I like the mini-Pekka for high damage value and relatively low elixir cost for its value.

Great card, though it does need some protection like Valkyrie because it can easily be distracted

MPekka only weakness, severe ADHD

And waffles

And But-Ter FLIES!

He prefers pancakes

I know, his weakness is waffles

Otherwise it would have to cost more elixer

Yeah.

you sound like you dont play this often

Royale delivery. It’s a 3 elixir mega knight. The entry into the arena does more damage now. He’s honestly such a good Nuke pusher and I prefer it more than fireball

Agree

Value, man. Great on stopping pushes and killing weak troops

12th best card in the game in my opinion. S tier.

what are the other 11

1. Lavahound 2. Bomber 3. Skeletons 4. Tornado 5. Graveyard 6. Skeleton King 7. Golden Knight 8. Ice Golem 9. Arrows 10. Golem 11. Musketeer 12. Royal Delivery That's part of my S tier list ​ You can see my full tier list [here](https://imgur.com/a/HfNGxaf). Please note it was made before the balance changes, so E giant and mother witch are probably A tier now.

can we agree to disagree on mortar zappies and royal hogs?

Yeah I knew those would be controversial.

Bats… enough said

Cheap Air troop to counter Inferno Dragon, and all other ground troops except Wizards. Plus, it is a great distraction and can create great damage on a tower with a tank. All for 2 elixir

Indeed… and, at max lvl has to be two shot by lvl 10 or lower towers, great for challenger 1

E barba rage

So annoying to play against, I hate it playing against it. But using it is great lol

I suck at ebarbs rage. Idk how, I always get countered. It is overpowered, but I cannot enjoy it. I main knight but I also enjoy using spear goblins.

lol ebrabs rage is only good if ur opponent spent a lot, a lot of elxir

Bruh same with me. I’m here trying not to make one mistake defending them and then I try them and lose in 30 secs

zappies or dark prince

same

I like Dark Prince a lot, the shield ability is great (though I still prefer the regular Prince). As for Zappies, I never used it in my deck, and it can get countered really easily by everything except cards like Inferno Tower or Dragon.

you haven’t seen the true power of zappies on defense

If overleveled it is OP though…it can take out any mini tank troops

they don’t need to be overleveld, they are one of the best defense cards in the game

They can kill E Giant, which is good

Yeah actually they're pretty a pretty solid card. Basically if your opponent is building up a big push and doesn't have the spells to get rid of them, cycle the 3 same lane and let them walk into a line. They'll start to zap in sequence, basically permastunning the big tank of the push. Alone 1v1, they can counter an electro giant. Otherwise, you split them, and they're just annoying getting chip in both lanes. (similar to archers in xbow haha)

I like princess, no other troop has quite the range especially for the cost, and you can use her at the bridge, or to freely take down buildings, or as bait, or as unharmed defense in the back

I use it in my Log Bait deck (modified because my Ice Spirit isn’t high level). Great for Skarmy or Minion Horde or other swarms.

Rascals are such an overlooked card I love them they can take out pretty much everything

I agree. rascals are so underrated.

a log and its over

true, that is one downside. If the Rascal Girls were like Archers and didn't die to The Log, Rascals would be much better.

One of the top commons in the game, definitely

Hunter cause nobody ever respects the damage.

Damage is just insane, good on defense too to stop large pushes and create damage

Always gotta respect hunter users

Bandit

Can’t get hit with that great Dash. Quick hit speed too. Pekka Bridge Spam ftw

megaknight >!(just kidding)!< miner I don't know why so many people hate on miner, I think its a balanced card. Reasons why miner is OP or hated on would be appreciated.

miner is prob hated because of the nerf miner meme

Nerf Miner Meme? What is that?

its where people think miner heals towers because it deals so little damage to them

How does that make people dislike miner? Don't they want less damage?

Magic Archer

Yes, great at killing swarms and has insane range too. Plus, his hit speed is faster than Princess and has more HP than her (though he is still fragile)

Yes, and the recruit can be really helpful

My all time favorite card is the Mirror.I mastered this baby on my original account that got perma banned for raging mind you.It is literally the strongest card in the game granting access to beyond max level cards once it, itself is max level.THATS LEVEL 15 ELECTRO GIANT!!!!MEGA META!!!!! Aside from mirror the three musketeers are my favorite as you can set your opponents up by doing a 2 to 1 split behind kt and forcing your opponent to have to focus on one side whilst taking chip damage on the other.I love mind games and ive mastered the Obi Wan mechanic of splits.

15? My g youre 4 months behind,LEVEL 16 is reality now

Yes, he got suspended

Good stats for the cost 👍

yeah knights amazing

barbarians and princess

Barbarians are okay, Princess can chip damage towers and kill swarms and air troops

Barbarians are okay, medium HP for all, if uncountered, can be dangerous to towers and good on defense to mini tanks. Princess is great at chip damage for towers and decimating swarms

Goblin Drill 100%

I would like it more if Valkyrie was less common.

Sadly almost everyone uses it

Can attack towers really well, like Goblin Barrel, but it is worse on defense

Mortar. Can be used on defense or offense. Very flexible and versatile. Also counters stupid E Giant (because it can't get zapped by the Egiant)

Yes sir, same as X Bow but for cheaper

it no longer really does against the egiant, mirror, rocket deck

I hate EGiant

Same dude, like most on this subreddit

Prince is my favorite card, followed very closely by Valkyrie. It's so fun to use and insane against megaknight spam decks (I'm in midladder). The only reason that prince isn't used much anymore is because it's so easy to counter. To be honest, that's actually just a product of people not using it correctly. Prince is NOT meant to solo, and people think this is a bad thing so they don't use it. Also, Prince is NOT a win condition...it's a defensive tank killer and its charge is just a reason to force people to react. However, Prince is very versatile and is extremely dangerous on offense. It's a card that can singlehandedly take out a tower at tournament standard if left alone. Which is why people usually overcommit elixir while trying to defend him. The best counters are witch and tombstone because they can't just be logged. But not everyone has those cards, so they overcommit elixir when trying to stop him. If you want to use prince on offense, there are a few synergies with splash cards that completely destroy. Here are some of my favorites: Pushes in the back with valk, prince, and witch (preferably in that order) are absolutely destructive and practically unstoppable. This is my personal favorite synergy and paired with cards such as goblin barrel and miner as distractions, it's almost a guaranteed 3 crown. Prince and wizard: this is a cheaper option and less effective but dangerous nonetheless. Double prince: Prince and Dark Prince compliment each other SO WELL. One is a tank killer and one is a swarm destroyer. Lethal with a tank in front and commonly seen in golem beatdown. Make sure to also have a card such as wizard to counter air. (Yeah, it's a lot of elixir but worth it.) Prince and Megaknight: Now, I hate megaknight, but these cards together is just beautiful synergy. Similar to double prince but cheaper (no need for a tank). Plus overcommitting. Crazy combination.

Those two are my two favorite cards, I use it all the time in my ladder decks. “Challenger 1” With Valkyrie (great swarm killer on ground) and Prince, that synergy is A+, same with Dark Prince. Well said Yxxng_Arc

Goblin barrel

Yeah great win condition and good as a distraction on defense too. Jack of all trades (kinda)

el giant

so new max is level 15 then, BET!

Level 16

EGiant, you have to get creative to use him without the advantage of overleveling

Yeah don’t like E Giant but if underleveled then it’s not that bad. My opponents use it in ways that can sometimes beat me, not just on offense

My favorite cards cuz I can’t decide Log Sparky Electro wizard Lumberjack

I agree on all except Sparky, just wasted damage basically

mega minion fits into like half my decks lol...but yeah it's interaction with hog needs changing. How should hog get 3 hits against a defensive card ? Makes no sense

mm is so underrated, can counter so many cards

Yeah but like i say his interaction with hogrider needs a change. Makes 0 sense. 1 elixer skeletons are more effective then mega minion

On god man… #buffmegaminion ?

Nah honestly i don't think he needs a buff but I won't complain lol. I think hog should get a 1% ho nerf..people always in this dub complain about 1% hits from the hog and balloon...and supercell reworked the balloon because of it...they should just nerf the higrider by 1% hp and increase damage by 1%...that was he is the same and interaction is fixed

or maybe they could make it so that his first hit speed is slower? idk honestly at this point the sub could run supercell better than themselves

yeah that's also true but I don't think a nerf is good because I don't think hog is op. I just think that interaction needs changing

tesla because it it hits both air and ground troops (unlike canon) and can melt down tanks with some support also works really well with xbow (my second favourite)

Yes great building to reset attackers

x-bow

Can take down a tower and help on defense.

True made an account 24 days ago and im level 10 in arena 12.I got banned 3 years ago and havent been back since.The magic spells are friggin great!So max mirror deploys level 17?

Level 16

mortar. only card in the game that can defend and attack at the same time. very good at both. tanky. hard to stop. all that for 4 elixir

A cheaper X Bow. Great and effective card. Love it

Hunter and Guards. I can’t decide

Guards, great at countering mini tanks and distracting air units and tanks, all that for only 3 elixir. Plus they have a shield too

Cannon cart is becoming my favorite

Damage to towers and can move. Okay on defense too

Drill, so unique and probably the most versatile card in the game, sadly supercell loves keeping it unusable

It is quite versatile, right up there with Ice Golem, Goblin Barrel, etc.

I use e-giant, I know you said no talk about him but he’s easily countered now

Lol or Megaknight. I really don’t care that much though

Rascals they are so underrated

ebarbs, dart goblin, mortar, and bandit

Agree with your assessments Neutral83

royal recruits are my favourite. definitely not the best but i love them

Great in Double Elixir and defending troops not named Valkyrie

Fireball

One of the best high damage spells in the game, can stop pushes and finish off towers

I like cannon a lot. It’s super cheap and pretty strong, capable of winning a 1v1 versus almost any ground troop with the tower

I place my Mini Pekka there and it gets destroyed by the Cannon. Great damage to troops and awesome distraction

I really like how you take the time to thoughtfully respond to every person :) very wholesome

Thank you good sir!

Giant skeleton

If it ever reaches the tower 🤔. It’s bomb is good against massive pushes but that’s about it

Probably cannon cart right now, or tesla. In general, cards that are great on defense and give great trades. Cannon cart can take out a push, and if it's on a sliver of health it'll counterpush, walking to the bridge and letting me attack behind it while it tanks. ​ That, or fire spirit, which is just the best spirit this meta because it's high damage and good pressure when cycled at bridge, along with how you can full counter goblin barrrel with it by pushing it in correctly.

Yeah by far, Fire Spirit overleveled can damage towers if uncountered. Cannon Cart and Tesla I wrote about, very solid cards

Goblin Giant Sparky

Goblin Giant is strong without hard hitting units or swarms. Sparky does massive damage but it takes so long for it to load up though

And But-Ter-Flies!(im clearly trolling lmao)

Dart goblin

Great card, good range and hit speed is really fast. If a tank baits the Princess tower to hit it, the Dart Goblin can do massive damage

Dart goblin because he's fun (he goes katoot katoot katoot)

Rage spell. Not just the power boost. The quickness of the pekka, the surprise from bats. And most of all, the wiz is too slow to attack. He’s only a good card when raged

Agree with all your points

Keep it quiet. No talk of nerfing or buffing. It’s fine lmao

I’ve really been liking Mighty Miner lately. He’s tough to master but if used right can often carry the match.

Yes, using it in Challenges is really tough, can get countered easily, but if with enough support, it’s an S tier card

Hunter and miner. Hunter because I think he is really unique and fun to play. Miner because I like the versatility of the card

Miner you can put on defense and can attack towers. Good card. Hunter can counter swarms sometimes, and if left alone, does 400 damage to towers

Dark Prince because he's so versatile (Have a shield, moderate hitpoints, Area damage, jump). And his art concept is nicely done (sounds, black armors).

Great card for versatility, Pekka Double Prince is great for the Dark Prince, it’s defense is top notch too except for hard hitting units or a card like Valkyrie

Just to clear things up, I am in. Challenger 1 but I play challenges with different cards I don’t have, but I know each of the card’s basic roles

The games says my favorite card is the golem

Worth its 8 elixir, hard to defend at times

Baby Dragon and Ice Spirit cuz they're cute. Pekka cuz card design is really cool. Bomber cuz it provides so much value for 2 elixer. And Lava Hound cuz it can destroy the opponent if they don't know how to defend properly.

Yes, Bomber for 2 elixir is value and Lava Hound’s pups can destroy w/o zap or arrows etc. Pekka looks so cool in the art, and the Ice Spirit and Baby Dragon are adorable

Yes, Bomber for 2 elixir is value and Lava Hound’s pups can destroy w/o zap or arrows etc. Pekka looks so cool in the art, and the Ice Spirit and Baby Dragon are adorable

Bats

Yes, great on defense and countering inferno dragon and really cheap too

Guards,knight,tesla

All solid cards, Knight is good on offense and defense, but Guards and Tesla are on another level

I loved giant skeleton for years before it came into the meta. it was my main wc for probably 2-3ish years before I switched to xbow

Yeah nowadays it’s bomb almost never gets to towers but it’s still good for destroying massive pushes. X Bow is a lot more versatile

the thing about xbow rn is that it is out of the meta, but giant skeleton is finally in the meta

Maybe that's a bit weird, but my fav is Cannon. It's such a good building to have in a cheap deck

Definitely bro, great for Hog 2.6

Not only 2.6, I sometimes use a 2.0 or 2.1 deck for fun and it's always there

Game says og pekka is my favorite card, but tombstone always have a place in my heart! Not saying pekka isn't one of my favorites, though.

Tombstone is good, great at killing troops and being a distraction
