Simple TRICK saves EQ BOOTS after the HUGE NERF! Clash of Clans

[@EricOneHive]

Thanks to @Sneakyhippo_rob for running the EQ BOOTS calculations! Enjoy the war and see the EQ BOOTS trick at 5:03

Thanks for the timestamp. ❤🎉

Feel like radious of fireball from 6 to 5 in hard mode is absolutely fantastic, hard mode is getting harder and harder I'm ready curious what's next

[@EricOneHive]

I just hope these changes reduce the hitrates with root riders enough that pros switch to more interesting attacks

[@zoden6305]

It’s the worst balance change imo. You already have a high risk with it and now they’re making it lower reward and an even higher risk with the nerfed radius and the invis spell nerf.

[@brawlnoob7791]

I don’t notice much difference from 5 to 6 tiles I don’t know maybe once in a while you will notice

[@insane8987]

@@EricOneHive Yeah fr the only interesting part of the root rider attack is where they place the overgrowth

[@A_Wild_Momo]

7:03 Vampstache is a predetermined amount of healing per attack. In current game the only niche case for the vampstache you could try to make is if the king is moving outside the base for the entire attack and under minimal dmg so the stache allows it to never get overwhelmed. Prior to EQ boots buff, the vampstache + spikeyball combo was close to viable with a few air attacks. Its biggest issue is that it does not have synergy with most of the king equipment. Anti synergy with rage and gauntlet. With EQ shoes ur driving the king into enough dmg to overwhelm him, and barb puppet is a meme equipment. Perhaps when this buff comes out the numbers will be big enough to change something, or maybe whenever that leaked snake epic equipment for the king comes out a decent synergy for the vampstache will exist.

[@soham_paul9342]

You all know why supercell buffed vamstach ... Because in feb new epic king eq is coming and it will have a good scenergy with vamstach....

[@malsawmzela609]

Investing 2 earthquakes is way too expensive imo. I'd just run the gauntlet+rage combo or if you wanna open walls just run eq boot+gauntlet. Or still run the spiky ball just for the damage. Maybe for a maxed spiky ball, investing 1 eq spell isn't so harsh.

[@EricOneHive]

All good points. I wonder if the EQs are worth it! Maybe we will see people switching to other equipment. Also have to keep in mind that you’ll need to keep track of where your king is to put the EQ on him when you pop his ability which can be difficult in the chaos of the attack sometimes

[@acatz9462]

you know why earthquake(eq) boot has abysmal usage before then? It didnt have damage to justify it usage. The nerf on February later will revert it to the original stat. People already use eq spell to pair with spiky/eqboot and the result was terrible back then

[@acatz9462]

If spending 1-2 spells to justify it usage, it just better to not use the boot altogether. Maybe im wrong but who knows. We'll see on next month

[@ibraheem1224]

It had abysmal usage before because it's range was too short at 6 tiles. After the previous buff, now at 8 tiles of range EQ boots is still going to be very viable when it takes away 40% of hitpoints of all buildings in an 8 tile radius.

[@acatz9462]

people dont really use eq boot with other equipments except spiky ball, 40% will change nothing if the defenses still standing and relentless firing at your army to oblivion

[@Liquid_Chad]

I personally liked spikey ball giant gauntlet, i know the symmetry isnt great but from my perspective they are both very strong together I also think the vampstache "buff" was a nerf, it lowers the amount of healing the king can get

[@ManD-kz5qf]

Eric is the best clash youtober for me🎉

[@trollandroidx]

if the vamp king does become meta (or at least more viable), would the king even need the phoenix? because with how they nerfed the invis spell specifically to target the spirit fox timing, it feels like the "phoenix walk" with the RC some pros were doing before might become more prevalent

[@acatz9462]

good insight. Supersell is exactly steering us to all of what you just described. That 0.25 second time reduction is huge. Insta hit defenses like monolith/townhall/scattershit will land at least a hit to RC/fox. Tbh imo it is for the better cause since I'm getting sick of eboot spirit walk 😂

[@StevenAlabon]

The nerfs are already here? Arent it supposed to be in feb?

[@EricOneHive]

They will be here whenever we get the February update

[@fiyuhentertainment579]

I get so mad I waste all my ores that I earned on equipment just for it to get nerfed. Supercell has to make earning ores cheaper, it gets soo annoying and un motivating when they do this

[@bradleycooke9094]

Video 2: Hear me out, the barb, archer, and hog puppets should be shifted to the super troop versions (and then scaled level and # of troops) to make the puppet gear more viable.

[@jyotishmankalita6715]

Yes good suggestion though I doubt hog puppet needs to go super normal hogs are okay

[@ibraheem1224]

Hopefully the meta shifts away from root riders and dragons after the Feb update. And I think Supercell should show some love to hog riders and miners in this update. Hog rider and miner attacks have been dead since townhall 16 released and it's time to bring them back in the meta.

[@Darksinious]

I don’t have a good feeling about the upcoming hard mode meta with the fb nerf.. hope I’m wrong though

[@Chrollo-gk3oe]

They should’ve drop it down to 45% that would’ve been the sweet spot

[@RookieFry]

Imagine supercell bring troop or spell cap in hard mode🌝

[@Bad3abdul]

What are these thumbnails and titles lol You saying it like the Eq boots were killed by a nerf which only set it in place We literally still have the range just less damage

[@EricOneHive]

Exactly, and you’ll need this information to make the EQ boots get the same value as they do now after the nerf goes live. This is important and will have a big impact on everyone using them

[@Bad3abdul]

@EricOneHive ok thanks for clarifying I just don't want to see your video flooded with the comments like "nerfed to the ground" or "dead" because those who say that want free value

[@malsawmzela609]

Because before paired with lvl 18 and above spiky ball, it destroys every defences except merged cannon. That was why the combo was so strong. If it doesn't do that anymore, there is really no reason to stick to the combo. It is a huge fkin nerf lol.

[@Bad3abdul]

@@malsawmzela609 exactly "paired with level 18"

[@malsawmzela609]

@@Bad3abdul lvl 21 doesn't increase spiky ball damage. With the nerf, 24 won't work either. And even with 27 boot, you'll need an additional earthquake spell. So yes it is a hugee nerf.

Just Woke up and watching your video.😅 Watching from Kashmir
