Elite Barbarians are pretty average today, and could not be considered one of the most hated cards in this game. Although they have average use and win rates in both ladder and the competitive scene today, this was certainly not the case for the majority of their lifespan. This is their story.

[@geometryemperor]

I think the balance changes that were done to address the Three Musketeers in 2018 (buffing their counters, nerfing their synergies, introducing new cards that counter them) affected Elite Barbarians quite negatively as well, which was why they dropped so much during that time.

[@---Mattia---]

I remember perfectly how broken they were. People started running e-barbs and barbarians just to stop them

I remember those days, I always played Giant + Witch, so those were pretty rough times.

Hi Gratz! Your videos have single-handedly reminded me on how complex and interesting this game is and swung me back into the Clash series. Been having lots of fun so far, so I just wanted to say thank you!

[@some_meme6707]

I remember this. My deck, like many, was designed to counter elite barbs as I was no high level and didn't have the time to be one. I did just fine for a while, but by the time they added things like the executioner and mega knight, I was already too used to my anti elite deck and had invested too much into it. At that point I quit playing. Came back last year and wow there's a lot I missed.

[@alexb9969]

I remember adapting to this era by making an anti-ebarb deck. Bowler was the main defense, with an ice golem in front to last longer, and garveyard freeze made the push. Ebarb players had no patience, so the tough bowler would push them back until the rage wore off. I gotta admit staying true to my principle and never using this braindead toxic card until they received the deadly nerf, but on that last day before the bc, when I finally took them for one round, I was stunned at how op it was to play them

[@spacesmorgy6820]

Elite barbarians +rage was always a fun if not somewhat broken play in 2016 good to see they were good at other points in time to

[@Vaquero2o9]

I used that combo back in 2022 when rage still had a large area and it was one of my favorite combos. I never really got to use these crazy cards cause I got to pekkas playhouse when clash royale was somewhat new and got inferno dragon as my first legendary and called it a day

[@riatorex8722]

Oh God, it was *disgustingly* broken. I genuinely don't know how I managed to get to Jungle Arena with my old Giant+Witch+Prince deck

[@dtay234]

I was in the range of super high elite barb usage during that time and it was hell. However, I'm grateful because it gave me the idea for the deck I have used ever since, my Pekka Freeze deck.

[@alpacaofthemountain8760]

Nice to see a story with a good end... great video, very well made

[@tor_dot]

Your videos are always informative and a great listen. I hope eventually there's a card history for all the cards in the game. Maybe a 3 balance change minimum? It would also be intriguing to find if there are any cards that have stayed relatively the same since release.

[@nouche]

Never say “once and for all” with balance. All it takes is the right balance change to another card-or a new card to be released entirely-in the future for the e-barbs’ balance to get challenged once more. The domino effect really _can_ strike from anywhere, and this might also by why Supercell wants to hold off when implementing a balance change until the other components (i.e. changes to other related cards) are ready as well. That and the fear of community outrage. Never *EVER* underestimate the potential consequences of a backlash. Releasing the same things but in a different order can definitely impact how people will react, how angry and/or relieved they’ll be, and if players will classify your rework attempt as a hidden buff or a dumb nerf. Nerf a card but forget to touch its counters? The other way around? Yeah~ The use/win rates and all the associated meta stats will eventually-and quite quickly-even out and settle on the same values regardless of balance order. However, getting a couple of weeks/months of an unbearable toxic nightmare (on mid or top ladder) can leave a seriously bitter taste. And history will remember it if you needed to do an emergency nerf.

[@Post_the_most]

We definitely need a video on the zap as I remember the card as a menace and nowadays don't see anyone using it in mid ladder

[@avaraz6941]

I remember when those came out with the buff, it was the strongest unit in the game. People would just drop them and you feared for your life because only a few units could not even counter them, but slow their progressions. They were tanky, fast, and dealt so much damage, you could just drop them on a tower and if the oppenent didn't defend, it was gone in seconds... well, even if the player defended your tower was still gone

[@christopherbaumann715]

It's interesting watching videos like this about the history of CR because I get to learn so much about the meta environment that I didn't care about back then. I remember playing in 2016 in high mid ladder and not having a significant issue with e-barbs at all, even though I was usually underleveled as a f2p player. Maybe it was just the deck I was running, idk.

[@z1u512]

I haven't played clash royale for almost 4 years now and goddamn that triggered ptsd.

[@mariobaic6180]

It wasnt mid and high ladder tho… it was mid ladder and whale ladder. Mid was casual f2p up to sweaty low budget spenders… High ladder was whales dropping hundreds to thousands of dollars to max out a card day 1. So when it came to community backlash, it was justified as only whales were playing a balanced game, while 99% of the player base was still at day 170 out of 215 to max out fireball, their first max card.

[@thc1461]

Tbh if I were to rework the e-barbs I would make it so that the e-barbs have the same speed as the regular barbarians but they get a temporary special rage effect that boost their speed by a lot if they took out a unit. That way, it could be used to kill big units then the e-barbs would Get their high speed boost to counter push the enemy. Also, considering that the e-barbs are raged when they kill a unit, the rage spell wouldn’t effect it anymore.

[@Miraiko2408]

[@renanwillian1411]

my only complain with e-barbs since beggining of time is how little reaction time you got, because not only you had to have a really good defense on your hand otherwise you are screwed, but in a matter of like 2-3 second you have to choose the defense, position it in the right place on time because the input lag would fuck you up and the e-barbs would no aggro your gang of goblins or whatever you put to defend them

I remember back like in 2016 or 17 I was going somewhere with my dad and i he saw some friends from school, he started chatting with them and I was bored in the car waiting for him and I started up Clash Royale, said F it, let me try elite barbs, and Holy smokes I won like 20 games in a row. For some reason this memory comes into my head every time i see elite barbs

Oh I remember this card vividly. I actually managed to never got e barbs to a decent level somehow (was a free player.) But I did remember getting to the top arena at the time. I had this weird hodge podge deck that focused on getting a battering ram and a lumber jack, with log, zap, and other random card to try to get e barbs and royal giants at bay. I ahs a lot of fun back then I won't deny, what made me quite the game was I couldn't play against any of my friends because they're cards were higher level than mine

[@phenix2403]

i remember this, lol. Ebarbs in almost all matches, Royal giants in most matches. It was a mess

[@ReXiRa787]

It's been literal years since I've played clash royale and I'd never forget using e-barb rage in mid-ladder 😅 Edit: still traumatized by e-barb deployment sound though

[@marceloxaustivo784]

It’s actually impressive that they made the card which you could just use cycle with heal spirit and rage and win, balanced

[@cannibalskitchen8421]

The first time I reached Legendary Arena was at the height of the E-Barb meta because I had a deck with Golem, Bowler, Dart Goblin, and Miner with a very strong matchup against the E-Barb hog decks.

I haven’t played clash Royale in a long time but I’ve watched so many of your videos because I love your style
