For the xbow part at 6:43, another key reason to not place it in the middle is that it means troops on both sides can tank for the x bow which makes it a lot easier to defend, compared to placing it on the sides which forces troops to be played around that side to tank.

[@DanishSyawal]

Good point

[@BLET_55artem55]

Still, there are some rare cases where this mid river position would be the optimal play. Usually it's against midladder MK players or if you have already destroyed one tower and for some reason need to destroy the other

I really miss seeing this form of mechanics clash video It’s also funny that I used the play the game so much I found everything you explained intuitive and after not playing it so much lately this was a great refresher :)

[@rakaton4793]

I think despite all advices work in 95% of cases, should be said that remaining 5% are exceptions. Im worried some new players may think that when someone places giant or egiant behind the king, you need to ALWAYS spakry/prkka in the corner, but its still better to place them behind the king tower in single elixir, or sometimes in double (sometimes not, but sometimes yes), because if opponent will tornado it, he's down elixir, and also need to defend your now attacking sparky/pekka, and sometimes it outweights the egiant danger. I know the autor of the video didnt say "you always need to sparky in the corner when see egiant in the back", but I still think its better to mention these exceptions exists

[@SpamStuff-h9v]

I found this video very helpful. Making videos like this where you explain interactions and difference in placements and like showing what moving a troop by each tile and the effect it could have is very useful for a CR player to improve. Please make more videos like this so I can get better.

[@chechan0178]

I know all these things without watching any video at all since 2016 except for the princess move at the end of the video... Thanks ❤❤

[@grasz]

EGiant should be placed at the back in the beginning then corner at double time with the second one, and the 3rd one on the edge of the bridge to get them off their tower placement. Lava should be corner then 1 tile opposite side at the back when you have 1 of their tower down to tank either side attack on both your side and their side, plus you counter attack their princess tower or king with support troops. Major difference with pump because it's all about elixirs trade and match ups. 3M could be placed on the corner when their counter is out. But it's a different story combine with pump. Can't let them clip both the pump with troops with spells, but in the same sense can definitely draw their spell to your strong tower.

Clash royale is such an immensely difficult game, I've actually never saw a single competetive mobile game which is harder! Things like these needs to be explained, you're doing an amazing job! Edit : btw i have a question.. So i saw a good golem deck containing prince night witch skeleton dragons bomber void nado zap, am thinking of switching skeleton dragons by baby dragon since it's way more spell resistant also because fireball is way more common than void in mid ladder.. So i think it's a good change offensively but am not sure if it will be a good chance defensively 😕

[@Abdod]

I think Skeleton dragons are better cuz they would bait spells that can be used on Nightwitch or bomber

[@WG_MC_CR]

​@@Abdodfair enough, but when i get in a situation where i have skele drags prince and night witch for example? I think night witch is safer to cycle first but when am down to the choice of prince or skele drags, which ones are better to cycle, also should i cycle the drags in the back (split/non split) or is it better in the corner?

[@Abdod]

@@WG_MC_CR cycling cards mainly depends on you knowing what they have For example id never cycle my skeleton dragons if they have minion horde but if they have something like goblin drill its better to not cycle night witch as she deals better with it than Skeleton dragons Its a deep topic and idk if i can explain it in a comment Maybe itd be worth making a vid one or including it in a vid with other tips

@@Abdod yea you definitely have to know which to cycle based on their cards, but i meant at the beginning of the game when an opponent's cards weren't revealed yet

[@aldenstromberg7273]

dangit my idea was stoled im thinking of making an advanced tech series for cr well if you wanna take my stuff and make it at higher production value, i reccomend doing a video on troop weights and sizes the size of troops can cause things that would ordinarily be pulled to not be. best examples of this are pekka with battle ram and giant skele with hog if you stack the pekka on the inner side of the lane and another unit behind the pekka with a ram on the outer edge of the lane, the normal building placement doesnt work, has to be 1 tile towards the edge same goes for giant skele, but its harder to do, since that deck usually runs queen as the only other offensive ground unit and you generally dont want ur queen next to the giant skele consider a pekka on ur tower you want to push it off by placing a knight, she does not get pushed off, bc the knight has a normal size hitbox by placing a large tank, (bowler any giant golden knight skele king gobbo machine), since theyre bigger, it takes the pekka off of your tower additionally, the deployments of troops has infinite force. since skeles spawn in a large triangle, you can push a pekka off of your tower with the deployment pattern of skeles, even though theyre very small this is how that one fire spirit countering the barrel trick works. you use the placement of a troop to push the fire spirit into the tower so its close enough to splash every goblin the last part of this with sizes is where if you have 2 very large units directly behind eachother, one will connect to something, and the other will be out of range, so it will keep walking forwards, pushing the large unit in front of it. this goes on for unexpectedly long oftentimes. there is a known thing with giant skele + skele king behind. if the enemy plays something directly in front of the giant skele, the skele king tries to walk forwards to hit the thing, but ends up pushing the giant skele farther forwards, possibly into the tower. this can be forced to happen by pre-nadoing an enemy tank, which goes to show that this adanced tech really can lead to game winning scenarios for heavy deck players, and that light deck players should be aware of them to make sure they dont get caught off guard then weights is not as interesting but still worth knowing. there are 3 major weight classes. light medium and heavy. lightweight and medium weight stuff get puhsed by the snowball, but heavyweight stuff does not. (ex snowballing a golem does nothing while snowballing a dart gob sends it flying), additionally, charging essentially increases a units weight. even though the prince is on the low end of heavy weight, when charging, he will resist a tornado as strongly as a golem, same goes for dark prince ram rider and battle ram. all charging units strongly resist tornado while charging

Weight is definitely a good topic thanks for the suggestion ill write it down and hopefully work on it soon
