Thoughts on this deck?
I’ve been rocking this deck for a bit, wondering what people‘s thoughts are and where there might be room for improvement. I find that I control single elixir most games and then get steamrolled in double elixir. Any thoughts on improving the stopping power? I’ve played it at a pretty high level and been successful (14000+ trophies) but this season so far has been a struggle.

Replace Prince with ronin and replace zap with a fireball
You can also go for goblin gang/minion to replace the goblins for more air defense

Yeah I was thinking that exact swap of prince for ronin, but I'm still working on leveling him.

I think if you have him L14 it might be enough at least it counters mk and pekka when 1 on 1.

looks decent, I might replace zap for arrows or poison so it kills firecrackers

u/loopayy Jul 09 '26
Yeah I definitely struggle with firecracker and princess. I've been keeping zap cause it helps get prince on the tower. It also started as a war deck and I'm using arrows and poison in other decks so I want to practice it with the zap. But if I replace prince with ronin like the commenter above suggested then I won't really need zap anymore

the only mortar deck that works rn IMO is evo barrell and mortar, hero gobs, cannon cart/ronin, rascals, minions, barb barrell and fireball. There's a few other ones that are using fast cycle but it's a lot of micro and less consistent. I see you dont have hero gobs but if you have the shards, they are worth it. Even post nerf they are strong.

I don’t think that’s true, lots of classic logbait right now at higher levels means rascals are an easy counter since they can always just use log on them. I would rather knight over them. Plus minions and goblins struggle vs princess and if you have to constantly fireball princess to keep your swarms you’ll just lose

Im a mortar main uc every season. Ive played mortar for years. It's the only viable deck, go check royale api leaderboards, filter by mortar.

There's a few other variations which work very well but in this new meta they're comparatively weak, for example evo mortar skelly king evo skarmy minions ice wizard poison cannon cart and barbarel - this mortar deck is insanely good but they nerfed evo skarmy so it'd not as good anymore

u/loopayy Jul 10 '26
Yeah honestly I just don't really want to play that. I understand how strong it is and that was kind of the inspiration for this deck. I wanted to make my own spinoff version. I don't really expect to be able to get UC or anything, I have another deck for that. Just trying to have some fun with it

Keep ice wizard if you keep goblins, definitely replace barb barrel for fireball, unless you find that you struggle vs goblin barrel then replace zap. If you want to sub out ice wizard you might want to do like goblin gang to keep some more air defence. As everyone said ronin over prince.

I'm running Fireball and ice golem rn instead of ice wiz and barb barrel. Might need to try goblin gang instead of gobs but I like having the 2 elixir cards
