I knew spawners were OP in this mode, but this. This is just insane. This is also one of the reasons why you need an offensive spell in your deck.

The Strength and Viability of Magic Archer in the Current Meta

"Not quite a Wizard, nor an Archer - he shoots a magic arrow that passes through and damages all enemies in its path. It's not a trick, it's magic!"

Being associated with the Forest Gang, he ensures that every heist is successful with his Magic Arrows and masterful archery skills. Wise and precise, nothing can get past him. The intention of this post is to create centralized discussion regarding the current state of Magic Archer, whether he needs to be changed, and the current best decks/synergies with it.

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

Stats and History

Cost	Hit Speed	Deploy Time	Range	Projectile Range	Targets	Rarity
4	1.1sec	1sec	6 tiles	11 tiles	Air & Ground	Legendary

Level	Damage	Hitpoints
9	111	490
10	122	539
11	134	592
12	147	651
13	162	715

The Magic Archer card was added to the game on 2/3/18.
On 25/4/18, a Balance Update increased the Magic Archer's projectile speed, making him less likely to miss faster moving troops.
On 5/11/18, a Balance Update made the Magic Archer's first attack much slower (0.4 secs to 0.9 secs).
On 7/1/19, a Balance Update made the Magic Archer's first attack faster (0.9 secs to 0.6 secs).
On 5/8/19, the August 2019 Update increased the Magic Archer's damage by 16% but decreased his hitspeed by 0.1 sec (from 1.0 secs to 1.1 secs).
On 7/4/20, the Balance Update decreased the Magic Archer's targeting range to 6 (from 7).

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

Discussion Questions:

What do you like/dislike about Magic Archer?
- Do you think it makes a positive/negative contribution to the meta?
- What qualities separate it from similar units in the game?
  - Card synergies? Playstyle?
- Which cards work well with Magic Archer?
- What Magic Archer decks have given you the most amount of success?
  - Off-Meta is encouraged!
Where would you rank him based on his strength and current viability in the meta?
- From Worst to Best, label your rank as one of the following: F, D, C, B, A, S, SS
  - What is your reasoning behind this rank?
  - Do you think it would be an optimal course of action to buff/nerf this card? How would you change it?

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

In addition to these questions it is suggested that you fill out this poll whether Magic Archer is best as a Niche or a Popular card in the Meta.

Magic Archer is a controversial card and has struggled to find a definitive spot in the meta ever since his debut into the arena. When he was popular in the meta he was widely perceived as being too strong. However, when he was a viable niche option, the majority of the playerbase agreed that he needed a buff.

Unfortunately with his past nerf, he is declared to be dead. The community has stated that the nerf has severely impeded much of the utility he provided (building sniping, defending from the opposite lane) while ruining his identity as one of the longest-ranged units in the game. While some players enjoy the nerf, the majority have stated that the nerf was too harsh and was not the correct course of action. Ideally this poll is a good starting point to generate discussion where Magic Archer is best fit in the meta, and what the ideal changes are to put him into a healthy spot for good.

The unbalanced game type

Posted: 18 Apr 2020 07:51 PM PDT

This is probably one of the more scuffed ideas in this sub but it's been rolling around in my head for a while so I decided to post. It is so scuffed that it could be considered a shit post. Supercell will never add this but it's a fun idea nevertheless.

Basically there would be certain available cards each one actually representing an upgraded version of the original. No art would be changed.

Note this game mode is supposed to be completely broken so please don't disregard it based on how unbalanced it is

The cards include.

Minions

Archers

Knight

Spear goblin

Goblins

Bomber

Skeletons

Barbarians

Minion horde

Bats

Fire spirits

Skeleton barrel

Royale recruits

Ice spirit

Rascals

goblin gang

Mini pekka

Musketeer

Giant

Battle ram

Royal hogs

Heal spirit

Zappies

Skeleton army

Witch

Balloon

Guards

Bowler

Goblin giant

Night witch

Ice wiz

Fisherman

Electro wizard

Zap

Royal delivery

Fireball

Goblin barrel

Barbarian barrel

Clone

Graveyard

Tesla

Mortar

Goblin hut

Tombstone

Barbarian hut

Furnace

Bomb tower

Goblin cage

X bow

Players would receive an entirely random deck with possible overlap. It order to make the game last longer than fifteen seconds tower health would have to be multiplied by ten. Every card listed would receive a significant in game buff that either relates to their ability, is in the spirit of the card, or is an upgrade on a part of the card transforming the units from one unit to another without changing the elixir cost.

Let's go from top to bottom

Minions- 3 mega minions

Archers- 2 princesses or 2 firecrackers

Knight- mega knight

Spear goblins- 3 dart goblins

Goblins- 3 goblin brawlers

Bomber- uses balloon bombs instead of normal ones

Skeletons- 3 guards, 3 wall breakers, or 3 normal bombers

Barbarians- 5 e-barbs

Minion horde- 6 mega minions

Bats - 5 minions

Fire spirits - launch a fireball at each impact.

Skeleton barrel - replaces skeletons with guards, wall breakers, or bombers

Royal recruits- 6 royal deliveries or 6 dark princes

Ice spirit- activates full freeze spell on impact

Rascals- Replace rascal boy with giant or elixir golem and rascal girls with firecrackers

Goblin gang- 3 goblin brawlers and two dart goblins

Mini pekka-pekka

Musketeer- 3musketeers

Giant-royal giant or golem

Battle ram-replace barbs with e-barbs

Royal hogs- 4 hog riders

Heal spirit-battle healer

Zappies- 3 sparkies

Skarmy- guards, wall breakers, or bombers.

Witch- spawns guards,wall breakers, or bombers

Guards- 3dark princes

Bowler- rolls barb barrels or logs instead of boulders

Goblin giant- two dart goblins on back

Night witch- spawns minions

Ice wiz- applies full freeze spells or standard ice spirits on attack

Fisherman-has a constant tornado spell on top of him

E-wiz-spawns in with lightning spell instead of zap

zap-lightning

Royal delivery-mega knight

Fireball-rocket

Goblin barrel-spawns goblin brawlers

Barb barrel-spawns e-barb or lumberjack

Clone-can clone clones

Graveyard-spawns guards, wall breakers, or bombers

Tesla-summons zap on impact

Mortar-launches standard goblin barrels

Goblin hut-spawns dart goblins

Tombstone-spawns guards, wall breakers, or bombers

Barb hut-spawns e-barbs

Furnace-spawns broken fire spirits

Bomb tower-drops bloom bombs

Goblin cage- contains broken goblin giant

X-bow-summons arrow spell on impact

Edited to make it easier to read.

TV royale idea poll

It would be nice if TV royale had separate sections for each league instead of having everyone 4000+ in the same section.

Ideas to improve TV Royale

Posted: 18 Apr 2020 02:17 PM PDT

I saw a post earlier about the idea of creating league separations for TV royale games in Legendary arena, and I liked the idea but I think TV royale needs a complete overhaul. That solution also wouldn't account for season resets where not enough players are in higher leagues. It would also make it harder to see top 200 games and it leaves out some important features I think should be in TV royale.

I believe it would be a huge improvement if TV royale showcased these 4 main categories:

Grand challenge 12-win battles - It would be nice to see what decks people are using to win GCs and it would provide some skilled gameplay.
Arenas 1-12 - Considering not many people watch lower-level gameplay and there aren't a lot of active players below legendary arena, I think it should be grouped into one big category.
Legendary arena (below top 200) - TV royale replays in legendary arena that don't have ranked players get views, but a lot less than battles between top 200 players. A lot of people only want to watch the very best players. These replays can still be interesting to watch though, so I think it should get its own category.
Top 200 - Games between top 200 players are by far the most watched replays in TV royale. This category should be a must-have.

Although they probably wouldn't get watched often, some other ideas for categories could be:

2v2
Classic challenges
War battles

It might also be interesting for there to be TV royale categories for special challenges that are happening at the time so people can find good decks for these challenges.

Another feature that might be cool would be spectating live matches on TV royale. The only problems that I could see with this is potential lag for the players and it might encourage sniping other players on top ladder (sniping is where you enter the queue with a counter-deck against someone for easy trophies - essentially rigging the matchmaking for yourself).

Let me know what you think of these ideas! Thanks.
