrading my units. I'm all the way back to PEKKAs playhouse or whatever that level is called, haha.
The local tournament thing was crap. I played 4 rounds and just got destroyed by higher level players (likely hacking unless there is a legit way to have 3 of the legendary tanks on the field at once)

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I completely changed my deck and I'm waxing everyone now.

What I'm using:
Pekka (lvl 4)
Dragon (lvl 3)
Wizard (lvl 6)
Witch (lvl 3)
Valk (lvl 6)
Fireball (lvl 7)
Minion horde (lvl 9)
Freeze (lvl 3)

Pekka with a wiz or witch behind is beastly. He tanks and the wiz knocks out any horde type enemies. Only downside is pekka is easily distracted toward buildings if you drop them while he is headed to a tower. So far, it's allowed me to jump up over 2000. I'm finally getting lvl 7 arena chests.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I feel your pain. After being dropped all the way down to the 1300's range, I played around with my deck as nothing I was using seemed to work for more than a match or two. And for the first time I surpassed the 1700 trophy mark yesterday and reached the 1800 range only to be knocked down 400 trophies just trying to get my crown chest.

It's to the point where I am contemplating dropping this game as it has becoming increasingly frustrating to play when it feels like I am stuck for long periods of time without making any progress. And another thing, as long as I have been stuck on Arena 5, I have yet to unlock the Lava Hound, Golem, Mirror or Ice Wizard. Other than the Mirror, I have never had any of those offered to purchase either.


Just tried lining those same cards up in my deck and I see the avg. elixir cost is 4.8. A lot higher avg than I use, but I may give it a try.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I spoke too soon. I have been getting worked. People are learning with pekkas that if you distract them with low level troops, you can swarm them.

I will say this about the game. If this isn't the most blatant pay to win model for a freemium game, I don't know what is. Unless you pay, you can't get premium cards or the volume of cards you need. Even though it clash of clans, you feel like you can compete without paying. This game, not so much.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

Yeah, this game can be pretty shitty at times. I went down about 400 trophies over the past week trying out new decks. Then yesterday, I went 10 for 11. Now today, I'm 0-4-1.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I feel like the game's matchmaking is doing something to deliberately match you up with guys with decks that can counter yours. At least after you go on a small winning streak or something.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I agree with this completely. They must be using some sort of algorithm to determine an opponent with high chance of winning to prevent people dominating.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

how did you get the PEKKA to level 4? isnt level 3->4 like 10 cards?
I changed my deck up and started using furnaces and fire spirits. its really annoying for the opponent so even if i lose, i still have fun.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I struggle mightily with the Lava Hound and when I run into one person using it, I usually end up playing someone else with it the next 2-3 games. Same goes for the Golem, though I have gotten better at defending against it. Now I need to learn how to defend against sparky.


I use the furnace also. It's good for taking out minions and spear goblins. Plus it's also a great distraction for hog riders, balloons and giants.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

i didn't upgrade any cards for like 3 weeks, so i had a huge stash of gold. i had accumulated like 7 of them somehow and then they were on one of the sunday specials. i bought 3 and upgraded.

people that are lvl 9 mostly know how to deal with pekkas. lvl 7's rarely do and 8's are about 50/50.

i think my biggest gripe with this game is how characters act. numerous times i've had one of my characters literally right next to the tower. as in the next step and it's attack. someone will throw down something, anything behind or near my character (usually a pekka), and then it distracts the pekka away from the tower. that's complete bullshit. if the character is locked onto a target, it needs to go at that target. no turning around or pausing. i hate that with a passion.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

i hate that on the opposite side. when a witch or wizard is attacking a tower and i drop some fire spirits by them and they turn away from the tower and kill the spirits before they can explode

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

after running with this for a while, i was getting opponent after opponent who would drop defensive items (cannon, inferno tower, etc) to distract the pekka. so i swapped out the witch with ice wizard. i usually drop the ice wizard right behind the pekka. he slows down flying units and does some damage but it also slows down any ground troops. has been working better. i am hovering right around 2000. usually within 100 above or below it.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

Finally got a super magical chest...All the rares were freeze spells, what a waste.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I just got the Lumberjack. I'll see if I can work him in my current deck.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I faced off against someone yesterday with the log. Is there anything that I can use to defend against it, or is it like the fireball, lightning, etc. where there is nothing you can do to stop it?

Also, after mentioning not having received certain cards the other day, I finally unlocked the mirror and the elixir pump card. I worked my way back up past 1700 trophies only to be knocked back down to <1500 trophies. :gah:

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

Pretty sure you can't stop the log. I faced a guy who had the bowler. It does damage and pushes you away too. Pita

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

One of my favorite cards. I would love to have a chest full of them.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

Anyone still playing this? I hung in there and made it to 2300 trophies only to be knocked back down to 2100. Couple of bitch points...

1) Despite making it to arena 8, I have yet to unlock a single legendary card. I am constantly playing against players with troops I have yet to unlock.

2) Every since I have been level 8 I have been playing more level 9 players by a very wide margin than any other level. They have even started throwing level 10 players at me and I have yet to even make it to level 9(few hundred points away). So it has been to my disadvantage nearly every game.

3) That Sparky card seems way to over powered. The only way I have been able to defend against it is with the minion hoard, but that's only if I am able to get those to it since other players are putting wizards/witches behind it to eliminate any threats.


My biggest nemesis is still the lava hound. I have only beaten it a couple of times and that was the other player did not know how to properly play with it. Miners are a bitch too as they seem to take a lot to defeat him.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

Still playing. Was up to nearly 2800 but lost or tied 11 in a row, so I am hovering about 2450.

I too was getting 9's and 10's when I was an 8. Sucks, but you can overcome. I am lvl 9 now. When I was an 8 and even now, I seem to do better with lvl 10's for some odd reason. That seems to tell me those are pay to win players with less skill.

I agree sparky is a bitch. My strategy is to have freeze and minion horde together. Freeze then horde it. Big pekka can tank it, but shit behind it gets hit too.

I have 4 legendary cards (sparky, ice wiz, fire archer and lumberjack). I only use ice wiz. If you see someone with any lvl 2 legendary or higher, they are most likely pay to win players.

Re: Clash Royale - Android & IOS
 

I deleted it about a month ago and never looked back. The frustration level was always more than the satisfaction level, so that was a sign to move on.
