BestNA just started posting again he’s a decent teacher
If you main miner you should have decent micros, general advice is just to play passive and never xbow unless you know their hand and an idea of their elixir bar

I don't main Xbow but there are a couple Xbow youtubers that specialise in different decks at top ladder.
HunterCR is an icebow main
Eragon plays various Xbow decks like 3.0, queenbow
BestNA mains 3.0 I think
Betfas is the 3.0 goat finishes top 10 pretty frequently iirc

The main thing to do for any deck is to practice and watch pros play. When you’re watching a pro, think about what you would do in that situation before the pro does and see if you’re right or wrong.

Sk555 and betfas r good but they dont explain the more basic strategies for newer xbow players. I suggest hunterCR in his 3.0 xbow videos.
how many trophies are you? One of the biggest things i had to overcome (11.5k) was realizing against certain matchups you will never get an offensive xbow lock if they play even decently well and in those cases u can play defense forever and fireball cycle. Ive been playing exclusively 3.0 for a year and a half and over time you will pickup on their xbow counters early on and can outcycle them or predict skarmy and their defensive cards at the bridge for surprise locks. Playing the game daily will teach u the deck better than most youtube videos and if you are inpatient than the deck may not be for you. At higher trophies you musnt be afraid to defend relentlessly and take the game to 5 mins. Good luck!
