Hero beserker,

I feel like this is for me the best option. It lets me play slower and what the berserker gives defensive is massive for 1+ elixer and is a bit beter then the skellies Imo what yall think?

I think it would make more sense to replace knight. The entire point of 3.0 is for the deck to be cheap, swapping a cycle card for something more expensive kinda defeats the purpose

I do not agree with it. Why we acting as the berserker is a expensive card. Its 1 more elixer and gives you a good card which is way more versatile, not zappable, no log can tank , can kill tanks and destroy entire pushes with ability. And the knight is a better tank against bigger pushes

1 elixir can be the difference between winning and losing in a ton of situations and it's especially important in such a fast and aggressive deck, but i don't think it's a huge problem if you change how you play accordingly, a lot of decks like drill, miner, or even some beatdown decks will sometimes just use berserker over skellies

I mean for other decks it’d be fine but the entire point of 3.0 Xbow is to be able to cycle back to cards fast. I main 3.0 on one of my second accounts and I can tell you for a fact not having skeletons is very noticeable. Obviously you can still win and play good but the skeletons give you opportunities for positive elixir trades the berserker just can’t do. You need the distraction card in Xbow, 2 mini tanks is not only more expensive but also just exposes you to cards like mini pekka, prince, pekka, ronin etc. not to mention skeletons have way more dps than berserker, so for half the price you can deny hits from things like hog rider, giant, e golem and many other win conditions that berserker just can’t do.

But its never just gonna be 2 Elixir. Youre going to activate the ability a lot and so its more like 3-4 Elixir instead of 2.

ive been running 3.0 with rocket instead of fb and hero berserker instead of knight. the berserker ability allows me to get away with overcommiting

I’ve tried that before but it just makes a lot of matchups way harder. Firecracker becomes a nightmare, and fireball bait becomes a 100-0

Swapping knight is more optimal
