How Mega Minion SAVED Clash Royale

It's always interesting to listen to how any change to a game with troop interactions domino's its way to affecting every other card in the game. I think that the sentiment about the mega minion is just as you described, unhated and balanced. Always look forward to new videos, as they make great background noise for while I'm playing clash royale.

[@lurientheenjoyer6711]

I don't play this game, I haven't since like at least 2018 or something. I don't really care about it either.

Keep up the great work m8

[@TurtleKing-hg1lx]

Mega minion is one of my favorite cards in the game I’m glad to see another video and a full breakdown on him

[@diegocosta493]

I used to hate it when it was released because it felt too strong with giant (I remember the meta being giant poison) and it even could survive a Fire Ball. They nerfed MM after that and since then it feels a pretty balanced card

[@blackheart4360]

I miss those good Ole days. Giant pushes. Not just random non skilled random 1 hit hog (who still needs to be 5 elixir) cycles for 6 years straight. nowadays everyone just plays firecracker. Who also needs to be either 4 elixir or die by log. Lastly, atleast during those days. We had draws. Which still I don't understand why they removed a whole deck arch type (draw heavy decks) to please those non skilled players.

[@gamersreactions9267]

​@@blackheart4360 i agree with most of your comment, but hog is decently fair if firecracker would be balances. And draws were not a good thing. When i was actually tryharding i played xbow and either won, or played to a draw. Losses were so rare if you piloted the deck correctly

[@Crispy_DAWG]

I can’t for the life of me use mega minion. I try, but the range nerf made it feel horrible to play. It’s also why I can’t really use Phoenix either

[@blackironwalterkus3851]

@@blackheart4360giant is no skill

[@blackheart4360]

@blackironwalterkus3851 you can kite with a giant. Also it's 5 elixir. Which is balanced. Hog rider gets a free random hit at start per game for 4. That's not balanced. once tiebreaker became a thing hog rider became worse to see.

[@sethmeaseles3301]

It's kinda crazy that this game is on such thin margins that a tenth of a second can make a tower go from balanced to broken. It seems like such a minor change but it always has massive consequences.

[@BuckFieri]

Can you do a video about masteries? To me, it appears like supercell wants us to forget about them. They haven’t added tier 3 masteries to most troops, and in the past year they’ve nerfed rewards, taken away post-game stats and recently taken masteries out of the cards menu. Now the only way to see mastery progress is by the mastery button in the deck builder or in the troop badges, both of which aren’t sortable and thus, difficult to navigate.

Still use it to this day it will always hold a place in my heart

[@sk_555]

I personally always enjoyed using the Mega Minion, it feels extremely fun to use and acts as a very solid single-target high DPS air card. I'd say at some points in time, it could've been considered the most balanced card in the entire game. Sadly it's overshadowed by many other cards at this point and doesn't see too much use rate (mainly just Little Prince honestly), but I'll always love it!

Do history of Splashyard/Graveyard. A card/deck midladder players think is underpowered, but top ladder players think is broken.

[@MhmtEumer_]

I am a consistent UC 2000~ medal player (definently not a "Top player") and i think that splashyard is not broken but its annoying cuz of the randomized behaviour of graveyard. Sometimes even if you poison it it will get like 5-6 shots which roughly means 650 damage. Miner and drill is considered to be annoying for the same reason.

[@ChristopherYost-fm8jd]

I don't know why but I remember Mega Minion being extremely strong at it's release. I thought it attacked as fast as minions did or a tad bit faster (at the beginning of the video). It needed a nerf because it was used so well on attack and defense. I think it should be the same but have a fast movement speed. It gives it a chance to hit long range targets or get closer to king towers. It's a card that you don't play alone so spells like fireball or splash troops like Wizard still takes it out pretty easily.

Mega Minions is my favorite for how perfectly it does what it’s meant to, while also looking pretty cool.
