I like your voice a lot better because gratz’s voice (and ppl like summoning salt who speak in the same monotone voice) makes it hard for me to focus on the video and makes me bored you just earned a sub :)

Bro likes little kids (not in a weird way)

Thank you for this after Gratz I didn’t think I would have anywhere else to get clash royale trivia as background noise while I was at work seems like a big step up too 👍🏼

[@JoelLikesCR]

This was nearly on my top teen most broken cards upon release, this card was basically a baby Phoenix at launch.

[@theastonvillaseal585]

Meh, he in my decks with lava nowadays

[@arcto2]

Yeah 100% :)

[@saltybot5449]

Mega Minion is one of my favorite cards of all time. A 3 elixir mini pekka but in the air? Pretty nice. So excited to hear its history.

[@arcto2]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)

[@j0hn451]

24:19 Hey Arcto, if I remember correctly the common conclusion when the phoenix was released was that Supercell made it purposely overpowered just to shift an extremely stale meta.

[@arcto2]

I think you're right John. It's just supercell doing their monetization strategy..

[@arcto2]

It's crazy how many things have changed since 2016! If you could, would you go back to 2016? Or do you like today's Clash Royale more? P.S. I have many new videos coming up soon, and I'm trying to improve with each one. I hope you'll enjoy this journey with me! P.P.S.

[@arcto2]

@@A7MDXD Thank you once again bro. You're amazing! :)

[@juanborra6055]

I mean if can still remember the events, balance changes, and updates that will arrive in the future maybe I would. I would take advantage of every overpowered card (Either on release or due to a buff) in order to succeed even for a brief moment. Especially when the slash royale event occurred as I would know to upgrade only commons and rare cards during the event, while hording my epic and legendary cards.

[@Mam0ru_Takamura]

Hey arc I'm promoting your channel and recommending them to my friends pls don't forget about us when u get famous 😊

[@outofnameideas875]

I remember the first time playing this game before the Electro-Wizard was a thing

[@mijkolsmith]

That change from 1.3% to 1.5% at the last update was a great idea from clash royale, it would've probably been a broken card again at that dps

[@8illy]

I will! thank you:)

As a clash royale outsider that liked to watch gratz's videos to peer into the meta of a game I was familiar with, hearing that he was actually a creep (for the second time lol used to watch him on his mkwii channel), and being disappointed by the fact I lost a cool style of content I used to enjoy, this video is great. Keep up the good work, and don't groom minors

[@HexdaHeresiarch]

Thank god someone other than that groomer creep Gratz is making these long-form CR videos! I really hope you keep going and succeed. I know which channel's videos I'll be watching in any case.

Thank you bro!🔥

[@pandachess4110]

I think Mega Minion needs another buff, because the only deck which he fits in is Lavahound and even here he sometimes gets replaced. Phoenix killed the situation of Mega Minion. I think, Hitspeed 1.4s and 5% more damage would be perfect.

[@arcto2]

Yeah 100%

[@shhnaogrita]

7:06 that's so true, i remember being pissed off when I got him as my first legendary and then being really confused when I started playing again in 2021 and I realized that he had become a good card

[@arcto2]

You don't play for a few months and so many things can change it's crazy. Glad you liked the video!

[@manudem]

When bro pulled the Nickatnyte + Molt combo I knew he was cooking

[@adogewithwifi1652]

It’s hard to say pheonix release wasn’t a monetisation strategy when on release there was a shop deal to max out the card

[@arcto2]

Thank you so much I really appreciate it!

[@Clairavoya]

9:38 This is actually incorrect, the current day version of the level 11 mega minion would be the level 13 one. Where it actually has the same exact health and didn’t have such a drawback whatsoever. Equivalent levels for level 14 and 15 didn’t even exist back then because neither did they, unless you used maxed mirror to essentially have level 14 troops

[@arcto2]

Sorry about that Claira! I realized that too after uploading the video on youtube. It's one of my first videos so it's easy to make mistakes.

Can you believe it's been 8 years already. Crazy lol

[@aldenstromberg7273]

mega is a cool card, i like making interesting decks, and i once made a megaminion graveyard cycle deck with prince and ice spirit very fun stuff, i grew to appreciate how stronk megaminion is as a dps, kinda sad that as power creep takes over the game more and more, mega isnt enough dps anymore and needs a second unit to support. apparently, mega is actually more dps per elixir than phoenix now, but still is worse than phoenix, because phoenix is more of a general anti air + dps (including handling swarm) while mega is more of a dps focus, while not being enough of a dps and not being enough of an anti air to be used alone in either category. now the only mega players are the people who hold onto it for nostalgia, because phoenix just replaced it in basically every way.
