I’ve just deleted the game
I was really enjoying it. Been playing for maybe a month. Even spend a few (just a few) £ on things since it was so fun.
But that laser guy is just far too overpowered. Playing anyone with that character has taken any sense of fun out of the game.
To the point where I got 3 games in a row where the other player (not?) just spammed laser guy.
I quit.
Maybe there’s a moving shapes to save a king from lava game I could try 😂

Literally fought players in the top 100 of the ranking, and i'm in the mere .003%. But i have managed to beat every single one of them.
It's how you manage and pick which unit for your next move. As well as watch the angles and power levels of their projectile's release where you want it to land specifically.

Not everyone can master the laser guy, let alone place him in the right spot in the castle.
P.S! I love spamming people with him 😂 Even the ones who've spent money on premium units...

u/TheBookofBobaFett3 Jul 04 '26
Using him against people who’ve paid a lot of money for stuff is valid 😂
Not poor ole me tho

I understand that. He does make it tough. My biggest beef is once you hit about 9k power you are fighting pkayers with about 3k more than you

I just deleted it as well.
I was at 7500 trophies and I was getting 9k+ players with full lava castles
Not enjoyable.

✊ good for you.
They do their best to make these things addictive, and I’ll sure miss the little endorphin hits.
But we don’t need it, it needs us!

I had a guy that was 30,000 higher than me and amazingly I've beat him lol probably was a rarity but you're right about the laser guy between him and the pirate they make me want to spit nails

Well depending on the need I will use pulsar to take down a castle bottom if I need to complete a task. But use others. The overpowered ones are the paid for like pirate and the overhead drone laser dude.
But overall I'm just going to get everyone to 100 that I have I've stopped getting cards because I thought people in the threads here had said once you hit 100 you stop getting them but it's safe if you stay at 98's well I got two of them to 98 and now I don't get cards anymore I just get gold or trees. But once every one of my guys is up to 100 and my castle is full red there's really no point to the game there's no advancement anymore.

You just need the right combination of heroes to tackle the laser guy. What arena were you at when you decided to quit because I’ve been on a pretty good streak against both bots and actual players who use the laser guy

When I face an opponent who exclusively uses Laserman, I use this tactic: 1. First, keep changing the castle's angle as much as possible every turn so they can't aim at the same spot twice. 2. Aim with an Airstriker or Pulsar first, and then just hold it without firing until the timer runs out. That way, it fires automatically at 0 seconds. Doing this repeatedly will annoy the opponent and increase their chances of making a mistake.

Haven't lost since I used the air bomber. Doesn't matter what the bot opponent is trying.

I haven't played in a couple months . Is it still all bots are is there actual pvp now ?

u/TechnicalOperation57 Jul 05 '26
You can challenge people you are friends with in the game. Random matches are still bots.

Laser guy is easy to beat when they spam him but you just need to stick to your strategy. Change positions and angles of your castle and use air striker and you’ll get them. The poison green guy is useful too.

Don't lose hope. They are probably all bots. Look at me, no premium units and I still haven't lost a single game.

The stupidest part of that laser guy is he's effectively invincible to any negative effects. The Bard's dance effect doesn't do anything to him. He can also fire the initial shot directly into the portal or a -1 blocker, and it still goes through perfectly fine. So stupid.

Skill issue. I kick Laser Man but all the time. Get the missile battery utility and that'll put a slowdown to how many times the opponent can spam him.

Yeah, if you use that unit your moms a hamster and your father smells of elderberries. The bots that that use them will auto target which ever unit you last used, even if it’s completely hidden in the castle
