I’ve been a 2.6 main the entire time i’ve played this game. It can be really frustrating playing with this deck because it’s so easy to mess up and lose instantly. There’s never a chance to 3 crown someone and comebacks are near impossible.

​​@@formlismy take on 2.6 is that playing against it makes it seem skilless, cuz you just see the opponent spamming cards and defending your pushes and it's frustating. On the other hand, playing it is pretty difficult, cuz if you mess up your cannon/musketeer placement once you have a high chance of losing, making it a high skill deck that's pretty hard to master

There are 2 ways to beat 2.6 with a beatdown: First one is a strong and snowbally push in double or triple elixir where you can place cards faster than 2.6 can kill them. Mainly good for elixir golem decks and some golem decks with lightining and tornado to kill the muskteer. 2.6 has very little dps so if you have a lot of tanky cards it just cant keep up against your elixir generation. Second one is a fast push. Giant double prince with zap for skeletons style. Earthquake is also incredibly good, since its a great counter to cannon. You want to get so close to the tower that 2.6 doesnt have space to kite.

@@alex2005z here is the issue with your suggestion then i literally have to keep in mind that my opponent will use 2.6 hog cycle and i am making counter for it. Most of the people who like to make an overall working deck won't be able to beat hog cycle. Personally what i do is I wait as much as possible and try to pressure them to make some mistakes from their part which I capitalize. But if they are experienced and play perfectly then I got no chance.

@@soumojitchowdhury151 well if your beatdown deck cant overwhelm or make a fast push then its a preety bad beatdown deck

@@wxckvro3215 that is infact, how to make a deck.

Tell me about it. I went into party mode and did 9 1v1 showdowns and it was literally all 2.6 hog.

Maybe if everyone wasn’t required to spend 6months maxing one deck, we’d see more unique play styles

It's not popular

I think its the cannon for me. Imo buildings make for pretty stagnant and annoying matches, especially if you have a beatdown deck. Its especially true considering how much of a no-brainer choice cannon is, considering how much you can do with it for so little elixir

If there are 109 cards that means there are around 1000000000000000000 card combinations.

As autistic as MK players are, I find the fatso to require more skill than hog rapist. I also don't dislike the mk as much as the hog rapist, not only because it actually targets everything it can but because it's white.

THATS WHAT MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET. Hog 2.6 requires a complete even matchup. Just a single level advantage messes up key card interactions that’ll make you more likely to lose. I know I’ve lost a match when my musketeer can’t even 1 shot goblins.

@@Deadlydaniel it's like another level of satisfaction

​@@mercamiaI feel the same way, back when I used to play clash like a year ago, x-bow, and hog 2.6 were literally my best friends lmao. I personally didn't like the bridge spam decks that I'd face, so I liked the challenge of using cheap cycle decks to win matches against impatient players. And like you say being f2p makes these cycle decks very affordable to level up and push as a lot of opponents in what now is considered low arena to low mid ladder had a bunch of over leveled players. My all time high was beating some dude that was level 14 with MK EB bridge spam at level 10 with barely level 10 3.0 x-bow cards. I could tell he was just relying on the level advantage to win him the game easily so I had to lock in from the very start, and by 2x elixir he actually started to try because I was breaking through and got the damage lead on him. I ended up barely winning and it's the most satisfying win I've ever had playing 😂

Anyone with an Xbow or a hog has 0 respect from me. Normally my goal is to have fun but if I see someone playing with either card, my only hope is to destroy so badly that they want to rethink their lives and change deck

Yeah, I don't know the Miner's history and I still try to understand why a tip makes a joke about nerfing it. It feels like an average card to me, maybe there was a time when it was OP?

​@@gianluco At its prime, the Miner dealt 40% of its normal damage to crown tower and had 6% more health than today, so cycling Miner alone was an actually viable win condition. And because its effectively a scuffed Knight that can be placed anywhere on the map, it was (and still is) the most versatile troop in the game. Update : the Nerf Miner meme became real lmao

Did he really get nerfed that bad though? Genuine question, it seems he isnt a win condition like he used to be but he is still an extremely powerful card to play. I feel that supercell wanted him to be a different take on support troops and they nailed that.

Miner poison is everywhere now. At this point,miner is so versitile that you can literally put anything in any decks. Also it's great when the card that supposed to be tank and not a win condition become what it used to.

Funny that you said that. Miner has always been one of the most consistent win condition regardless of the meta. I dont really know where you get that notion that the miner have fallen into oblivion. Case in point, during that time wherein the monk and phoenix are literally in almost every game, there were 2 decks that was in top 10 that did not use those cards. Both were miner decks.

This deck is basically a troll deck You’ll lose, but its funny when you win. Like all spells/buildings

Mirror came out way later dude

​@@PoorEdwardboth hog and mirror were in on release

​@@PoorEdwardclearly you haven't play clash royale in the early day

Very effective beginner deck. And if this was a lan game it'd probably be relatively useless. The problem comes when you get to mid ladder and ever low upper ladder. It's an easy deck to level up so they'll probably outlevel you. Hog has next to no spawn delay and little to no positive elixir counterplay without perfect placement. Which is a major issue when you introduce lag and get things like your card playing late and dead hogs doing damage. This deck wouldn't even be usable if hog had double the damage but double the spawn delay and hit speed. Which makes you feel like you're being scummed all game with nothing you can do. Combine this with the fast cycle in defence where even worse hog cycle players can just play enough cards to stop some decks it makes it a nightmare deck for the health of the game.

​@@IVIRnathanreillyI don't think is that easy to level up bc are just almost special cards

You probably played against people who didn’t know how to use the deck.

​@@sharjinalaviantik9688 Nope, the deck itself is fundamentally flawed. If you got 2 ways to deal with the hog, you win easily. If you can cycle as effectively as him, you win. One mistake is all he need to commit and you win.

The deck is not op, it's just annoying, played well it makes you sweat for 6 minutes straight to get a win. One mistake and you are lost. Xbow wasn't op either, it was very high skill, but they nerfed it nonetheless, actually killing it completely, due to people saying it was op. It wasn't, you just can't play the matchup because so different from any other deck. Hog 2.6 should be next, at least for consistency. No win condition has ever been as iconic as the hog rider, anyway the xbow was killed while the 2.6 is still found very often, even in 2v2s and special modes. It's annoying. I can't stand it, I've been playing since launch and I'm just tired of it, just like everyone else was frustrated facing the xbow, which got killed.

​@@cinderburn2660 if you face a decently skilled player though, and if it's literally any different situation than you mentioned, it's just a frustrating matchup. Sometimes, when I face this kind of people, I just close the game and let them win. It's just frustrating, they suck away my desire to play the game.

To be fair he started posting like 5 months ago,so he probably would have more as time goes on!

On the flip side of the coin, cycle players with perfect micros (as in top ladder) can abuse the game mechanics to get unfair advantages which is annoying for beatdown players because it only comes down to when the cycle players makes a mistake which rarely happens at the top.

all you have to do is get a beatdown player on the defensive and it’s an easy w pretty easy to do when your deck is chip damage

Cycle decks are beatdowns nightmare

@@Meet_Your_Death If people play with far more risk and manage to play perfectly, shouldn't they be rewarded with greater reward? In the current build, if the beatdown player makes a mistake, they get some chip damage. If the cycle player makes a mistake, they get instantly destroyed. This means that making no mistakes as a beatdown player while exploiting the far greater window for failure of a cycle player gives the cycle player no chance to win, unless the beatdown player makes a massive mistake. Part of the skill of the game is creating more opportunities for mistakes to be made.

@brianlam5847 I was only referring to top ladder. At lower down cycle shouldn't really be a problem because one plays like Remieli or Nate. You can just go Gob giant sparky and half of the cycle players in mid ladder would surrender

also how someone can come back to a deck after 5 years and still use it. Shows how little skill it takes to run. Hard for current players to make their own deck and have to use a premade.

It has always been the card that is hated and loved at the same time. Its viable but makes you a lifetime virgin for using it.

Ya, I thought that people thought hog 2.6 was cool and no one hated it because it could defend pushes which weak cards, but instead that's the exact reason why they hate it. Plus I saw oyassu play it

People are willing to hate mega knight and hog rider but not cards like graveyard

The thing that most people (since most people are not at 7500 trophies or maxed out) dislike is playing any of these decks with a one or two card level disadvantage. Then your counters do not work and a hog, golem, or other card will just waltz in and take your tower. The reason mega knight and elite barbarians (when used as bridge spam) are hated is mostly when they over-leveled and spammed. Another reason that many people dislike these decks is because they have faced a toxic player who used one of these decks and we tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones. Obviously a toxic player could play any deck, but chances are they are going to play a deck that is viewed by others as controversial to get their opponents tilted from the get go. This just so happens to be from a fixed number of decks which are easy/cheap to upgrade and easy or have a lot of resources to learn (not going to comment on skill for any deck since all decks require skill to win with, especially if you have under leveled cards). I don't really hate playing against any other decks specifically. Rather I hate it when the opponent is over leveled or toxic. As a golem player myself (not meta since mine uses Three musketeers) pushing into 5000 trophies. I often face X-Bow 3.0, 2.6 Hog, Log Bait, but mostly Mega Knight, Lava-Loon, or some other spam deck. These matchups are not one-sided if equally leveled, but when you mainly only face a few decks, ladder becomes a bit... boring and repetitive. It becomes a real pain when you face the so-called "Mid-ladder Menaces" right when you are about to progress. It then becomes difficult not to dislike these decks or cards (having rage or lumberjack supported lvl 13 elite barbarians rush you is no fun when your own cards are lvl 10 and 11).
