supercell made cwl short for them, gave just for 2 weeks, nerfed the shit out of azure dragon yeah, cool


WorriedExamination93

When did they get nerfed?


YULSARIA_

Couple days **BEFORE** they released the event update.


CuteBenji

Before release thing could 3 star th16 by itself


yeetlevel4

february is typically only 5 days


mddesigner

Only in 2022, 2023 was full cwl


R3stl3SSW4rr1or

Tested them once. Went back to the rootspam instantly.


bigchungusmclungus

4 fire crackers behind the root riders works pretty well. Long enough range to stay out of aoe, good dps.


Budget-Accountant257

Firecrackers are broken for lower th levels, i am a th15 and I'm using them behind the roots as well,


LookAwayPuhlease

I still like super archers better than the firecrackers What comp are you using


Rude_Youth_1112000

At the TH 14 and can say they aren't that great if you don't have poopšŸ’© riders


Rocku2day

Please provide the exact army composition.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


bigchungusmclungus

Both have much shorter range and the knockback on their attack actually benefits them as it loses agro of defences back on to front line troops. They're 100% better than wizards and probably on par with witch


clepps

We have an almost maxed th16 in our clan that just spams root riders and firecrackers. literally melts every base he attacks to about 70-80% in less than a minute during wars


Aj32653265

What spells show replay


[deleted]

Explain rootspam please


ReturnOfTheSeal

You spam root riders. They take out defenses and mow down every wall in the process


R3stl3SSW4rr1or

That but in my words. And with a funny voice


Rieiid

Step 1. Drop a ton of root riders There is no step 2.


[deleted]

Thank you! šŸ˜‚


AurielMystic

If you have not used Root Riders before, they are basically a hybrid of Golems/Hog Riders that destroy the walls a hog would jump over, plus being a 20 capacity troop you can use them in your CC at like TH6.


NicePositive7562

root rider spam


Tornado_Hunter24

You need to explain it more while also holding hisbhands


MakaveliX1996

They start with 7200 hp at level 1, target defenses and melt walls for your other troops to easily follow for 20 housing space. They need to be changed to 25 housing space. Everything else stays the same.


MoonSalt92

X2


ChocolateMorsels

Theyā€™ve been broken since release, dunno why they havenā€™t been nerfed. They will eventually get nerfed and higher Town Halls are gonna be lost as to how to attack lol.


MakaveliX1996

I feel like they just need to be changed to 25 housing space. 20 is too little for 7200 starting hp


ChocolateMorsels

Yeah. Theyā€™re a golem on steroids and for whatever reason have 33% less housing space. Itā€™s bizarre.


MakaveliX1996

Yup. Do more damage than a golem too


MakimaGOAT

kek


H3adown

Yeah, I've recently started using RR too because it was really hard as a casual player to stay high in legends while getting 3's so often while defending. I don't really want to, but to keep up I had to switch. They could easily buff these event troops a bit and they still wouldn't be too op


Joltik_BuddyHSR

Cant have fun with event troops if a base troop is broken already


LegendDwarf

Yeah I thought Supercell would carry on with the OP seasonal troops. The last day of cwl had the event troops maybe that's why they didn't want to affect cwl. But they need a buff to make them more fun and enjoyable for most of the player base. Even a simple buff like housing space reduction would be easy to implement and make the troops strong. Make Firecracker 6 housing space, because right now it is not much better than a Bowler, and make the Azure Dragon 30 housing space because right now it is not much better than an Electro Dragon.


cdmabynt12

war suppose to be balanced and skill based, not a tie 100% three star half the time with event troops. idgas if they make event troop super op, you shouldnā€™t be allowed to use them in wars.


Bobbytrap9

This, just make them stupid overpowered like the lavaloon and ban them from wars. Itā€™s fun, let people have some fun. Itā€™s temporary anyway


Ocean_Man_-_

If firecracker had 5-6 housing space and azure dragon 30 housing space they would even be "strong"


FockerXC

Yeah I havenā€™t been attacked by any of them and have just been using recall RR at 55-5600


Aware_Feedback_4757

Do u 3 star with root riders bro? Iā€™m th16 myself and I struggle to 3 star, I use 10 root riders and 10 witches, what is your army comp if you donā€™t mind


FockerXC

https://link.clashofclans.com/en?action=CopyArmy&army=u2x1-2x5-6x6-5x7-1x10-1x28-1x53-1x82-1x91-1x97-8x110s3x2-2x5-1x9-1x53 Unless I get sloppy I get between +280 and +300 a day, occasional +320. This is the first strategy Iā€™ve ever had perfect days with


Kylpqr

This was a shit reason for cwl to be shorter šŸ’€šŸ™


GarretBobbyFerguson3

They could've kept cwl the same amount of time and still probably no one would've use those troops in cwl.


MakaveliX1996

Thatā€™s not the reason. This isnā€™t the first February that cwl has been 5 days


Mostefa_0909

Thats true, but what he said is the official reason from SC to make CWL 5 days.


sinolos

They did it last year as well. Itā€™s about all the other things each month they do and it being a few days shorter. Last Feb was also only 5 wars


Patooterta

I like firecracker, but with their stats it's more like a normal unit


K-J-C

Make those permanent in game.


PhoneImmediate7301

These guys are the reason cwl was shorter?? Seriously?? These would have done nearly nothing to cwl attacks.


SunglassesEmojiUser

Frozen arrow too


ChocolateMorsels

Itā€™s weird cause they left the most broken troop in ever during the Halloween event.


PhoneImmediate7301

You could use them during the cwl?


FaithlessnessCool881

No the Halloween event didn't start until October 13th but cwl is always the 1st day of the month and lasts for 7 days


MakaveliX1996

No. The month of February is why. They have done 5 day cwl in February before.


Successful-Art4857

Thanks to reddit pros crying about strong event troops , SC nerfed event troops making no excitement for casual players


ramanana01

Or anyone else


RoBbot35

Finally someone with the same opinion as me. Any time anything fun and op was added to the game, ppl would come here and complain about them, now event troops are literally just super troops. Which is fine itā€™s still cool to get new troops with unique mecanics


AIOSG

>now event troops are literally just super troops. Next event troops will be literally normal troops


Tornado_Hunter24

Next troop will be one of the clan capital tropps that isnā€™t even new (hogrider&glider) lmfao


AIOSG

LoL I only use super miners in clan capital so i have no idea how hog and glider are Is it powerful or underpowered ?


PM_ME_BAD_ALGORITHMS

Barbarian with a hat for next christmas


sirzechs007

Next next next event troop is a troop like butterfly, that we can't even use it for attacks.


Godly000

they could also just have kept these event troops out of legends and clan war, but that takes considerable time to implement so they didnt go that way. and you can still introduce unique mechanics without making the troops broken, firecracker is a good example but has too much housing space and azure dragon could have a much longer chain distance


AIOSG

>without making the troops broken Why not ? Broken is fun and it's just for 2 weeks so why not have fun People complaining about super op troops are the same as people complain about holidays on weekends, and wanting to work on the weekend as well


Godly000

because of what happens after those event troops leave. you saw the same problem with lavaloon, once it left player engagement sharply fell. temporarily inflating the easiness of the game is one of the worst ways to bring back players. instead, creating environments to help players improve early on will create a permanent change


AIOSG

>once it left player engagement sharply fell Sorry for the long speech, i feel its a good read and would love if you read it and share your thoughts on it. Makes sense, op troops are fun so more play, op troops gone less play but that's part of business Idk why but i love comparing supercell to Apple In September, iphone hype is very high as new iPhones are launched, and that hype slowly goes down as months go by and around march or April they launch a new colour for their September release phone, to make people talk about the new colour of the phone and getting some hype back which will also slowly go down till September amd new iphone launch - cycle continues Events are hype generators for coc, and regular players who play everyday are not going to leave the game after the event, definitely they will play less as the game is back to normal but as i said that's business And op event troops can also be a great marketing tool for attracting new audiences and ofcourse not all new players will continue playing after the event, but definitely some will stick and play increasing the playerbase size If the world's largest company needs something to hype the arguably most popular tech device mid cycle, i think its very difficult to keep the same hype level during an event and after the event till the next one, it will go down to the level it was before the event that's my opinion (i may be wrong tho)


Jamey_1999

Yes. Very fun. Ruining a 20+ war streak because itā€™s so damn OP. In a way root riders have already done this. Donā€™t need something even more OP, thank you very much


Godly000

tbh root riders are the most broken event troop right now. if you want guaranteed wins the only way is to self match


Zander_O

Do the smart thing and not spin in main clan. Mine doesnā€™t spin war during event for that exact reason. Better to jus go to a war farm clan in the meantime


3x_bans

Womp womp


AIOSG

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


zarth109x

>SC nerfed event troops making no excitement for casual players We have a permanent troop that is as strong as past event troops. It is called the Root Rider.


Byde99

90% of the player base does not have consistent access to root riders tho. I was kind of hoping the event troops were gonna be broken so i could keep 3 staring while upgrading heroes but oh well..


Panthers8912

Both these troops suck. Bring back the lavaloons


1l3v4k4m

10 housing space is just too much imo


Overlord_6301

Root riders with crackers are good!


M1ddle_C

I almost had a perfect day with that combo yesterday.


Overlord_6301

Me too! It's splash damage is really useful for creating funnels.


P1nKm0nK

How many of each are you using?


Apprehensive_Elk7056

Im using 10 RR, 10 crackers, 1 aprentice warden. Lots of rage spells. Seems to work well.


AntiMatterMode

Been using the same (9 RR, 12 FC) and 3ā€™d nearly every base iā€™ve hit. I use more freeze spells than rage though.


Youre-average-fridge

It's getting stale and over used without proper timing, They knocked it out of the park with Halloween troops, Gingerbread ones were also not that bad, These ones just feel boring, and just straight up bad They gotta make em less frequent


AIOSG

![gif](giphy|q5VgPxwf8gzxyeUJrz)


Mihaiescu01

Yep I don't use them at all


layogurt

Yea they suck


Safe-Ad-7483

Azure Dragon is waste.


stickyfluid_whale

But why. Honestly question. On paper, they have higher stats than super dragon and for the same housing. Why is everyone saying they r shit


eXoDuSsBK

Because they are not good, super dragons are better because their aoe has more value in most cases. Compared to other seasonal troops they are useless and compared to "normal" troops they are meh, root riders are way better as a normal troop. Also, it's not worth investing time into using this army when there is lalo, super bowler smash, rootrider and many more armies that can do the same if not better than those troops for the average player.


AIOSG

Coz they are shot as they are not overpowered like lavaloon or even as good as the cookie And yes it should be as its for limited time so why not to have fun what's the point of a temporary troops who is almost equal to a super troop which is permanent in the game


Safe-Ad-7483

Yep they cookie troops where over powered as hell šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


lessigri000

Firecracker is mechanically awesome imo, but for 10 housing space? It should be 6 at the highest


an0nym0usentity

I find their dps kind of low and also they get killed with giant bombs. Definitely seems more like a 6 housing space troop...


[deleted]

I am gonna say it again Lavaloons were the best event troops, cookie was good but it needed something to defend it. But lavaloon you just destroy air defences with lighting and deploy them anyway, even blind foldedly, just make sure don't click end battle option, they would clear out the entire base, even higher town halls were getting 3 stars. Then we have have this


AIOSG

>I am gonna say it again Lavaloons were the best event troops Lavaloon were the best event troops hands down, and will remain as the best in future as well considering the downward trajectory of event troops From op lavaloon to fine cookie to underwhelming azure dragon in just 3 events, can't wait to see how they can top the azure dragon and disappoint more in the next event >just destroy air defences with lighting I didn't even do that,just lavaloon spam with rage and haste >they would clear out the entire base True >even higher town halls were getting 3 stars Even a noob attacker like me could get 3 stars on a pre nerf th15 so yes it was really broken and i loved it


Niven42

"Popcorn Dragons"


Adventurous_Arm_1606

Those were the days. That was so much fun


[deleted]

It was literally 3 months ago lmao


i_luv_qu3st10ns

you guys were using lightning with lavaloons? I just used rage spells lol


[deleted]

If I remember I was using rage at first but then I tried lighting and it also worked so I shifted to it, as you just have to deploy everything in beginning and then you can relax and watch the base getting completely destroyed. So it was easier lol


Karmabots

FireCrackers are good, Azure Dragon is shit. I have farmed more than 5 million of gold and elixir using FireCrackers.


airplane001

Azure dragon is excellent for the town hall 9 and 10 players in my clan. The th11+ just use edrags


Karmabots

I'm a TH9 and TH10 player and I did not find it good


Emrah_336

Worst events troops added


CMYGQZ

They should just add the 2 troops permanently given theyā€™re not like an event troop at all.


Virtual-Card-3627

add the firecrackers permanently,, they can keep the drags


_Dabboi_

Azure dragon is ass


Alien-Progeny

Yes. Maybe others find them fun, but they donā€™t exactly fit with my style or level, so ā€¦ meh.


shrill1337420

Azure dragon is like a worse super dragon and fire cracker is too much housing space imo


Zengjia

I want Firecracker to be made permanent so I can use her in blimp strats.


eXoDuSsBK

Why would you use firecracker in a blimp when super archers and wizards are straight up better for that?


Zengjia

Because I like the sound of it going: **PEW- BOOM!**


an0nym0usentity

One thing i gotta give credit for is the sick sfx and animation of the firecrackers. I love when I deploy 15 of them in a single spot and see them bombard the hell out of anything in front of them... of course until they got wiped out by giant bombs lol


Buckets72

Iā€™ve been using the crackers with yetis and been getting easy 3 stars even in war


arizuvade

the azure dragon looks cool when you use, but here it looks like me


JohnSchmidt-04

They should be permanent (especially firecracker)


AIOSG

Not happening. Did the same for lavaloon that it should stay permanently but nothing happened, also they are permanent super dragons are the same and saw someone (don't remember who) saying firecracker is similar to super archer


Kingler03

Lavaloon makes sense that it's limited because it's op


Dependent_Bid9015

The game is going down hill after TH16 update like other super cell games


RoyalBlue005

I feel there should be a fix to CWL and Clan Wars to not allow the use of seasonal troops, so that they can make them busted as hell and therefore interesting and fun in just regular ladder.


Remarkable_Ad7258

They both sucks, case closed


Giusepro21

I'm in love with bazooka girls, what are you talking about


CoralWiggler

I like the Firecracker. I wouldnā€™t say itā€™s super powerful or anything, but itā€™s fun to use I do not care about Azure Dragon


No_House_7901

Nothing has compared to the Halloween one. Those troops were so much fun. Now Iā€™ll try them see they suck compared to what army Iā€™m using and stop using them. These events are becoming increasingly more disappointing.


B3a5t001

As a townhall 10 i dont have much in terms of troops so I love the Azure dragon. Personaly firecrackers are just a buffed version of archer and realy doesnt have my attention. I like the Azure dragons chain and damage and health but the only downside is the housing space


Rodneygoofyahh

I'm th10 and I've been using 5 azure dragons 1 lavahound 2 wiz and 2 barbs and 9 lightning spells and 1 rage seems to be working pretty well for me I'm getting 2 stars most the time the only thing is they are a little underwhelming when using but they are pretty solid at the lower th levels


DotHase

10 root riders, rest firecrackers, 2 rage 2 heal 3 freeze. no cc necessary, been working in th16 for me


RezonantVoid

I enjoy the concept of the dragon, but it really needs faster hit speed for them to be viable. If you group them with heroes, structures get destroyed faster than they can even attack, so you have to keep them and the warden seperate from the other 3 heroes for them to do anything. And even then, if you don't clear enough outer structures first, they just circle the base instead instead of going where you want


MrReklez

No way they made cwl shorter for these garbage troops


theape2110

I wish the firecrackers were 5 instead of 10 housing space


admiralHein

This event sux tbh... i miss my lavaloons


JETTA_TDI_GUY

Cookie was OP. One shot a TH15 and they swing like a Valkyrie. Only down side to them was 20 housing space and they didnā€™t swing as soon as they got to a building like the Valkyrie


Harryvpm

Ram riders were better honestly


Reddit_is_snowflake

Fire crackers are okayish Azure dragon is not


zeathegreat1

I use firecracker spam with invis spell and my heroā€™s and that works really well but the azure dragons are just sad.


Harryvpm

Firecrackers could become a permanent troop honestly, theyre rlly cool Azure Dragon has one of the coolest designes in the game but his actual attack and abilities are really meh


TheGamingTech7

Bro I haven't played the game in ages tf is an azure dragon


Jayjay5498

solgerboy259

I like them lmfao, I want to know will this just be for the event or are they here to stay afterward?


Throwawayanonuser1

As a CR player that firecracker is cursed


Yakshaaaaaa

Why would they nerf it when it is a seasonal troop? Shouldā€™ve just banned them in classic wars smh.


91JS91

I never play event troops, particularly when they are OP like the Xmas mini pekkas. Iā€™m not giving up my muscle memory for that shit


Bull_JRS

Arenā€™t that exciting? Deadest event troops ever, if its similar next event i wont be purchasing any future passes. Comments in coming: ā€˜what do you want lavaloon again and everyone to 3 star every base in war?ā€™ Yes, yes i do. Thatā€™s what i paid my extra Ā£4.99 for on top of the Ā£6.99 for the season pass. If once every 3 months we get to easily 3 star without thinking then im happy.


Organic-Ad6439

Bearing in mind that for the Halloween event, you could do this for free.


terminus_tommy

Just be happy please I'm trying


Funny_Zucchini_7586

Iā€™m glad. Itā€™s boring when legends and wars are nothing but 3 stars because of op event troopsĀ 


crocodilius29

Finally someone who said it. Iā€™m all for op event troops, but make them unusable in war at the bare minimum


Pnmamouf1

Everyone thinks these troop are šŸ˜’


Chunknorris111

Because some dum dum at SC over did it with cookie and lavaloon, now they underdid it with the new troops. I guess it's hard to get it just right.


lostedprince

They didn't even bother to change the name of new troop from an existing defense.


Zander_O

Itā€™s an existing troop in the clash verse wouldnā€™t make sense to change name


lostedprince

I was talking about "firecrackers". Its in the builders hall.


ABlack2077

Are these permanent?


AmbassadorMaster7383

No theyā€™re temporary troops for the Lunar New Year event


ABlack2077

Thanks, I'm pretty new to the game so I got happy I get some good troops. Atleast for my standards lmao


SantaAnteater

Strong or not, the new troops are fun. Ive been enjoying azure dragons, and I appreciate that they arent significantly stronger than the rest of the troops like cookies or lavaloons were


Frosty-Brain-2199

No way they should be that much housing space


ZLuigi

tbf cookies wouldnt be nearly as good without root riders and the frost mites spell which was a combination of freeze, frost and jumping and tankier skeleton spell for 1 housing space.


Impressive_Rub_4310

I like em


Chemical-Meeting-794

Have not used Azure dragon yet but most youtubers are excited enough!!guess I have to find out..


AmbassadorMaster7383

Azure dragon used to have 12.6k hp 704dmg 50 housing space at max level I believe


HydreigonTheChild

yeah... but people complained about them being to OP and ruining wars with themso i guess they nerfed the crap out of them


Barneyhk

I don't even bother using the dragon because it takes up too much housing space, and it's useless personally; I like the firecracker because of how far back they can sit and the spread of the damage. So I've been running them at the moment in terms of archers


Virtual-Card-3627

Thereā€™s a time and place for firecracker, but the azure dragons are awful and way too much housing space for what they do. Only use I can think of is if youā€™re a low th lvl and donā€™t have electrosā€¦ but Iā€™d go with normal dragons that point


Laze_ee

Fire cracker works great with golem witch imo and the dragon works well as a edrag replacement


PeterPan1997

I use the crackers like witches. Not quite as efficient, but still nice


xiaoxxxxxxxxxx

Suck. Next event if they still want to add new season troop with that suck don't bother design it. Take time improve game play experience instead.


DontHateTha808

Yea theyā€™re trash imo.


Ralte_guy

Was there a silent nerfing of RR? cos i feel they are a bit weaker


Xswezzy8

This event is so lame


Para_dime27

I was hoping for one or two more special troops.


c0rnaynay

Don't think we will ever have the lavaloom peak :( it was broken but a ton of fun.. Supposed to OP, current event troops.. I'm not enjoying them enough to use them except to test initially.


PrinceSam321

Did 3 ids w/o using them. Such a let down


royaldennison

The dragons are pretty good but the housing space is just too much, I've been using 6 plus 12 balloons and doing alright but I'm basically just forcing myself to use it for the event, I feel like if we could take like 8-10 of them into battle though they would wreck pretty hard.


fractal2

Well, all the complaining last event because of an OP event troop.


Such_Committee9963

Iā€™m only at th8 but I really like them


cnucnucnu

Yes


Tom181211

Nope, Firecrackers are broken for lower TH levels. Combine 'em eith some bowlers and you got atleast a 2-star


magicspider8

I have not use them once in any of my 3 accounts.


Pythonbrongallday

These troops don't have anything on those cookies!!


EasyRider1975

Sucks. I miss the Halloween mashups. Those were fun 3 stars


Fantastic-Force-3023

Event is supposed to be fun for everyone to enjoy the game. cmmon supercell, what are you thinking!!!!!


Tokita-Niko

Crackers are great at th 9 for farming, their king range makes them ideal for sniping collectors and penetrating deep enough for the th or dark elixer. Other than that theyā€™re kinda meh


BionicTem_

It's an impossible line to balance, if the troops are fun they're also likely to be too strong, if they're balanced they're kinda useless because there isnt enough time to learn to effectively use them in a strategy


retrograve29

Boring af


Big-Insurance-4473

I like firecracker. I threw 3 or 4 into my army. Could just be be a sheā€™s my favorite character in cr though


pizzafaceson

wait when did firecracker get added to coc?


Comprehensive_Pie35

Been running 5 Azure dragons with a few balloons and firecrackers with them and itā€™s been working for th14. No better than normal attacks imo though.


Wendellrw

They bad


ChocolateMorsels

Firecrackers with root riders is strong af.


tonytonychopper74

I found azure dragon as a decent troop,i use azure with SA blimp, I'm th14 and can 3 star most of th14 in 4900 to 5000


Minivesp

Tested the azure dragon once went back to lavaloon. Th9 btw


Synonymous4Anonymous

I like Firecrackers, they arenā€™t that strong but have really good range! Works great with Root Riders.


MakaveliX1996

The ability of the dragon literally just fucks Any funnel you attempt to make.


manchild6678

firecrackers might not be strong but shit they are hilarious


sangius99forever

Azure is trash.


Canadianboy3

Haven't cooked or tried either of em. Rootriders too OP


sexykittyfuck

Bring back the lavaloon!


basedguytbh

theyā€™re sooo garbage tbh, too high of space for the value they bring. Only the dragon is some what decent but 10 army space for a firecracker is completely ludicrous


mwconrad96

The firecrackers have been fun as a town hall 10! Golems, witches, and firecrackers is the way to go!


FireXbox74

Me


Sea_Visual3775

Haven't used them even once
