So, Defensive problem ends up with Cycle problem, which ends up in a star card like Hog Rider abusing the problem and being the visible head. Cycle in this game is invaluable and by far the most problematic thing of all. The problem is that cards are OP just by costing low elixir (which is the most OP trait in the game, not dps, not speed, no. The problem is the defensive state of the game, where you can defend with cycle cards practically any push. It does not feel OP but boring, because its not an unique problem. Hog rider is the visible result of the problem. Not 6 cards designed to never cross the bridge, a win condition and a secondary spell win condition.Įxactly! hog rider is not the problem. If you nerf all of the "go direct to tower and get one hit" cards, the archetype becomes rocket/earthquake cycling on the tower.Ĭlash Royale is at its best when players use their whole deck to defend and their whole deck to attack. You can't nerf a single card in the class because it gets replace with a different one and the boring archetype continues. The basic combo of 1 single target ranged unit (dart goblin, musketeer, AQ), freeze spirit, 1 bait swarm (goblins, skeletons), 1 building (cannon, tesla, inferno tower), 1 mini tank (ice golem, knight, valk) is just too powerful. If you nerf hog rider and goblin barrel, they get replaced with drill and miner and nothing changes. The problem with both of these cards (and other less popular archetypes with the same dynamic of "go direct to tower and get one hit" like miner poison, mortar cycle, drill) is that all of them are fundamentally the same, and the reason that they're the same is that the offence is disconnected from the defence. If you got up to this point, thank you for reading. I hope a someone from the clash team reads this post, so it can be sent to the balance team, and if they agree, address this the way they know how to.ĭISCLAIMER: This is all my opinion, based on my experience. Out of all the cards in the game, for me hog rider is the least fun to play against, it is so boring, repetitive and frustrating. Placing you on the endless cycle up above ^ What if you have a structure? Surprise! You get earthquaked. (This is all subjective, based on my experience) If you decide not to compliment that lumberjack, it’ll be defended with a firecracker+skeletons, leaving you out-cycled with a firecracker on the arena that will kill the troops you use to defend the next hog. If you compliment that spare lumberjack with a battle ram, you get defended by cannon+ice spirit, getting out-cycled and being unable to defend the next hog. You have a bridge spam deck, the opponent places a hog that you defend with a lumberjack. If you don’t have a structure defending a hog translates to being unable to make a solid push, always getting defended cheaply and easily. What does this mean? It’s an un-punishable, risk-free card. This means you can place a hog rider with no spare elixir and defend almost every push with firecracker+skeletons, Musketeer+ice golem, archers+ice spirit. And that is exactly the problem.Īs I mentioned before, this card is always paired with cheap cycle cards. So, placing this top tier card should come with the risk of being punished, right? Well, no. Mentioning all this variables it is safe to say it is a top tier card. Hog rider is a card that ignores enemy troops, has a very fast speed, does 300+ damage per hit and has an insane amount of HP, It is able to survive a rocket+zap, which seems insane to me. Hog rider is a tower threat usually paired with cheap cycle cards, such as skeletons, log, firecracker, etc. I finished top 64 last CRL, I have multiple top 50 ladder finishes, including a Top #3 and a Top #8 in GT.īut this post is not meant to talk about me, it’s meant to talk about a specific card, the Hog Rider.
