Guys lets make a Giant 2× Prince meta , a deck without evolutions . pls. vote : Giant , Prince , Ice Spirit .

• Lava Hound is already weak by itself and limited in use only by some cards , its one of the only Beatdown Decks that can counter Cycle decks , a Rework would be better : option 1. -5 % HP , but +9 % Damage , or option 2. atleast an spawn Magma Aura that deals tick damage like poisson for 5 sec. but every second the Damage increases ( like Inferno Dragon and Void Strike in Minecraft Dungeons ) ( -9 % HP ) .

• i think i speak from everyone whe i say Battle Healer needs an massive buff , current stats but 3 elixir , or current 4 elixir , but buffed stats like : option 1. Splash Damage , Royale Ghost , and 3 Elixir card can do this , why Battle Healer shouldnt , option 2. Heal Range Increases with each hit ( isnt reseted by Electro , only by Knockback ) , option 3. Her attacks goes faster like Mighty Miner ( the heal will also be faster , but ofcourse - 28 % Damage , - 45 % Heal , so it wont be that OP if it gets to your Tower ) , option 4. Rework to Heal Ranger from Clash Mini , youve already did that with Heal Spell , so it wont be a problem .

• Ofcourse with every Healer buff we should nerf E-Golem , especially that is now used in a meta deck with Skelly King and N Witch that is broken , is the perfect ocasion to buff one and nerf the other , nerf ideeas : option 1. each Elixir Golemites now gives 1 Elixir instead of 0.5 , or option 2. The Elixir Golem is + 19 % Faster in each Stages but - 54 % HP of each Stages .

majority of the buffs are completely unnecessary

magic archer nerf is understandable because of the miner wb variation with marcher nado, but the nerf is actually gonna damage the bridge spam archetype way more, i really dont understand how all these random cards are getting a buff but somehow pekka is still not getting one

[emile29120 (Fr29)]

Marcher nerf is deserve but pekka should definitely get a little buff

[heroguy1]

Cannon cart reowork :3

[julesy]

Just don’t nerf balloon or magic archer just buff princ and ice golem

[crdevs_are_shit (crdevs=shit)]

miner wb meta is getting a hard hit with this (sad but deserving)

[Flo35 (Flo)]

GobGiant Nerf missing

[player19375]

I think inferno tower health buff is great. It would help in some matchups, like tanking a lightning and still killing golem. I’ve wanted it for years.
Also, it would be great if rocket could be buffed so that it kills +1 level Sparky and elixir golem. It can help a lot with certain defence.

Poll for balance… Maybe y post this poll on Youtube Kids? Or conduct a survey among players of arena 10? It so cringe to accepted such important changes from a poll…
Now, nerf of spirit has a more chances then goblins…
P. S. Nerf Tornado is the biggest cringe and kids will choose it…

[lumbertaken]

Miner wb deck is gonna die

[karl0d]

Cannon hit speed is currently 0.9s

so there must be some kind of mistake.

Secondly how is increasing hit frequency a nerf? At this point I’m slowly starting to question your competence

PS. Maybe it’s me being stupid, but this poll is a little misleading. I expected hit speed in seconds and not in hertz!!!

[35str5]

great job now tornado is completly useless

[emile29120 (Fr29)]

Pol may not be the solution but there is no perfect one.
I don’t think this poll is answered by arena 10 players since most twitter / rapi users are pretty good
Now let’s talk about the card, both spirit and goblins getting a nerf is good.
And for nado it has been too strong for years and a nerf will be really good in order to change a little the meta (less splash, miner nado and golem pump)

[starship22]

Ice spirit and goblins are way to much value for cost. They need a nerf

[starship22]

For Magic archer, simply nerf the crown tower damage. Its fine otherwise

[John_13]

don’t u think it’s too strong for tanking a lightning and still killing a golem

[VadimKashtanov]

Magic Archer Rework

Last tile of the arrow : -30% dmg
The rest of the Arrow : +20% dmg

This will make him more of what he have to be.
