Clash Royale- New Time Waster (1 Viewer)

[Spin]

So from recovering from the flu, installed yesterday.  Played... quite a bit and still enjoying it.  Currently at lvl 4 and in Arena 3.  I know I was supposed to lose trophies to stay in current arenas, but I played a ton while waiting on chests, because, well I enjoyed playing and I hate losing on purpose in any game.  I just couldn't do it.  I was just cussing how I must be the only person without a prince, but low and behold my gold chest I opened this morning had one.

Current deck I'm running:

Giant Skeleton - Love this guy.  Big tank, stops pretty much all the tower killer units I run into (Mini Pekka, Prince).  Can single handedly take out a tower on his own.  One of my best anti AOE as well.  Bomb is devastating. 

Mini-Pekka - Before I got prince, Skeleton + Pekka was easily my best way to drop a tower fast.  One of my favorite Anti Giant cards as well.

Arrows - Love this card.  Well placed arrows wreck opposing armies.  Tried fireball for awhile, but vastly preferred the area range of Arrows.  Especially vs skeleton bomb thing

Musketeer - Love this chick.  I can place here everywhere and she holds her own.  Next to Pekka, my other high single target dps unit.  

Minions -  Cheap, fast, tons of dps.  Helps against the big baddies (Skeletons, Giants, Prince, Pekkas etc)

Goblin Spear Throwers - Another crucial part of my deck.  Cheap, swarm, high dps units.  Throw em in the middle and draw the opposing units itno the center to have to clear all three while the towers beat on em.  Do quite a bit of dps on their own.

Goblins - Again, just another cheap defensive unit.  Help swarm opposing players tower killers.  

Prince - Just added him this morning.  But fits my strategy pretty well, pretty glad to finally have him. Was using Valkerie here.

My overall strategy, that seems to be pretty successful is to drop the expensive/tower killer units in the opposite lane of where they initially drop and then use cheap fillers to stop their push.  I tend to be pretty aggressive with my Skeletons/Pekkas/Prince while saving my cheap units for defense.  

Only time I'm really struggling is vs just vastly higher level players/cards.  Although I'm also limited to what I'm facing against, and havn't seen a lot of what combos I often see people complaining about, so I'm sure I'll have to adjust here shortly.

I reallly wanted to like the barbarians, but at 5, they were just too expensive, and I never really struggle against them when people use them.  Often if I see someone drop a barbarian squad I immediately throw a lane pusher on the other side and then use some of my range, cheap dps to stop them dead by luring them into the middle.

If you need a body for the tournament put me in. If you're full up no worries, rrn30 or rrn30jr. They are both around equal strength, I think jr is a tick higher than sr.

Basic rules:

Each match is best 2 out of 3. These battles will be played in the game under friendly battles. The loser will get to replace two cards from their deck to counter the winner. Winners change nothing.

Post in here the results of your battle so we can move on to the next bracket. 

Deadline for Round 1 is end of the night on Saturday. PM your opponent and plan a time to play

 

[AcerFC]

Not sure what Gamma and Gadabouts CR names are

 

[VA703]

I think I'm done with this one.  It's sort of frustrating to me to just be waiting out all the neat toys, all this while fighting to draws and cheese **** 1-0 losses.  Will probably delete the app as soon as today.  It's got some nice elements, but I don't really have the interest in funding this one.

havnt spent any money yet. was getting pissed lsat night I was trying to unlock crown but it was getting late and I kept drawing bull#### decks that were all defensive 1-0 win games

 

[VA703]

I hate to but I might have to restart this game on my game center.. trying to remember how long it took me to get to level 6.. 2-3 weeks? probably isn't a huge loss if I restarted I havnt dropped any money yet. only epic I really use is goblin barrel and prince  oh and skele horde + minion horde.. hmmm

 

[culdeus]

Maintenance break. I deleted it. So room for one more.

LOL, that was me last night, 5 matches in a row played to a draw trying to get 2 crowns. #### THESE DRAWS! They gotta do something about those. I was close to hitting the delete button after that.

I have a #### ton of epics, don't use a one of them. They need to either speed up elixir production so you can actually use the ####### cards or change the values on them. A card that uses 7 elixir spots is never ever going to get used. The game is entertaining but I don't spend a lot of time on it. A draw or 1-0 victory 20 out of 20 times blows goats and is boring. Also need to step up gold production somewhere, like you get XX gold for every crown. Just not enough of it available to sustain upgrades on the decks.

 

[rascal]

I have no problem with the elixir cost for the epics...once you get to arena six and can get that pump it helps a lot.

I do agree about needing to increase gold production.  Currently I have about 13000 worth of upgrades....granted 5000 is for ice wizard level 2.

 

[AcerFC]

My inability to stay in arena 6 is infuriating me. No matter what I do, I cant stick up there. 

 

[TJ-Raider]

I always just miss the good stuff.  

If anyone bails on the tourney, count me in. (TJ Loopie)

 

[TJ-Raider]

I think a simple fix to the "card trading" problem (meaning we want to trade easier, but they want control of the trading) could be, if you donate cards it knocks some time off the "Request Cards" clock.

I think I can make room later. There are a few who have had zero donations the past few weeks. Figure they dont play anymore

My son (Blakeinator) just joined and I think has zero donations right now. He just got out of oral surgery, so if you can spare him until the weekend, I'll have him donated some cards.

 

[Spin]

Are we letting family/friends into the clan too? My brother just started playing

 

[Gamma1210]

Acer- can you replace me in the tourney. Not going to be able to have set times logged in until next week. 

 

[Gadabout]

I can get on this tourney today (Breesus).

 

[AcerFC]

I beat C Jay 2-1 in three very close 1-0 games. My arrows in game 2 left his tower 5 HP 

Have there been any other matches?

I know gamma dropped out, TJ Loopie can be in for him or did someone else arrange a match with Rascal

 

[AcerFC]

cool, let me know

room now

 

[TripItUp]

room now

how do I find you guys?

 

[AcerFC]

how do I find you guys?

type in fbgs. If there are more than one, look for Scott, duff and doc. they are our top 3

Got a magical chest AND a giant chest (bought the giant with gems i'd saved) right after reaching arena 7... got enough three musketeers to level them to level 5 and the big giant with the cannon to level 7 (almost 8).  It was a great pull.  Cannon giant, Skel king, 3 musketeers = dead tower every time.

How do you deal with the elix drain of the 3 musketeers? Do you use an elix pump

 

[odin33]

Acer,

VA smoked me 2-0. Neither was a route, but they weren't all that close either.

 

[TripItUp]

I'm in...what's the protocol on card sharing...request and donate as much as possible?  My first time in a clan, so just trying to get the lay of the land.

How do you deal with the elix drain of the 3 musketeers? Do you use an elix pump

My strategy so far is to elixir pump and play with low elixir troops until about the 1:05 mark which by then, I've usually got at least 2 pumps out, maybe 3 if I've used a lot of troops (had 4 out at once before).  Wait until full elixir, drop the cannon giant behind my castle, drop skel king next right in front of him, then three musketeers last.  I've only had this for about 5 matches but it's crazy.  People see the giant and skel king come out and immediately get ready to play D, ignoring the other lane.  Once they get to the halfway point the charge for musketeers is usually up (due to double elixir), drop them down and they just absolutely destroy things.  follow it up with the spam troops and it's over.  I got my 10 crowns in 4 games last night which would have been impossible 2 days ago.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

What should I do?  I've got 2456 gold.  There's a Baby Dragon card in the store.

I can also upgrade:

Barb Hut to lvl 5, Knight to lvl 7, Arrows to lvl 6, Minions to lvl 7, Skeletons to lvl 7. 

Of these cards, I use Barb Hut the most.  But I might use the Baby Dragon more if he was lvl 2. 

Or should I wait until Prince or Loon is in the store?

If you are conserving gold, upgrade what you use

I upgraded dragon to lvl 2 and regretted it.  Just my $.0002, but I'd rather have a lvl 7 common than a lvl 2 epic...especially if it was a common I used.

 

[thecatch]

Yeah, upgrade the troops in your active deck first. Buying epic cards is kind of a rip off. Keep grinding and you'll get them in chests eventually. 

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Thanks for the input fellas.

I dont think so. Donations reset yesterday but last I checked, everyone had donated. Maybe someone with two accounts can move one to honda

 

[odin33]

I'll move the ipad account to Honda tonight when I get home.

I've been having good success with my spam deck consisting of tombstone, goblin hut, minion, minion hoard, skelly army, archers, arrows and spear gobs. 
Unfortunately, I've been matched up with mostly level 7 opponents lately and resulting in draws.

 

[VA703]

whats better , archers or spear gobs. im seeing archers survive arrows more often than gobs

 

[beer 30]

Archers will hold up longer but I use them both in deck as quick reaction defense troops.

Finally been getting some decent epic's this week after pissing & moaning about it lately. Got rage this morning and it has been glorious.

 

[Gamma1210]

Got PEKKA recently and I don't think I've ever won with him. Does anyone have a good PEKKA deck?

 

[AcerFC]

Few things with pekka. It needs to be leveled. A level 1 is not going to hurt much. 

Scott has a great pekka deck. Its gobs (9), arrows(8), hog(6), musketeer(6), valk(6), elix pump(6), freeze(3) and pekka(4)

Yeah last night I drew both witch and rage (plus enough to level it) in the same chest (I believe it was a gold one). Seems to go in spurts and fits.

 

[VA703]

I know project pat was using pekka and he was ranked #1. probably still has the deck going

 

[jonessed]

Like all of the cards, they have to be used well.  PEKKA can be dragged around unless it has proper support.

 

[odin33]

What's the chances of moving a few other folks (second accounts maybe) over to honda? Got my second account over there with only two others.
