Why Elixir Golem Can't Work in Clash Royale
Переглядів 775,537
День томуElixir Golem has never really been a balanced card. It's had surges in the meta, but always seems to fizzle out or get nerfed. The elixir golem has only been in Clash Royale for a few years, but it's had an INSANE journey!

The main reason it's so toxic is if played correctly it counters its own weaknesses. The problem with elixir golem is the fact you have to counter it to get the reward. It's essentially the pigs mixed with a giant for 7 less elixir.

Egolem is a double edged blade, it destroys anything on a very specific deck but trash if you put it somewhere else. That's why it sucks in draft cause it's just giving your opponent free elixir, it only works if you build a deck surrounding the egolem.

I guess elixir golem's evolution would be either "You get all the elixir after golem dies, and not your opponent", or it would explode after death and cards that got damage from the explosion would get "elixified" or something. Elixified cards would give elixir to you, just like elixir golem gave elixir to your enemy.

@thorveim1174 2 місяці тому
why its such an issue in beatdown decks is because it's so cheap for the hitpoints it has, which allow for far more support troops than say a normal golem (and is LESS vulnerable to infernos to boot). Used well, it allows for pushes that have far more value than they cost, and sure your opponent gets 4 elixic, but that's only AFER downing the golem, and at that point it may already be too late for the tower

@nylasartchannel2594 2 місяці тому
I think the reason the elixir golem is considered low skill and hated is because of the splitting mechanic equally distributing the stats of the elixir golem when the regular golem does not. the splitting mechanic is just a roundabout way of saying "kill a building targeting knight 3 times" or "kill a golem, but the golem is 3 elixir"
@angelnousername4767 2 місяці тому
basically an ice golem wich you can spam whatever behind it and it'll likely work if your opponent isnt smart
@erratas8909 Місяць тому
It's low skill because of how cheap it is, unlike golem, egolem takes sooo long to kill, enough for your opponent to put support troops in the back but since it's already cheap, they can place 12 elixir worth of support and ram over you to 3 crown.

Elixer golem relays on other cards that synergies with golem but golem is a skilled version of it as it is expensive but never gives elixer to the opponent while the elixer golem does which if you mess up it will cause you to lose the game entirely as the elixer you’ve spent left you vulnerable after failing to finish them(that is how you play elixer golem just create a push that is a game killer and finish off your opponent) as you are now going up against their counter push
