True Red True Blue - How To Tell Which You Are

Information is correct as of 9/21/23; it is possible future balances will remove some of these methods.
While I spent a long time thinking of a complete list of TRTB identification methods and how they could be achieved without opponent intervention, I must have overlooked some. If you find one I failed to include, please comment it below. Let me know if you have any suggestions or topics you would like me to cover in another video.
Credit to Jewel for finding the Miner method, and the Bats method which inspired me to find the Skeleton Army one. (I found methods 1,7,8,10,12,13,15,16,17,18,19,20 & 21).

[@ValkyRiver]

True Blue sees the arena (X/Y plane) as it actually is. True Red sees the arena rotated 180 degrees. These interaction differences were likely caused by rounding of fractional X/Y values.

[@ghost_ship_supreme]

This explains a lot, and I always suspected this was the case, but I didn’t realize there was a way to tell. Makes a lot of weird interactions make sense now though

[@illusioncat556]

I think you could really get big if you keep up on this educational kind of Clash Royale content because that niche is really missing in the community. A channel dedicated to techs and educating the player base on dmg numbers and card interactions. Like how Gratz(Despite how weird he is for interacting with minors)filled in the video documentary niche in the community.

[@-Milo]

Thanks man, comments like this motivate me more than you might think. I hope I can fill that gap!

[@byeudhllau1442]

​@@-MiloWhen i summon the bats on the 2nd left behind the king's tower, sometimes a bat goes to the right and sometimes it doesn't. is this about the real red,blue thing?

[@-Milo]

@@byeudhllau1442 exactly. I can’t remember which is which but on one of the true red true blue position u put it on left side of king, on the other right side of king. If you figure it out report back to me, otherwise I might have to do some testing in a bit

[@lirich0]

This is awesome, I would recommend being a little more fast paced and reducing repetition I.e.barbarian hit and furnace and such should be grouped and mentioned together as one type of difference as they act the same

[@-Milo]

Appreciate the constructive criticism a lot! It actually helps me improve.

[@lirich0]

no problem!@@-Milo one more thing is for intros I might recommend having a bit of moving video play as B-roll in the background to grab our painfully short attention spans. of course you might not want to go too far into the "grab attention" route though, its just that a still image held for long can feel disengaging

[@bfmdsm2020]

It's kinda like life, you always think you're right and tht the other is wrong, but only with the act of questioning one's own self and environment can one become aware if they're actually right.

[@igl0bruh693]

except usually there is no "true" blue and "true" red

[@blueghost312]

ok socrates

[@Victor-tw1ls]

Thats why in a debate i always deploy a tesla to see who is true right

[@devi5383]

​@@randomawesomeness2435 how old are you

[@shrekiscool4743]

It's an interesting thing that shows up in basically every 1v1 strategy game. It's a thing in btd battles too, although it doesn't change interactions to my knowledge due to the nature of the game

[@RandomBloonStuff]

I think that if both players lose at the same time, the left one wins, so there is a difference.

[@arpeggemo]

defo need a follow up video about how to take advantage of it! super cool vid

The actual "how to be red king in clash royale"

[@VSerge_]

Thank you! I know that hog riders wont target the middle building if its a 2x2 (like tesla) and placed in the middle of the arena, so this can be helpful, i just have to figure out which is true red and which is true blue for my opponent to know if hog rider does go or doesnt go for the tower when placed left/right of the arena

[@-Milo]

I always forget about that

Very interesting looking forward to how we can take advantage

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

Crusher 21 uploaded a video about this topic regarding Goblin Drill: If you play it directly in the middle of your side of the Arena, the direction the Goblins run to determines what side you are: if they run to the left, you're True Red, and if they run to the right, you're True Blue

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

Edit: Rewatched his video, and realized I had the directions swapped, so I fixed it

1 thing i will say is that there are a lot of similar ways to tell. Like you could group all the ones where a troop goes behind the princess tower together

[@eduardopelaez8631]

I’m pretty sure OJ did a video on this considering he used to do a lot of tech videos back then, shame no one here seems to know that. (I’m assuming no one knows since no one it the comment section mentioned OJ) (Your videos are still great tho Milo keep doing them)

[@MayeulVarin]

Thx

[@trashgang_]

If the game has such a thing as True Blue and True Red, I have to wonder why they don't actually let us play as Red in-game.

[@lava_suroi]

this is so cool

[@blakexe]

Interesting how this affects asymmetrical troop placements so much! I would much rather all micro interactions caused by this quirk be completely predictable regardless of your side, but for the mean time... are there any notable ones that could completely change a game? edit: Saw your miner video. I guess I should ask then, could your map orientation affect attempting to defend a goblin barrel based on some cards? I've noticed I'm always inconsistent with goblin gang barrel defense :(

[@beaub152]

I played a game back in the day where I was red and the other guy was blue, not sure if it looked swapped for him too. Another game I could only place on his side and he could only place on mine, that was weird

[@DukMan86]

These make sense except according to what? how do you know which one is true blue and the other true red?

[@Post_the_most]

Just wh is it so different? I mean I get why some interactions are mirorred but the tomstone for example...

[@micz3242]

instructions unclear. game said im true green

[@E4pi4mak]

That is so useful holy, knowing this dutchess can consistently fully counter goblin barrel with any 1 elixir unit, just tank for the goblin that will be targeted last, i was wondering why this interaction was so random

[@zinzincoetzee1934]

I dont play clash royale but I clicked anyway.

[@volkanik3070]

I'm sure goblins can also show this because they have delayed spawns

[@-Milo]

Yup, spear goblins too actually. Learned that after making this video lol. Good observation. Though I don’t think all cards with delayed spawn NECESSARILY means you can tell TRTB with it.

[@Kalikoooo]

You gotta start posting again!

[@sakabits_132]

You really need to work on your noise gate and bg music I dont play royale anymore, but otherwise, its good

[@arcdeep]

How did bro find these things out

[@Poff__]

Great idea for the video! Do you know if spectating a match changes the results of these things? (eg. Can you conclude that the perspective you are watching is true red if you see many clouds while spectating?)

[@-Milo]

Great question, when you spectate someone you’ll see the map the same as they see it. So if they are True Blue, you won’t see many shadows, and neither will the person you are spectating. (Assuming you are in the Arena it works in).

[@Poff__]

@@-Milo I saw a clip yesterday where both players were afk in a duel and true red won with 1 hp! Add that to the list of useless facts you know XD also waiting for the uses of knowing if you're true red/blue :)

[@-Milo]

@@Poff__ in a duel if both players have their lowest tower at the same health and the game ends, there will be a coin flip which randomly decides a winner.

[@Poff__]

@@-Milo oh mb

[@-Milo]

@@Poff__ no problem, appreciate your trying to teach me something. I think it might have used to be bugged in that one of the TRTB positions would always win the flip, but I know for sure it’s not true currently.

Can this also help me to find my true father?

[@BRIAN_IVERSON_20]

if your father spawns counter clockwise, he is true red

[@omranghazy8743]

Is this why sometimes 1hp firecracker hits the tower and sometimes not?

Maybe, but I’m pretty sure most of the time it’s because the firecracker had her shot loaded from a previous interaction

[@erikamarquez786]

Nothing it just means that you’re either good or bad red is bad blue is good

[@halqthedarktemplar]

some interactions may change, like the ones shown in the videos. Another thing is countering the goblin drill with a knight. iirc, if you are true blue you can fully counter it, but if you are true red the goblin will get 1 hit on the tower EDIT:there is or was something with the goblin drill about true red/blue, I cant be certain if what I wrote is exacly that or is up to date

You have to predict drill placement to not take damage if you’re true blue, but you don’t have to if you’re true red

[@-Milo]

I am not sure if thats still true, I think the goblin position spawn position was fixed

Why the whole video is so long? I think you could easily shorten the video in half by categorizing the signs at least the clock-wise troop placement. Which is a good quality change for the viewers. As Blaise Pascal said "If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter"
