WIP Balance Changes for January 2024 (Season 55)

[ASAI453 (ASAI45)]

@alpe123

76%1 - Little Prince double nerf:

I think there’s no question that the Little Prince deserves a nerf. However, I don’t think this should be the way it has to be nerfed, nerfing the damage of the prince would ruin its intended purpose of being an “Air Mighty Miner”. Nerf its hp instead so it dies to fireball. Might as well put poison back in its place.

@alpe123

2 - Evolved Archers nerf:

I have mixed opinions with this one. On one hand, it is beautiful that Evo archers don’t have as much range as they used to have. On the other, I have a feeling that they will be more difficult to kill in offense, as the powered shots will be fired from a lower distance than before.

@alpe123

3 - Goblins nerf to the First Hit Time:

Absolutely unnecessary. Log bait is dead this season, and will be even more if this balance change is implemented. Leave goblins as they are (except the giant).

@alpe123

4 - Rage nerf to the Duration:

Any nerf to cards usually used in goblin giant or elixir golem are welcome to me. Although would be better if they simply nerfed the main cards.

@alpe123

5 - Barbarian Barrel nerf to the Damage:

Nope, terrible change. Barbarian barrel is fine as it is. They’ve got more stuff to worry about, come on.

@alpe123

6 - Evolved Royal Recruits nerf to the Damage Multiplier:

Yeah, will help Evo recruits not being as annoying. However, please don’t nerf them any more! Any more nerfs and they will practically be regular royal recruits.

@alpe123

7 - Bowler nerf to the First Hit Time: from 0.5 to 0.6 Seconds

Ok change, however, I would nerf the bowler in other ways. Maybe reducing the range so it isn’t able to hit the tower from the bridge would be best.

@alpe123

8 - Giant Skeleton buff to the HP:

Another pointless change. Giant skeleton’s hp is fine as it is, if they want Giant Skeleton to be more mainstream they should buff the hit speed or increase the bomb damage to troops.

@alpe123

9 - Guards buff to the Shield HP:

Guards should for no reason be able to survive arrows. Nerf their regular health as well (which will probably only come to use in this interaction anyways).

@alpe123

10 - Skeleton King buff to the Hit Speed:

Sure, why not.

@alpe123

11 - Bomber buff to the Damage:

Pretty cool change. Bomber’s damage is good as it is, but a bit extra damage wouldn’t do any harm.

@alpe123

12 - Golden Knight buff to the Dash Damage:

This would be an annoyance more than anything, and I hope this doesn’t change many interactions. If they really want to, go with it I guess.

@alpe123

13 - Archer Queen buff to the Duration:

PLEASE , my poor archer queen needs it to stay afloat in this current meta. An increase in the duration would be the perfect change it needs to go out of the shadows again.

@alpe123

14 - Goblin Drill rework:

I personally like it, though I am not a goblin drill player and don’t know if this would be better or worse for the drill.
