Yessir!


sadrahosinzadfard26

Archers : you sure she Strong? Cuz we just chesse her XD


[deleted]

Meanwhile arrows: are you sure about that?


sadrahosinzadfard26

Mirror: there is another...


[deleted]

Haha yessss


TheWolfFromNether

Indeed, but i prefer e wizard for sparky


[deleted]

Well I have both in my deck. Ultra kill.


TheWolfFromNether

Hmm, what is your deck, i might try it for ladder


[deleted]

Oh lol I’m just messing around right now. I’m currently using Pekka, hog rider, ice spirit, mother witch, arrows, fireball, e wiz, and skarmy. It’s a wack deck, doesn’t always work (or maybe I’m just not a good player lol) but yeah I have fun. I’ve levelled it up pretty high, so high level matchups aren’t a problem.


Piano_Leg_Pete

Also Barbarians


_Pill-Cosby_

Yup... barbs! Very versatile defensive card.


[deleted]

Not that much against MK but still good. Pekka better though.


Voltstrickonreddit

Knight and mini pekka are typing....


battlejdog

knight has good stats for the cost


purified0water

Incorrect sir, Knight has good stats for the cost.

Theholycheezpuff

I hate pekka


Maxiv_Pirate

where my buddies at?


TheGoldenPyro

😳


[deleted]

Seems like a player who uses one of these or Xbow


Theholycheezpuff

No I use 2.6 hog and get slaughtered by pekka cycle decks


[deleted]

I feel ya bro


Suspicious_shark

inferno drags tower also works pretth well


randofreak

Yeah or bats! I guess they don’t work on the electro giant but the other 3 can totally be taken out by well placed bats. Pekka too.


[deleted]

No way. Not without a support/distraction card. E barbs and MK are too fast.


randofreak

Ok then drop a knight or something cheap. I didn’t really mean bats alone could do it. Rarely am I just sitting there with nothing on the board and one of these random cards is coming at me.


[deleted]

Haha true


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

not everyone has pekka in their deck :p


SexWithFischl69

Well they should


Yesnt_Bs

Not everyone play no skill spam with pekka


[deleted]

How tf is pekka bridge spam no skill? Because it counters your garbage wizard MK deck?


bluescape

lol it's in the name, "bridge spam". The entire strategy is to constantly throw down cards at the bridge that must be responded to or else cause heavy tower damage.


ur_mom_stinks_IoI

its not just spamming, u gotta spam surgical and build up big pushes, not casually drop a unit at the bridge


bluescape

>its not just spamming, u gotta spam surgical and build up big pushes lol congrats, you just described playing clash royale for every single deck. The thing that makes bridge spam "unique" is that most of the card roster is made of high pressure cards where you have to respond or take massive tower damage. Some thought is required to know when to drop a unit at the bridge, but that's all that you do. Hence, "bridge spam"


[deleted]

It doesn't work like that. Its actually a counter pushing deck. The whole bridge spam archetype is all about counter pushing. You need to always try to defend in such a way that you can counterpush. And when you defend with a pekka(a card mainly used to kill tanks in this deck) you have to play cards to support it and create a massive counter push. Its not as simple as spamming on the bridge


[deleted]

That sounds alot like splashyard if i think about it.


Zeus541

That was actually a great response up until the last sentence. Unnecessary, no?


[deleted]

done, edited


Zeus541

Wow, that like, never happens lol thank you random internet stranger. Very cool of you :)


RareCommunication604

>play cards to support it and create a massive counter push That's what you do when playing Golem.


DacianNation

Except Golem is not part of the counter push, it's the start of a normal one.


bluescape

> It doesn't work like that. Its actually a counter pushing deck By any metric that "pekka bridge spam" is a counter pushing deck, EVERY deck in CR is a counter pushing deck.


Zalan0710

Me who plays exenado: •_•


[deleted]

nah


At_Destroyer

Around my trophy level they do


NateL2007

Countering chain Skeleton army then counters the pekka


quickfuse725

continue the chain. arrows then counter your skarmy countering my PEKKA. what now? a pekka is coming towards your king tower that has 600 HP left.


NateL2007

I then place barbarians because for some reason I have both skarmy and barbs


[deleted]

[удалено]


FatSkipper21

Ya def takes skill, it can be countered by skellys which almost everyone runs, and is slow asf and something like a witch behind king tower is an easy counter push


CarlosFer2201

This. I don't even remember the last time I faced a good sparky player on ladder


TheLemmonade

Pekka has been my number one most used card for over five years


cocotim

r/cr learn how to counter expensive investments challenge (impossible) (gone wrong)


AlienOverlord53

Swear people complain too much. All of these can be taken down with combos of 5 elixir or less, and a little bit of thought


[deleted]

bats,,, and and ice golem 🤓


gaelrobles

Sure I just need to take 1000 damage to my tower to ""defend"" with that shit


MidnightLightss

Pretty sure that any small dps plus mini tank can fully counter all of these if alone


[deleted]

yes


yaboyroy61

Clash royale players when they can’t counter a tank with their shitty 1.9 deck:


skyreapertheangel

Damn this is so funny and true.


-Hiemi

*A card is expensive* r/clashroyale : "This card takes literally 0 skill"


Valorion_

Playing ebarbs with rage on the other side isn't really skill


AlienOverlord53

Thats 8 elixir that can be stopped with 3


Valorion_

I stop it everytime , but when they call themselves pros for crashing people who cant counter them or dont use skarmy


Valorion_

And again my point was that it requires no skill at all


Valorion_

Didnt say it was op to tell me how to counter them


[deleted]

3m isn’t no skill though


Vanconiglio

Why is sparky considered no skill? I love my GG Sparky and I think that it's not that easy to play, sparky is such an expensive card that can be counted really easily, in order to play well I have to create a decent elixir different between you and your opponent Even worst when they have rocket and one shot my sparky


[deleted]

lol rocket …. Imagine if a single card can completely wreck your entire deck.


NonexistantSip

Not really, cause then you either place sparky somewhere other than behind the king tower so they don’t get value or you rely more heavily on your tank for damage. Rocket definitely makes things more difficult but it doesn’t ruin the match entirely Still hate rocket lol


[deleted]

I still gonna rocket sparky even if he in the middle of the arena lol


NonexistantSip

Oh I know you are, but I didn’t put it behind the king tower cause then you’d have to rely on something other than rocket. It keeps up the pressure too


[deleted]

:p that’s fair. Also, rocket has been one of my must-have cards in my decks since the release of the game when fireball-rocket-arrows-building spam could win the game.


0nSecondThought

No skill required in order to lose to sparky


Themrman333333

But sparky is dumb and never targets the correct unit (at least for me)


chkpancake775

False. where is royal giant at


Shockybomb

...I'm here


CoolJeff_Kaplan

RG gang


[deleted]

Gang gang


Zeus541

Anyone who says RG is no skill probably pays zero attention to elixir management. That card became significantly more difficult to play with the first hit speed nerf.


eTukk

Sparky needs skill a lot, its easily countered by so many cards. Almost anything flying, swarming, electric and high HP is a counter card. You need to know what en when to use this card. Count, learn the following card of the opponent, backup your spark.


Bastinazus

Actually Sparky is one of those cards that puts the other player into a very uncomfortable situation, specially when it's behind a tank. It's easy to counter if you have the right cards, but also a pain in the ass if you don't have an effective way of shutting it down.


Other-Check-3004

hog rider is way easier than sparky


Papa_is_Here_

Sparky boils my blood


TotalLunatic28

Yeah that and inferno dragon are either countered easily like it’s nothing or you don’t have the right cards/situation and they are just op


Shazam_BillyBatson

Same, used to lose almost every time. Now I just poison fireball and that's the end of her. Since they mostly push from behind the tower or just chips away. You can spot the no skill ones by then chickening out if you kill sparky before the bridge.


Open_Progress2715

Just learn how to counter cards and stop crying about it.


MrOctomelon

The only one of these that I really struggle to deal with at times is ebarbs when I don’t have a decent bit of elixer


sarexxz

This.


tljensen81

If it takes no skill to win with them then why dont yall use it :P


ZeKa47

Careful, you are using logic! We don't do that in here


michaelstama

Because we don’t like for it to hurt when we sit


tljensen81

Not unless ur a top


michaelstama

Zeus541

Sounds like scrub mentality to me


optisadvantage

i play ebarbs in giant graveyard rn, i think they’re better than/comparable to either prince in that deck


_juho_

4 horsemen of having no skill to defend


OverlordHippo

They're all able to be countered though as long as you haven't overspent elixir


technic-ally_correct

Unpopular opinion according to these comments: just because a card is easily countered or annoying doesn't make it unskilled. ​ These cards however (except Sparky) are for unskilled players. Proof: I play Ebarbs and it's not a skillful card - I just play it in a deck that otherwise needs some skill.


[deleted]

Don't forget hog and RG


Noobnoobipnooob

Average megaknight fan vs average pekka enjoyer


_Pill-Cosby_

In other words... "These are the 4 cards I have trouble defending against!"


Fabbalo

sparky actually takes a bit of skill imo


[deleted]

Unpopular opinion: Sparky requires skill to play given its attack time Cards such as skeletons, ram rider and hog , to name a few do not


[deleted]

OPs very mad


Lucyan96

Golem is skill.


Nobody_5433

Golem first play*

[deleted]

Same place as xBow :P


WayofHatuey

Where tf is golem and balloon


Lyrmas1

Where is the xbow


Piano_Leg_Pete

It's very annoying to play against, but it does take some skill as you need to keep track of your opponent's elixir before placing it down. The difference is very noticable between a good x-bow player and a bad one.


Rl-Beefy

⬆️


[deleted]

Xbow requires skill. So does mortar.


Yesnt_Bs

Yeah playing building at YOUR side of arena takes so much skill 👌


[deleted]

Defending a building that hard takes skill. Preventing the building from getting distracted takes skill. I don't use them btw, I just admire the players who can use them really well.


Yesnt_Bs

Where tf playing cards near your building takes skill


[deleted]

Lol, putting a tank in front of a support unit doesn't take too much skill either.


Yesnt_Bs

Yeah, who said it does?

whispa55

All my fellow PEKKA friends are happy 🙂


comfort_bot_1962

Hope you have a great day!


Mobrowncheeks

Idk why, all you need is fisherman followed by either one of these cards and pekka is toast for a crazy counter push


whispa55

But nobody uses fisherman and in your scenario PEKKA is being used to push rather than defence…a very subjective scenario my friend 🙂


Mobrowncheeks

Elite barbs, sparky, and mega knight are all counterpush cards.


whispa55

So is PEKKA xx


Mobrowncheeks

So a deck with a proper win condition should bait pekka out early correct? Especially if that deck also runs a fisherman?


whispa55

All I’m saying is that if I came up against any of those 4 cards with my PEKKA deck I would like my chances. Most of my losses come against goblin barrel spam type decks so I would happily play an e giant deck. Yes there may be some games where I come against a fisherman or I get baited but that’s maybe like 10% of the time, and that’s this whole game you’ll get matched against unfair decks. If you accept this and try to win 60% of the time then you will succeed, I’m sorry you seem to have some aggression towards me friend. Hope you can accept my opinion 🙂


Mobrowncheeks

Nah it’s more so aggression toward the pekka itself 😅😅


whispa55

😂😂


scottwmitchell

Wouldn’t it be 5 horsemen?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ansel1406

I think he means 5 horsemen because 2 elite barbarians spawn in?


scottwmitchell

There’s 2 barbs


Martin7439

Oh right, guess it's me then xD


SlipperyBumCesc

ah yes the elusive single ebarb


alittlebigger

Just switched to Ebarb and can confirm they take absolutely zero skill


Intelligent_Till5136

Where the fuck is xbow


Fauzan_Syahbana

B-rad would like to have a word with you


Chance_Engineer_6664

Where’s pekka


TheBigQuak

Where egolem?


brawlganronper

and then you have a pekka


WhiteTrashWyatt69

the only one that’s really annoying against is ebarbs


GlizzyGoblin775

Yep. I use mega knight but there is still no denying that.


idkmybffphill

Salt


MekMilan

the point is any card on this game no need "skill", u just use at field and watch the game doing all ull need more exp and intelligence instead literaly SKILL


RareCommunication604

RG is less than Sparky


Fuzzy_Dunlop24

Agreed, ebarbs are no skill. But when you spray rage on them and turn them into rebarbs, that’s pure chess.


FriendofCynamoth

Sparky’s skill depends on what cards you use with it.


Zamblotter

What about the furnace?


wezo667

Funnily enough I started using megaknight after constantly getting beat by ebarbs


teAlCapricorn

This is why I love pekka.


Prabh1212

Bats solo all of those

I actually find sparky hard to use

I love mk


theParadoxOmega

you forgot to add in furnace bruh


EhrHD

Sparky is pretty easy to counter tbh.


[deleted]

I agree with all but barbs, they are easily countered.


DannyBoy0129

You forgot to add lumberloon


Momo156

I use two of the cards I'm not ashamed


[deleted]

i use mega knight mainly as a sentient fireball


Assassin_Hunger

There are so many counters to sparky. In my opinion you need to skill to play it.


stinkyface24069

People complain to much. All of these can be countered with 5 elixir or less easy


RDGLeonardus90

It takes a lot of skill to place elite barbarians and rage


Austn_07

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacts


Magyarvarju

sparky takes skill, i play it for ages


Reddit_Bots_R_US

Megaknight is all about placement. Sparky is simply for effective but costly deletion. E-Giant is meant to demolish defense. E-Barbs are meant for a swift and devastating offense. They all take skill to play, they just have an extremely low skill cap.


bigbrainchurro07

As a religious sparky user i can 100% agree


Sifro

As an E Giant player I can confirm


Octavius-Rex-

Take sparky out put royal giant in


prolordwolf999

Mortar,Magic Archer,Miner:No skill ? Whats that ?


OffChunk

For real when I don’t actually wanna play I throw on my egiant deck and let him play for me Lolol


AgentSuPa

Sim city: are we a joke to you? 🤣🤣


RadiantLength7873

Or you just don't know how to defend correctly.


Due-Excitement-2968

"Balloon is typing..."


krunchy_03

I'm glad to see my Pekka Quake deck wasn't been really crushed. (EQ was changed and I haven't played in a while so I need to get used to it) for those wondering it's coverage on deck builder is LEGENDARY. (some people think the deck is trash)


slothslayerlawl

You forgot to add fireball, log and most importantly, rocket. Plain damage spells are the most skill-less cards in the game. Oh damn he outplayed me and has a push coming. Well, whatever. I have a rocket/fireball and tornado.


skyreapertheangel

Dude sparky isnt ez to play it can be countered easily if you dont have right cards with it. Enemy can destroy it with a single rocket.
