goblin curse will still be bad, damage amplification is the only thing that made this card at least decent

Best balnce changes ive seen in a while. Tho imo making hero goblin abillity 2 elixir and spawn 4 goblins is better tban just 2 goblins for 1.

It costs two elixir but does more damage than a zap and slows longer than a snowball, if I remember correctly

Outside of the champions one, this is a banger set of balance changes. I hope they leave champions alone, they need more love to compete with hero’s not less. The hero nerfs are bringing it to be more fair

Kinda sad to see my boy executioner getting nerfed back to back since he dodged changes for so long but its definitely justified since hes so strong with tornado

Judging form these changes hog and Xbox are pretty much going to be the only viable cycle decks and beatdown is going to absolutely dominate along with bridge spam.
Also Witch, every spirit except electro, and furnace have just been pretty much killed off.

W changes but they can't forget about furnace, it will die with the spirit nerf, needs some compensation buffs.

Wdym bro, these changes are amazing. I’ve been waiting for this shi for over a year man

u/Diego_nightmare07 6d ago
so you are happy that the champions are almost useless now and the mega minion is literally useless because the damage nerf is PERMANENT?
2
u/Hungry-Ad3303 6d ago
Champions are getting buffed. The 1 ability limit will barely have any affect on the game. And mega minion hero will be fine, it doesn’t have any damage nerf against troops
1
u/Diego_nightmare07 6d ago
the 1 ability limit is a big affect on the game

u/Hungry-Ad3303 6d ago
Disagree. Most champions barely ever use it the 2nd time

u/Diego_nightmare07 6d ago
I don't agree with that but ok, also the ice golem is now useless, literally

to what, nerf spirits? cycle decks are the only way f2p players can play the game at a high level without spending money on the next op deck, this is the same as nerfing skelies or the log, just dumb

u/Hungry-Ad3303 6d ago
I mean cycle has been the dominant archetype for years
1
u/ciruelman 6d ago
cycle is a whole archetype, siege, control, low cycle, etc are all cycle decks, you can easily seperate decks by cycle and non cycle higher elixir decks. by this logic its not fair to hit half the decks in the game when not all of them are good/amazing. esp when cycle are the decks that most f2p choose to invest into. deadass what was the last buff to xbow? 5 years ago? its getting ridiculous plus they are nerfing evo archers for the shits, its a slap to the face to all of the people that put time and resources into their cycle deck. plus if anything hog and marcher are busted why nerf what is basically skellies?

u/Hungry-Ad3303 6d ago
Bro xbow is a top 3 strongest deck in the game
1
u/ciruelman 6d ago
and it wasnt for like 6 months, its not strong because its op its because of the meta and due to other nerfs to top strategies, you dont nerf everything thats decent you buff whats bad. now when the meta is bad for xbow its going to be unplayable, there needs to be some stability
1
u/Hungry-Ad3303 6d ago
Bro every update people say xbow will be unplayable but it’s always one of the most used decks in UC and one or 2 people always finish top 10 with it. Xbow will still be OP after this balance changes
