How’s it going Clashers? It’s MindgameR here with another Clash Royale Glitches article. I wrote the Top 5 Clash Royale Glitches article but there are more bugs in the game which are hella interesting. So we are here again to know another five Clash Royale glitches. Let’s go!

5. Bomb Tower Explosion Glitch

This glitch was a little bit weird. Whenever the Bomb Tower exploded after being hit by

 something that has a projectile range like Magic Archer or The Log, its explosion would increase the projectile range to some extent. This was super amazing whenever the Bomb Tower was placed near a Tower. For example, if a Bomb Tower is placed near the King Tower, and a Log comes and hits it and destroys it, though the Log doesn’t have enough range to reach the King Tower but because of the Bomb Tower explosion, it would cause some damage to the King Tower and activating it.

4. Confusion Glitch

This glitch is an OG glitch, but recently a new variation of it was seen. Earlier there was a glitch in which the Hog Rider would get confused between the tower and the Tesla as the Tesla opens up and closes down. It was in this way: When the Hog Rider would try to go towards a Princess Tower the Tesla would open up as it does whenever something comes in its range. Then, as we know troops like Hog Riders get distracted towards the closest building. So, the Hog Rider seeing the Tesla as it opened up would turn and run towards it. But, by the time the Hog turns towards the Tesla, it would have gone out of sight of Tesla and Tesla would close down again. Then the Hog would no longer be able to see it. But again by the time it turns back to the Tower, it would have been in the range of the Tesla would open up, distracting the hog once again. LOL!!! This process would keep on going until either the Tesla gets destroyed or something pulls the Hog out of this Circle of Confusion and puts him in some other place or tile.  This same thing happened with the innocent Golem but in a different manner. The Golem was in such a place from where an enemy Cannon and an enemy Princess Tower were at the exact same distance. Therefore, the Golem got confused about where to go first?!

3. Game Crashing Bug

This Bug was something that caused real trouble. Whenever you dropped Lightning on the Electro Giant the game immediately crashed! This also occurred when you used the one card glitch with your one and only card placed on the second card slot from the left on the top layer. Whenever you try to play that card, just like the E-giant Glitch, the game instantly crashed.

2. Side Stacking glitch

This Glitch was introduced when the Mortar Time Challenge came into the game. But this can be done in any mode with a building in the centre of the river in the Arena. But, this glitch is only applicable for ground units. In this Glitch what you have to do, is that: To stack any normal card, we need to place that card at the very side of the Arena and then before it moves, we need to clone it so that it’s clone pushes it forward and Bravo! We have successfully stacked that troop into the side of the River.  But if we wanna stack the Skeletons of Skeleton Barrel then we have to just Fireball the Skeleton Barrel once it reaches the top of the side of the river. By using these methods we can literally stack INFINITE amount of troops into that small area!!! It was a popular meme on Reddit; at first there were only a few Skeletons seen stuck in the side of the river. But once they were cloned they formed like 100 Skeletons. 

1. One Card Glitch

The One Card had 2 ways to execute it. The first one was mainly used for 1v1s but that is too complicated to understand. The second one was used for 2v2s and it was quite simpler than the first one. In this, you had to first play a regular 2v2 match and then when the match ends, you hit play again and leave the match. Then in your deck slot, you select your deck which has less than eight cards and then your partner hits play again and you magically enter the match as well with your cheesy incomplete deck! And this glitch in my opinion is one of the juiciest bugs that ever existed in Clash Royale.

This is how the deck looked in-game.

So these were the most interesting Clash Royale glitches recently. Stay tuned with us for more Clash Royale articles.

What’s going on everyone, it’s VJ here. Welcome back to another Clash Royale Article. In today’s article, we’re going to have a look at the Top 10 Game Mechanics of Clash Royale in Season 20. So let’s get going…

What are Game Mechanics?

Game Mechanics basically are some specific rules in the game, that whenever tried will give the same particular result. These are also termed Interactions. Game Mechanics also mean the tactical and non-magical/non-supernatural abilities in the Game. These abilities are mainly related to science.

10. Multi-Targeting Mechanic

This Mechanic comes in handy mainly during offensive times. In Clash Royale only 1 single card has this ability, and that is the Electro Wizard. Due to this ability of the E-Wiz, when used in the offence can target a unit while at the same time also targeting a Tower and causing a good amount of damage. Whereas in defence this Mechanic of him might be proved the other way around as in defence if he targets 2 different units his damage will split n both of them, therefore, resulting in less damage to each unit and also making it easier for the opponent to distract him.

9. Push Back Mechanic

The Push Back Mechanic of Clash Royale has 2 different types. The first one is where the unit after hitting or shooting at something pushes itself back by a few tiles. We can find this mechanic with the Firecracker and the Sparky of the Clash Royale Arena. This Mechanic is very useful as it makes it difficult for the opponent to counter the cards having this ability because when someone places a unit to counter them it might not target them or we might misplace the unit if at that time they are attacking something; they will push themselves back after shooting.

The second one is where the enemy units are pushed back due to a Spell placed by us. This mechanic is super amazing and useful. The Log and Fireball are the only 2 Spells and Cards in the whole Game that have this type of mechanic. That’s why these 2 spells are quite popular as they cause a good amount of damage to the enemy units and also push them back while at the same time forcing them to reset their target.

8. Charge Mechanic

The Charge Mechanic can be used in offence as well as defence. Prince, Dark Prince, Battle Ram and Ram Rider are the cards that can use this. When attacking these cards can be either played at the back of a tanky unit or can be directly played at the bridge or at the back in the Bridge Spam style. When its time for defence, always try to play these cards a little further so that they have time to walk 3.5 tiles before they start hitting something in order to trigger their dangerous ability. But be careful because even small units like Zap, The Log, Ice Spirit etc. can reset their charge.

7. Jump and Dash Mechanic

These 2 mechanics – Jump and Dash though might be a little different, but have the same basic concept. Only the Bandit has the Dash Mechanic and only Mega Knight has the Jump Mechanic so far in the game.

Firstly talking about Mega knight’s jump, his jump gets triggered at 2 certain situations. Number one, when you place it. Yes, you heard right no matter whenever and wherever we place MK, it spawns with a gigantic jump. And number two, when it sees a ground target within a certain range, it jumps on it. And also to mention, that, MK can be damaged and killed while in mid-jump.

Secondly, when talking about Bandit’s Dash, it’s quite different from MK’s Jump. Bandit only dashes when it sees a target within a particular range. And unlike MK, it cannot be damaged, killed, pushed back etc. while in mid – dash. This is the most unique thing about Bandit.

6. After Death Mechanic
This is one of the few mechanics that a lot of cards in the game have. This mechanic basically means that when a unit dies it leaves something behind such that, it gives a favourable advantage to the Player that played it. Here’s a complete list of all the cards that can trigger this and their abilities:

1. Lumberjack – Rage Spell
2. Giant Skeleton – Death Bomb
3. Bomb Tower – Death Bomb
4. Balloon – Death Bomb
5. Lava Hound – Lava Pups
6. Night Witch – Bats
7. Barbarian Hut – Barbarians
8. Goblin Hut – Spear Goblins
9. Goblin Giant – Spear Goblins
10. Tombstone – Skeletons
11. Canon Cart – Transforms into a smaller Canon
12. Golem – Death damage & Golemites
13. Elixir Golem – Elixir Golemites – Elixir Blobs
14. Ice Golem – Death damage & Slows down units
15. Goblin Cage – Goblin Brawler
16. Battle Ram – Barbarians

We will be covering the rest of the game mechanics in the second part of the article. Till then, enjoy the game and the new season!

What’s going on everyone, its VJ here. Welcome to another article (Article 3) of the Bad Matchups Series. Today we are going to take a look at the very orthodox archetype of Clash Royale, and that is Graveyard, or to be more particular it is Splashyard. Since there have been changes in the meta, balance changes and new cards, this specific deck, Spalshyard, has been changed and improved all way since 2017. We’re going to analyze the latest working in – meta version of it.

Deck:

Deck Overview:

Graveyard:

The win condition of this deck as you’ll know is Graveyard i.e. a total Game Changing Card. It can be played with anything which is a bit tanky, but at the right moment.

Baby Dragon:

The one and only air unit in this deck is baby dragon. It deals a good amount of splash damage and is quite tanky.

Ice Wizard:

The Ice Wizard does what it name means i.e. Magic. He magically slows down the units by 35% due to his freezing powers. Just like Wizards and Muskets, the Ice Wiz doesn’t die to fireball alone. Therefore, it helps a lot in defense.

Tornado:

When talking about defense, the Ice Wiz – Nado synergy can’t be forgotten. Tornado is a very useful card specially after its pull strength buff. It is a single 3 elixir counter for cards like Goblin Barrel, Hog Rider and even Golem (If Nado is paired with The Log). King Tower Activation is super easy with Nado in your deck.

Knight:

The most tankiest card of this deck is the Knight. It is a 3 elixir ground unit that can pretty much counter every ground unit. It will Ultra Synergize with GY due to his tankyness and high DPS.

Goblin Cage:

Goblin Cage is the defensive building in this deck. Before it, Bomb Tower was more popular in this deck. The only reason why Cage is better thnBomb Tower is because of the Body Builder Goblin Brawler that it spawns upon getting destroyed. Goblin Brawler is quite useful in defense and offense as even he is tanky enough with high DPS.

Poison:

When playing with GY, there will always be the need of a spell like Poison in it, in order to take out all the units (especially swarm) defending the GY.

Barbarian Barrel:

In basically every deck there is a need of a small spell. Here, that role is played by the Barb Barrel. It is just similar as The Log except that its range is a little shorter than Log and even its width is a bit smaller than it. But on the bright side it spawns a nasty looking Barbarian when it travels as much as its range is.

Gameplay and Strategies:

Graveyard should never be placed on the central tiles of the princess tower. It should always be placed 2 tiles towards the non – King Tower side. And when playing on the King Tower, it should be placed on one of the 2 central tiles of King Tower.

With this Splashyard deck, our main strategic plan to to win is:

• Not being too aggressive in the starting.
• Playing passive and defensive and trying to build a big push to play GY.
• You can rush with GY if you see something heavy like a Golem or Lava Hound played at the back and if you are in a good position in terms of elixir.
• Always trying to counter attack after defending things sent by the opponent.
• Being too aggressive in 2x and 3x elixir time and creating a streak of continous GY pushes.
• GY can also be used at defense when there are just a few seconds remaining and you are up in crowns/damage and there is a big push coming your way. You can directly place the Graveyard upon it or to be safe a little before it so that nothing connects to you tower because sometimes if there are a lot of units, the behind units might push the front ones and if they reach close enough to your tower some units might start targeting your tower.
• So in this way all the enemy troops and buildings will be distracted to the GY for complete 8 seconds, and the advantage here is that they cannot use any spell on it to completely kill it and stop it from distracting. Even if they use poison (the deadliest hard counter to GY), still the skeletons would spawn and keep distracting things as even Poison takes 1 sec to kill skeles.
• A King activation is always healthy against GY.

Bad Matchups:

Log Bait:

• Log Bait in my opinion is the most hard counter to Splashyard. And these days, except the classic Log Bait, the Log Bait archetype has developed into a lot of new variations like Mega Knight Log Bait, Prince Log Bait, Mortar Bait etc.
• Never be too aggressive else they can punish you hard.
• Try to keep the Cage on the map most of the time to avoid chip damage from Princesses and Dart Gobs.
• Usually a King Activation is unfavorable for GY, but in this case sometimes it is ok. Because we don’t do that, they will keep placing Princesses and Dart Gobs at the back of the King to defend the GY.

X-Bow:

• Focus more on defending X-Bows in single.
• Always try to keep the Poison ready whenever you attack with GY.

Miner WB Cycle:

• Play passively in single.
• Be ready to defend Dual Lane pushes.
• Never hesitate to switch lanes.
• More than defending the Miner, focus on defending other cards like Spear Gobs, Bats, WB or Knight as Miner alone won’t do much damage compared to when paired with these units.

THANKS FOR READING!

Hello clashers, we are here again with a new deck ‘Giant Mini Pekka’ deck. It is kind of a bridge spam deck where you have to play very aggressively and put pressure on the opponent till they break. So, without further ado, let’s get started!

Giant Mini Pekka Deck

Deck Cards

• Giant: Heavy-hitting bulky tank card, also, the main win condition, play the supporting
  troops this way that your giant can connect to their princess tower.
• Mini Pekka: For this Giant Mini Pekka deck, this card is very important and is to be properly used, because it is the only tank killer/ heavy hitter which can be used for defence.
• Magic Archer: Brings air defence to this deck by his excellent range, according to me he has the highest skill-cap in the game, it's all about who uses his geometry better.
• Miner: A tank for cards like bats and skeletons, used as a counterattack after defending a push, pairing bats with the miner makes it hard for the opponent to react as they have low elixir after attacking and thus you get positive elixir trades.
• Log: To finish the skeleton army, goblin gang which obstructs the path of your giant also
  used to pushback heavy-hitting units like Pekka for that extra giant hit.
• Zap: The reason this deck has log and Zap is because of Mini Pekka, Giant and Miner, all the swarms that give positive elixir trades to your opponent are to be destroyed and zap does that perfectly, Minions, Bats can be destroyed by Zap hence forcing your opponent to spend more elixir to defend.
• Bats: High DPS 2-elixir card, versatile but, to bait we have skeletons which are deadly on defence also, bats can be used at the offence as well when paired with a miner/giant.
• Skeletons: Mainly work as a distracting card, to make positive elixir trades on defence.

Deck Strategy

Opening: Start should be aggressive, pair Miner and Bats, or just Miner(if bats aren’t in hand). Do not push with the Giant straight without knowing their counters and cards. After you play Miner to know their cards, analyze what counters they have to your Giant and other cards and try to bait them out.
If they make the first move by playing something high cost, rush the other lane with Giant or Mini Pekka, Bats, anything you have in hand, that is the best way to make their cards unsupported and thus making it easy to counter them getting positive elixir trades. Pair your Giant with Bats, Mini Pekka and even Skeletons as your opponent cannot ignore the push and has to respond to it.
Double elixir: If After 2 minutes of the game you are not able to make any progress, the double elixir is the time, DO NOT let your opponent accumulate elixir, don’t let their bar go up to 10, always pressurize them by playing troops at the bridge, constantly rush as, if you let them build elixir up, it can easily destroy your tower because of fewer defensive capabilities in the Giant Mini Pekka deck such as Mini Pekka which can easily be distracted, Magic Archer who dies by Fireball/Poison, Bats, Skeletons, die by Zap, that is why you need to constantly push.
Endgame: After you have made a breakthrough, DO NOT ease up, if they are trying to attack your tower, attack their king tower with Giant Mini Pekka as they cannot be ignored, attacking cards in these decks, cannot be ignored while the defence is versatile, also, during defence, you need to bait their spells out to defend against their troops by your Bats, Magic Archer, Mini Pekka.

Weaknesses
1) Beatdown decks – Golem, Goblin giant, Lava Hound beatdown decks demand building up the elixir and if you let them, you are doomed XD, so don’t let that happen by rushing them the other lane which they cannot ignore and if they do, they lose their tower, now you attack their king tower for an easy 3 crown.
2) Decks having hard-hitting troops like Pekka, Mini Pekka, Prince, for this, wait till your opponent makes a mistake i.e if they play their heavy-hitting troop, rush the other lane to get damage, but, if they are wise and they play their troop only when you play your Giant, then you can always use geometry and refrain from using your Giant, instead use Miner/Bats after you bait their spell out. You have to change your mindset while you play according to your matchup, search, and analyze what your opponent cannot counter or has difficulty to counter, play that constantly.

This Giant Mini Pekka deck is pretty fun and easy to play, hoped you liked the guide and it proved useful to you. Until next time!
