I think mega minion should get an evo. I'm thinking when the HP runs out, his armour comes off leaving him with a second form that has low HP but very fast movement and attack speed.

@THE_TRAPPYMAN 19 днів тому

Nah personaly i think it should gain the range of an archer with low health chield make the evo 2 cycle ,keep the other stats the same AND VOILA BALANCED

@diegocosta493 24 дні тому

I used to hate it when it was released because it felt too strong with giant (I remember the meta being giant poison) and it even could survive a Fire Ball. They nerfed MM after that and since then it feels a pretty balanced card

@blackheart4360 24 дні тому

I miss those good Ole days. Giant pushes. Not just random non skilled random 1 hit hog (who still needs to be 5 elixir) cycles for 6 years straight. nowadays everyone just plays firecracker. Who also needs to be either 4 elixir or die by log. Lastly, atleast during those days. We had draws. Which still I don't understand why they removed a whole deck arch type (draw heavy decks) to please those non skilled players.

@gamersreactions9267 24 дні тому

@@blackheart4360 i agree with most of your comment, but hog is decently fair if firecracker would be balances. And draws were not a good thing. When i was actually tryharding i played xbow and either won, or played to a draw. Losses were so rare if you piloted the deck correctly

It's always interesting to listen to how any change to a game with troop interactions domino's its way to affecting every other card in the game.

Can you do a video about masteries? To me, it appears like supercell wants us to forget about them. They haven’t added tier 3 masteries to most troops, and in the past year they’ve nerfed rewards, taken away post-game stats and recently taken masteries out of the cards menu. Now the only way to see mastery progress is by the mastery button in the deck builder or in the troop badges, both of which aren’t sortable and thus, difficult to navigate.

I am a consistent UC 2000~ medal player (definently not a "Top player") and i think that splashyard is not broken but its annoying cuz of the randomized behaviour of graveyard. Sometimes even if you poison it it will get like 5-6 shots which roughly means 650 damage. Miner and drill is considered to be annoying for the same reason.

I personally always enjoyed using the Mega Minion, it feels extremely fun to use and acts as a very solid single-target high DPS air card. I'd say at some points in time, it could've been considered the most balanced card in the entire game. Sadly it's overshadowed by many other cards at this point and doesn't see too much use rate (mainly just Little Prince honestly), but I'll always love it!

@gerardoledezma4126 23 дні тому

Mega Minions is my favorite for how perfectly it does what it’s meant to, while also looking pretty cool. Deserves a buff tho, preferably to a melee instead of its range, especially considering that there’s melee troops (Pekka, Prince) that have longer range.

Rework idea: Make the mega minion have two attacks and split the damage evenly between them. It would make the better at countering swarm and it wouldn't kill itself when against Monk. Maybe make the spit do damage and make the throw a slap. This might help it stand out a bit more and maybe compete with the pheonix a bit more.
