E SPIRIT GOT NERFED THIS IS IT THE GAME IS OFFICIALLY DOOMED

also where is evo bomber buff they buffed marcher so why not buff evo bomber alongside to bring competition

but overall w balances all deserved the game will be pretty balanced after these I think… but they are adding knight hero which is the strongest card concept ever so idk

Tornado fix when? (Take out spear goblins)

Pekka/evo pekka and wizard/evo wizard need buff for very long time.

Cannoneer and chef tower need a very small hp buff (or any buff). They really suffer even in the top decks.

buff pekka

Ram rider need a buff (She became very weak)

Barb barrel nerfs are unnecessary they will kill the card. Like how now the barrel won’t break recruits and dark prince shield? And deploy time nerf will make the barb die before landing any deserved one hit or two on swarms like goblin gang, it is even worse against witch, and against any troop plus skeletons.

#BUFF_GIANT_SKELETON GIANT SKELETON BUFF 5% HP BUFF AND 10% DAMAGE BUFF EVO GIANT SKELETON Idea on death evo giant skeleton split into two big skeleton ps big skeleton have the same stats that of the ice golem but without slowing down and a Weaker death bom.

nerf log to the ground and then nerf barrel because of its usage rate lol, bravo supercell

i think the dagger duchess should be buffed because compared to other towers, she is used very rarely and practically does not defend in strong attacks. I think we need to buff her dagger damage and add 1 dagger (9 instead of 8)

Honestly? Really happy with these balance changes! But I have a few minor points, as always

the devs are FINALLY buffing Void’s damage! However, I think it needs a 12.5% damage buff instead (320-360) as combined with log it could kill things like executioner, goblin demolisher, royal ghost, and two shot musketeer

I’m happy with the goblin demolisher buff- I wanted to see something like this so no complaints there, hopefully it’s viable again

RG nerf might be a bit much, but it’s so strong rn that I don’t really know how much this nerf would affect it, so I’d do it just to see where it lands in the meta

I really don’t like the baby dragon evo so I’m happy it’s getting nerfed, honestly I’d go all the way and nerf its speed boost to 30% to match other cards but I’m biased towards the card, so I think this is a good move for the most part

Freeze and marcher buffs I’m good with, although GY freeze is already pretty solid rn so this may tip it over the edge, but I don’t think that’s gonna be the case- E spirit nerf although deserved is crazy to see since it’s never received a balance change in the 5 YEARS since its release

Barb Barrel is definitely too strong and has been for a while but hopefully these changes don’t hurt it too much, since I think there should always be small spell diversity

Overall great changes, 9/10, but I would also buff Little Prince, Goblin Machine, Goblin Curse, Rune Giant, bad evos (Bomber, Goblin Drill, Wizard, Goblin Giant, Pekka, Ice Spirit) and rework barb hut- but I say this every patch, so nothing new here

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Barbarian Barrel: Barbarian Deploy time nerf is not necessary; damage nerf would be enough.

Evolution Royal Ghost: Nerf is overkill. -10% on both stats would do the job.

barb barrel deploy time is already the longest deploy time by far, needing to reacting insanely fast to catch troops agro before locking on ur tower. Don’t think we should touch that aspect

evo skele barrel should be be slightly nerfed i think, due to its winrates, how simple it is, n how annoying it is to. even if royal ghost is being nerfed, so is the barrel and e spirit

Barb Barrel is good mainly because it’s good counter to Evo Witch.

I like buffs, but I am not sure if those are gonna make big difference.

The previous nerfs to goblin giant and machine were too much. Now cards like these and also other cards like barbarian hut, wizard, pekka, megaminnion, little prince, goblins, and others need a buff.

Where’s the Little Prince buff?

nobody likes magic archer let it stay dead please

why is e spirit getting buffed??? i know it’s intended to be a nerf but now it’s going to be even more useful because it has more control over time with troops being deployed after it starts chaining, especially against graveyard.

since e spirit got nerfed, can we get a hog rider nerf?? this thing is literally the best win condition in every season and its way too effective and easy to play
