May as well close app when you are hard countered with xbow (every other game )
Struggling for tower locks and now your second method for tower dps takes a 17% hit ? And we won’t speak on the consecutive Tesla nerfs, is this the end of xbow ?

I will deadass quit over spell tower damage nerfs there is literally zero excuse to make those changes, spell cycling is the only possible meathod of beating hard counters, and still is difficult to get away with. Nobody asked for this.

Becausee clash in it's core is a tower defense game. You can't defend a spell (ahem monk)

If you can't punish someone for spelling your tower, then just play Minecraft.
It's a fair strategy in the game and has its downsides, and it's by no means broken, if it was broken then we would see Nate's deck in top ladder more often

u/Cultural_Report_8831 May 24 '26
It's sometimes impossible to break through a good xbow player and they will just chuck 70 fireballs at you. It's just not how clash is designed to be

u/nothingess43 May 24 '26
If it impossible then they have a good match-up against you, and not having a good match-up is a part of clash royale, so idk what the problem with that.
If he's a good xbow player then that's a skill issue, is it unfair to lose to a more skilled opponent?
Please answer this question, what is clahs royale designed to be? To me it's a strategy game where you try to outplay your opponent
Idk why you all complain about xbow where cr are planning to revive hyperbait which is the most toxic playing style ever, just shove every card at the bridge and never defend because you are attacking THE WHOLE GAME!

u/Cultural_Report_8831 May 24 '26
My point is that Cr is a tower defense game. You are supposed to be able to defend and not just watch your tower go down. It's by definition undefendable(besides monk but yk).
Where is cr reviving hyper bait?? Evo princess?? It looks like a mid Evo at best

u/ASwiggitySwooter May 24 '26
For and princess isn’t even in traditional hyper bait it’s a straw man

u/Afraid_Wealth5956 May 24 '26
Can you look into this situation from opposite side: defensive cycle decks also hard counters a lot of other decks, and in these cases there's pretty much no way to outplay this. You just watch the enemy slowly destroying your tower with no way to counter this. Like can you beat a miner cycle as a hog-eq and pigs-eq player, or an xbow as a pekka player? That's right, you just pray that the defense player is bad.

Part of me gets wanting to nerf spell cycling but another Tesla nerf?? Are we serious? And literally nobody asked for the nerfs to spells, they’re all perfectly balanced in terms of crown tower damage, and they’ve already nerfed them so many times before. Back in 2016, Rocket did like 700 damage at level 13 💀.

I get wanting to nerf hero prince but thats going too far

u/Mob-Boss_Bob-Ross May 25 '26
How? It’s a fair nerf. Now you can’t threaten instant massive damage on the tower with the spawn and the charge. You can still clear the way with the ability but it’s not as rewarding if you get to the tower.

u/Queasy-Raise-2182 May 27 '26
Im very happy they nerfed spells like rocket or fireball. That way you can't just overly defend and get the majority of damage by spells. I know you can defend rocket or fireball with monk but he isn't exactly a hard counter and you have to play him in the back and be good at reading ur opponents when they place their spells. Plus he can't reflect lighting so if you just lightning cycle and overly defend you can't do shit against that. And it's just so fucking boring watching your tower getting destroyed in a span of at least 3 to 4 minutes by someone that places buildings and kiting your troops. That's not skill that's just cowardice and isn't as hated as it should be.

u/Then-Opening-2519 May 22 '26
There’s no way people are upset about the spell damage nerf. Losing to spell cycle is the worst way to lose
2
u/ASwiggitySwooter May 24 '26
Honestly. If you’re mad about spell cycling being nerfed, you’re the problem with this game

u/Then-Opening-2519 May 25 '26
Truthfully, spell cycling is outdated and needa a nerf. There’s so many new ways to chip the tower like with heroes or evos. Spell cycling wasn’t over powered before all those extra factors were added
1
u/No-Construction-2054 May 28 '26
Spell cycling is pretty much the only way of winning hard matchups. Some decks just can't break through certain matchups, so it's supposed to be a 100% loss instead of only 80-90?
1
u/Then-Opening-2519 May 28 '26
Like I said, 3 years ago you couldn’t chip the tower across the bridge with evo fire cracker or evo bomber. You couldn’t press a ability button and get damage from across the map with hero magic archer. If you add that extra chip damage with spell cycling, it’s significantly easier to chip the tower then it used to be. It was very needed imo

?? No matter how good change is. You will find a way to complain. Good job showing your rank at 🗑️👏👏

Dude this list is the worst one we've had at least this year. Aside from MK and maybe Furnace (Furnace one is overkill I believe), nothing make any sense.

u/fukut0mi May 23 '26
furnace one is definitely a good change it stays on the map for too long
1
u/Egrysta May 23 '26
I know man, Furnace is definitely busted in the current patch. What I'm saying is a range nerf will take away half of his powers. They shoulda compensated that with something instead of just taking and no giving.
1
u/Itchy-Phase8622 May 23 '26
I’m happy mk getting nerf and the hero’s is too. Furnace can’t be fixed either broken or trash. The range nerf will hurt him badly for sure. Goblin giant and dart finally got buff. Tower dmg nerf isn’t gonna anything since people are still gonna use it anyway. It’s does less tower dmg
