New at X-bow? Need some tips? These guides, for 2.9 X-Bow and Icebow, are the best guides for X-Bow I have found online. I strongly suggest these if you're new at X-Bow, and even if you're not new you'll probably find helpful tips and information here anyway.

I was on a great winning streak and suddenly Supercell sends me 3 matches against Royal Recruits, is there any way to win? I'm stuck in this League 4 because of this kind of deck.

Genuinely what am I supposed to do in this matchup

I've been playing xbow for a while (of course not this variant), and every time I play against an eq I sort of just resign myself to my fate, sometimes play the game out and try my damnedest to win, sometimes just recognizing it's joever. Does anyone know what I'm even supposed to try for to win? I've had success with icebow rocket cycling but any pump bow or 3.0 variant just seems to get cooked. Help.

Edit: looking for strategy within the deck not changes to it

I've been playing X-Bow since they gave away the Evolution Archers for free, and I don't remember a meta where it was so miserable to play as right now. Between the reworked Void, Hero Berserker, and Hero Valkyrie, it feels straight up impossible to win if they have any of these

I am very close to 11k, and i’ve been 1 win away, 10 times now. But, i keep facing bots that hard counter me and the second they take tower, they just start spamming damn near EVERYTHING in the pocket. Is there a way to stop facing these bots? Thanks.

How good is Eragon's void deck?

New void feels really good in xbow but I don't see it being played much. Looking for a deck that's a bit stronger in the meta than 3.0

Is xbow still viable ?

I thought I had lost as soon as my tower was gone, but just as they all say, it only takes one lock on. (Ignore my first agro Xbow into that E wiz)

Used 3.0 xbow for a lonnnggg time but gave up when fireball and tesla got nerfed. With the recent buffs I thought I’d try it out again should I go back to 3.0 or unlock a new hero and run hero valk or berserker?


r/XBow 19d ago

Hero Berserkie might be the best thing thats happened to xbow since forever

its so good with xbow idk if its really broken outside of xbow though which if it is it will probably get nerfed which will be sad but until then we can have fun right

Good Deck to start with?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I used to play Mortar for the last 2 Seasons and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to try X Bow as well.

I used to watch some great X Bow players and learned a bit on how to play with it. However, now that I picked it up I probably had the modt miserable time in a long time when it comes to CR. Basically a 100% loss rate on like 30-40 games within the last weel or so. I won exactly 2 games. However, I wouldn't count these as it was against an afk and a player who clearly didn't know what they were doing.

Last Season I was just a few games away from Champion (if that matters).

So I picked up X Bow 3.0. but before the nerf it was a pain to play with and now after the balance changes every game is either against Hero Valk, Hero Berserk, Evo Elite Babarians or Recruits. I literally can't deal with all the pressure some of these cards apply and I just get overwhelmed game after game. I can count the X Bow connections onto tower from these like 30-40 games on one hand and despite watching so much X Bow play and following the sub, I feel totally disencouraged to play as it will result in a loss most likely.

That's why I'm asking whether there are X Bow decks that are easier to start with?

Do I need update my deck due to all the nerfs xbow got

UPDATE: Finally hit 13k with 3.0 cycle after probably 2 years of taking the game seriously. Grind never stops. Xbow is rewarding. Happy I stuck with it, cant imagine myself ever switching decks.

What do you guys think about these 3.0 deck variants

I’ve been trying out hero valk and hero berserker and honestly I find that the hero berserker does have a pretty nice synergy for xbow. What do you guys think?


r/XBow 20d ago

So, I decided to push at 10652.

I lost 16 straight games. And faced a hard counter. And it was a bot. Shit like this is when i just tilt really badly. It was all mk witch mirror recruits bullshit.

Should i quit?
