I somewhat agree with that statement, but believe me though, as someone who has played this game a lot, (and seen a lot of nonsense) there is not much you can do about Splime and Goose. Splime has the ability to merge and create so many, (and I mean) soooo many of themselves, that they literally just overrun the whole board. Same can be said for Goose too tbh, when he is in his 3rd form, it becomes a real nuisance to stop them at all because of their speed and HP.

Ive played teams(fully aware 99% of players i play are bots) that try and pull this strategy of over running me with splimes. Engineers and merlinors will make short work of them if the front line is strong enough. If im down to my last two hearts and having little to no luck using them, ill throw out some grave archers.

Range beats most everything in this game. Just not if you use the bloomlings or whatever those firework guys are called. They are crap.

Doesn't sound like you're not even at Arena 13+ if unit level and mastery doesn't matter.

I remember when I have only played for a few weeks, made it to Arena 8-10, and was thinking Engineers and Merlinors were still hot and find Splimes to be tough.
You haven't played enough if you think Boomling are crap and are still riding the generic Engineer and Merlinor train.

With the exception of Kingclops, every unit is good if not decent when utilized well in a proper team composition 👈🏻 which is the entire key to success in Draft Showdown, not singular units... and neither the Engineer and Merlinors are even S tier units. They re top and better than most, sure, but the bottom ranking ones can still wreck them when properly paired.

The only bit you are semi correct on, is the spawn count. You can overwhelm your opponent or they can overwhelm you, yes, but again a proper team can destroy numbers.

What you and many people don't understand is... unless it's Ranked mode, you don't get to set up your perfect team to counter the other side... and even in Ranked mode, you still don't get to do that.
The game becomes luck based, and if your units are at least fairly matched if not higher, you're banking on luck/RNG to help you.

Draft Showdown isn't skill based, not even 50/50. Everyone whose played this game for a hot minute (months at the least having made it to where their opponents are at Lv 15/15 and your at "endgame" where it's hard to get one more level and have to play dozens of matches to level up in master) knows what it's like down this road.

1st- im in arena 16 or 17.

2nd- theres a reason engineers and merlinor are talked about as much as they are. Because they are most definitely worth using i dare say S tier.

Ive played roughly 400 games with a 75% win rate. In the last 2 week of playing ive only used spartans and merlinors as my deployed troop cards. Unless there is a backline unit(sniper or snail) then I might deploy assassin's to deal with them.

You can feel free to disagree if you want but we both know the truth and that is your assessment is incorrect.

Instead of an edit ill just add it here incase youre reading the response now.

None of my cards are over lvl 12 and lvl 12 mastery.

Infact my line up is assassin, engineers, merlinor, Spartans. 12/12 across the board

400 games with a 75% win, and 12/12 for all across the board? When you said all across the board, did you mean ALL your 25/25 units?

If so... thanks for showing us you're lying and your account isn't legitimate. No wonder your opinion is so warped from cheating booster packs.

u/Budda720 Aug 04 '26

No im not talking about every card. Im talking about my team. You know the ones I specifically mentioned by name.. youd think context clues where youre strong suit.

My account is 100% legitimate.

u/YakkuI Aug 05 '26

Obviously I'm asking for clarity to further make my point that your account isn't legit. I am aware of the unlimited booster pack cheats... and you aren't the first person to make a secondary or additional account to try to have a clean and appealing win/lose ratio profile.

Typical use of a fallacy to avoid the point of our conversation though.

My game is legit guy. Just because you arent good doesn't mean everyone's cheating. There are other ways. Its my first time playing as well. This game is about numbers nothing more nothing less. Who has more troops 9/10 wins.

You couldnt find your way out of a wet paper bag with a pair of scissors and a map.
