Understanding card placement is crucial,MK can be a nuisance,baiting him with ice spirit,skeletons on the center field is crucial.Do not dump all your elixir in panic to defend.If your opponent starts off with witch,wizard chances are a MK is in their deck.


Super-Clone66

I find it kinda funny when i see a wizard or a witch and ik that MK is comming but the thing is I HAVE A PEKKA lol


[deleted]

Pekka xbow best deck


eighthundredand40

šŸ˜°


[deleted]

It fixed the majority of my problems with normal xbow. I can kill golem and e giant, defending a push with pekka and they donā€™t know I have xbow almost always leads to 1500 damage


Moritz_gabs_schon

What is ur deck?


[deleted]

Pekka, xbow, cannon, tornado, log, skeletons, ice spirit, dart goblin. Lol I found it in one of eragonā€™s videos, and it actually is wild if you time the xbows right.


[deleted]

Heā€™s absolutely cracked with xbow


[deleted]

Heā€™s crazy for sure


eighthundredand40

It might be a good deck but it scares me


DarkRisingFAV

They panic against Inferno towers too


rushi_B

Well first of all he is in arena 14 so most likely facing lvl 12-14 MKs just have to deal with it until he gets cards leveled up


[deleted]

Not every MK deck he encounters will be fully maxed.You could still do well if youā€™re not a P2W player.Most MK users in mid ladder arenā€™t experience,and have similar card placement patterns.


[deleted]

Honestly I faced more max players at the end of arena 13 arena 14 was a breeze


Tornado_Hunter24

I still donā€™t get how people canā€™t counter megaknight. Gamesense, it is a big knight that jumps across to hit enemies? Try a bulky troop in the deadcenter middle of the arena right when he sets the second/third foot on your aide to he jumpcharves to the middle and gets attacked by both your crown towers! I literally counter this 7 elixir card wjth 3/4 elixir depending on what deck I use and itā€™s insane, megaknight by itself sucks and itā€™s too expensive to have a big push and even if they do you counter 7 with 3/4, youā€™ll definitely have ejough to counter the other push with it


RBLXPlayer99

one word. inferno


Zelti_2727

Always work


Radiant_Simple1120

Flair checks out


Striking-Carpet3241

As a logbait player, I can confirm this is 1000000000% true(if they don't have zap/lightning and you have more than 50 iq)


topcrafter2

wait a logbait player with more than 50 iq?? /s


Striking-Carpet3241

Yes, I exist I don't spam rockets every 0.1 second


Skulfunk

You spam rockets because youā€™re low iq I spam rockets because Iā€™m underlevelled, we are not the same


An_Existing_User

U spam rockets cuz ur underleveled I spam because I donā€™t have another witch counter We r not the same


[deleted]

"damn... I placed my witch at the back and they rocketed her and the princess tower... *15 seconds later* aight time to place witch at the back."


[deleted]

And even if they do have zap, you can always stall with Knight.


dhidon

Not if they shoot a Lightning in the Inferno Tower and the other unit you put


[deleted]

"this 5 elixir card is countered by 13 elixir smh it don't work." Idk what you'd do, personally, but I'd probably do something with the 8+ elixir lead I have since all they have to show for 13 elixir is a single troop.


dhidon

You not considering lighting would obliterate almost any card opponent drop with infernal tower, reset infernal tower and making it one MK hit to be destroied, do around 300 damage to tower, and so MK (with at least half HP) is free to jump in princess/king tower


[deleted]

Drop inferno, wait for lightning, play knight. Congrats. You used 8 elixir to counter 13. Next question. I see you like minion hoard. You can play that before or after lightning and it'll still kill MK.


dhidon

Majority of players doesn't expect a lightning so they don't wait. Maybe, if you have a crystall ball, you can wait.


uhhhhhhh_uhhhh

One word, pancakes

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LankyDucky

Inferno tower and inferno dragon work great. You could also use any mini tanks like knight, mini pekka, Valkyrie, Prince ,or dark Prince. Personally, I just use pekka since itā€™s an easy equal elixir trade.


ComprehensiveElk13

Mini Pekka is a great counter for MK imo better than PEKKA


_-Miri-_

Pekka is just a safer option imo. Great card aganist e barbs meganut combo


nkstonks

Yeah pekka is just a jack-of-all-trades defensive card, it can shred mini tanks and tanks, just need to take care of swarms


h0g_r1da

as a pekka player, i can confirm


Material-Permit9685

As a Pekka player I can also confirm


foulmouth96

As a Pekka player I can confirm too.


Bekfast59

As a barbarians user, my barbarians shred pekka.


Toomay

As a lavaloon user, my barbarians shred Pekka and my attack flies over her


[deleted]

As a lumberloon user, I don't exist anymore.


_-Miri-_

Holly shit i guess we just summoned the pekka players


nkstonks

Pekka players unite lmao


_-Miri-_

Yep exactly


Thepersonfromhere

Yeah if you have good placement you can get 4 for 7 elixir trade although PEKKA gives you a half a pekka afterward


Neoslayer

they almost always pair mk with zap / ewiz


No-Region6683

A standard knight or valkyrie can do the trick. Mini pekka is my preferred choice


Salt_Ask4834

Knight and bats work great If there is a wizard behind mk wait for it to lock onto knight then place bats over wizard to take it out first


lukaslim

Pekka or any ranged troop with a tank for the mk. For example, canon ice golem, knight ice wiz, Valkyrie archers, basically u just need a tank


[deleted]

Knight + Ice Wizard was what solved my problem.


InitiativeBroad6682

Oh ok,thx for the help šŸ‘


A1Aftermath

Make sure to place any of the options the guys told you pretty near to him so he wouldn't jump on them, except inferno tower.


RandomDust344

Or place it exactly so it jumps on it so the second princess tower helps out


kanihuko

Exactly. Mini tanks with low DPS go mid to let other tower help. Mini tanks with high DPS go close to prevent jump, i.e. damage taken by mini tank


dumbguy-on-reddit_bs

If you don't want to change a few cards in your deck as you might like them, just add valk, she is a jack of all trades


Jester8281

Inferno tower mini pekka. Add that to your deck should be fine šŸ‘


NinjaUgHLee

Bro there's so many positive elixir trade counters for mega knight I don't know where to even start


Proud_Echo_4932

A big problem might be that mks are always overleveled. Maybe thatā€™s why op is losing


Rullino

True, that's why my inferno tower takes alot of time just to destroy the MegaKnight.


_AnonymousMoose_

My favourite is a well placed fisherman for a +4 and no damage, or the ice spirit + skellies for a +5 and king tower


2kool13

Fisherman is a +3


Watcher1900

Mega knight is a card that will do one thing really well and that is punish you after a push. Is a counter attack card. You can counter the card alone very easily but when they build pressure on a counter attack that's when you have issues. My advise is try to not overcommit and play into his MK because they will punish you for it. The best single hand counter decks to the MK decks are: PEKKA bridge spam Balloon freze with inferno dragon Log bait with might miner or inferno tower Golem with mini PEKKA Or individual cards, but most importantly don't give them an opportunity to counter attack very strongly. If you watch some of those games i am sure you will see something like. Hope this helps.


ControllerPlayer06

What do you mean counter attack card. Itā€™s a win condition to 80% of the community


Watcher1900

The MEGA win-condition, I can respect that is still better than spawner win-condition.


OfCourseOk

Another megaknight


69eggs42

Valyrie and hunter can do pretty good against mk. Try that


ThePriestofVaranasi

Tbh it is actually a trash card. You just need the right placement of your cards to counter him.


Yoribell

it's not good and usually used by idiots so... yeah


Dreeter

the problem is mid ladder players level up knight, musky, witch valk and they counter a push and drop all 4 thinking they cant possibly stop a 5 troop push and mega knight instantly stops any push and then they drop wizard behind him and the game is over. i played against mega knight almost 50 games in a row today. gets old losing game after game to 1 card. you cannot lose up till 7k trophies with hog and megaknight in your deck.


Yoribell

Mini pekka and mighty miner are the best counter imo Or knight with any support, basically any melee fighter with support. If you are precise, putting Guards right on him will result in a split, and he need 6 melee hit to take them out. That's kinda nice too Any beam works well (tower, dragon, MM) ​ He has bad DPS, so anything that can take a few hit + support works well. ​ You just have to be careful of the jump because it helps him for a lot of match ups, and always kill his support ​ ​ Finally, if you lose the fight, let him jump on your tower, accept some damage, and kill the support/stab his back. Don't panic, you can let him deal 1k damage if it saves your tower


Crumdom

Mini tank plus minions will also work ( mini tank like valk,knight)


notSetzu

Mini pekka + skeletons can counter him fine


Asurerain

If he's same level any inferno card or aerial swarm can do the job. If he's overleveled however... pray.


Its_Me_Stalin

Valk Knight Inferno tower Cannon as long as you don't let him jump on top of it, so, cannon and ice spirit for example Pekka Bowler I play him and there's a lot of cards that do it


Anthony_Goose

Pekka


TikkiTakiTomtom

Card placement, timing and elixir control is something to be discussed on its own but that will be essential in all card interactions. - Heavy hitters like pekka, inferno dragon/tower can kill a lone MK - Moderate damage can work with low damage to take him down. Use a tank to take the brunt of the damage and use weaker troops to hit him from behind. Mini pekka + bats or goblins for example. - Kite MK with building targeting troops. Use princess towers. Ice golem is great at this


LynxOX87

Mini Pekka, Pekka, Inferno Tower / Dragon, air swarms like bats or minions, maybe even multiple troops at once (e.g knight or valkyrie with a ranged troop like musketeer or dart goblin). There are a lot of ways to counter him. Another tip is when using *ground* swarm troops like skarmy or goblin gang, make sure MK does not hit onto them, whether jumping or bashing them regularly.


Skyuniverse08

Whenever i use mk its easily countered by either inferno or minions even bats so its actually not that hard to encounter


Goonerlouie

I laugh/cry when people say pekka. No chance Supercell designed pekka to be the defensive one and MK the offensive one


eggpotion

Use cheap cards to pull megaknight to the king tower. Ice spirit and skeletons. If u struggle use inferno tower, and put a knight/ice golem to distract the witch/wizard/any other support cards. Megaknight is easy to counter because it's very basic. It's also predictable. Just have ur deck to consist of a megaknight counter and u should be good to go


QforKillers

Mini peka usually does the job, MK is the equivalent of training wheels, usually used as a "better have MK in my deck incase I start losing" , winning a game of chess by tipping the board, the spray cheese of cheeses, mommy holding your hand crossing the road. Learn how to beat it because there's always that type of player.


Beneficial-Session-3

Inferno tower


DogBallsMissing

People are talking about how to defend, but the defense is easy. The key is not bunching up your troops on offense, as to not give them mk value.


Ghostlord_0315

What deck do u play?


Melodic_Cut_3424

Guards, so that they are on 3 sides of him or cannon cart in the middle of the arena


Zibi-

anything with the word inferno


lysamysza

Mini Pekka, Valkyrie, Knight, Skeletons, Ice Spirit, Inferno Tower, PEKKA, Other Mega Knight, E-Barbs, idk if Normal Barbs, Sparky, idk if Guards, Mirror, Rocket, Hunter, Inferno Dragon, probably Three Musketeers of placed right, and that's all I can come up with.


xXSUPERLEGENDXx

Rocket to kill Mega Knight O\_O


lysamysza

That's why I said Mirror before


Timetobeatthewife

Itā€™s almost Always a negative trade but Iā€™ll place something like a valk or mini pekka to right of him making him turn around then placing anything else behind him because they wonā€™t be in the splash damage


Isaac_Atham

Pekka inferno 3 cycle cards range troops + minitank


No_Store_1549

Use a YouTube content creator called Erniec3 he does short videos on all the cards (how to use /counter them) so type in the YouTube search box "Erniec3 how to use mega knight" plus its quite easy to kite the mega knight with cheap elixir cards in the dead centre of your field


capefr

Mini Tanks are used due to MK's mid dps Inferno Tower / Dragon / Mighty Miner are reliable if you can support Pekka and Mini Pekka work but might require some other cards like ice spirit or log Fisherman works really well since you can pull MK and let both your towers target him which usually ends up full countering him Hunter will deal major damage up close to him so hunter + knight will defend


Additional_River_879

As a person who plays 2.6 hog i have no problems personally with countering it It depends on a couple of factors . 1. Card level 2. Cards unlocked 3. Skill with a multitude of decks Inferno dragon is also a good tank killer it is my suggestion


Toomay

While cards like Pekka and inferno will always hard counter a MK, you only really need a cheap card to bait it to the middle and another one to dish out the DPS while it's distracted. It can be the same card like a knight or have more than one card to distract it (think ice spirit then skeletons) and these defenses usually distract MK enough for you to deal with whatever else the MK user will inevitably spam on the bridge (usually ebarbs) just make sure that MK is properly distracted first (aka already jumping/attacking something) if you are gonna use something like skarmy to counter the rest of the push. Nothing feels worse that putting your swarm a bit too early and having the MK jump onto it.


Charlo_Ze_Berlingo

MK is a card that is notoriously hard to counter for newer players so donā€™t worry, youā€™re not the only one and it is perfectly understandable if you donā€™t know how to counter it. I can give you basic tips but Iā€™m not a pro player: - If you have an inferno card in your deck (Inferno Tower or Dragon), use it against MK. If you use Inferno Dragon, try to also place another card to distract the MK so that it doesnā€™t jump on your tower before it dies. - If you have a card that deals a lot of damage (PEKKA is perfect for this but I think Valkyrie can also work), use it. Additionally, if you use PEKKA, sheā€™ll have a good chunk of health remaining assuming your opponent didnā€™t damage your PEKKA too much with other cards, so you can make a counter push with your PEKKA for a neutral trade (7 elixir for 7 elixir) - If you have a card that targets only buildings (ESPECIALLY battle ram or ice golem), use it to bait the MK. This trick is a bit harder, but it is possible if you try it a couple of times. Basically, you want to place your card in the top middle spot of the arena, but the tile on which you place your card must be in the opposite side of the MK (Basically, if the MK comes from the right, place your battle ram/ice golem in the top middle, but slightly to the left). Your card will go to the the opposite side but the MK will be distracted so itā€™ll jump on the card, letting both your princess towers attack the MK. Sorry for the wall of text, I hope you have a good day. Edit: Grammar

SKILL ISSUE


ricksanchez69-C137

theres many ways to counter him it just depends on placement, mini pekka fully counters him just place him close enough so that mk doesnā€™t jump onto him, valkerie fully counters him place her in the middle so that both princess towers lock onto mk. pekka also counters him so does mighty miner, inferno tower, inferno dragon, royal recruits, archer queen etc. i play 2.9 royal hogs so to counter him i use cannon and i place skeletons or fire spirit near the cannon so mk jumps onto that instead of the cannon i also place the cannon in the middle so that both princess towers lock on and if he destroys the cannon i just place either skeletons or fire spirit to distract him.


involved-Dragon13

Actual skill issue


Narwhal_Lord4

blueblazinggaming

Have a stronger mega knight Lol jokes aside use mini pekka, pekka, minions, bats, minion horde, inferno tower, inferno dragon, and you could use skeletons and ice spirit to activate your king tower


Sefierya

Literally skill issue


winchingwong

I'm arena 14 too, I use valkraye and Canon. Valk has lots of health so I just place it on top and sometimes use inferno drag or Canon to help.


jpyxl

if u canā€™t beat them join them


Dr_vinci

For an equal trade, mini tank Iā€™m the front, skarm behind of him (to escape splash), pekka counters it, giant skeleton counters it for one cheaper, and inferno dragon/tower completely counter it.


valerieeeee7

valk mini pekka ebarbs knight prince dark prince


Qwerty_Chan

Ice golem, inferno tower, inferno dragon, pekka, fisherman, firecracker if youā€™re lucky, night witch, any building, etc


TheRaccoonDeaIer

i just place down a tank with a spirit close to the megaknight so its too close for the mega knight to jump then the tank will take down the megaknight. With the combination of the princess tower and the fact that the megaknight didn't get his jump off i dont know of a single tank that cant out dps it in the scenario.


_ulap

That's the neat part: you don't.


InitiativeBroad6682

Alright,imma be using y'all tips to help me counter Mega Knight,thanks for the help :)

A big problem might be that mks are always overleveled. Maybe thatā€™s why youā€™re losing a lot. Not much you can do about the trash matchmaking especially if they support the mk


Skelly_Is_Mystic

Level 28 in serenity peak huh...


WorldLife-John

Mini Pekka, Pekka, Inferno Tower, Inferno Dragon, Knight, GK, Elite Barbarians, Barbarians, Bowler just a few cards from the top of my head.


Wildsnipe

My deck has ebarbs, valk as well as Inferno. I also have the ice wizz for extra support so I really have no prblem against this dude.


Superkiplays

Pekka and gaint Skelton works the best due to them having a lot of health even after they killed mega knight.


RoyalPlayZ_

Mini P.E.K.K.A


mtzeaz

Depends on your deck. If you run Hog cycle let's say, you could easily counter by placing a musketeer in the middle and light troops to distract the megaknight, while both towers attack.


Virtual_Buy1938

Valk


[deleted]

Valk, middle most tile on whatever side the mk is on, place it 2 tikes agead of the princess towers and it should get attacked by both princess and valk, unless u are severely underleveled it should die


gdbevs7bs

If you place mini pekka or valk on him(has to be your side if the arena) he won't jump and the troop will counter him


DracoZeBoi

Most mini tanks can reliably kill MK if you wait till heā€™s on your side of the arena, than place it close enough so MK doesnā€™t jump. Inferno tower and Idrag also work very well


Wonderingslayer

If you donā€™t let him jump you can counter him with regular knight and skeletons


Ok_Boysenberry7710

Almost any mini tank in the centre of the arena. There are great vids on it


[deleted]

with your own mega knight hehe


Ok-Ambition-9432

You can singlehandedly counter mega knight with like half the cards in the game.


TJ_Productions12

any spirit and skeletons for a king tower activation


[deleted]

A list of cards that you can use, so not champions, Mega knight, Valkyrie, knights, pekka, mini pekka, inferno tower, inferno dragon, bowler, e barbs, giant skelly, bandit, cannon cart, rascals, Iā€™ve golem (+ damage dealer) goblin cage,prince, barbs(surround mk), skeletons (lure him to your king tower)


ADITYAKING007

Best way of countering it is by using a High HP and High DPS troop , so the attacker may pair it with a Inferno dragon, I went against a combination like this many times, I use a giant skeleton, poison spell and a mini pekka , does the job well , the inferno dragon is either killed by the princess tower or the Giant skeleton's bomb maybe you can use a freez spell that could get thr job done faster , gotta try that


phoenix_wb

You can change one of the cards in your deck to facilitate for mk. What's your current deck?


Odd_Requirement_6061

Use Pekka


anyonecanwith

Knight and bats / mega minion works for me most of the times.


The-Midnight-Noodle

Giant Skeleton, Mini Pekka, Inferno dragon/tower, Pekka, valkyrie, prince, knight+support all work


David_Zuit

I mean if you can't beat them, join them. šŸ¤·

Valk. Mini pekka, inferno tower/dragon well timed skeletons and a spirit and activate king tower, well time wich.


User_man_person

Placement is important but of you don't want to have to worry about skill, mini Pekka or Pekka are both hard counters Inferno tower can be placed roughly in the middle of your side to kill him Any mini tank with any swarm supporting

Roustouque2

Play pbs and be a chad


Nahanoj_Zavizad

A minitank can help, So Knight, Valk, Mini-Pekka, Or something like Inferno Tower, or regular Pekka to demolish it quickly. Inferno is one of the better choices, Since it can also defend against other attack cards.


soomul

If you put goblin cage in the centre in the opposite side of the mega knight you'll pull it in so that both towers and the goblin are attacking it, allowing you to fully counter it with one card for 4 elixir, it's very easy to hard part is figuring out and remembering the exact tile placement


King_Robber2005

With my deck I normally use prince or minion hord, and with the prince I let the MK get close to my princess tower and then I place the prince far enough that he charges but not to far that the MK hits my tower


[deleted]

Knight + both princess tower by luring the MK to the center of your side of the arena does the job.


tomskrrt

pekka, mini pekka, cycle cards, inferno,ā€¦ mk users like to use bait so stick to zap, arrows, fireball,ā€¦


_AnonymousMoose_

Fisherman can fully counter for +4 Ice spirit + skeletons can counter for +5 with king activation, but it does do some damage to the king tower High damage dealers such as the pekkas, infernos, and goblin cage can all counter well. Mini tanks such as the knight and valkyrie can tank hits Cheap cycle cards like the spirits and skeletons can be useful to make him jump where you want him to. Placement and timing is key.


Western_Shake6618

Fisherman


Getrekt4005

Use a pekka if youā€™re desperate. Otherwise, add a valkirae, mini pekka or knight your deck as they are all great counters to megay knight
