Dark prince is my favorite card.

[@MiningPro41]

Dark prince is pretty cool and has an interesting playstyle

[@davhardie2356]

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 5 HOUR LARRY VIDEO!

[@kanaxaufxanax490]

Dark Prince is such a fun card and has one of the best designs in the game. Clear strengths and weaknesses and just insanely fun to play with. I actually didn’t use the dark prince much in the beginning, but after some years, the card grew on me.

[@user-it8re8jv2l]

My favorite card

[@mt2r-music]

DP is such a fun card and well designed card. They literally just took a existing troop and made another variation but it still serves a unique roll, just like they did with the mini PEKKA. And apparently it works.

[@arcto2]

agreed:)

[@kirillstricke1387]

they did him so dirty in clash a rama

[@bobuxsniffer6956]

0:23 YO DARK PRINCE YOU'RE COMIN-

xddd

[@ariusjayadi2254]

Perfect cut

[@ilovepenguins2579]

Ahh yess, the Electro Wizard Spell 💀💀💀 32:32

[@arcto2]

oh god my bad💀💀

[@saltysheev5502]

Hey small comment on the math for the first damage buff: if dark prince was first buffed for 8% damage and then later that number gets improved by 7.5% the total compared to pre-buff dark prince is not 15.5 but instead 1.08*1.075= 1.0161 or 16.1% increased damage compared to pre buff since the second buff gets applied not only to the original damage but also the extra damage provided by the first buff. Great video overall!

[@arcto2]

Thank you so much! You're right, 100%!:)

[@Kukkizu]

ive been maining dark prince in my deck since 2018 😮‍💨 NEVER FORGOTTEN

[@aBean_y]

32:35 “the only cards with higher usage than the dark prince were spells!” Electro Wizard: am I a joke to you?

[@pyaewax2363]

Thank you man. This is my favorite card of all time from the time I start playing.

[@arcto2]

I thank you for watching!:)

[@TheDarkPrinceR34-rn3op]

That's a great video, ARCTO. I love it very much ! Dark Prince is my favorite card, I use it in 100% of my matches since I unlocked him in the end of 2017.

[@arcto2]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, really!:)

[@SrVerataro]

I still remember, i was in highschool when the Dark Prince dropped, i remember double prince decks being so dominant that We The Council, decided to perform checks in everyone's decks and outright ban the use of both princes in a single deck in the whole class, this eventually caught up with the whole school... Good days...

[@xman143]

I cannot believe you only have 8k subscribers The dedication, detail, and entertainment of these videos is way too high for such a low number!

[@gogzog]

History of histroy of clash royale is gonna be fire

[@jackattack7521]

Beautiful video brother, I was a Gratz viewer until I found this, I’ve grown as a human being. Thank you for this insightful video on my favorite card. Very cinematic and incredibly enjoyable, you have a new subscriber and a new member of the discord server!💪❤️

[@arcto2]

thank you so much bro!:) I really appreciate you:)

[@Kingluke69]

Great video!Keep up The good work!

[@CheweyRocco]

ive always been a huge fan of double prince decks, i would love to see a comeback

[@keeganator2000]

dark prince is one of those cards that has pretty much been useful for so long and yet isn't hated at all. just a good card that is well designed and fun to use. one of my favorite cards

[@christianhernandez9623]

Love seeing these vids, good story telling

[@cruiser332]

I havent seen anything about this game for years. KZbin recommends me this and its so high quality wtf! I remember when I downloaded the canada apk on my bad old phone to play Clash Royale months earlier and I still have that account xD

[@GamesGuy1]

Another Amazing Video I Waited for this!

[@arcto2]

More to come!

[@roskhim1110]

Love ur videos... 👇 Who saw this before 1 hour mark

[@arcto2]

Thank you!:)

[@petoryeah]

ew like beggar

[@JansonisDEAD]

4:54 As Malaysian, I approve the Dark prince being “The Prince of Evil”

[@maneuver2792]

Woah, another banger documentary about Clash Royale? Thanks for this, as I feel reluctant to watch Gratz again after knowing his "allegations" 😭 Earned a sub, keep up the good work ‼️

[@arcto2]

thank you!:)

[@chazmonk64]

History on my favorite card. Nice

[@whoareqm]

the video is great, but it seems to me that you should comment less on the matches, and choose 15-30 seconds where the card shows itself well and analyze them.

[@arcto2]

Got ya, thank you!

[@ironwolf5019]

Ever since DP could jump over the river should have been a thing for a while, plus I love the images used for DP

[@FezzUG]

Bro sick video, what mic are you using or how are you editing audio?

[@GabGooDGG]

These videos are so good man

[@arcto2]

thank you!:)

[@Vimek_Xol]

I like your videos! This and the firecracker were well done. If I were to offer a constructive critique, though, I would like a more in-depth analysis of the implications of balance changes. For instance, at 38:55, you talk about the DP's 3% hp buff. You say the he exploded in popularity. But you don't necessarily cover why. Did a fundamental interaction change, like surviving Fireball? Another hit from PEKKA if PEKKA was meta? If nothing changed, even an mention that this was a pseudo buff would be nice, and just put the card in people's radar. You do a great job of showing its usage between buffs by the portion of its pressence in top ladder between buffs, but know more about the balance changes around a card would be nice too. You also don't show how MUCH the popularity exploded. Maybe consider offering percentages, like say DP's presence went from X% pre-buff to Y% post-buff. And when you're talking about the presence of DP, maybe point out why he was popular/unpopular depending on the meta game around him, like if tanks countered him or swarm was a feast for him. You actually did this well with the 2.6 Xbow segment! I just appreciate knowing the hard evidence like statistics (such as how you bring DP being the most played card!) and reasonings for a card's drastic resurgence or irrelevance. Keep up the great work though!

[@daevilwon4428]

Keep it up and don’t be a gratz then I might start watching this channel

[@maxwellboop]

Sheesh, this reminded me when I started playing clash royale in 2017 with giant skeleton and dark prince, and I quit the game twice and returned for the 3rd time just a year ago and still using those two goobers, but on a fun deck I made called shield clone deck, they can't use a spell to kill them and they need to use more stuff or arrows

[@chickenman1142]

Dark Prince has always been smoking that Prince spliffy since day 1

[@pinkguycomments69]

I really liked him in 3M Pump deck I played back in 2019, if his evo comes out in this year, it will be the only time I ever buy the diamond pass in this game

[@eye-saacthegalaxyeye4567]

I think the evo dark prince will come at some point

[@yodouu1024]

Most skillful, reliable and game-changing card in the game. Can do everything push, defend, say it.

[@Tomas-gc2sn]

Your content is so cool. Keep it up bro

[@arcto2]

Thank you Tomas!:)

[@Vutdahail321]

DARK PRINCE WOOOHOOOO at one point he was my win condition because of the splash making it real difficult to get it off the tower 😂

[@memenazi7078]

I believe his charge attack is bigger than his normal attack as well.

[@crypticsamurai2748]

EVERY SINGLE DECK i make has dark prince, he is just a great card to have, even being a win condition when played right

[@DarkGreenProductions]

he cooked with thumbnail 🔥🔥

[@Ne_Ne_Vova_UA]

2:13 crazy dave cuz he wears a bucket on his head so zombies can't eat his brains

[@LeonDawoud-sy2pk]

i maxed out my dark prince, its my favorite card❤. its so good for 4 elixir, it can block a whole sparky shot and a pekka shot with its shield, it charges and does so much dps, and it does splash??? what more could u ask for???

[@dizzydwarf5052]

glad to have a alternative to gratz

[@lazarade8480]

I still use dark prince to this day in my recruits deck

[@bobc821]

I hate these "First" comments

[@konradlangmann3226]

ARCTO your character looks like ice shen skin from lol

[@unaffectedbycardeffects9152]

10:04 it would be a buff of 16.1%, not 15.5. The second buff would be on top of the first, so +7.5% of 108% of the original.

[@arcto2]

true! thank you!:)

I've used dark Prince since the day I got him

[@arcto2]

awesome!

[@zaidhernandez4601]

The Prince that is dark

[@Chilli_bean]

I want to point out that dark prince nowadays is a mid ladder manace,mid ladder has either: Witch+wizard combo Double prince Double prince+witch+wizard He is just horrible to deal with, high splash damage so even barberians stood no chance,and goblins who fairly nice counter regular prince are nothing to dark prince,and this mf has a shield AND can charge!!?? Truly something mid ladder players don't want to face against although mega minion is very strong against him and zap can stop his charge so there is a counterplay

[@alexandrudavid8198]

Yo, can you do the history of Royal recruits?

Of course!

What do you mean by "not Gratz"? What is missing in my videos? So I can improve.

[@Spluub]

@@arcto2 Oh I didn't mean anything is wrong with the video, in fact I watched all the way through and enjoyed it. I was just pointing out another youtuber named "Gratz" makes similar CR card history videos as you.
