    Season 8 Balance Changes - Going Live on Feb 4th

    SEASON 8 BALANCE CHANGES!

    This Season we take a look at the infamous Zappies - a card that has been the center of balance discussion since it faded out of the meta.

    ---

    ZAPPIES

    • Damage: +20%
    • Hit Speed: 1.6s -> 2.0s (25% slower)
    • Faster 'First Attack' on target: 1.4sec -> 1sec
    • Staggered Deploy Time: 0.15sec (like Goblin Gang, Minion Horde)

    WHY?

    Zappies is a tough design to balance – while they are fragile and low damage, they had the ability to stunlock enemies unless they could be dealt with. We want you to be able to play your cards, so having other cards that shut down interaction is a no-no. When Zappies were competitively viable before, the meta became overly defensive and difficult to break through.

    HOW?

    Ultimately, the stun-locking is the biggest problem with Zappies so it made the most sense to reduce its effectiveness. By reducing the hit speed (and increasing the damage), Zappies remain about the same DPS-wise, but won't lock out enemies permanently. In exchange, Zappies get a faster first attack, enabling them to block charging Princes and other fast-moving targets before they close the gap.

    ---

    BARBARIAN HUT

    • Building Lifetime: Reduced 60sec -> 50s
    • Spawn Time: Reduced 13.5s -> 12.5s
    • Now spawns 2 Barbarians when destroyed

    WHY?

    Since Barbarians were reworked months ago, each individual Barbarian is weaker than before. This led Barbarian Hut to be much lower value for the cost, so we sought ways to make Barbarian Hut worth the big investment, without making it an overly powerful defensive building.

    HOW?

    Despite the reduced lifetime, Barbarian Hut will spawn the same number of total Barbarians (10). The last wave will come when the building dies, making the Hut a bit more spell-resistant and consistent against Giants and Golems. The slightly faster spawns will allow waves to build up more, making Barb Hut better at creating offensive meat shields to tie up enemy towers.

    ---

    ROYAL HOGS

    • Damage: +6%

    WHY?

    Royal Hogs haven't found their place in the meta. On ladder, they struggle against Wizards and Valkyries. In challenges, they bump into Mega Knights and Bomb Tower. Overall, they didn't usually provide a good reward for the cost/risk.

    HOW?

    A simple damage increase is appropriate here – we want to raise the 'reward' half of the risk/reward trade to make Royal Hogs a bit more threatening in the face of so many effective defenses.

    ---

    WITCH

    Faster 'First Attack' on target: 1.0sec -> 0.7sec

    WHY?

    A few months back, we nerfed several very powerful cards. Among them were Witch, where we reduced her first-hit and spawning speed. In combination, this was a bit too much. Witch struggles to get off attacks with a long charge-up time, often getting stuck on Skeleton Army or other fragile troops.

    HOW?

    We are increasing her first hit time, allowing Witch to provide the ranged support she is meant to provide.

    The Community's Turn 2/2/2020: Revitalizing Clash Royale

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 08:25 PM PST

    Topic: Recognizing the Community For Their Input Regarding a Dire Topic

    It is without a doubt that there has been a huge uproar regarding the lackluster Season 8 offers, which ultimately resulted in many questions regarding the dev team's motives. This is especially concerning considering SC has given very little information of what is to come in the next major update, let alone any indication when it may be announced. I feel like having a post like this is necessary to clearly offer them the community's perspective regarding the current state of the game. With that said, it is YOUR turn to have your voice heard and give your hard-earned work the recognition it genuinely deserves! Of course, there are rules that must be laid out to encourage reddiquette and good conduct. They are the following:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rules/Recommendations:

    • Your post must be in the vision relevant to the subject matter, which is setting Clash Royale on the right foot to succeed long-term.
    • Please label your post as an "[Effort Post]" so it can be distinguishable
    • With that said, you post must be loaded with detail and explanation so it accurately represent your passion for the game.
    • It is advised that you are optimistic and encouraging in your tone.
      • If not, elaborate on your negative outlook and your dissent so others can relate and contribute to discussion.
    • Please be unique and original in your approach/s
      • Along with the general issues that obviously must be stated think about and elaborate on an idea that you think should implemented and how it would help long-term
      • Get inspired by other games and how they succeed!

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Obeying these guidelines AND going the extra mile WILL guarantee you an award. Exemplary posts that best demonstrate the nature of this post WILL be given the Platinum Award and merit a sticky to the top of the subreddit for a week!

    For inspiration, here are some influential posts that I deem as Platinum-worthy:

    Season 8 Balances in Action!

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 07:21 AM PST

    The new season honestly seems like SuperCell has run out of ideas and has nothing new to offer to the game. The fact that the Clash community gets SO excited for balance changes shows how we are scrapping for content. Literally any content.

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 05:34 AM PST

    Do you guys remember when SuperCell updated the game for April Fools to allow tombstones to spawn giant skeletons, Xbows shoot your own towers, and mortar to shoot goblin barrel?

    Or what about the time that they added a platformer as a hidden minigame

    I've seen that multiple YouTubers have been discussing the state of the game, talking about the lack of content updates that add real variety to the game. Yes a new card like the firecracker is fun, it is. But how about something that actually adds variety to the gameplay experience?

    CWA made an amazing video discussing the state of the game with Molt and SirTag.. Them riffing off ideas got me more excited for the game than anything SuperCell has anounced in a long time. How about a Boss Rush game mode where your entire clan takes turns chipping away at a boss's health. Or a mode where you have to play the perfect defence defending a 20 elixir push with 8 elixir. Or just some small and silly things like I mentioned above. I feel like we're scrapping for content here.

    Edit: The most exciting thing coming to this game is an unknown, unannounced content update that we're all predicting and hoping will come soon, hopefully? That's not a good thing. That clearly shows that we've been lacking content.

    Why is supercell obsessed with the ram rider?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 02:20 PM PST

    So for the log themed season, the ram rider will be receiving a card boost. Why not the log? RR will also be getting it's 4th emote. I don't hate the ram rider but supercell obsessively features it in trailers and cover art. Can the other cards get some attention and maybe an emote.

    Balance Changes February 2020 Season 8

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 05:03 AM PST

    PLEASE HELP

    Posted: 01 Feb 2020 06:05 AM PST

    Please fix my account. I attempted to purchase a $19.99 offer. The app got stuck in "purchase pending". The money was removed from my credit card, but I never received the items. I contacted support via the in app "Conversation" who advised they could "not help me" & I needed to contact Apple to resolve. I contacted Apple who said all they could do was refund the $19.99, which they did. Then I get a message in app that all kinds of resources had been removed (resulting in my resources going into the negative) because I requested a refund. However, the resources that were removed were associated with a prior, entirely unrelated, purchase. I had never received the resources that I requested the refund for so nothing should have been removed. Since resources that I did pay for and receive were removed, technically those purchases should be refunded also if they cannot be reinstated in the game. I have sent photos & documentation of everything via in app "Conversation". In app support advised they "could not help me", which is mind blowing since that's their entire job, and now all of my messages are being ignored. To top it all off, my app is still stuck in "purchase pending".

    Who in their right minds thinks the Ram Rider was the perfect choice for the Season Card Boost? Like why not the Log?
