Clash Royale Heal Spell : New META Incoming?

The long waited Heal Spell finally released today. With the Heal Draft Challenge Supercell let the gamers to get a jump start with heal spell. Heal spell is one arena 10 (Hog Mountain) card, rare in genre and cost only 3 elixirs, which I think is very good in value. Proper use of heal spell can bring a massive destruction to the opponent player in the arena!

Lets take a look at the description -

Heal your troops to keep them in the fight! Friendly troops are healed over time while in the target area. Doesn't affect buildings.

We already have a good concept of heal from Clash of Clans and seeing it on Clash Royale will surely bring some smiles in our faces. Today in this article we will talk about how heal spell can change the current meta in Clash Royale. Probably we will be seeing some heavy troops paired with  newly launched heal spell.

 Important info about Heal 

• Comparing with Poison, Heal will always be a positive elixir trade, because it will quickly heal more hp than the damage of poison. But equivalent level of poison will do more damage over time.
• Heal spell is very effective against the fireball, only if the troop survives the hit.
• Heal will not do anything to a troop that has been destroyed completely. Then on that moment heal will be totally useless.

Which cards are good to pair with Heal?

Basically the troops which we use to push are good to pair only if the troop has good Hp. Troops like Giant, Prince, Loons, 3 Musketeers, Royal Giant, Elite Barbs, Inferno Dragon etc can do massive hits if they are healed properly. I'll be writing more detailed usage of Heal Spell in next articles.

How this new card will affect the current META?

The nerf of Royal Giants, Elite Barbs may bring smiles to some face but now it will vanish again! Pairing with heal, troops like Royal Giant, Hog Rider, 3 Musketeers will do massive damage. Well in some cases, one push will destroy one arena tower. I've personally faced 3 musketeers with heal, even though I had fireballed it, the heal spell brought the HP back, and guess what? I was doomed! During the heal draft challenge, I used heal with Giant, it worked great. I have also experienced Poison vs Heal on 3 Musketeers. So, in the tournament level, heal spell will be very useful. Now, expect to face Heal with Royal Giant/3 Musketeers/Balloon etc more often.

Let us know in the comments section what do you think about this awesome new card!

All You Need to Know About the Future of Clash Royale Clan Battles

About one month ago Supercell introduced the Clan Battle feature in Clash Royale. Unlike the tournaments, the Clan Battle is a massive success. From the very first time to the current time, the clan got a huge response. At the launch of this feature, we have noticed that SuperCell had to add more servers for it because of the huge response the feature has got. day by day they are implementing more improvements in Clash Royale and we can hope for more cool features in the game. Today in this article, we will talk about the future of Clash Royale Clan Battles.

So what can we expect from Supercell about this feature? Can we expect this to be a permanent feature? or maybe some clan exclusive stuff with this team battle? wee, for your info, a few days back, in a Dev Q&A session, Supercell has hinted us about some good future of Clan battle or team battle.

Submitted by jhove5010 from reddit: With everyone loving clan battles, is there a good chance they will completely replace the normal clan chests?

We've talked about that, but I wouldn't say there's a "good chance" of it happening. We'd like to try and always run a special Challenge over the Clan Chest weekend, so ideally it becomes more fun and a bit easier to contribute towards. On the other hand, the Clan Battle Chest is awesome and we're exploring ways to make it a bigger part of the game.

What we can get from this, that Supercell is working hard for making this team battle better in the near future. We can take the "Good Chance" as YES. Not only this, but they are also working on it for more engagement from the Clash Royale gamers.

Additionally, I would also like to add that, in the future Supercell may add more players in the Clan battles. Take a look on the April fool prank that Supercell posted.

— Clash Royale (@ClashRoyale) April 1, 2017

According to some people, this april fool prank by Supercell is totally useless, but is it really useless? Well, this is just their experiment, probably they are working on larger team battles. We will be able to see that in time! Lets hope, the future of Clash Royale is going to be awesome with the clan abttle feature! What do you guys think? let me know in the comments below!

• Read - Why Emotes are important in Clash Royale

Why Emotes are very Important in Clash Royale?

Emotes are one of the unique features of Clash Royale. There are lots of players who are greatly addicted to these emotes while some hates using these emotes. But of course these emote are important in a game like Clash Royale. Currently, there are 4 emotes in Clash Royale evoking different emotions. These are - 

• Thumbs Up Emote - This one generally means you are doing good and the game is going good. It also signifies good luck.
• The Crying Emote - While some people use it for proper use, some use it ironically. When you are destroying your opponent, if your opponent uses it then it will be proper use, like he/she has nothing to stop you. But after destroying your opponent if you use this opponent then that will be the ironic use of this emote.
• The Angry Emote -  Like the title says, it generally evokes the anger emotion, if you are angry with your opponent you can use it. Normally people use it for the right purpose.
• The Laughing Emote - This is the most irritating emote if you are losing a game. This is also used to piss off the opponents.

There are also additional comments that a player can additionally use to complement or to piss off his/her opponent. The fact is, these emotes, emotes really important for this game. According to supercell - 

Adding an option to mute, or delete, emotes is a highly requested change. However, we have no plans to implement this feature, and we want to explain why.

One of our core design principles is: Cards that evoke strong emotions are the best thing for Clash Royale. Cards such as Sparky, the Royal Giant and the X-Bow are great examples. They evoke strong positive and strong negative emotions from people. We don't want cards that are just "good" or "OK." We want cards that people will love - and inevitably when someone loves a card, someone else will hate it. These are the cards that create the most interesting conversations and will keep Clash Royale fun and fresh for years to come!

The same principle - evoking strong emotions - is at the heart of why we're not planning to implement a mute option. Emotes are loved by some and hated by others - even within the Clash Royale team! We believe these strong emotions are integral to the core of the game.

Clash Royale is not a single player game and shouldn't feel like one. Emotes are an important reminder that you're facing another human being - maybe they're a nice guy, maybe they're not - but there's a person at the other end of the Arena and not a robot. You can communicate with them and they can respond, regardless of language or cultural barriers.

So there is no chance that Supercell will be removing this feature in the future. Additionally, we can get some more emotes which will be pretty cool for sure.

The Log : Is It Really a Legendary Card?

In the last Clash Royale update, Supercell has added two new legendary cards, The Lumberjack and The Log. In comparison with the old 5 legendary cards, the Lumberjack is fine but what about the Log? Is it really worth as a legendary card?

Some known and Unknown facts about the Legendary Log

• This card unlocks at the Builders Workshop.
• It is an area damage spell.
• The range of this card is 9.6 tiles.
• The Log was created by The Lumberjack

First take a look at the description and stat of this cheapest legendary card.

The description says -

"A spilt bottle of Rage turned an innocent tree trunk into 'The Log'. Now, it seeks revenge by crushing anything in its path!"

And here is the statistics -

Now take a look at the pros of this Legendary Log

• The best use of this card is, it can kill princess most of the time which will give 1 positive elixir trade.
• The Log can push back most of the troops on its way and if the target is proper then it will even hit the arena towers and do a little damage.
• When opponent has gathered a lots small elixir troops then thats the best time to use The Log.

Now take a look at the cons of this card

• It can not touch air troops, which is pretty bad.
• The Log can not properly kill most of the troops which has good HP. Only the pushing back of the other troops will not help all time as this is a legendary card.
• This goes in a straight line, so it will not touch the troops which are not in that straight line.

Now, the main discussion comes, is the legendary mark on this card really do justice to its name and usefulness? As a cheap card, this card is good only to push back opponent's troops and killing the evil princess which can outrange your arena towers! But only this much use is good to be in your deck? I guess NO!

In comparison with another cheap spell card, Zap, which is one of the most used common cards, it is nothing! attacking both air and ground troops and hitting anywhere in the arena makes the zap really useful. Where as we cant use The Log in same purpose.

In comparison with another spell card, Arrows, the log cant hits air troops. Both has different area of effect and both cant be used instantly. But killing the Air troops will surely make the difference.

So, in my opinion, this Legendary log doesnt really has its value as a legendary card, atleast for now! But who knows that Supercell wont bring some changes and make it a very useful one? Till then, it will stay out of the battle deck I guess?

6 Reasons Why You Will Choose Clash Royale Over Clash of Clans?

Clash of Clans is still the most trending game on Apple store and Google Play Store. This one game made Super cell famous and they are earning huge amount of money from the game. Few months ago Clash Royale appeared on the stores. While many of the gamers think that Clash of Clans is far better than Clash Royale but I'll say Clash Royale is much better. In this article, I'm going to explain why Clash Royale is far better than Clash of Clans and the reasons I'll show, you can not disagree with them.

Here are the following reasons behind my legendary statement -

1. Clash Royale is much more time saving than Clash of Clans
2. In Clash Royale you will not have any headache of getting looted of using your valuable time to raid other bases which not only gives satisfaction but also saves a lot of time.
3. In Clash Royale you can do friendly battles which is very good thing to improve your gaming skills.
4. In Clash you dont have to wait for troops to train, you only need the card to be unlocked. After than you can play the game until you feel tired. No wait time for troops.
5. Clash Royale is much more challenging than Clash of Clans. After a certain amount of trophy, kids cant make progress which will make fair matchmaking at higher arena. 
6. You can try different strategies, different combos which is a great fun to experiment in the game.

I know the points Ive stated here, you cant disagree. So if you can't win then do not complain. Just have faith and do more practice. Clash Royale is much more fun than you can think!

How to Push Trophies Effectively in Clash Royale: Know The Simple Matchmaking System

Pushing trophies is the main concern for the Clash Royale players. Like getting better decks, better cards there are another important thing you should know about. Just like the dealing with Lose Streak, there's an effective way to push trophies in Clash Royale. In this article, I'll explain to you how you can push your trophies effectively.

Have you read my article about Dealing with Lose Streak? The mechanism here is almost same. When you win 3 or 4 battles in a row at a time, you are generally get matched with tougher or stronger opponents with the cards that are generally can easily counter yours. Even though you win the game, on next game you will be matched with another tough opponent than you. The fact behind this is, when you win a couple of games in a row in a single session of playing, the game meta shifts and because of that, you get matched with those stronger opponents. The only way not to make this happen is to play the game in a regular interval. For example, If you want to play a total of 20 games, then play the game in 3 or 4 sessions. If you play 20 games at a time then there are more chances that you'll lose more games than if you had played in 3 or 4 sessions. This total concept might sound awkward to you, but I've realized this. Not only me, I've asked my clan mates to confirm this and gladly they agreed with me that playing the game in a regular interval helped them to push trophies much better. I've even asked few friends on other clans, some of them agreed and some didn't. Well, if you want you can try it yourself. I'm quite sure, you'll get better pushing after using these simple tactics.

According to SuperCell, the matchmaking system is solely based on your total trophies. From the official statement -

 Although they haven't confirmed any other info about it but there are some hidden secrets. Take look at this Reddit discussion -

According to the post creator, being a level 5, He's getting matched with higher level opponents but in every 10 games, he is getting matched with the same level. What does that mean? That means there are players like you who are having the same amount of trophies at a low level but Super Cell is not making the match. Because they don't want you to push trophies so easily. That's the hidden fact behind their Simple statement!

Just use the way I mentioned and you'll be able to recognize the difference!

How Average Elixir Cost Affects Your Winning Chance in Clash Royale

Average elixir cost of your battle deck is one of the most vital part of the game Clash Royale. Average elixir can change your whole game. You will either do good or bad according to your deck and your deck performance depends on your average elixir. Today in this article, I'm going to explain you some basics on how this will affect your winning or losing chances of a battle.

If we divide the battle decks among few categories according to average elixir then we will get the followings -

Super Low elixir Decks

 Super low elixir decks are those decks which has below 3.0 average elixir. This one is just a sample of the super low elixir deck. If you use this kind of deck then you have very low chance of winning the game as you will not have high damage dealing troop on your deck. You have small fast troops which can help to to spawn many troops at a time but if the opponent hit with arrow or fireball then its gone! you are all clear. With this kind of deck, if you want to win then you have to destroy opponent tower in the first 3 minutes. You have no chances in 2x elixir period. 

Average Low Elixir Deck

Average low elixir decks are those ones which has average elixir cost upto 3.5 This is an example of a good average low elixir deck. This type of decks are good for defending but you are probably going to lose with the heavy elixir decks if you can not destroy the opponent tower within first 3 minutes, With this kind of decks you can target one tower only. Winning chances are fair with this kind of deck, In the 2x elixir period it will be hard for you to maintain your opponent if they have heavy elixir troops.

Average Good Elixir Deck

This decks are probably the best ones to have. These decks are counted upto 4.4. These average good elixir decks are pretty much balanced and you can spawn your troops fairly well. You can both both and defend very well with this kind of decks. Winning chances are good but you have to be careful with heavy elixir decks in the 2x elixir period. With the low elixir decks, you chances of winning is more than ninety percent.

Average High Elixir Decks

Average high elixir decks are those which have more than 4.4 average elixir. This decks works very well in the 2x elixir period. With this deck you can push great but defending is quite hard, So till the 2x elixir period just defend yourself and then you can start pushing and you can hope for 3 crown victory. However, with the Average good elixir deck, your chances of winning is equal.

How Clash Royale is Affecting Our Lives?

Its not very long, Clash Royale has gone global. Like their other superhit game Clash of Clans, this game has also got massive popularity. But there are certain things that are different between the two games. Not only the gameplay, Im talking about the effect that Clash Royale puts on us.

No doubt the game is fun but this game effect our mind heavily specially when we face a losing streak and I think everyone has faced that already. You might me thinking what Im talking about, but after reading this article completely you'll atleast agree with me at some points.

• Just when you get win streak and feel confident about your skill just then you start getting loss streak. Demoralized!
• People say you need to stop playing because your anger changes your judgement, but what about getting a loss streak being so calm? demoralized!
• You are having a nice beautiful day, just when your notification arrives about Crown chest. Now you started pvp and strted getting loss streak. Your beautiful day shattered instantly. Demoralized!
• You entered top 200 local with full chests. You posted about that on your social profiles, good comments from people made you feel really nice. Now chest slots are free and you have to fight, but u started getting loss streak! you are out of top 200 now. Demoralized!
• You are dreaming of wonderful things at night. Notification arrives for chest is ready to open. You only need 1 crown to unlock Crown chest but then you are getting loss streak. Now you can not sleep at the middle of the night. Demoralized!
• You are working at your office and feeling really productive at work. Notification arrives for crown chest. Loss streak started! Now your mood is shattered. Your productivity at work is affected. Demoralized!

The fact is, not every point will happen together but at some point you have already faced any of the mentioned points. Though this is just a game and meant to give us fun but Clash Royale gives us both. Literally, this equals both the happiness and sadness cycle. Don't you think so?

How the New Balance Changes Will Affect the Game?

SuperCell is bringing their first round of balance changes after the global release. It is about 2 weeks that the game has gone global and it this short period of time the game has got massive popularity. Now what we can expect from Super Cell that they will work on this game to make it even better. Now see they are on the right track.

The most important change in the upcoming update is the Xbow nerf . Xbow is hated my many players cause using the defensive deck with xbox needs no skills actually. Just defense with tesla and bomb tower covering the xbox and it can destroy the opponent tower easily. Now the new update will decrease the range of xbow which will probably decrease the xbow use among the players, unless you use xbow only for your own defense.

Another important change is the decreasing of the charge speed of Prince. Prince is one is the most used troop in the Clash Royale history. Now Super Cell is doing a good work on it. After the update Prince will take more time to charge up which is a good news indeed. Now the Prince users have to make his prince run a long way to have the 2x damage. Same nerfing for Dark Prince. Both uses same breed od hoses, so it sounds interesting anyway!

The very popular Tesla is also getting nerf, Those who do not use tesla, know it well that it is very irritating for them. Their troops get distracted easily for the tesla. Now the nerf of tesla will bring some interesting battles. Poison spell is getting more damage so we may see more use of it next.

Witch and Giant damage increase is a very good news too. The offense over defense will now work nice. The Valkariya is getting pumped with increased hitpoints and damage. The rage spell is being more balanced now with more rage and time decrease.

The slow Royal Giant is getting more damage now which may make us see more use of this card in the game. Another great change is the Balloon pwer increase and the archer's quick attack.

Read the full update changelog by clicking here

Well the changes are perfect for now and this will make some interesting changes in the decks of many players. The defensive Xbow players will come out of their shell. Super cells offense over defense will work better and I'm eagerly waiting to see the interesting battles after the changes. What about you? Let me know in the comments below!

Giant vs Giant Skeleton: Merits and Demerits

Its almost a month, Clash Royale is available globally. The gamers are offered with a good amount of cards to choose from. Among them the Giant and the Giant Skeleton are the two cards at the starting which can really change the wave of the game.

Now lets talk about how they can change the wave of the game?

Giant

The giant card is one of the most used cards at the beginning. If Giant is used with protection from the back then the push is hard to stop and it will probably bring you one crown for sure. Now lets discuss the merits and demerits of our favorite giant.

Merits : Giant is generally used as a tank to soak up all the incoming damages. It can help you to push the opponent from your side to their side till the giant is live. The durable giant is also a good hitter only if has protection.

Demerits : While the giant can do heavy damages, but you must protect it with any of your troops. The giant is comparatively slow than the other troops witch will let your opponent to get prepared for your upcoming push. Giant can also be easily distracted with other defense buildings like canon, Bomb tower. 

Giant Skeleton
In the other hand Giant Skeleton goes with a different attribute. The Giant Skeleton generally used for stopping a push on your side. Its one of the best defensive troop you can have. Though it is a good defensive troop, you can also use it for taking out your enemy tower sometimes. Whenever you'll spawn it on the bridge, the opponent will surely feel how to distract this huge Skeleton. The danger after death is much more than while it is live.

Merits : The best use of it is to stop a push. Whenever enemy is getting to ur side with heavy amount of troops, just spawn it and it will be all clear! Pretty much interesting, isn't it? I guess so.

Demerits : On the bad side, we can say that, the elixir coast is not so good. 6 elixirs mean a lot in this game. Another bad side of Giant Skeleton is that, it get distracted easily. So your opponent can easily move it to another direction which will be total loss of your 6 elixirs.

Final Verdict : Well, its hard to choose between this 2 types of giants. But mainly depends on your troop combination. Keep one thin on your mind that, If you are going to keep Giant skeleton on your deck then you have to keep some high damage point troops like Prince or Hog. But with Giant on your deck, it is not that much necessary as with the other deck. You can rely on protecting your giants and he will do the rest!

So, what are your opinions about this 2? Sound off in the comments below!

Gold Digger: The Best Way to Use Money or Gems in Clash Royale

Many people get confused with the Money spending system on this game. However, Supercell has their own way to deal with things and to make money from their awesome games. At the beginning of this game, most of the players don't really know how to use their existing gems of how they can use their money on a proper way if they are thinking of spending money on this game. In this article I am going to write about the most efficient way of using money or gems in Clash Royale.

If you are thinking to spend less than 50$

- The best way for the players who are thinking to spend less than 50$ are to buy Golds with that small amount of money (well, this money is not little but yeah it is nothing for the big fatty gold diggers). If you buy the golds then you'll probably take the best decision for the long run, rather than buying Magical or Super Magical chests from the shop. If you have the golds then you can buy the cards you need or you can save the golds for the upgrades of the card. But buying chests may not satisfy you, because you never know which cards you will get from the chest you are buying.


If you are thinking to spend more than 50$ - If you fall into this category that means you are very rich and going to max out everything with your fat amount of cash. The amount of this type of players are low but yes, there are players like this who uses a huge amount of money to max out everything overnight. So, if you are thinking to spend this much amount then you should go for buying the Super Magical chest again and again and also the best gold package for future use. This way probably you will max out everything very easily and this will help you to get into the Legendary Arena without having much defeats.


If you are thinking to spend nothing - well you fall into the most common category who are casual gamers. You have to spend your gems and golds very carefully. save up your gems to grab the card from the shop(if you do not have enough gold that moment) that you need. You can also pile up your gems for making the 10,000 gold purchase which comes for 500 gems. Pretty good deal indeed.

So readers, what are your opinions? Let me know in the comments below!

Will Clash Royale Overtake Clash of Clans in Future?

SuperCell is one of the best known mobile game developers. Few years back, they made our loving game Clash of Clans which is still the top grossing game in Google Play and Apple store. No doubt that the Clash of Clans game is massively popular among all the ages of people around the globe. The game is top grossing in app stores from last 2 years  which proves the popularity of the game.

2 weeks ago, the mobile game making giant Super Cell launched Clash Royale which is based on the troops of Clash of Clans. With the launch of this game, popularity is being seen in the various Super cell pages, facebook or in twitter. Being a new game, this game is already famous in the Google Play and Apple store. Now the question comes, Will Clash Royale overtake the popularity of Clash of Clans?

The answer is, Maybe Yes. Now you might be thinking what makes me think of this? Well there are obviously some reasons.

• Real Time Multiplayer - Real-time multiplayer is much more fun than the normal multiplayer games where the opponent has no need to be online at the same time.
• Time Saving - Clash Royale is much more time saving than Clash of Clans. Clash Royale doesn't need you to spend as much time as Clash of Clans.
• Fun Friendly Battles - What makes this unique, is the friendly battle feature. Players can do friendly matches with their friends and family members if they belong to same clan without having any effect on trophy count.
• No Tension of Loot - As this game have different functions, there's no headache of doing loot attacks or getting looted. you will have a lots of free time and you can sleep without any tension!

There are also some bad side of this game which may bind this game to cross Clash of Clans. The Clash Royale game is pretty much limited for now, there are not much functions you can explore in the game. As this game is at very early stage, so we can hope that the developers will surely add some great features in near future. We believe in Super Cell and Super cell likes to satisfy their fellow gamers. But if the Clash Royale developer team is not able to add interesting feature then after a year or so, players will lose their interest and go back to Clash of Clans.

So readers, what is you opinion? Is it same like me, or you have a different opinion? Let me know in the comments section below!
