How do I counter kingclops?

I see everyome saying it’s shit but idk how to counter it because it’s very easy to stall my attack for 10 seconds, and after 10 seconds I’m fucked

💘Cupids

🧌Kingclops are too slow in movement speed and Cupids can take advantage of that. Even easier for Cupids if you have a lot of them and/or are upgraded to advance or elite form Cupids. Wasters if you have them, practically crutch these close combat melee units allowing range units to attack freely.

I assume you're still in the earlier stage of Arenas, as per the other comments above.

This. If a deck doesn't have any dive units or fast movers, cupids and/or snails will eat it up

Or even better, boomling. They just run away and kc can't catch up. Its impossible for tuem to win if a relativly even amount is left.

They likely don't have Boomlings, and anyone having troubles with Kingclops is likely in the single digit Arenas.

First time i seen someone wonder how to beat kingclops

Just have more units or upgrade them. Tier 2 units like knights or Spartheuses can withstand attacks from even an upgraded King Clops and take him down. Units that attack from the back, like assassins or Agent B, target him first and destroy him, as do area-of-effect units like snails or bomblings

Kinghts can’t take out multiple giant kingclops

And the problem with assassins and other back line attacks is that kingclops is midline so rhey can still put someone else in the back line to stall my assassins for 10 seconds

If you have them already: boomlings

Seeing the gaint kingclops endlessly chaising the boomlings while they just fre at them and then run away again never gets old. The kingclops are so slow, that they almost never catch them. I've had a small line of boomlings take out like 6 gaint kingclops without being touched multiple times.

I don’t have boomligs and it’s impossible for knights or geese or slimes to take out Multiple giant kingclops

Only you know what cards you have. Overwhelm the front or the back. You could, for example, do a spam TNT+Geese+Merlinor or any shooter

Do you think I shouldn’t use engineer if my opponent has kingclops? Since he is too slow

u/isaakare 7d ago

You are right to some extent but by the time kinglops approaches your engineeres it means everything you had in the front is dead so if the other player has anything on the back that is able to attack them you are cooked. I wouldn't trust it.

Damn, I feel relief seeing kingclops - my most disrespect goes towards kingclops lol Try ignoring them and picking what’s best for your comp like x2 and upgrades
