    oohh

    also, I got the princess last night

    kind of underwhelming, but maybe I'm mistaken

    I really use the log a lot now

    The log is great, the princess can be very good for swarms and for dealing chip damage to towers.

    The princess is amazing if you can protect her; put something big and tanky in front and drop her a ways behind the line.

    and this sig. and this twitch stream.

    Or use her for virtually guaranteed chip damage. 140 per shot for 3 mana ain't too bad. Sometimes you get two shots off as a bonus, plus force them to play a card to counter.

    And it only gets worse. Whenever someone beats me above 3k, I can pretty much guarantee they will spam the cry emote, which is even more egregious considering I never emote so I don't know why they feel like they need to rub it in.

    Just like in Hearthstone, I automatically mute the other player every time, I don't even think about it any more.

    She's not a game winner, but she's a strong support for every push and a great positive trade for swarms. Often I will place her in the opposite lane to the one I'm pushing - if she gets one hit on Minion Horde, the tower will take care of the rest, which puts you up 2 elixir, then your opponent also has to drop something else in the opposite lane to take care of Princess, giving you a further elixir advantage as well as leaving your counter-attack unopposed.

    Also right now the Skeleton army is the most used card in the game, and's a hard counter to it - she's a great alternative to Log as long as you place her properly, because you counter the Skarmy and still have a unit on the field.

    Last but not least she's great support for an unexpected counter attack. When I use Mini-Pekka to shut down a Hog Rider for example, and he's charging at the enemy tower alone, I usually drop a Princess near the bridge because the opponent will almost always use a low cost low HP card to stop MP. I take a lot of a towers surprising the opponent like that, and there's nothing more heartbreaking than executing the perfect Hog defense and seeing your Mini Pekka get shut down by 1 elixir skeletons.

    It's amazing how few special offers they have besides the bundle you get at each Arena. I'm not buying your gems for regular price Clash Royale, that is never happening.

    Next two cards after Heal:

    Bats - Common - 2 elixir: Basically 5 flying skeletons
    Night Witch - Legendary - 4 Elixir: Basically the Witch that summons bats instead of skeletons and has a hard hitting melee attack instead of a ranged aoe.

    I can't see Night Witch being that great, but bats are going to be a staple in zap bait and cycle decks.

    How it worked for me when I was ranking up is that I'd get stuck near the top of an Arnea, break through for a day, go back and forth for a while then work my way safely into the next arena. You'll get there. My only suggestion is that if you're missing cards from arena 8 next time you make it there give yourself a break and get a few of the free arena 8 chests so you can unlock any cards you're missing. Besides that just keep playing and refining your deck and your matchups you'll move up

    Yeah the most important thing is to unlock cards since you can always ask for them from the rest of the clan. Also if you're almost at rank 8 or whatever make sure you have an open chest slot so when you break the threshold you can get the next arena up chest to open. You get a little more gold and a few more cards but more importantly you get the opportunity to get the next arena cards.

    Apparently they're announcing a global esports league for Clash Royale. The Crown Championship Global Series means that there will be more organized esports for the game which should be excellent to generate interest! It will be season based (it has already started in Korea/Japan/China) and will be accessible to all later this year.

    Knight
    Princess
    Miner
    Log
    Ice Wizard
    Minions
    Fire Spirits
    Zap

    I'd say I win maybe 40% of the time or so. I'm also almost constantly against people that are a level or two higher than I am

    touchdown is hilariously broken. whichever team has hog rider wins unless they're really really bad.

    I'm only missing level 10 cards, Night Witch, and Electric Wizard now. My princess, inferno dragon, and ice wizard are level 2 and I have my knight to level 11

    Yeah at least you can switch quests once a day. I went from a quest where you need to play like 50 2 cost cards and got basically a "log in every day for 5 days for stuff" quest. I finished the first 'medal' quest to get a golden chest but now I need to get a few hundred and I'll get a magical chest which is nice.

    I really enjoy touchdown it's silly. Hog Rider is really good but I really like the cannon cart they do good damage and they're really fast I've won multiple times through cannon carts destroying small minions and then rolling into the end zone
