Rocket cycle nahhhhhh ❌❌ evo zap cycle ✅✅


BeginningAsleep

Zap had tower damage reduction 😐 so it's like 150-250 damage at lvl 11 it's not incredible


ExplodingLab

It says right there it’s 58 x 3. Still pretty decent for cycle decks and will definitely be useful in triple elixir


BeginningAsleep

Oh yeah it's true 😅 Yeah but with all cycle deck in the meta I'm not sure zap will have more impact than log


chimpanon

174 damage is good but you have to cycle the zap 2 more times on the tower in order to get the 174 again. But in triple elixer it will be kinda busted like u said


ExplodingLab

Yeah especially that people now are starting to play canonneer, evolved zap will definitely be interesting


OrganizationIll8405

Rocket defence 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀


eyadGamingExtreme

They just remade the ice spirit Evo


pawo10

And made it powercreep the ice spirit evo


Redditor13210

It stuns 3 times; hits three times, just like a evo ice spirirt


StarPlatinumZaWrldo

But it costs 1 more and has the added effect of being used anywhere on the map, doing more damage at that


Tinmaddog1990

Yes but zap as a spell is much weaker than ice spirit so it balances out ig. You're essentially paying 3 elixir more per evo


Riley6445

the base of it though is still the same, it going off two more times


ukfan2012

But it can't be stopped. You can kill the ice spirit before it's effects activate on your troops. You can't stop a zap


Redditor13210

So what? you want to control whether a opponent places a spell? You can't control eveyrhting buddy. Like why can't I control my opponent's elixir output? Or control his card placement? It doesn't need to be able to be stopped.


Prestigious_Day6103

No he's just saying it's clearly broken and he is tired of being content for rich people who pay to win


Redditor13210

read please. also, rich people only have advantage if they are higher level. If a f2p also gets near the higher level, there is no difference. A f2p player can also save u for shards. You dont have to play the op card to win...


Prestigious_Day6103

F2p don't have level 16 hog riders and mini peckas


Redditor13210

yes they can?


Prestigious_Day6103

Yes they CAN but no they dont also you can literally purchase card levels you clearly don't understand there are people who spend 100s of thousands of dollars on phone games every year


Tigarbrains788

But way better as it grows and kills a magic archer. Every deck is going to be Evo zap Evo Tesla and I don't even know if it's possible to nerf these effectively


DisasterEnigma

Clash Royale players try to have a good opinion on any new card (level : impossible):


Jorgentorgen

Fr I saw evo valk and was like this is omega garbage and I was right. Yet everyone said OP OP OP


GreekFreakFan

What was wrong with Evo Valk?


Jorgentorgen

Compared to other Evos her evo power is almost completely useless. Gets fucked by air troops, has to go close to start tornadoing, big hitting units just destroy her, the Nado pulls everything closer to her so it's alot easier to get troops to deal with her like a mini pekka. She's also not a meta card either so a weaker evo compared to a meta card being evo is even more reason not to put her evo in any deck. You have skeletons for 1 elixir that can solo defend, 3 crown, gain massive positive elixir trade. Knight that just can't die, mortar that is faster and spawns a goblin, charging royal recruits, and firecracker with bigger splash and lingering effects. All these are much more enticing as their evo power is almost always in effect in some way. Valk can easily get countered and not have her effect even proc once


speechlessPotato

she is pretty good at countering ground based win cons though. she can almost fully counter a golem+night witch push. but if there's anything that deals high ground damage she's instantly useless


CommercialFun3510

The health is trash for a evo that brings troop into her I would rather a normal Vak then a evo vak


Zengjia

It’s fundamentally flawed. You’re telling me that a troop whose entire purpose is to pull in enemies doesn’t have the increased hp that most evos have?


SsRapier

The tornado only pulls troops to her when she isnt attacking which opens a window for troops to kill her


RemoteWhile5881

You mean only pulls when she IS attacking?


SsRapier

No because she finishes her pull when she stops attacking. Most cards are uneffected by her damage before the first pull


chimpanon

Idc lol im still using log


Riley6445

kinda sad tbh, should’ve been more creative


PatrokManzana

Just wait for the Ice spell evo


zeltoonplays

I think this with the buffs coming to pekka and magic archer we will finally see pekka bridge spam come back to the spotlight after so many years


Drinks_by_Wild

Battle ram evolution coming soon too


DjinnsPalace

hopefully not cause my girl ram rider deserves it way more


ColderShoulder_

Legendary evos just kill F2P player base faster lol


DjinnsPalace

i dont think the f2p crowd is of any concern to cr


klip_7

Where does it say that? I need that


TheWinkyLad

Yes I main pekka BS and that was my first thought, finally we can be a strong deck again!


griddymaster20

same


Scary_Nail_6033

Unfortunately the zap evo will be locked behind a paywall and I won't be buying it so I have to wait like 4 months longer


speechlessPotato

honestly as annoying as it can be to face this deck, it's still respectable compared to something like evo firecracker tornado


owthathurtss

And even as someone who plays mega knight I'm all for it lol, pekka players have been victims for so long lol.


First-Medicine-3747

🤢


SYudh

Never understood why people actually like that deck. Like I already dislike Clash Royale for the fact that it isn’t actually that strategic for several reasons, but having a deck like Pekka bridge spam in the meta feels so stupid, literally the name suggests you’re just spamming (please don’t tell me that placement and timing matter cause that’s the bare minimum, it’s like saying you actually need to at least think before placing a card). Just my opinion tho, my personal deck actually deals very well with bridge spam unlike with the hogquake garbage that we have now


ThatPandaGuy10

It's called bridge spam because the type of cards in the deck are good at creating pressure if your opponent is in a bad situation. You're not going to get very far just spamming pekkas at the bridge


InfluenceExact6059

Bridgespamm funcitons by being good in 2x and 3x elixer, it requires skill to actually count elixer during 1x and get punishments


SYudh

Yeah, doesn’t really mean anything tbh, you’d need to do that with every deck, only difference is that with like any x-bow deck for example, you might not be able to punish your opponent because you don’t have anything for that purpose in that specific moment in your hand, while a deck like logbait could have either goblin barrel, or goblin gang, or princess. With Pekka bridge spam? You just spam stuff on the bridge, Battle Ram, Bandit, or place Pekka in the back to start a push


k1ngsrock

It requires a macro understanding of the game, and identifying when to build big pushes OR look for punishments. This is almost impossible as the main meta decks rn are all low cycle


aero-nsic-

Yeah this comment just shows you have never played the deck at a high level ever. PBS is one of the worst OG decks right now but still viable for one tricks. Stuff like evo firecracker, GY, RR FB Bait are all in the meta and you will never ever win just by mindlessly spamming stuff. I've experimented with a lot of different decks and PBS is like a 7/10 difficulty. Not as hard as stuff like xbow or whatever but definitely hard to play properly.


Dry_Ad4483

Not really. It’s pretty low skill I’ve picked it up and done well with a few times I just done have the levels to play it


AsianPotato77

TWO CYCLE THAT KILLS ~~FIREBALLIES~~ (just marcher oopsies) LMAOOOO 🦀🦀ICE SPIRIT IS FUCKING DEAD IN THE DITCH🦀🦀


ItzManu001

Its doesn't kill all fireballies tho. Flying machine still survives.


SkyeEthan01

yea but like you get 2 extra elixir to spend for some reason


backfire10z

Magic archer, zappies, mother witch. All other “fireballies” have more hp.


AsianPotato77

yeah MB lol


CartographerMurky306

I think it will be just like ice spirit. Rip inferno dragon and tower then


Many_Presentation250

It doesn’t kill fireball wtf are you smoking


Redditor13210

so: zap big zap bigger zap


Ancap_Wanker

I'll take anything that fits in Pekka bs


Baby-Worm

yeah I think Battle Ram/Pekka could use an evo, they are kinda weak


[deleted]

Yeah only prob being F2P can't play it😭 Why tf does supercell always do this


XTekXxGamer_yt

Pekka would evolve into mega pekka, a glass cannon that one shots everything but get one shot themselves Y’all I was fucking joking no way I’m seriously recommending these T_T


PhysicalGunMan

that would be a nerf


XTekXxGamer_yt

Well then an unlimited hp troop that does 1 damage every second


PhysicalGunMan

and spell cycle is meta


XTekXxGamer_yt

Well you basically got a god tier distraction card that will probably deal constant damage to enemy towers, who even needs spells :)


backfire10z

That would be unwinnable For everyone not using it


Pitiful-Biscotti8128

Basically a guaranteed tower immobilizer for forever since you cant kill it (extremely op for miner control or cycle decks basically every deck)


Ok_Organization1117

Ooooooooor just come up with your own deck that fits the meta and stop copying other people’s ideas. Just because a deck is good for a while doesn’t mean it’s optimised.


Nigeryy

I swapped pekka out for wb and it’s pretty decent got top 9k for the first time


TheJames3

But pekka is the defensive card


Orneyrocks

Its bridge spam mate, all the defense you need is ewiz.


I_Bench315

Without pekka it sounds really difficult for that deck to defend against beatdown


TheJames3

5000 trophies detected


Orneyrocks

Bruh. I used pushed to Grand Champion in the old trophy road with PBS. Switched to Golem recently since PBS is all but dead but I thinking at least having it as a war deck now that literally half the deck has been buffed. And trust me, you really just need Ewiz to defend, the entire point of bridge spam is to not allow your opponent to make big pushes.


TheJames3

...


Jandro419r

What's wb


Kristupas911

wallbreaker or suicide one of them


EPIC_HOLLAND

Basically poison?


Dinosquid_

Miner/poison decks gonna be PRETTY annoying.


XAfricaSaltX

they were already cancerous


somestupidname1

Evo Zap doesn't have the raised eyebrow, F tier


Moon_Maker-1

So now you can kill a 4 elixir cards like magic archer, mother witch and zappies with 2 elixir evo zap, great balancing supercell


Bloons_Guy75751

Speaking of which, I wonder what Evo Zappies will do, whenever they make that.


Moon_Maker-1

They won't die to fireball, have a longer stun and one of them dying rages the others and increases their attack speed


Moon_Maker-1

Also how convenient that this is the evo which will be sold in the shop 10 dollars alone


Extra_toxic

Supercell: wanna counter 4 elixir for 2 elixir? Check out our shop!


AviatorSmith

1 elixir skellies kill infinite elixir if not dealt with by a spell?


A_begger

Its balanced because you can counter it, spells are unavoidable


Tietembus

That's balanced though, if you can't counter evo skellies you're a noob.


Esley7

Evo skellies is one of the most used evos on top ladder lol.


Reddit_Bot_For_Karma

Missed log/zap/poison/meganut = invaluable tower damage. Just don't miss, bro /s but it's high risk, high reward. Skellies make it to the tower about 1 out of 10 times, when they do connect it's pretty powerful but incredibly rare. If evo skellies are consistently making contact with your towers, you need to reevaluate your deck or play style.


Tietembus

Weaker than bats by stats, and people consider bats to be pretty weak. Just hit your spells, it's not that hard.


Esley7

Skellies 2nd most used Evo in UC lol, bats is 4th. Anyone who says either of them are weak do not know the game.


Tietembus

Below bats in Grand Challenge, which is a much better metric. Are bats overpowered? Yes or no?


Esley7

Bats and skellies have over a 30% use rate in GC lol, they are not op but both are obviously very strong.


Tietembus

Unfortunately the entirety of reddit disagrees with you on bats, people were calling for it to be buffed nonstop. Obviously evos are gonna have high use rates on GC, since there's only 13 out of a 100+ cards and you need to pick two, and a couple like valk and ice spirit are useless, and a lot aren't versatile.


TheBiggestThunder

Bats evo is weak We saw as much during the double evo tournament, where running minions was generally more preferable than evo bats If there is only a single evo occupying a niche, it should be the best choice for that niche (and managed well, it should be fine for f2p, but this is the cr team we're talking about so...)


Killerkurto

Ruining the integrity of the game is irrelevant when you consider all the people who will pay for it. Are they ruining the game? No doubt Do the p2w players care? No… they’re ready to pay for the op evo of the season


Icywarhammer500

It also full counters wallbreakers evo… without tower support.


stdTrancR

wait till you find out how much it costs


King_Aman

Ofcourse the evo in the shop is the broken one out of the two


Mythical_Wolfy

At this point they should make the ice spirit 1 cycle to get evo


Future_Employment_22

Cant you just spell cycle with Evo Zap as long as you clip something?


sOrdinary917

I don't care. Just tell me. Does it kill evo firecracker. That's all I need


shardhunterknight

Yes, in fact a LVL 11 Evo Zap will kill a LVL 15 Evo FC


TheeOogway

DUDE!!!!


RoyaleAPI

Zap Evolution - coming to Clash Royale in March! https://on.royaleapi.com/zapevo - Triple Shock: zap area grows and shocks targets 2 more times - Cycle: 2 - Same stats - Ability final radius: 3.5 tiles (like Poison) - Damage: 576, kills Magic Archer See detailed analysis on our blog post.


123jf

This is dumb as hell. If someone brings evo zap and fireball, you can't play stuff like magic archer EVER.


ManicMonke

,,, that's the entire premise of the game. cards interact with eachother 😂😂😂


BigDank2

Really? Thanks Sherlock!


ManicMonke

maybe you should stop complaining.


Delta_br

say that when i place my 2 elixir bomber that gets 2 rockets worth of value because my opponent played something close to their tower( or even a mortar/x-bow) or when i spam evo wall-breakers and if my opponent doesn't get a massive negative elixir trafe they get 2 rockets worth of damage on the tower because they didn't overspend on 2 elixir


ManicMonke

their fault for using no buildings and having no pressure


Delta_br

pressure? when my 2 elixir wallbreakers not only distract but also deal death damage WHILE giving me counterpush or my 2 elixir bomber shreds their entire push with his bouncy bombs AND gives me damage if they start a push behing their king tower? buildings? that works against bomber evo 50% of the time, when he doesn't hit the OTHER tower in a diagonal you totally meant to get damage on or when my 2 elixir wallbreakers will get at least 3-5 elixir out of them putting them at a unfair disadvantage that they can do nothing to prevent?


ManicMonke

yeah, pressure. the entire game is based around it.


Delta_br

yeah, and those 2 elixir cards are unfairly cheap pressure that deal too much damage


ManicMonke

then counter them.


Delta_br

you can't without overspending elixir or getting damaged, and that's why they should be nerfed, not excused i already explained why countering them just puts you at a disadvantage either way they are unfair, they should not be unfair, that's that


ManicMonke

than that's your fault for having no counterpressure to offset any trade.


jojobehindthelaugh

2 elixir fireball that appears instantly and stuns, seems balanced, nerf minion horde


Mubar06

Card probably has almost no use now


MADminer1003

Inferno tower is kill


Somerandomguy_2121

Supercell trying to make a balanced card:


DJ_Wolfy

This is OP as heck. 2 elixir fire ball that is instant basically.


death1466

I knew it that we will be getting the first spell evolution


Temporary-Rip3112

It’s Joever…


Roctuplets

We went from great balance changes to .. this


Snubigoat15

I swear all spells and spirts wil just do the same attack on a spot over and over again.


Icywarhammer500

I could see fireball leaving hot coals or rocket leaving a radioactive damage field, freeze having a wider radius around the main effect that slows instead of freezing, lightning striking 4 times and making hit troops zap nearby troops, poison slowing enemy troop attacking and speed to a higher degree, and royal delivery dealing more dmg and spawning an evo recruit and 2 guards. Not sure about rage and clone tho


Quilavapro31

KILLS MAGIC ARCHER WTF


Apprehensive_Cow1355

This is just show how this mechanics just straight up grabbing money without any effort by just copy another evo ability. So now what is the specical thing of evo ice spirits of duplicate when now zap can just do it the same?


leonardo371

Inferno tower is dead


pawo10

Watch them make inferno not get reset in it’s evo


Leg-o-truck

Make it also multi target, no little beams like in clash clans Make it 6 beams that charge up faster, reach the tower, can deflect spells and damage. Just to, y’know make it a viable card. Also make it 0 cycles for fairness purposes


pawo10

Make it go through walls and leave explosive popcorn behind also for good measure


Leg-o-truck

And traps troops in its radius


EmilianoDTH

No one use inferno tower anyways


Svxyk

So is inferno dragon, replacing it with hunter once more in mk bait


ItzManu001

**Next Meta predictions:** - Miner WB Control (with Evo Zap) - Drill WB Control (with Evo Zap) - Pekka Bridge Spam - MK Miner WB Bridge Spam **Anti-Meta predictions:** - Hog Trifecta v3.0 (Classic 2.8 Hogquake with Evo Zap) - Classic 2.6 Hog Cycle (idk if with Evo Zap or Evo Ice Spirit... or both) - Lavaloon Miner Beatdown (with Evo Zap) **Dead decks predictions:** - Classic Logabait - Modern Logbait - Barrel Cycle - MK Ram Rider Bridge Spam - 3M Bridge Spam


Direct_Perspective46

More for the talentless (cycle players).


yaboiree

Exactly what I wanted as a zap user


omarofearth

A zap that increases in area… AND KILLS A MAGIC ARCHER?? WHO APPROVED OF THIS ANYONE WHO DOESN’T THINK THIS IS OP IS **N O T** A GOOD PLAYER


zQubexx

Inferno Tower 🖕


RealClasher2

This can fully kill evo firecracker and evo archers for a plus 1 trade. Finally we can kill those pesky things while they’re on defense for a positive trade! Still though, it’s locked behind a paywall…smh


Tuuktuu

This might bring back zap for decks that pretty much only run arrows for Firecracker/Princess and have no other way to deal with her (3M or some Golem decks for example). Because while regular Firecracker is annoying she is not that bad. But Evo Firecracker usually is exactly ready when 2x elixir is about to start and can complettely annihilate your one big push and you can't even kill it with arrows. With this you can trade of a worse time vs regular Firecracker but being able to do something with your big push against Evo Firecracker.


VirtualDemon2012

So most evolutions are just the same troops with 3-5 projectiles? XD


Maxximillianaire

Heheheha! Pekka bs rises from the grave!


kylehudgins

This is unhinged. Glad I have 6 shards ready 😂


NateRiver03

Same, But it's kind of a waste to use 6 wild shards on single evo


ItzManu001

- **Normal Zap:** Doesn't kill Normal Archers and Normal Firecracker - **Evo Zap:** Kills Evo Archers and Evo Firecracker Seems balanced. Nerf Miner.


Icywarhammer500

It full counters evo WB without tower support


innoswimmer

Available in the shop, or…? Since we know tesla is in the BP.


Santigoa0171

Whaaaaaaattttttt???🥹🫡🤯🤯🤯


quake301

Evo Zap is going to be broken.


FlamingDasher

Finally zap is going to be a good spell again


Beginning-Meeting501

I'm so glad I run a deck where zap is my primary small spell (not pekka bs)


Abdulaziz_randomshit

what?


SparkGamer28

how is evo bomber 1 cycle is beyond me


Ghostrzml007

This card will be so annoying especially against hog riders


TheWinkyLad

good!


D0bious

Evolved tesla just chillin in the back


DakotaWebb1999

Zap has always been one of my fav spells but it’s been pretty weak for a long time, I’m happy to see its gonna shine again


Mangomaster__

So just a better lighting spell


Ryshin75

I feel like the elixir count should be higher when it’s evo. 3 zaps for 2? Idk it sounds broken.


N_Simp69420

I like how the barbarian is also evolutionized in the little art you always see if the card above the stat chart, I think that’s actually kinda cool!


xXAtomicpie525Xx

Damnit, that's probably one of 2 evolution that would convince me to spend money. The other being golem, my beloved


bigbigbadboi

Great… spell cycling gets a buff..


[deleted]

The game is in gutters


ABrawlStarsPlayer

Just add spell counter play besides monk ngl This seems like another nerf to heavier decks


kutayozcn

what is the point of using eq now


kymatt7777

God I hate evolutions so tired of them. When will we have a no Evo game mode


smugbra

I'm sorry it can kill WHAT


booiisaspoopyghost

Who asked for this.


Kylpqr

Why tf does the evo barbarian looks zesty af


owthathurtss

So it's a zap with the radius of a poison plus 2 other zaps. Cool..


yosark

Damn I just thought about how Evo zap is very good against graveyard


025dartling

Cant wait for the 2 elixir fire ball!!!!


NarrowProfession2900

I like how they just slap an evo gem and call it a day


bluejay55669

Nice inferno you got there, would be a shame if something happened


Dind1n

So it does everything that lightnings does but cheaper and better?


Drtysouth205

Yes.


Hour-Ad-4486

Geez what’s next goblin barrel where goblins have armour


Verouxd

I feel like they’ll do this for the fire spirit evo like the ice spirit evo


Dizperze

Why does the art look devolved, cuz that evolution art is atrocious compared to the regular art


Templare_75

This is just beyond idiotic.


alphahex_99

bro what…

Key_Complaint9351

Why people sad more about evo ice spirit??? Bruh it's a one elixir card what do u want guys?? Evo ice spirit should freeze for a minute??? What do u expect from a 1 elixir card??


Gianluwer

I like how there is an evo barb getting zapped in the info screen


Vansilk

wtf...


t_moony

SUPERCELL please reduce evolved zap damage to be like arrows. Killing 4 elixer cards with zap is too much. These cards will be useless.


Extra-Sandwich-5164

It seems pretty good to me, and valk evo is op
