HUGE NERFS INCOMING! Will SPIRIT WALK still be usable?! Clash of Clans

[@EricOneHive]

These equipment changes should be coming with the February update. How do you feel about these changes??

[@Rikka_V1]

They should had went harder on electro boots, but I get it that they care about f2p/casuals and don't want to kill it as it's a new epic equipment.

[@ellipsis4549]

It doesn't make sense for lower town hall players. Hard mode should be hard mode! Don't make changes for hard mode global!

[@bryan1698]

Supercell is forgiven if they return our ores from the nerfs. Otherwise, it is unethical and false advertising.

[@mrmojorisin9068]

Welcome to Supercell's business model for the last 10 years - release something new and deliberately OP, milk the $$$ for a few months then nerf. At the very least they could refund some of the ores but their management are scumbags.

[@ozedsal5581]

I'm happy with the nerf of the Electro Boots. I'm sick of seeing RC charge. The invisible spel nerf didn't deserve that! They should've just nerfed the Electro boots to 150 Aurora!

[@GeorgeFloydLOL]

AS A MAXED PLAYER.. THANK GOD!!! It's so boring watching the same attacks here in legends league!! A shift in the meta is PERFECT

[@VivyLyn]

Agree

[@sethfernau3470]

whattttt you dont like it seeing all 8 defenses be spirit walks 🤣🤣🤣 games so broke

[@kaitodelucky7652]

You bet, nothing changed roots and hydra spam still strong, sprit walk still usable, fireball still 🔥, and buff didn't do anything to majority players.

[@devbokadia8381]

You know electro boots will gonna get Nerfed more than this it's still overpowered

[@Chrollo-gk3oe]

I feel u fam

[@MrKingTheStrongestManOnEarth]

I think the quake boots nerf is more of a problem than the electro boots one. Quake boot no longer kill skellie trap so the king and other troop need to kill them one by one, holding them for some time under heavy defense area. Electro boots, i’ve been doing it for some times now using just level 20 and it works just fine. The nerf will feel very little if i got to level 23 or more compare to level 20 pre nerf that i used before

[@EricOneHive]

Do you think the quake boots are the main reason root riders are so strong right now? Or is it affecting all attacks equally?

[@MrKingTheStrongestManOnEarth]

@@EricOneHive sorry i just add some to my previous comment and explain it a little more. But to answer your question, i think it is. Almost all attack especially the popular RR or super wittch fireball contain of all main army entering the base simultaneously and having a quake boots + spiky ball combo is like having another fireball in the center. Also saving extra jump spell to open middle compartment, so yes

[@SUTH_33]

​@@MrKingTheStrongestManOnEarthi can triple most of the time using itzu style root riders without the king

[@bradleycooke9094]

Hear me out, what if the barb, archer, and hog puppets all spawned the super troop versions of them (reduced number and level for proper balancing)???

[@YokaiGotha]

Sounds better than what we have now.

[@star_master]

Genuinely sounds like a great idea. I think the usage rates would improve a lot if this happened.

[@d_roe777]

If only they release the lavaloon puppet after the minion prince was introduced and it was his epic equipment, the lavaloon would have been so good.

[@5mile-k3j]

Electro boots nerf is minimal imo. My boots are level 14 and last season I was top 10k legends without maxed defenses or heroes doing standard rc charge RR. I haven't scrimmed or anything since th14 so I'm not even a top player. The nerfs still put the numbers for level 20+ well above my level so this shouldn't be a big impact. For EQ boots I'm really not sure. I like them for the one-shot spiky ball combo but it's not like a shield where I predict the hits in advance. I feel like gauntlet + ball could still be worth it in a stacked core where gauntlet splash is substituted for EQ's 60% aoe. This is with the caveat that I'm trying Warden charge fireball in legends atm so I don't care as much about opening compartments with EQ boots, so swapping to gauntlet shouldn't change a lot for me.

[@the_souls_prodigy]

For rocketloon fireball, would you say rage vial plus giant gauntlet would go back to being the superior combo for the king?

[@Lucy_595]

It's quite easy to be top 10k even for non maxed players, you can just do all attacks instantly without being attacked once. It's the finish that matters

[@aoao7407]

the electro boots was anticipated, it's so strong. But the quake and the fireball are so odd, I mean new defense levels are coming still. And to be honest, most of the player only stop the fireball at somewhere around lv21 because that's when you get 6 tiles radius, and it requires 2 EQ to take down some heavy hitpoint def so that they can spend those starry ores for other equipments. The quake boots really feels like a scam, they buff it to go along with the spiky ball so people would upgrade both of them, and now they nerf it again.

Nah the eq boots nerf was perfect. The whole point of boots is to open walls, not make an entire section of base disappear.

[@VeteranGamer-R3]

​@@Lucy_595then why did they buff it's damage (from 50 to 60%) in the first place along with the radius buff?

[@aoao7407]

@ when it was introduced, it max lv hit 50% of the building, but noone bat an eye, then the spiky ball came, they increase the damage to 60% (so people would use it with the spiky like i mentioned). Now they nerf it for "balance", make sense though 🦭🦭

[@ryanleal8429]

23:06????🤷‍♂️

[@aymennyte]

They should've nerfed the spirit fox's ability instead of all this gymnastics around it. The key here is the fact that the fox 4-6 seconds of invisibility/visibility is what's making the strategy broken. A 0.5 seconds less in the invisibility cycle would've done the job perfectly without making the fox's useless

[@malick4614]

2:00 The spiky ball can one shot spell towers at max level wich a significant thing actually

[@robobo1726]

I feel like Eric really glossed over the fireball nerf, this is going to be huge for esports, makes basebuilding a lot easier

[@SUTH_33]

supercell will repeat the same things again and again, make it strong at first, baiting people to upgrade it and nerf it when they reach their target. next epic equipments will still the same. soon enough supercell will nerf the dark orb when people start max it out and release a new common equipments for prince that out shine the dark orb. now supercell just keep lavaloon puppet in the back pocket, when people get fireball to level 24 then supercell again will nerf it and do a massive buff for lavaloon puppet and force everyone to upgrading it and shift the meta and repeat. they can make game balanced, but they're not doing that, just play buff and nerf 28 times a year

[@yatimfitriantohidayat7119]

This is marketing bro. Every developer need this .

[@mthugs4458]

exactly ...it comes to a point where all coc youtubers are now normalizing this nerf and buff...at last everyone playing this game feels like a bait. earth quake equipment was less used earlier then they buffed it and they are going to nerf it....bro now it's evident that they are intentionally doing this to the players...still someone would come and argue for coc's move

honestly im a fan of basically all the balance changes but fireball being nerfed soley for comp is kinda lame, its significantly worse at th13-14 now for just about no reason

[@ibraheem1224]

It's not significantly worse. It's range got reduced by 1 tile. It's still going to deal as much damage as before.

As long they dont nerf electric boots area it all good. Damage not a big deal

[@kieferww3790]

just kinda sucks, i don’t have any equipment maxed other than a couple commons including quake boots. them getting nerfed is kinda forcing gauntlet back in meta which is yet again another epic equipment i need to max. i dont even have one epic equipment max yet.

[@gabriele2444]

So sad that they started the supercell trend of " release op stuff > people spend money/resources > nerf > repeat " even for equipments. Basically f2p players need to wait 3 months before upgrading anything new... so annoying (this is what killed clash royale many years ago, at least for me)

[@amircury3291]

I love how supercell try to make meta changes, i stopped coc at th16 cuz all the pro players was using the same attack. Hope to see what pro players will bring to us

[@julian5699]

Speaking of buffs, we see you Eric 😏 got that grown man strength now

[@nikhil.05697]

That's I why doesn't max any overpower equipment. I just upgrad it to level that's sufficient in attack and upgrade other equipment because as F2P its really hard to max all.

[@ibraheem1224]

That's the correct way to do things. People here are crying after maxing out broken equipments, that it was obvious those were going to get nerfed at some point.

[@Lucy_595]

That takes a lot of understanding and brains. Most players (especially fat casuals) aren't that smart to realize it. They see a new equipment getting them more 3 stars and upgrade it like NPCs.

[@YokaiGotha]

At this point they should just nerf all equipment. People are tired of the new eq-> nerf eq cycle every other month. Its just a way to get extra money for the ore. You literally shoot yourself in the foot if you dont get some equipment for the dps boost, hp boost or effect it gives that enables certain attacks. They should nerf them all so that there aren't objectively better options for equipment. Also heros are way too strong. They can remove entire quandrants of bases in hard mode with little spell investment if you have the right equipment

[@qungquradtataru1470]

The nerf does not stopping meta or impact any strategy to be honest I'm using a variety kind of troops and variety of heroes combination it goes flawlessly even on legend league.. i have 18 accounts so i know what im talking about..

No troop nerfs in this update. Root rider and other ground smash attacks are strong because of the insane earthquake boots and spiky ball combo. Now some defenses will not get 1 shot by that combo after the nerf, and we'll probably see more root rider attacks fail.

[@rockingeorge7503]

In my opinion, I dont think clash of clans is the game where certain meta’s have to dictate everything. I agree with balancing concepts and some things being overpowered but I think one of the best things about the game is diversity. When every attack feels good and there is diversity, the game is most enjoyable. Nerfing invis is going to just be the nail in the coffin for already dying attacks like SARCH BLIMP or BLIZZARD etc. It just feels harsh to determine what needs balancing when you have both a competitive and casual environment. I think they are hurting themselves regardless. Clash most definitely isn’t one of those esports like league or dota where you balance everything around the top percentage player base as you normally would. Diverse attack strategies and multiple options are healthy for the game. Nerfing certain aspects is necessary, killing off entire attack strategies that are innovative and fresh approaches to the game is not the wave. This is just my opinion.

They should still be good, just not overwhelmingly so. These changes seem far more likely to bring the equipments in line with the others (meaning you can continue to use what you leveled) than to make anything unuseable. So I don’t think your ore is wasted, and anyways, you should upgrade equipment that you want to use because it’s fun (and effective),
