That battle healer nerf (removal of natural healing) was not due to a bug or something, it was intended because of the evo goblin cage - they don't know how to deal with her natural healing when she got captured.

I don’t actually think that the cannoneer or the dagger duchess are in unhealthy spots. For the health of the game the princess tower should be the best choice by far. Other troops should be specific options to be used to augment the power of specific decks. Dagger duchess as of right now is in the best spot imaginable! It fits well into very specific, fast pace, offensive decks. It augments their power to allow for better trades against low cost cards, and the decks only allow their opponents to play low cost cards. A meta where both princess and another troop are at the same power level regardless of the deck breaks the game and forces metas to adapt to fight the new tower.

[@justenoughrandomness8989]

dagger duchess is at 4% in grand challenges, tbh that's really not enough, and yes they should be weaker but this is too weak, that's about half the usage of a regular card, canoneer is at 10% and that might be a lil low too considering there are only 4 tower troops in the game

[@docilelikewintercatfish]

as some who played Clash Mini a lot, trust me. if Supercell somehow successfully integrates Clash mini with Clash royale, it will turn into the best supercell game ever

[@shrirammaiya9867]

Great video gratz. I think these are some of the overlooked issues i have found: 1) Game being a little too defensive: Nowadays most high-level games are decided on tiebreaker and not on crowns won. Getting tower damage is becoming harder and harder. 2) Supercell focuses slightly more on nerfing than buffing. This is especially true with evolutions, where now the weakest evolutions like the ice spirit and goblin barrel are the strongest evolutions.

[@dogstacked]

nobody should care about evolutions being weak, anytime you add an evolution to ANY card you are legit buffing it while causing problems for any non evolution card. evolutions are stupid

[@Mike-Al]

What are you talking about? Beatdown is running rampant and is far more common than defensive cycle decks. Just open your eyes and look at all the PEKKA edrag, gob giant, and recruits decks in high level play drill poison and pigs eq are the only meta decks that fit what you describe

[@knecks7374]

For the goblin queen's journey, i really liked it playing in my off time casually, which became impossible when they removed level caps. I really wanted to play it, but i couldnt because i didnt want to spend my gold upgrading goblin cards for a temporary mode that I would rarely use in future. However, I still really liked the idea of adding new cards like this. Basically adding a new way to unlock cards other than ladder, chests or giveaways. A couple things that could have been amazing : - The Babylaunch ability should have belonged to the Queen (because it wasnt, it ended up feeling like a reskined king tower). - The baby goblins should have had a different uniqueness, like shooting poison darts, which could have been retained too. just remove the Queen and add the baby goblins to the normal ladder. - If they do this, they could even bring the Journey back, this time with a new tower troop. All in all, I really wish if we have a solid good theme, it should be turned into a temporary ladder. For example, the Fight Night theme was sexy af, that could have been an entire temporary ladder on its own. Like a temporary ladder spanning 2-3 seasons, each season highlighting a rivalry like MK vs Pekka, Wizard vs ice Wizard (ice vs fire), and maybe as a fun nod to lore, Lumberjack vs Log. They gave away MK evo for free but they could have spread the evo shards on the ladder as rewards while you climb. And we could have gotten even new cards, like I really loved the UFC Barbarian from the advert during that season, that could have been added as a common troop with stats similar to goblin brawler. The goblin refree could have been added as a tower troop, with a special ability called halftime or something. Whenever a certain threshold of enemy troops (calculated by adding elixir costs) enters its proximity (like 2-3 tiles), the refree blares his whistle and it acts like a time-stop or a freeze spell for some time. I blabbered a lot but I just wanna say, temporary ladders have a lot of potential, being the perfect balance between temporary and permanent features. Especially while we have a pretty awesome runic theme coming up in January.

Did you know Witch will get a buff? I think it's a 50% splash increase or something can't remember since Baby dragon will have a similar buff in the next balance changes. Guess your prayers got answered lol.

[@Bronwes]

As a Brawl Star player, I completed the pass and saud, "fuck it, might as well reach Master in Clash," which made me realize how some decks are hated and called "no skill." I decided to play log bait because I was always a cycle player. Everything was good until League 3, I saw mk bait, e-golem, a lot of beatdown. At first, I was spamming Inferno and Princess to defend, and soon it became about precise placements, I even started counting cycles, elixer, and my opponent's card placements. I had a lot of fun despite being free to play and would recommend the grinding path of legends. Edit: I'm a Brawl Star player, so my opinion on CR is nothing compared to yours, so criticism is something I expect But your opinions are welcomed ❤❤❤

[@qoughitup]

“Some decks are hated and no-skill… anyways, I picked up log bait-“

[@alguienqueescribe1761]

I was going to say that if elixir counting starts to become necessary as a cycle player then you might be in the need of changing your deck a bit, then remembered you are playing Log Bait wich is *the* cycle deck that consistently is facing the possibility of dealing with negative trades so elixir counting actually becomes a very good skill to have unlike, Idk... Firecracker, Hog, Quake maybe, wich is literally "Got positive elixir trade (+x or whatever, don't care) in defense? Check Opponent already used their main counter or hasen't played 4 cards since my last attack? Check Sending the hog Repeat" Of course I'm not going to say anything about the actual skill behind those decks, I mean, I play Bridgespam rage, the only 3 highlights in my skill are chaining Bandit's dashes, measuring angles with the Magic Archer and effectively blocking a structure with Rage lol

[@Ronaldomeatrider]

Honestly after I reached league 6 I never bothered continuing because it never win after league 6

​@alguienqueescribe1761 Thanks for the tips, though about counting Elixer. It was something I learned from a friend and used it because why not?

[@Natasha_Velkirk]

As someone who started playing again at the start of this month, that is December 2024, it was actually really fun. However, it was definitely infuriating as all hell to have to deal with units like Goblinstein, evolved Firecracker, and evolved Megaknight. I've grinded up to 4400 or so trophies, amd it's been a lot of fun, but tbh alot of the time when I face goblinstein I just immediately ragequit. He's absolutely cancerous to fight, the only time I don't is when I'm playing a 2v2 game and I've got a sparky or something to deal enough damage to not just get completely obliterated. It's frustrating. I think overall I liked the game more.... But I really, really really really hated having to face some absolutely BS units.

[@ChaYang-y3z]

Goblinstein actually so easy to deal with. Hes hard when in combination with cancerous sht like pekka. Literally if you're f2p, just drop a mini pekka and it 3 hits the goblinstein. Goblinstein is much more cancerous on defense because they have to walk down the lane and you just activate ability and they're fucked. But the thing is, all people do is run log bait or beatdown cancerous sht it doesnt matter what you do. If you make a deck that beats beatdown, then somehow you only get matched log bait sht. If you make a good cycle deck to beat log bait, then you run into beatdown and there's 2 pekkas in 2x elixer for you to death with along with a electro dragon, goblin giant and tornado. Takes 0 skills

[@JaydenLuna-bw7ce]

So your deck must be really underleveled or bad to not face those 3 cards effectively.

[@Leonard.L.Church]

Goblinstein is easy?

[@swavery2590]

short answer, absolutely not not to mention we're starting off 2025 with crackhead ass balance changes!

[@alguienqueescribe1761]

I mean, at least the Goblin Barrel one is nice, it's literally just lowering the skill to do something skilled players could do from before, know wich barrel is wich for a fact since one of them is always one layer over the other depending on who is the true red and who is the true blue wich you can know with specific placements that most players don't care enough about to learn... Not sure if the layer thing was like a bug or something that would cause them to be consistent like that depending on true red and true blue but I want to think it is and that Supercell went "It's not a bug, it's a feature"

[@buildmaster6262]

Clash Mini was one of the best of the 3 clash games they announced they were working on like 3 years ago, it’s said the stopped working in it because they ruined it and turned it into a gatcha game essentially, the first like 3 interactions were the most fun, it just needed more content for multiplayer

[@harrisonbaylor1432]

18:06 “coming soon” doesn’t mean much with supercell. They added dark elixir into clash of clans and the barracks had ten slots with six saying “coming soon” right near the beginning of dark elixir. About ten years later they finally added the tenth dark elixir troop finishing off the ten spots that said “coming soon”.

[@tomphantomlebg]

I actually think this year was not that good. Tower troops unbalanced the game like never before, the goblin event wasn’t that fun…

[@nouche]

I think the other two offers for Elite Wild Cards (the one for gold and the one for gems) should both give the 50k EWC’s all the same as the 8-buck offer on the right. Think about it, the middle one for instance is like 2k gems… which costs a LOT more money than 8 bucks. Same with the 100k gold offer. Are you telling me I can get 50k EWC’s by buying it 10 times? Meaning one million gold? If I were to buy that much gold with gems and buy the required gems with IRL money… that would cost a huge amount of money. It should all give a full 50k for one card upgrade, and sure I’d be fine with them balancing it out with a cap just like they did with the only substantial one that costs real money. That makes me think this game has a huge special offers problem, there’s just so many of them, to the point that they had to remove the “10× VALUE” and such labels because they just stopped being consistent after a while. And that just shows no one is even really going to be considering buying gems straight up anymore… which is kind of stupid given it’s meant to be the base definition of value in the game’s economy~

[@GratzClash]

It seems like gems for elite wild cards deal is just there to make the direct money offers seem better. It’s a very inefficient way to spend gems.

I honestly think that card bans should be a 1 on 1 thing for each ranked game. Right now Ranked is just kind of the same as ladder but with a different arena. Instead of having them be the same, they could add card banning for each game and maybe even a turn-based card selection phase so people can actually see what deck they're fighting and make counterpicks instead of getting screwed by matchmaking rng.

[@nolansundell]

New Year's Eve post nice 🎉

[@Sludge2004]

2024 was the year I got back into Clash Royale. I went off it soon after Champions released because there wasn’t much new or interesting content being added to the game and SuperCell didn’t release nearly as many new cards as they had done in the past. Despite how much people seem to despise them, Evolutions were actually what got me interested in playing the game again. Having a new Evo release each month is a good way to introduce small pieces of new content to the game each month. Plus we actually got a few substantial new card releases this year (6 in total compared to the measly 1 we got in 2023). I’ve been playing CR on and off since 2016 and people who say that the game has somehow become more pay to win recently didn’t play the game back in 2016 where maxing legendaries would genuinely set you back thousands. Is the state of the game perfect? No probably not (Tower Troops were a huge mistake) but I’m fine with the direction CR has taken this year and I think SuperCell are trying to improve the player experience

[@Hexagonaldonut]

I'd personally say I have some pretty mixed opinions on the state of the game currently. I just came back to it for the first time in a while, having been playing on-and-off since just after launch, and never have I ever been as miserable trying to climb the trophy ladder before, if purely because it's just overrun with Mega Knight and Goblinstein. I've never appreciated just how obnoxious Mega Knight actually is before having to deal with it in 7 out of 10 matches I fight, and at least half of THOSE matches had Evo Mega Knight, who manages to be EVEN MORE ANNOYING. I also don't like the current implementation of Lucky Loop, and in fact am annoyed that they're making it *even worse* in the future. The crown requirement scaling is insane, and it really should just be infinite; having a fairly small chance to get powerful magic items doesn't make seeing a Lucky Drop require *100 crowns* not feel like ass. If they're really so concerned about people being able to farm too many of them, then clearly how many crowns you can earn from non-ladder matches needs to be revisited.

11:23 I'll be perfectly honest... I loved Goblin Queen's journey. I didn't even need to intentionally grind it because I got to the top of the challenge just from how much I was playing it. I miss the Baby Goblin tower troops too, I wish they got to stay just moved over to the main game modes as a skin for the towers if nothing else. Goblin Queen would have been nice to keep too, but since she had an actual ability she would need to just be demoted to a skin. I wonder if Goblin Queen's journey was a soft launch of sorts for new King Tower troops. Maybe they were thinking of that idea at the time but decided against it.

Bro saying the blackout gamemode was fun is a war crime🙏😭💀

[@arceususedsplash300]

Yo, considering the difficulty to some of these changes, here some info from somebody who knows a little bit about game dev. Challengenges: The challange system is most likely modular, so adding "new" challenges for cards who dont have all... Should be cheap and easy. They dont need good challenges, they can just reuse some and tweak the numbers so cards have them. Star Levels... Considering Star Levels.... Yeah no most star-levels are pureley texture changes. It takes minutes to take a texture and change its color or slightly tweak the design. Give level 3 archers purple hair like the archer queen? Litteraly just mask the texture for the hair with a purple color. 2 minutes of work. A lot of units only use a golden instead of metal weapon on armor for example... Literally just a color change. Again, the system should be modular and dynamic.... So it takes an employee maybe ( 10min per tex, 116 cards = 19.3 hours) a week for a golden star level for all cards. If it is a discontinued feature... Okay, reduce the effort but finish what u started Supercel. In case the systems are not modular, they should rethink their programmers cause dang.

[@Hexagonaldonut]

For what it's worth, some Star Levels do actually add bits to troops, so it's not JUST retextures, so I feel like that time estimate is probably a bit optimistic, but I definitely agree that it's something that should be trivially easy to just throw into each update a couple cards at a time. Mostly I think the caveat would be that all cards use pre-rendered 3D models, and if their setup for that has changed any they'll probably need to re-render the non-star graphics in addition to rendering new graphics for the star levels. Not really something that'd necessarily be *hard,* just a bit of extra time.

[@arceususedsplash300]

@@Hexagonaldonut Well yes you are very much correct. Some add additional features like the irokese for the goblins e.g. But if they do not feel like putting in lots of work, they can just resort back to texture changes. Atleast give us the remaining star levels for cards who dont have it. No need to make them extravagant. Still more than nothing with a side of broken promises. The estimate for the time was indeed lowballed. But even if they need half an hour for a single one (which might still be lowballed) it is (statisticly) only enough work for a single employee who works a 40 hour week

[@tretidql]

I think they need to make evolutions more accessible. I've been playing since their introduction, and I currently have 8 out of the 27 evolutions, though I'm about to get my 9th. That's absolutely insane-less than a third of them! If they keep adding more, I'll never be able to experience all of them. Evolutions are their primary way of monetizing, apart from level 15 and good special offers. However, they should at least make half, or slightly more than half, of them accessible. I have to give credit where it's due for adding a second evolution shard in the pass, but the problem is that they added it way too late to be beneficial. (Don't get me wrong, adding a second evolution shard does help!) My point is that they introduced it too late-when there were already 24 evolutions. If they had added the second shard at the beginning of evolutions, it would have been a completely different story.

I ended up trying out brawl stars for the 2nd half of the year and I haven’t been playing much since cause every match just feels the same with Mega Knight and Pekka evos. Most cards also felt underwhelming especially Goblinstein for me I don’t know why but it just seemed so easy to counter in general. Hopefully 2025 is just better in content in general and keeps interesting modes in permanently

[@justenoughrandomness8989]

16:24 i legit thought it was unlimited, it's such an amazing way to have a gold dump to max out your account

[@-catgobrrrr-]

Don’t forget the 2 bugs of this year as well. People finding a way to have 8 Little Prince in there deck slot and having the Goblin Queen Journey tower troop and queen tower in Path of Legends

[@Fortevan]

I've never used the tower troops because of the levels. It's just so hard to level them up if not paying, and believe me, a level 12 royal chef doesn't work that well when being tower king level 15...

[@HoobyTheOriginal]

I want Sparky to get an evolution where she gets charged from what would normally stun her, that’s it, no extra buff, just make it so they can’t just say nah with an electro dragon or electro wizard.

[@The_Proud_Texan]

I think they should make 2v2 ladder more extensive as a permanent game mode

[@ezraelisoff1988]

this is why i don’t play cr anymore, the decisions they make are just so idiotic and the changes to progression are greedy to make the game more grindy than it already was

[@Twag7]

It might be interesting if you did a history of widely hated bad cards, and why they were so hated despite their ranking.

[@gusmoore7576]

Ngl I personally enjoyed the welterweight challenge as it was sort of fun seeing the weird ways you could outplay your opponent

[@sweatygamer22]

7:08 look at giant's face lolll

[@dawnistaken]

nerf evo pekka please

[@couriersix7504]

I don’t understand how it is op compared to many other things in the game

[@lmgdogewowl2474]

It's a problem for lower ladder players, I witnessed it when spectating one of my friends all the way back in pekkas playhouse.

[@couriersix7504]

@ yeah that’s straight pay to win right there

[@rbfkng]

They will actually, the hp she gets back will be proportional to the troop killed

[@BossSaidYT]

Buff evo pekka

[@cbored3778]

Imo the goblin queen mode should've unlocked the goblin queen king tower troop for the other modes and then release tower troops specifically for them. This would allow way more variety and actual counterplay between archetype.

[@IdrisAfonina-u7w]

Amazing job, you always bring the best stuff.

[@Anonymouse2357]

Guys, we can’t buff 3M because the single musketeer is in a good place, so the musketeer troop is off limits (balancing wise). Supercell: *adds musketeer evo

[@geometryemperor]

And now they are buffing her anyways.

[@silverfirework]

I want them implement the long anticipated 2v2 infinite elixir. I think in 2020 or 21 they said the technology (back then) wouldnt be able to handle the chaos. But now its 2025. And i believe even low end, cheap devices of 2023 and beyond have more than capable hardware to handle such chaos even with evolutions.

[@soap2good]

Hope Supercell can nerf miner this year

[@Eyebrowguy420]

I know I'm a little late but I would like a video about the november 2023 season maybe name it "history of clash royales 2nd most chaotic season" or a history of clone called "history of clash royales worst spell"

[@Suchti0352]

Clash mini is the only reason why I started following Clash Royale again and I'm terribly affraid of how it's going to turn out.

[@IHonestlyHaveNoIdea123]

Happy new year everyone!

[@alexanderjay4892]

Supercell this year was like a crackhead begging for money.

[@piepiece4952]

With the new pass royale change you have to get an absurd amount of crowns and i hate it.

[@nouche]

Aren’t they also buffing Dagger Duchess this upcoming patch? I think it’s in the WIP changes to make her able to store two more knives~

[@SpareShadez]

Yeah I like these type of vids, def nice to have a modern day review after a year of history lol

[@thelifeless125]

I wish there was a "Vanilla" game mode with no evolutions, champions or tower troops

[@cheesybrik]

I just want you to know I don’t play clash royale at all but I still watch your videos because they’re so good ❤

[@grass8776]

The one thing i want supercell to do is make xbow viable again instead of letting it rot while releasing more cards that counter it

[@Lightning1780]

Happy New year 😊

[@GratzClash]

Happy New Year!

[@boazemek226]

amazing video thanks man

[@JamesBOLINGER]

I think we need a "history of the electro spirit in clash royale" video.

[@nouche]

Would it be possible for a tower troop to have, say, a bad stat, like range or damage, in exchange for *_splash_* damage?

[@bolatisop8056]

I beg Supercell to add 10000 trophies! It would be so clean and initially incredibly competitive so it would last for a long time before we see the trophie leaderbords being useless like today. Probably incredibly easy to do aswell since they really just do it every month.

[@noobishnubreal]

Why don’t you just play PoL instead man 💀 old CR is gone. Trophy leaderboard is a thing from the past. Actual Competitive play with leaderboard is in Path of Legends.

[@SmashJEFF]

what do you think the best evo added to the game was? personally, i agree that wizard getting an evo was great. however, i think the goblin cage was as perfect as it gets since it wasnt broken on release and is still somewhat healthy today

[@GratzClash]

I think the mega knight one is the best. It’s very unique and feels surprisingly balanced

[@Rationalist101]

​@@GratzClashMega knight evolution is ridiculous

[@nouche]

Have we ever seen the gems Hoggy Bank? It was technically added the same update as the gold one~

[@bluecat1871]

didnt even kwnow that healer has a bug
