The way the fire spirits would just toss themselves into minion horde back in the day was beautiful

At one point barb barrel was actually even better than the log, its had a wild history

Don't forget that you could unlock witch, baby dragon, prince and skeleton army in the training camp back then.

As someone who played 2016-2018 I remember sooo many things in this video, and I'm also surprised at some things that I didn't know happened, like graveyard not having RNG spawn and log not damaging crown towers.

Some old facts that I rmb 1)goblin barrel used to cost 4 elixir and deals low damage to the tower upon hitting 2)zap and princess used to counter a goblin barrel completely 3)the log cannot push back giants when it was first introduced 4)freeze didn’t have damage, but upgrading it increase its duration 5)the hog mountain used to be the legendary arena and it is reached in 3000 trophies + you can get legend trophies for the amount of trophies u have over 3000

the thumbnail is wrong the fire spirit used to have 3 but now has 1, not the other way around

Funfact: Xbow shooting air troops would make it a worse win condition because it gives your opponent more troops to block the xbow with, yes I would have been a better defensive building, however it would almost never lock on if it could hit air.

Thumbnail is wrong

Clash 2016 was sooo good. I miss it terribly. Legendaries felt like, legendaries. Epics felt epic. No pass royale. And an epic was always guaranteed early game.

ice spirit used to freeze for 2 seconds on release actually then got nerfed to 1.5 seconds and then to 1. zap also used to stun for a whole second

9:29 "Just look at that" Really wish I could, but there's a video in the way.

Who else remembers these 1) Witch used to spawn 3 skeletons in a line in front of her instead of 4 around her 2) Witch used to not deal area damage after one wave of balance chances 3) Executioner used to deal 400 damage per 4 hits on enemies after one update

A few more: The PEKKA initially had a longer deploy time, just like the golem does now. It was removed. The goblin gang had 6 goblins-three melee, three spear-for 3 goddamn elixir. The log actually didn’t have knockback and is considered THE worst legendary. SC adding knockback instantly made it the best legendary spell ever. The electro wizard could be one-shotted by a same-level fireball at launch (like the ice wizard is now). Since even epic cards were so expensive in the earliest of CR, the PEKKA twin prince smash was seen as a deck of prestige and power. At launch, poison spell had a slowing effect, just like its COC counterpart, but is even better since it also affected buildings. This made poison-giant strats almost invincible. In the earliest of days, zap was a SINGLE-TARGET spell. The goblin barrel once costed 4 elixir, and dealt damage to its surroundings upon impact. This made it one of the worst spells in early CR. Speaking of which, goblins could once be killed with a same-level zap (the AOE spell which we know today, ofc). SC nerfed the damage of zap by 6% to create one of the most annoying metas of all time: knight-princess-gob barrel-rocket. From a player since 03/2016

Bro got the thumbnail wrong💀

I hate how when anyone mentions how there used to be 3 fire spirits, they never mention that each fire spirit was way weaker, and that it was one of the least used and worst cards in the game. The rework saved the card and made it overpowered until it got nerfed to make it the normal card it is today

« Supercell decided to nerf the ice wizard for no reason » it was literally OP af when the game got released worldwide, but didn’t get nerf immediately because of how stupidly rare getting a legendary was, then when legendaries became slowly but surely more common, they nerfed it.

I mained sparky for years, people would never expect it and you can get an absolute death ball push with it as long as they didn’t have rocket or lightning

one thing you missed was that heal WAS super good at one point. it was used in 3m until it was nerfed into oblivion

The thumbnail is wrong

Some other things I remember 1) Bowler used to knock back every troop, even Tanks. 2) Heal used to cost 4 elixir and it healed like crazy (it could heal 50% of Giants HP back). 3) Spear Goblins back in the day couldn't oneshot Skeleton, however they had much higher attack speed. 4) Witch didn't have AoE attacks back in the day

7:40 referrence to a meme that was very popular back then, a skeleton playing a trumpet, making a Sound 'doot doot '

I remember when I first got the princess in the summer of 2016, I got so excited I literally yelled for hours and was happy for days, because I got her without spending money at all. Now? Legendaries are like commons.

We took the W

1:49 sparky was the first legendary i pulled on my old account, it plus golem got me all the way to legendary arena (which was then changed to hog mountain) so it’ll always hold a special place in my heart

Ahh, i remember when me and my friends were walking to home and one of my friends was playing clash royale and he opened the free chests and got sparky from one of them, he started shouting a lot and ran to his other friends to show what he got and from what he got it from :D Good old times

😢I downloaded the game when it was released back 6 years ago. Ah, the nostalgia…

I still remember getting my first legendary from a wooden chest, it was *the log* too I used it in every deck. Ahh good times

Your videos just keep getting better and better. Keep up the grind bro one day you'll get the fame you really deserve.

1:23 what is that bandit doing to mega knight 💀

I loved the old fire spirits they were by far my favorite card. To all the bitter people in the comments, I did not say the fire spirit are any worse or better than the fire spirits. You simply cannot take a minion horde out with it anymore, it does more damage to towers and costs less elixer. The only improvement was in top ladder usage, and I simply said I liked the previous fire spirits and now nerds who need to hug their parents and touch some grass are having a "skill issue" debate about a single card, I mean tf is your life by that point lol, it's just a game and you clearly don't enjoy it😂

I cryed cuz this is so nostalgic me and my cousins used to spam play this

I got my ice wizard from a wooden chest at spell valley in 2016. Then 2 months later LH from crown chest. I went from builders workshop (1800 at the time) all the way to legendary arena with Lavaloon/double wizard.

Let's just say the wooden chest was my legendary chest. That is where most my legendaries came from at the time

Pretty sure they made the fire spirit 1 elixir to make it more similar to the other ones. Also, they increased it's damage and splash size, so it's pretty much the same as before

I remember being absolutely tired after a day of school coming back home opening my free chests and getting my first legendary out of it, won't forget the free chest rip

Idk if anyone remebers, but on the early days of clash royale, the prince had different sounds, when he charged the horse also screamed and when he hited something he would make a more high pitched sound in comparation of today.

The thumbnail shows that the old version of fire spirits only had one stead of 3 which is the opposite of what it should be

6:32 Hey im pretty sure this is OJ’s footage, maybe you should credit him?

Use to play in 2017 recently started 5 days and wow a lot has changed

The wooden chests hited me really hard, miss those

Honestly the witch at its peak was more powerful than the night witch at its peak in my opinion

3:34 Bro stole my font 💀

8:00 This lasted until the winter of 2019 towards 2020, I remember I was out, it was season 6 and I took number 20 25, I don't remember anymore

for the old playersrs,there also used to be a trend when we used to write a message to superscell frequesting for a legendary and after a bit most players used to get it as well.though it didnt happen to me,my friends did get legendaries bucuz of the request they made.I got my first legendary via magical chest ,it still feels like yesterday.the good old days man....😇

"royal guards" 💀

"Compare to our lame golem now with crystals" Honestly, as a clash royale player since 2016, i like how the current golem looks. They look more like their COC counterparts, and it looks even nicer with the star level golden crown

Been playing for 7 years and 3 months and i really miss the old clan chest which you can get once every week if i remember that right

surprised you didnt mention how OP zap was. killed goblins and, iirc, stunned for a whole 1 second for 2 elixer

I think your thumbnail is quite incorrect.

Despite not being able to see them, there are still chest stats for them for each areana with all the other chests. You can also still use them... but only once at the start of the game. I wonder why they still make wooden chests gradually better each areana if you can't get them past training camp. -sincerely Uel

Even though i didnt notice the classic emotes lost old sounds. The moment i heard them just reminds old clash royale.

4:15 We're going back to the summer of 2019 when pass royale came out and when it was possibly with the air thing

Playing since launch, those old sound effects are so nostalgic

The good old wooden chest... I got my first two or i guess first three legendarys out of them. It was my favourite chest. Also the Magical Cjest was my favourite, today i hate it.

I remember the feeling when the penultimate card was an epic card, I kept crossing my fingers for a legendary to come in the last one, haha

I remember play cr and I was in arena 4. I just opened my free chest and I got a lava hound, it felt amazing. Some weeks later, i got another hound from free chest. It was incredible.

3:24 did he just censor the dude's balls with the clash royale logo ?

🤫

I remember quite a few of these facts like the royal recruit one and the fire spirit one. I have been playing since mid 2016 and have seen the game progress so much, honestly i liked the game more back in 2018. After they made all of the rearanging of lower arenas and rearanging of cards the game became much worse (I got league 2 before they made rascal's hideout, serinity peak ...), I still like the game but it isn't as much fun as it used to be.

7:11 my first legendary was ice wizard and got it from Wooden chest in 2017

Larry is god

6:52 is that Jesus?

It was 2016 when clash royale became accessible to everyone and I was at Arena 5. I remember seeing the card "mirror" and really wanting it. At the time, when I reached Arena 5 I was thinking to myself if I should have bought a few giant chests just for a chance to get it. I remember spending 10 euros (which was a bit spent on a mobile game for me since I was a kid) to get 3 giant chests. Unfortunately I didn't get no mirror in those chests. I was really sad, and decided to spend 5 more euros to open one more giant chest. I see 4 cards, i see the second to last card being a mirror. I screamed with joy. The last card was an ice wizard. I think I don't apreciate these little things anymore in life. A less than 0.1% to get it. It was epic. I was the only one in my school to have a legendary at the time. Thanks for reading❤️

man, I miss the draft chests. they were fun to obtain and use. r.i.p. also, I did not even know that barb barrel and graveyard are changed because I never use them.

The thumbnail is incorrect it’s the other way around

7:13 i v got mk in 2019 in wood chest, I cryed...

I remember getting an ice wizard (one of the 2 legendaries at the time) and I was so happy that I need to tell everyone about that. Now when I get a legendary, a lot of times I feel disappointed that I didn't get the legendary I want.

the wooden chest really brings me nostalgia :( I got my 2 first legendaries from it lava and ice

i still very remember a moment i unlocked mega knight while unlocking crown chest. that time doesnt have pass royale it was 2018.. good ol' days

The 15k card chest was still around when I started. Could you imagine the joy of finally getting to open it again?

bowler has the best voiceline i. the game wich was removed he used to just say WEEEEEEEE on release and i loved it so much so sad its gone also ak-47 witch was crazy

I miss my old ebarb rg deck back in like 2020/2019 whenever it was just after the big buff for ebarbs, my favorite most toxic deck I’ve ever made. And to comment on when you said night witch was the most op card I beg to differ, I think that goes to the very fast e barbs

i remember playing clash royal in like 1st or 2nd grade art class when we had a free day and i wanted to hunt for a legendary now a few years later i decided to reinstall the game to see what i missed

I always hated the magical chest because I was the only person in my group of friends who never got a legendary from one. Been playing consistently since 2016 and got my first legendary from a magical chest less than a month ago.

I remember in 2018-2019 when I got graveyard from a silver chest as my first legendary (there were no wooden chests)

Fun fact: One of the skeleton is named ledoot because its a reference to a skeleton blowing a trumpet, making a doot sound.

u really took me back with the red tower skin i remember that and if i could go back now and buy it itd be such a flex same with the hog with raining coin emote. i lost the challenge with 1 win left, if only i was better

Gradually I'm in love with this channel

Bro keep making video’s, they are amazing. You are gonna hit 100k subs in no time, if you keep uploading these fire videos🔥

this video brought me my old memory about clashroyale

I think I was one of the people that were the saddest about the fire spirit changes it was my favorite card till then

This gave me the memory of getting a legendary from a wood chest it was the best feeling ever

I was used to 3 fire spirit back then and quit the game for some moment. But when i come back, they changed it to 1 i was pretty upset lol

I remember i got my first legendary card Lava hound from wooden chest..best feeling ever

back then my friend created a unique and insanely powerful combo that no one had used before, which is the 3 fire spirit + hog rider in the front, this combo was used against a player on youtube and after that one video, this combo went viral and everyone started using it, but now no one is using this combo anymore and completely died out cuz of the fire spirit nerf proof that im also a veteran with my friend back then, the highest arena is arena 10 which is that temple looking map, but damn back in the day, the hype was actually getting legendary from the wooden basic chest, then at the end, u see a blinking rainbow coloured number, u know its ur time, either a princess of ice wizard gonna pop up, now, there aint any hype anymore in getting any cards in this game

I thought sparky was class. There was no zap, zappies or electro wizard back then either so it was good to drop deep

I really miss the wooden chest. While everyone else was collecting their legendaries, I never got a single one. Until one week I opened my wooden chest and got my first legendary. About a week later, I got my second legendary, _through another wooden chest!_ These two were my only legendaries I ever got, and then I stopped playing

oh my god. stop it. i cried hard at this. for 2 reasons. sadness from the heal spell, wooden chests, the triple fire spirit, the 6 elixer royal guards, super op graveyard. and the insane amounts of ptsd i recieved from all these insane things that happened with the night witch

Sparky is the true meaning of coming back with a bang

I remember I used to pair heal spell with goblin barrel and miner or minion heal spell with miner when i was pushing in arena 10 😂 Really worked and it placed me into arena 11

still remember the time skarmy cost 4 elixir and had 20 skeletons in it, really overpowered in lower arenas at it's time.

My memories rewinded when I was watching this nostalgic vid: 1. i remember you could get free chest per (i forgot if it was 8 or 12 hours). I once got a magic archer from a free chest 3 days after the magic archer release challenge was over. Then all my classmates called me a stupid money spender 😂 2. I remember my friend used to pair heal spell with goblin barrel and miner or minion heal spell with miner when he was pushing in arena 10 😂 Really worked and it placed him into arena 11 3. The day when my friend pushed to 4000 cups (I was ~5.8k), supercell announced that there will be no draft chest anymore 😢😢

the ice wizard was nerfed to die to fireballs after the addition of the spawning box around it.

i know i still play from 2016 2017 but my best friend unfortunately in 2019 he doesn't play anymore i remember

i remember you could get free chest per (i forgot if it was 8 or 12 hours). I once got a magic archer from a free chest 3 days after the magic archer release challenge was over. Then all my classmates called me a stupid money spender 😂

I remember the time i got a graveyard from the free chests... it felt so good btw

This is actually a really cool video. Thanks!

dont forget about the +70% dmg buff for executioner ;D

I miss the old fire spirits they so damn good

I like how the title says "25 Facts Only Clash Royale Veterans Know", and the thumbnail shows an update about 2 years old 😭
