I personally loved this video. There is definitely high demand for hearing opinions of top players on cr updates right now especially. It's cool that it was structured but I suggest keeping it as conversation-based as it was in this video if not perhaps less structured if that makes sense. Loved the video and would like to see more!

[@sk_555]

So glad to hear that :)

Giant managing to escape a nerf as I face it 18/25 times in the GT

[@wenobe]

it’s not the giant that needs a nerf it’s the duchess 🤦‍♂️ a tiny health nerf ain’t gonna do anything

[@sk_555]

Yep... it's ridiculous

giant void, giant graveyard and lava void meta 😭😭 collab with hunter 🔥tho i just put this on in the background was super good! ❤❤❤

[@marianmanhal5305]

29:00 actually the bats and skeletons have the same hp on tournament standard which is 81 hp But sk accidently checked the evo bats' stats instead of the regular bats That means that evo valkyrie WILL kill the bats and skeletons as they have the same hp Youre welcome 😊

[@sk_555]

Thank you for clarifying! :)

[@BarnacleCR]

Yoo , hunter sk collab this is the best thing 😮😮😮

[@glifts220]

Finally I’ve been wanting this collab for so long

[@Divine__tf]

Lets go guys..the most awaited collab is here 😮‍💨❤️

[@SlitherinSloth]

My 2 favorite clash players right here. Much love to the both of ya. Y’all couldn’t have hit my reaction more on the head lol. Keep up the hard work both of you and would love to see more collabs later on🙌🏽🫶🏽 (Maybe a video idea where sk plays icebow and hunter plays 3.0 whatchu do with that is up to you whether it be 1v1 or see who can make it further in a grand/classic challenge and you can post your runs to your respective channels) Only thing I’d have to add is It’s a bit rough cycling around to your evo just for them to easily die to the same spells as the regular one, but I argue the only reason it seems rough is because of how they’ve implemented them. We used to cycle an unlimited amount and never have an evo, so to have even a slight buff to the card every few cycles is prime territory to me. I think this will bring us back to needing to balance base cards and the “most broken” evo will be due to the base card being the best of them all. As of rn bomber needs more nerfs in my op but regardless of that I’ll use it and archers both surviving log, dying to arrows as an example. Bomber is 2 elixer so arrows is a -1 trade whereas archers are an even trade. Thus making it “harder” to kill bomber. Bomber is more spell resistant than archers so I’d argue that alone would make bomber better than archers (once they actually nerf bomber to a reasonable point). That’d go for many of the other evos as well. Like you said the ice spirits entire function is to go and die, so it inherently won’t get the value that other evos can get. I think the less strong a card is in the meta will equal how strong the evo is. As of rn bomber is still by far the strongest evo even after a cycle nerf. Sure we don’t have to deal with it as often but the card is still brain dead, more spell resistant than others, and has way too high of damage for a 2 elixer card that hits tower from the bridge (don’t get me started on double bounce). So I have a feeling Bonner will still be very heavy in the meta. The last thing I’d say is regarding tower troops. I’d agree with Hunter in saying it’s very matchup based which isn’t good for the game. But beyond that I don’t understand the point of them other than to cash grab and make princess obsolete at this moment. I assumed cannoneer and dutchess would be significantly better in some situations but only some, but overall be worse than a princess. Like if you constantly struggle against beatdown but are great against cycle, cannoneer would help you out but against a hog it’s not gonna 4 shot it or whatever it was doing. Same goes for dutchess, it needs to be straight up weaker than princess in almost every way shapes or form unless your facing the likes of log bait or piggies. Low health stuff that auto dies. It doesn’t make sense to me for it to be soloing multiple different 4 elixer cards. Tower troops, if any, should end at princess, cannoneer, dutchess. One that’s well rounded, one for beatdown, one for cycle. Anymore beyond that will cloud the game and interactions. As of right now they have one that’s terrible, one that’s terrible but slightly better, and one that’s breaking the game (we’ll see post balance change but I doubt much will change regarding dutchess). I’m hoping these balances are finally a sign that they’re going to listen and start fixing their game. It feels like if it wasn’t one thing it was another for well over a year at this point with the boosted cards and trash metas that literally no one was enjoying. I got my fingers crossed🤞🏽🤞🏽 Comment long enough to match the vid my bad lol. Love the longer vids but just a heads up imma be typing ess(k)ays😅🫶🏽

[@juanf.p.6324]

Podcast style videos would be interesting, you do have a podcasting voice and no one's doing CR competitive/balance changes/balance wishlist podcasts since CWA stopped posting

[@borathossain]

Great talk sk+hunter

[@Simon-gh6nz]

bomber should be one cycle and have one bounce removed. its still the worst 2 elixir card. but it now being just a worse firecracker makes it useless.

[@aoi2853]

No lol

[@christopherniswonger3536]

Great video, y’all. It’s nice to have discussions for a better outlook on card playability.

Only evo ice spirit didn't get any rework or nerfs...

[@elesenal]

nice we found an evo without nerf

[@zaion8917]

The fact they didn't even nerf duchess damage is absolutely outstanding. This is more of a problem than every single other evolutions or cards in the game.
