Personally I really like the idea that the heal spell fermented from lack of use and eventually became the spirit, rather than it just being deleted and replaced

[@AlessandroPioltelli]

thats actually a cool in-universe explanation! its like the heal spell turned moldy or something

Same and i think it fits with the broken heal spell teaser

Like the inverse of Japanese yokai where constant use gives it its own soul

[@redstonewarrior0152]

I mean, the teaser and concept art and release graphic all show a broken heal spell with a heal spirit coming out of it, and not to mention, monk being able to reflect the heal spirit, I would say that the spell did transform into a spirit.

not exactly direct because it was rather replaced by the healing spirit. A mini example: if I had the healing spell at level 9 then the healing spirit would be level 9 because it would be replacing them. but that was the only card removed from the entire game.

[@Random_person98]

@@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569 Rage spell is fine now. Better than ever if you ask me. I was an avid user of lumberjack back in the days and when you have +1k games with lumber, you know how to take proper advantage of his rage. it was essentially an Arnold Goblin that dropped a rage spell when killed. You could easily get +5 elixir value from a card that cost 4 elixir. I know lumber was (and is) a niche card (basically only ice+lumber+loon uses him now) but then, it was a matter of skill and card knowledge, not just bs loons. Rage now makes the lumber a little more balanced (I would increase his attack speed a little tho), and its itself balanced since it also deals with bats/skellies I remember when bats came out, it was impossible to deal with them. No zaps since logs were dominating everything and using arrows was positive for the bats user. It was a genius move by supercell to make both, the ice and the rage to kill said troops. however I still love bats and use them to counter inferno towers. Have a good day

[@cleond.kingfire9113]

I feel like if the heal spell would only heal a specific amount of HP instantly (like 400) or instead costed 5-6 elixir then it would be more balanced. Reducing the effect time or range is also an option, But there is also the interesting alternative of it only effecting one troop and fully healing it. Specifically based on whatever troop it is, costing one more elixir than whatever card it is healing based on how it is used. Kind of like mirror but as a healing mechanic.

[@relojdewikidot8488]

technically, mirror is the card with the most counter in the game, although this depends on the card that it is reflecting and since mirror is all the cards in one, that means that all those counters are combined, making the mirror the card with the most counters according to the card that it reflects.

I love the heal spirit concept, but all of the hassle the devs went through could’ve been avoided if they just reduced the hp of *only* the 3 musketeers so they died to a fireball. Just change the color/model of them to differentiate from the musketeer. I get why they wouldn’t want to do variations with cards like skeletons/goblins, but three musketeers was so oppressive at that time I feel like that was the simplest and easiest compromise that you could make.

[@frozenfeet4534]

[@Sam_The_Game_Dev]

Slowly but surely, all supporting spells will be replaced/outshined by a spirit version supercell adds (or will add, because the card ideas department isn't that strong nowadays lol) The problem isn't the spells themselves being bad, it's the trend with 1 elixir spirits that started with ice spirit (not fire spirits, they used to be 2 elixir and felt like a normal card, not a gimmicky one) Gimmicky in the sense that they still apply the effects of their spell counterpart plus being able to swerve enemy units for being considered a troop type, bait some attacks if well timed, have just enough HP to tank the princess tower and still jump, and deal small dmg (which is something heal spell did get at some point, but rage and clone didn't, but is something that could be added if those spells were to get a spirit counterpart), all that for 1 single elixir These are all things the remaining support spells don't have, yet still costing 2+ elixir, which makes them even worse for cycle

[@ratioed1438]

It took them a long time to fix that card. I can only imagine how frustrated the devs were trying to balance that card.

[@tsuaririndoku]

Why they don’t just rework 3 Musketeers? Instead of using the Musket that have large caliber. Increase deploy time for 3 Musketeers. Maybe 7s deploy time like Pekka do. Basically you have enough time to counter it. Or make 3 Musketeers as a separate character to Musketeer. So the buff and nerfs does not affect either two. Or making 3 Musketeers unable to target Air.
