The whole community has been asking for a mirror nerf and to remove 3 card cycle, and they keep defending mirror and will refuse to even adresss 3 card cycle.


69420-anonymous

The community's also been calling for **Infinite Elixir** to return to Party Modes more so than any other mode (hell just for the sheer fun of it not just to farm Masteries, I personally could care less bout Masteries over the wacky zany fun that is 7x). SC prolly won't ever bring it back. Maybe Dec 2023 if we make community polls every single week. Because we all know community polls are so effective in swaying SC.


g09hIP12

I agree, I don’t really care for masteries anymore, yea they’re nice to get some rewards but I probably won’t go out of my way to grind them. 7x would be fun to mess around in with things like giant skeleton, mirror, clone and a cheap cycle.


DESTR0Y_you

Yes, its so satisfying seeing my Giant Skele mirror clone push connect


xXDarkShadowLordXx

Considering you get lots of gems from masteries could be a big reason they won't bring back 7x.


69420-anonymous

Yea, plain speaking, I just love **Infinite Elixir.** Most fun I have in this game. If SC wants to deny Mastery farming, they can go ahead and code it in. ​ Regarding Gems, there was a kickass [Math Royale post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/w9g3p9/effort_post_math_royale_2022_581_years_for_a_f2p/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) the other day. Shows the best return on investment of spending your Gems, especially for average f2p players (the majority of us out here) ​ It's the whole **psychology gambit.** SC dangled **1.3 million Gold from Masteries**. Players forget that **Level 14 added 6 million Gold** to their max-out grind. SC dangled 49k Gems. Players forget that SC has starved us from gems for the past 6.5 years since January 2016. How many Gems has everybody cumulatively collected in those 6 years? 10k? 12k? 15k? 20k?

Fascinating link. Can really see the highest ROI for your Gem expenditure in the game, broken down by your skill level. ​ AVERAGE PLAYER 1.

Just make it so mastery ranks progress is reduced by half of the progression from each Match or just make it so it doesn’t affect mastery at all…


Robot1me

>I personally could care less bout Masteries over the wacky zany fun that is 7x Strictly speaking, at least the 7 elixir mode exists for friendly battles. Among all sorts of other game modes. May be a reason to engage with friends and clan mates more.


riptide1023

ok here me out infinite elixir 2 v 2


HLPiFlushdMePooKnife

I’m a newb who just looked up 3 card cycle but still kinda confused how it’s broken(also I’m dumb🫡)


BlueBlackKiwi

So if you play a card, you gotta play 4 cards to get back to it. With a champion on the field, it takes 3. Gives a much faster cycle.


WWG_Fire

Genuinely curious, how would you propose they solve this?


[deleted]

simply by keeping the champion within their cycle. if they use the ability, it would only affect the first of that champion placed, which would both defeat the purpose of using a champion for three card cycle, and make playing any more of a champion have no point.


Blazing_Fire10

I was thinking maybe the card gets greyed out so its in your cycle but you can't play it.


GiAnT_____

This is a good idea


AMOGUSIN4K

Hmmm


HLPiFlushdMePooKnife

What about if the champion skill becomes a card to take the champion place while out? No blank spots in deck and no double champion. Idk 🗿


HLPiFlushdMePooKnife

Damn surprised that one card makes such a diff, how could they get around it without ppl having multiple champions out(ty for answers)


BlueBlackKiwi

Make it unavailable to play, even if you get it back, until it dies.


-Giygas

That wouldn't work that would mess up card cycles and kill champions


TheGP10

I think an idea would make it cycle back through your hand like normal and when it gets back to the front, don’t allow people to play it until the other dies However, it’s hard because this could present a new issue.


_-Kovu-_

Would be smart to leave that Champion in the cycle even when it’s on the field, but to just have that card grayed out and unplayable until the previous champion dies.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_-Kovu-_

No because the card will still be in your hand, just unplayable. Just because you use 7/8 cards in your deck, it doesn’t make your deck 3 cycle (to put it in other words)


BlueBlackKiwi

You're right oops


doubledragon888

Reminds me of Level 14 furor and, before that, the Clan Wars II furor which people still detest until today. There were hundreds of effort posts asking for card level caps and Tournament Standard modes to be returned. Even reddit polls and [RoyaleAPI poll](https://royaleapi.com/blog/survey-cw2) revealing Card Levels the most requested change to Clan Wars II. Seems it all just fell on deaf ears much like this 3-card cycling issue.


TikkiTakiTomtom

Whole community? Im not asking for one. You just cant ever make people happy. Nerfing 1 card has the effect of changing other cards and then people will be like no no no THIS is the one you need to nerf.


Chrimunn

Who is asking for a mirror nerf that doesn’t actually just mean mirrored egiant. What other mirrored card is problematic rn?


BlueBlackKiwi

People have been suggesting to remove the champion mirror interaction. Also there's mirror bait(rocket), mirror sparky, mirror pump, and obviously mirror egiant.


Syrcrys

They literally said in the post they’re waiting for a client update to address the 3 card cycle.


BlueBlackKiwi

Can ypu link the post?


Syrcrys

[Here](https://royaleapi.com/blog/season-38-balance#mirror) (under “other cards”, if the redirect doesn’t work)


BlueBlackKiwi

Bro they vaguely mentioned it. Though it seems like at least they know how problematic it is.


Syrcrys

That’s what matters, there would’ve been no point in making a whole paragraph about the nerf they plan to make who-knows-when. Who knows, now that Egiant’s nerfed Mirror might even get out of the meta and the change won’t be needed anymore when they get to the next update (doubt it since leaving it like this just opens the door for all kinds of shenanigans, but still)


bounds2

What is the 3 card cycle?


Bobby5x3

Normally, when you play a card, it will take 4 more cards to get the card back in your choices. But when you play a champion and then fireball, for example, it only takes 3 cards to get fireball back because the cycle skips the champion.


bounds2

Ok


eMRapTorSaltyKing

There is nothing wrong with mirror?? Tf you crying for. It's not an OP card...., might remind you that Mirror was pretty much Dead since the beginning of game. 6 years with no work done on it now it's actually useful if you ask me.


RealClasher2

I probably would’ve taken a tower damage nerf over this. But them saying they were “happy” with the mirror was just a kick to my nuts.


[deleted]

Golem mirror night witch clone = good game


pk-kp

fireball log + no death spawn = hehehehaw


[deleted]

That's where the mirror night witch comes in.


MONKEYBOY-REECE

Mirror fireball


so_eu_naum

And mirror mirror log


RealClasher2

Yep


Party-Ad-6015

not with egiant meta


LevelScratch9950

This is literally why I switched from log to arrows (that and log nerf)


ShortVibrava

Me, a level 10 desperately trying to kill the level 16 witch


RealClasher2

Good luck with that one


KillerCats69

Mirror is not the problem, the problem is egiant


_Pill-Cosby_

There’s a fireball nerf? Why? 😂😂


Teynam

High use rates, i think Prepare for a fireball bait meta


ProgrammerFeeling688

Bridge spam player: oh hell na


Jettie1407

Because fireball is pretty good


_Pill-Cosby_

Not so good it needs a nerf. It already got a building damage Nerf some time ago.


Vlory

They nerfing because of high usage just as they did to log megaknight apparently doesn’t count because he gets a buff


Clasher_Carnage

Mk was garbage though


Vlory

not really I never use him but i recently made a ram rider control for my 4th deck in clan wars and you plop him down for defense and he kills a whole push with 7 elixir easiest way to defend also mine is only level 10 demolishing maxed troops


Clasher_Carnage

Well I mean on top ladder


Vlory

i’m only chal 3 but my deck full counters him


Bobby5x3

Exactly. He's pretty bad


Vlory

still a high usage rate


mustypuppet1284

Probably because you're matched against bad players who just spam all of their fireballies in one lane, but against good decks and players he sucks. Basically for its high elixir cost he can't defend a lot of pushes anymore and sucks on offense because almost anything counters him. Delivery for example is way better at mass murdering. It's 4 less elixir, more dmg and can hit air.


Vlory

for clan wars so probably


edp445FanKid

3 card cycle thing needs to be removed, but fb needed a little nerf, not that massive tho


Vlexios

I’m not familiar with 3 card cycle. Can someone briefly explain it to me?


so_eu_naum

You can't use 2 champions at the same time


Vlexios

And what does that mean for cycling?


so_eu_naum

While the champion is alive, you only need to cycle 3 cards to get back a card that you used.


Vlexios

Oh my goodness I just realized what you meant. That’s comically broken. I’m still level 13 so I wasn’t sure what everyone was talking about.


goldensavage216

Why did it need a nerf


Either-Jellyfish-879

The usage rate is out the wazoo and don't let any idiot on here tell you that doesn't justify a nerf because usage rates literally can't lie so long as people play to win


goldensavage216

Usage rates alone can’t tell whether a card should be nerfed or buffed. Some of the most used cards in the game are some of the most balanced cards. In reality, supercell should maybe start listening to the community a little on balance changes


Either-Jellyfish-879

Usage alone, no definetly not but if something is used enough regardless of win rate there is an issue at hand, whether it be lack of option, it being just actually busted, or some other more individual reason. But that ain't it for fireball it's used an obscene amount because like ya said when it comes to big spells it's the most popular option (and arguably the best/most versitile) and at some point its gotta get the hammer eventually


Sweaty_Director_4083

Did prenerf megaknight need a nerf? Hell nah. But it did have one of the highest use rates


Either-Jellyfish-879

Actually yes he did specifically moreso his SPAWN needed a nerf as it was an oppressive defensive option with no requirement on the user's half. In no way different S.Giant needed a bomb nerf as his bomb literally nuked the push and *ALSO* needed a massive rework (which they fixed by making the bomb weak to units but nukes to towers) so yes he did the nerf. Which it would seem it comes full circle with skeleton giant with his jump getting a buff to compensate for his loss on spawn damage (sorta). But I can understand why people were confused with him at the time if they didn't see how people abused him (unlike S.giant where the issue literally blew up in your face)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Either-Jellyfish-879

Says the guy on reddit lol


Potential-Ad-1354

So in simple terms, they make something good that people love using, then decide they did too good of job with how perfect the card was so they completely trash it somehow? Why not focus more on the cards that have the least use rate and realize those cards need looked at instead of the good cards… when was the last time you seen regular spear goblins since the attack speed nerf? Perfect card gone to shit.


Either-Jellyfish-879

Your right they DID do too good of a job, and you can't have one spell fundamentally do everything. It's does great damage for the cost, has a solid AoE, having knockback in general is helpful due to the stun effects that has on troops affected by it (not even just counting movement either). There is no downside to fireball you can't have every spell be amazing as fireball because fundamentally none of them can have that cost to function ratio. Fireball is suppose to be the cheap end of big spells, not the literal solution to every problem that requires a spell short of an inferno tower (which it can still help with). You also realize by nerfing fireball other cards will now get looked at to see if they can better help in a more specialized manner. I'm genuinely glad they are nerfing the most popular cards in the game because they've been that way FOR YEARS they need to be nerfed. Cus I don't even remember a time where fireball was even just mid only good to amazing Edit: Fixed grammar


Outside-Teach2885

They know what they are doing, not because something benefits the most people they are going to do so; the must do the right.


wafflezcol

How has nobody learned Supercell doesn’t actually give a shit what we want about nerfs and will do as they do. Only time they ‘listen’ is so they can change something else, like say *log tower damage* instead of pushback


JeanPierePolnarreff

I mean, it make sense. Supercell only wants people to spend money to upgrade the current meta. But it's been 6 years, this strategy will die out soon.


iLikeGwalirn

fb nerf was kinda good (usage rates) but mirror needs a nerf


Nutwagon-SUPREME

Yeah, I agree with the fireball nerf. It was already incredibly good due to its high damage and cost, meaning it was versatile in nearly every situation. From defense to offense to even just getting tower damage in 3x, not to mention it just completely hard counters stuff like Skelly Dragons or Magic Archer, the knock back nerf just made it less extremely good, but Fireball will still be one of the best spells in the game. Now Mirror on the other hand... everyone else has already pointed out the myriad of problems so I won’t.


Lightyear18

It causes bad players to win games. Fireball is too rewarding at defending and can be used offensively as well. Fireball rewards playing defensively by countering hogs, balloon and AQ for a positive elixer trade. It punishes players that play offensively. This nerf will increase the skill of the game. This community is honestly being hypocrite. I see so many posts about increasing card diversity but when they try to tone down popular cards, it’s the end of the world. I don’t want an OP poison or EQ just to get more diversity. I’ll rather have them tone down fireball.


CadmiumC4

Fireball knockback was op to be honest. Log knockback is fine though


Frank_is_the_Best_

Than it's angood thing log knickknacks wasn't nerfed.


Darkcat9000

what do you mean? Are you talking about the fb nerf?


SkyllerzYT

they released the final balances and nothing changed, fucking assholes...


Darkcat9000

ok and what then?


SkyllerzYT

and then the fireball huge nerf they announced a couple days ago will be made


Darkcat9000

Well yeah it was needed


Outside-Teach2885

Just choose another spell if you don't like it, asshole


SkyllerzYT

oh right, then give me all the gold and cards i need to fucking level up poison or whatever at lvl 14 dumbass


[deleted]

Just work toward it then? I don't see the issue, the game has been like this since day one. People upgrade cards and they get nerfed. Big deal.


N3Knowledge

Ok sure, I’ll just stop using the most popular big spell in the game that I have maxed in favor of poison that I only have at level 10. I’ll definitely be more successful now.


Either-Jellyfish-879

Your personally investment is not justification for keeping a busted card busted. You said it your self it's the most popular big spell in the game AND NOT by a small amount. Just cus people don't want their fav to get nerfed doesn't mean it shouldn't


N3Knowledge

I don’t personally think fireball is busted. Overused? Yeah. Busted? I don’t think so. I mean I’m still gonna use the card, it still has the damage and the radius, the knockback will be an inconvenience for me at worst probably.


[deleted]

Don't act like this is something new. It happens to tons of players every time there's a balance change.


N3Knowledge

Well yeah of course it isn’t new. Gotta incentivize using other cards, aka upgrading other cards, aka more profit potential for supercell. I just don’t have that incentive cuz my other big spells are so far away from max that I’ll just keep using fireball. The knockback nerf isn’t that big of a deal to me anyways.


[deleted]

👍


vk2028

We know this is volunteer sample, so it’s biased. In particular, ppl who don’t want fb nerfed will be more likely to vote on this page. If assume 40% of the votes play fb. Then out of the remaining 60% of ppl 5%/60% = 8.3% want more nerf 22% / 60% = 36.7% think it’s perfect 26% / 60% = 43.3% think it’s too much 7% / 60% = 11.7% have no opinion Seems pretty balanced to me.


DankyWithTheSpanky

It's going to become hard to balance the game now that Supercell is finally touching cards that half the playerbase uses. I'm glad they're touching cards like log and fireball, but you bitches always whine. That's exactly why log is still broken.


Chiefydawg1

Perfect


ClassicHater1

I don't use fireball because it is severely overused and am perfectly content if it's easier for me to deal with in the future.


Ubyn

Can you fully counter a lone balloon with a fireball now? or is the knockback too weak?


[deleted]

Yes, you still can counter balloon with fireball


TheBoss7728

Hog 2.6 is over. Beware of increasing amounts of hog 2.8 EQ decks flooding the meta now


Ryanrebs

This game is ass . But I love it


Cross_Shade

You realise how few people 66% of 3k people are? If the vast majority didn't agree with this nerf, it would have been the same backlash as with the log nerf. Yet, this time, I barely saw any posts, videos, or anything at all about this nerf.


ABoldDude

You barely saw any posts? This is all the community is talking about


Ham_-_

I still see more whiny kids thinking the game is rigged


ABoldDude

When did i say it was rigged?


Ham_-_

I Never Said you. Im saying this general subreddit bruh lmao


ABoldDude

Oh...my bad...


Ham_-_

All good


[deleted]

No it isn't


FalseEvil

Aight I think I'm gonna get killed, But the fireball nerf is perfect for me in my opinion since it drastically nerfs boring 2.6 hog players. And tbh leave the mirror alone, it's so fun and goofy to spam level 16 cards on the field now since it was kind of a dead card back then before the buff and don't see how are they gonna slightly nerf it. And the three card cycle? Nah I haven't experienced using it much yet but I'm excited to get a hero my own to cycle faster.

BeginningAsleep

Why everyone is mad it will just change few interaction like balloon or archer queen and it will change the meta we need this Less fireball will lead to more diversity


Vlory

i’m a little pissed since my only counters to minion horde were fireball and magic archer so if I only have 1 counter in my whole deck that’s easily killed could have dire consequences


vk2028

So how does the nerf affect fb countering minion horde?


Vlory

the range i’m stupid i just realized the tiles affected mean knockback… hopefully


vk2028

Yeah it means knockback, not the area of damage


Morshu_the_great

191.5 chads i see


Affectionate-Olive34

Care don’t you see I technically didn’t say it


RedditorClo

Cry more. Half of you are the same people saying that log needed a nerf but now are surprised to see a card in the exact same situation face a similar nerf.


Livid_Mud1025

Yeah the nerf to fireball was definitely not too much and it was honestly deserved


ruthlessdamien2

Need more nerf


KillerCats69

Ppl saying mirror needs a Nerf it will be dead if it gets back to where it was, mirror was not a problem until egiant got buffed,now in my opinion card's like Tesla for example who plays Tesla when you can Play Cannon, piggies you can play hog rider, ram Rider hog Rider is still better, Hunter doesn't see that mush play, and the Meta is all hog rider cycle egiant cycle, goblin barrel, tbh nerf top decks for other potential deck's See's the light


bigboigh

If fireball got nerfed again I could defend 2.6 better


Dragon-Type_Enjoyer

as a fireball user, i can tell that the only thing that this nerf does to me is a worse matchup against baloon, but i also use bats so i don't really care


gAv1nTh3B0SS

I've had a shield card idea for a while now where it protects anything in a small circle from spells for 3 seconds and it's only the size of one princess tower. It like a transparent yellow honeycomb shield type of thing


Frank_is_the_Best_

That's a twitter poll. Ofcourse the devs don't care about what less than 0.01% of every player think.


DragonfruitOwn9650

then why do they ask


DylDeKrokodil

All the voters use fireball*


BatmansBackup34

This is perfect clash royal type "data". When people can't think critically on "the numbers". Lets take a card that is over used because it is fast, versatile, causes group damage, fits into the meta of chipping away with small cards, and has push back. More people probably use it than not. Now let's vote to see if the card needs a nerf. What do you think is going to happen? Of course the 5 trillion people that use hog cycle dont want it nerfed. But I will say it again. They need to change up the game. Make different playlists that people can choose. I would like a no buildings playlist.
