Universal Clash Royale (by Supercell)

stacking around 2500

maybe I need a IceWiz or Princess.
they cost too low mana for their ability (that's the power of rarity).
i want at least one card now.

do you know how to push to arena 8 without legendaries?

 

wish I could warn people not to play this game. It is absolutely moronic.
The people that started early, or invested money in the game they leaped up. Competition started low, the quality per each trophy level was insignificantly low. People could speed through the rankings.
Move on weeks later, mass release, mass influx of people. 10m (numbers by android) compete in a head to head. Because there are so many, the average skill level per trophy level gets higher. It's essentially saturated. Very tight competition, people can scarcely progress. They try to climb, they play higher levels going down, they play good competition going up.

There is no movement. The skill level as you approach the level to get to a new arena is sheer maximising what can be done with the decks you have. Everyone looking for the edge, winning a few games, getting knocked right back down again. If you've been fortunate enough to get some good prizes from the higher arenas, they're useful when the competition is so tight.

How Supercell have justified this is via the chests. By chests, and exchanging cards, people will slowly and slowly raise the level of their troops. So much so that the edge comes from this enhanced levels. But it's slow, it is no wonder they are doing the change they are- far more frequent chests.

How they should have done this, I had worked out but forgotten but it was avoiding people really falling down. Level=arena possibly. Furthest someone can fall is their level arena. But letting people escalate arenas.

Not everyone will buy this argument, they gladly fall into the delusion. It's a very clever game by Supercell- I have to say that.

(evidence by the way is looking at your clans. You will see levels at trophy levels they should not be as low as.)

 

Went from 2000 to 1600 in a like a day. I think my strategy that depended on weak units backfired. Changed almost everything and back to 1900. Thats why i love this game that you can always try new things if something stops working. Still hate golems though i rarely win against those.

 

This game desperately needs squelch options. One to squelch individual players during matches and one in the settings to squelch the entire stupid "chat" crap altogether.

 

Saw a few people here and over on reddit were complaining about lack of deck slots which I agreed with so I decided to make a deck builder app.

You can store unlimited decks in there as well as stats about each deck you create (win/loss rate, type of cards and elixir cost). You can also keep notes on each deck like how to use it, counters for cards or thoughts about what you might change about it.

There is are also easy to use sorting options (which Clash Royale lacks)

Anyways its free like my chest tracker app and on the iOS App Store if anyone wants to check it out.

I'm so addicted to this game. I play this more than Hearthstone now. The super quick matches keep me playing, because there is always enough time for "just one more match." lol

The game needs some balancing, though. Defensive buildings seem a bit more powerful than they should be, but maybe that's just me. One thing I can say for certain is that defensive buildings should not be able to target opponent towers. It's not an OFFENSIVE building! Haha! The range on them (mortars and x-boxs) are fine. They simply should not be able to target towers.

I think some kind of counterspell is needed, too. A spell that can nullify enemy spell effects (like freeze) would open up some different defensive tactics.

But overall, this game has me hooked. Loving it!

 

Ultimately, rigged or not (which it is), cash grabber or not (which it oh-so-definitely is), that game becomes pretty forgettable sooner rather than later. Went to 1900+ before becoming bored to tears. Uninstalling. Clash of Clans this surely is not... Anyway it's already falling down the charts on both App Store and Google play. Good riddance.
Supercell, take a hint.

 

Exactly how many threads did you spam with this crap?

 

Maybe where you are... Over here it's #3, was #1 last week. But anyway, all the more power for those who liked it.

 

Pretty sure SuperCell won't be crying into their wads of cash over only being #3 Hahaha

 

I'm sure they are still on pace to make over $1,000,000,000 this year (no sarcasm). Made 110mil in month 1.

When this update hits all those whales are going to drop another 10-20k. They are making money faster than they could print it.

 

Ok, I'm starting to get frustrated with this game. Almost every opponent I face now is using the same lame strategy. Load up on defensive buildings and stall the game until they have an opportunity to drop hog + freeze.

It's such so frustrating to play against that crap. It takes so much mana to take down a bomb tower alone, never mind when there are other defenses to back it up. So it's either sit there and wait for the game to end in a draw, or try to make a push and end up being vulnerable to a hog + freeze combo.

The game is great, overall, but the defense spam players are killing all the fun.

 

I've found a deck that has me up to 2300 trophies without spending a dime and that uses neither the bomb tower nor freeze. It does use hog rider Minions are a good counter to bomb tower and they're nerfing the tower next week anyway.

 

Thanks, I've been using that and it's great. Only bad thing it contains spoilers in a way, not sure how you can get around that.

 

Not saying they will. I'm sure they'll make boatload of cash with this, but CoC didn't budge from the top spot for, what, two years? Point is, it doesn't seem to follow the same trend. Time will tell. #4 by now, in passing.

Some people at least are getting increasingly disanchanted with this game, personally I've seen hilarious stuff when I was still playing it, like for instance at times level 6 minions horde taking out a level 8 one easily, without other units at play, that sort of things. Or guys spawning 4 five elixir cards in like 10 seconds. As long as SC don't address that sort of things, polarizing opinions are sure to remain.

 

You know, I was convinced this happened to me the other night. The really weird thing? When I tried to watch the replay, it disappeared!

These sorts of things seem to be few and far between in my experience, but agreed that shenanigans need to be stomped out if they exist.

Not too worried about parity based on how much each player may be spending. The ladder seems to settle out nicely.

 

I'm still on the fence about whether they are shenanigans, or if this is by design. There isn't much I'd put past $upercell in order to make as much money as possible..

Independently of the quirks/rigged parts, though, I found the game incredibly boring at times, the absolute worst offender being the hut spammers. I mean, YAWN. It is possible to not loose when faced with that but simply involves spawning card after card after card to contain the deluge, until draw. Enthralling (not). So much so that I boycotted such matches and exited the application at the sight of those.

The success of this game boggles the mind.
