The Elixir Pump is NERFED in Clash Royale

In the upcoming Clash Royale balance changes the elixir pump is getting a big nerf. The elixir pump right now is in many of the best decks in Clash Royale. It is so helpful because it allows players to have almost infinite elixir on big pushes in crucial parts of the game. Most of the best players in Clash Royale are using it because of how big of an advantage it gives the player using it.

We lived in strange period of time where a card that used to be irrelavant gets a nerf...

[@fulltiltgaming]

The pump is kind of insane right now with all of the giant/goblin giant/golem decks there are running around. Obviously the dagger dutchess has something to do with this, but there is no denying how strong it is.

[@planteruines5619]

​@@fulltiltgamingthay should make the health nerf of the duchess a bit less severe like 2830 health and also make the throwing time slower from 0.35 to 0.4 so miner can get the three hit , becoming once again a counter to pump even if the opponent has duchess

[@AvidYTuser]

@@fulltiltgaming I guess you were right, seeing how the duchess changed the playstyle of the majority of players into heavier and beatdown style decks, having an elixir advantage could help a lot at building pushes to overwhelm the duchess to potentially win the game. But seeing this nerf from a pre-duchess launch prespective just feels odd and strange to me, moreover the fact that I have so experience using the pump and never feeling the effects it contributes to the match since i've rarely seen them in lower ladder...

[@mohamdlftat5207]

​@@planteruines5619hell nah dagger duches is still going to be broken she needs another nerf

[@georgecrowcroft9260]

​@@fulltiltgamingso nerf the dagger Duchess and see what happens to pump afterwards. If it still needs a nerf, nerf it then - it makes no sense to kill a card that was gonna die as soon as duchess is nerfed anyway.

Im actually surprised by these balance changes being so good

[@matteopari4168]

I think this may be a sneaky buff. Sure it will give elixir less quickly but it will have better elixir trades on spells, so it will overall give more value overtime

[@wildmischief]

The elixir value from spells doesn't actually change. It still generates 8 total elixir, and spell damage still reduces the same % of HP. The only difference is how much longer it's on the map

Hmm? No, the giant skeleton isn't meta at all, good card? Yes, meta? Lol no, the meta is cheap spam cycle decks or a hybrid version of cheap spam cycle deck, basically just spam cards and you win, plus it's the reason why giant skeleton got a buff before due to it not doing well at all, but they didn't go overboard with the buff because hybrid cheap spam cycle players would use hog GS again

@@darkwarriorgaming9026 Are you drunk or something? I didn't say anything about that, I said because you said cheap spam cycle decks are last month like it's a trend when for the last 3 years that was the meta to the point CRL was just cheap spam cycle decks, didn't say anything about beatdown not being overly used... So just make proof reading a bit, plus what about beatdown being over used? Weren't cheap spam cycle decks being over used for the last 3 years? Or we play bais? Like we just got a replacement, one bad deck for another... So nothing changed, but at least beatdown decks have a lot of counters, unlike cheap spam cycle decks, poison or another cheap spam cycle deck, plus you know your deck is OP when the only counter to your deck is another deck with the same gimmick

[@henrydawson584]

Just in case you guys haven’t figured it out yet they release the evolutions and tower troops OP as fuck to force people to buy them before they give it a nerf. Just save your money and wait for the nerf or play another game with less predatory monetization

The thing is that this means that you can just stack up more at the same time

Exactly my thought so now spells will be used on them meaning negative trade 😂😂

I don't think it deserves a nerf, I don't even play it. Basically any deck that uses pump is dead to my miner lavaloon deck 😂😂😂

[@caralho5237]

They really need to nerf 1 elixir cards

[@java_sucks]

The thing is, the only card in the game where you can actually make investment with your elixir is the pump. Except the spawners and goblin cage, which are mostly useless on offense.

[@ValkyRiver]

Idea: what would be mirror be like if it summoned troops +1 level at +0.5 elixir

[@MessitheKingandgoat]

Noooo not my pump

[@vincenthaynes3603]

Hot Take: all low skill cards need a High Skill rework

[@CosmicBRWNY]

I play exilir pump with golem rn, and it is no skill. Once I get 2 healers down in overtime, there's no stopping the push. The deck is golem, pump, Evo firecracker, skeleton king(who ill sub for night witch once I get her) bats, e dragon, tornado, and arrows. It is very strong even when you only have 1 pump down in single exilir

[@zeke3620]

Do you think this nerf will have a big impact on pumpbow?

[@joshuadugger3657]

....so the bug problem with this nerf...is you get an ABSOLUTE loss when somone fireballs it. Witch means it won't hit a pump boost before dying anymore. Witch for non beat down decks was a good thing...lasting long will only super punish people who don't backrow spell it

[@sugarybomber2081]

Pump honeslty should just be removed. It was made at a time where the devs didnt know what clash royale would become. Its card that just doesnt fit into the game and whenever its good it just causes problems. This along side mirror should be removed from the game.

[@MunsterMo]

I hope this will calm down beat down players because I’m gonna be honest I hate fighting beat down players and I’m kind of sick of it

[@ResInfest]

you know how to play any different deck besides rg, giant, and golem

[@crongusclips7836]

I thought most pro players saw the elixir pump as a meme card apart from a couple decks and metas

[@BlackNWhiteProductions]

New card idea: The Airship Elixir cost: 6 Rarity: Epic It's an air card that has twice the speed of the balloon but deals only 1/3 of the damage. It would also have slightly more health. Its main counter would be any sort of air defense. 2 more unique perks, it drops 2 goblins and 5 skeletons creating a massive push once destroyed however no death damage and can attack from a 2, 3 or possibly 4 tile range allowing it to attack not as close to the tower.

[@grandmasteryoda6378]

Not bad but it sounds a little powerful imo. Just imagine it with lava hound. The extra speed plus the lava hound tanking would be extremely powerful.

[@BlackNWhiteProductions]

@@grandmasteryoda6378 What if I made it target any card? That may balance it out

[@jamesa2482]

Hot take: wager matches should be added to the game but obviously with a cap on how much you can bet. If the currency won’t work with supercell being stingy, maybe betting cards 🤷‍♂️. So if you loose your opponent takes the card you bet

[@dannywoo3535]

Buff the Mega Minion to 1.4 hit speed or a slight damage buff

[@mattb.5749]

Imo a really nice nerf for handling e-golem decks

[@jacksonpowell6598]

I seem to recall pre phoenix it was one of the worst cards…

[@firedogex]

After nerfing the evos, here they go nerfing the pump again.

[@UrBrehMoment]

I feel bad for people who make their own decks and were using elixir pump in one of them, because now even though they were being original and not anything meta- they're the one's who are suffering. Becauase I guarantee this won't effect any meta decks involving the elixir pump, mainly because it wasn't really in the meta 😅. I don't know, maybe they should've nerfed a card that needed the nerf, but thats just my opinion.

[@tal-369]

Day 5: ew clash card idea: The Reaper. It’s a champion that has a scythe that deals high damage in two swipes but as a high cool down time. It takes 3 elixir to deploy. It’s champion ability is it can go invisible like the ghost for a cost of 3 elixir but doesn’t come visible until you use the power up button for another 3 elixir. It won’t attack anything OR it reaches a tower until you make it visible again allowing for you to decide what it attacks. It has a pretty low health but can barely survive any spell on that is 4 elixir or less. What do you think?

[@tomandjerrysolo8633]

Haveing the power to change the likes from 6.899 to 6.900 is insane

[@user__Fayaz]

I will not understand why supercell thought reworking evo firecracker snd evo archer is a good idea cux they are actually balanced tbh

[@theguitarist1703]

Good nerf, but honestly pump needs a rework imo, a very hard to balance card in its current state. But make no mistake, the reason pump is so strong is only bc beatdown is strong which is only bc dagger duchess counter practically every other archetype simply bc small pushes and chip damage don’t work.

[@rivetingdisc2398]

Rise of rage pump

[@hanifameen4056]

I still have no idea how the pump works. You invest 6 elixir and get about 6 elixir back but somehow you gain a big advantage if left untouched.

[@OO-nn3ny]

You get 8 in total back if left untouched, for a +2 elixir in profit. Basically, as you place pumps down, you eventually gain more and more elixir advantage over your opponent(which eventually result in like 20 or 30 elixir pushes).

[@hanifameen4056]

@OO-nn3ny even 2-4 elixir after 2 pumps isn't much. But somehow and I'm totally aware there's nothing fishy going on their the pumping opponent has some unstoppable pushes. I mean you could defend anything he puts after the pump for a positive elixir trade and still get overloaded in the end. Its just insane.

[@OO-nn3ny]

@@hanifameen4056 Elixer pump basically allow you to bank elixir for when the you actually want to push. An elixer pump is basically saying hey instead of using 6 elixir now, I'll have extra elixirs for the next push(when I'm ready). And this elixer banking on top of elixir advantage from pumps earlier in the match basically is what makes beat-down pushes feel overwhelming.

[@hanifameen4056]

@@OO-nn3ny that elixir banking makes sense. Appreciate it.

I Play Now for 3 years Golem pump and ik very many Decks with this Combination since the Rework of the Pump in 2022 and for me the Pump is Just strong at the Moment BC Beatdown IS Meta and if the Dagger Duchess become her Nerf, Cycle will be better and before Beatdown was Meta, Pump was an Ballanced Card so i think she isnt OP and needs the Nerf

[@maxwellboop]

No, they are good, even tho I hate how very good they are but I understand why, because they can't hit the tower and they are a defensive building, but they aren't underrated, they just can't compete in top ladder or ultimate champions due to 80% of players there are using cheap spam cycle decks or a hybrid version of cheap spam cycle deck, so the only buildings that work are Tesla and cannon as they are cheap and the Tesla is small and has a Evo... Bomb tower and inferno are good against beatdown but you rarely see one in high levels of play, but now due to the duchess, they are in use, but after the nerf, you see them drop in use

[@Prod_Venny]

pump only good cuz of new tower troop and same with giant.why you think they didn't nerf giant and night witch? it's because cards are only good to fight against the new tower troop. If it was really that good, why hasn't it had a 20%+ use rate prior to the dutches? it has the potential to be a good card and somehow 3m never got benefited despite the pump being good in the current meta. strange isn't it?

[@maxwellboop]

I agree, basically beatdown decks is no skill is the same as how cheap spam cycle decks they all just place stuff on the exact same place and just dump troops both are no skill but at least the beatdown decks are fun... Also fun fact, if you see someone complain about poison and want a nerf, know that they are a cheap spam cycle player as poison is the only counter for them due to them placing the Same cards on the same spots for the next 5 minutes and never try to adapt

[@wildmischief]

Not necessarily true. Poison Chip is extremely strong IN CYCLE, such as Miner/Poison, and Beatdown being "fun" is subjective. Personally I prefer a Meta with diversity. A bit of Cycle, a bit of Beatdown, and a bit of everything else

[@maxwellboop]

@@wildmischief .... You do know poison cycle is not being used because it's not worth to do it as it keeps you open for other cycles deck players, that's why it's all troops and 2 or 1 small spell and a rocket or fire ball, then hog rider and then anything that is spammable and can stall, and reason why beatdown is fun is due to it acting like an RTS for a moment with spells as support, in cheap spam cycle decks, you place the exact same cards on the exact same spot for the next 5 mins, that's why poison works very well against cheap spam cycle decks as they never try to adapt and still continue placing the cards Into the poison, like what? And those that do place it out of the poison just place it at the centre of your push and get murdered... Like you have space... Use it.. and this is why beatdown is fun and people use it even after losing a lot of games with it, because it's fun, and what you would pick? An RTS like push? Or just playing on loop without any changes?

[@wildmischief]

@@maxwellboop Poison Cycle isn't being used because Miner is insta-killed by the Dagger Duchess, and Miner/Poison Cycle is the way that deck wins games. Nothing to do with it being bad in general, it's just bad against DD

[@maxwellboop]

@@wildmischief no, before even thee duchess came out miner poison is getting used less and less for cheap spam cycle decks as basically everyone in CRL is using that and people seeing it's easy to play, so why not, and some show that cheap spam cycle decks can do well against poison miner control, and with the duchess, it's worse now
