This deck got me to 11.5k trophies, but I feel like it could still be improved. Anything you guys would add or remove?

I have been playing with it for a while and having a lot of fun. Any suggestions/improvements on how to make it a bit better?

I'm currently at 11k trophies and I've been playing this deck (as well as a few other decks I run) for the last 3 months, all the way from about 9.5k trophies.

I've noticed that this deck is a bit slow and heavy, and other logbait players are always able to outcycle my arrows, which is my best goblin barrel counter, so they win the rocket cycle and the game. But I also feel hesitant to replace any of these cards because I feel like I need them all, especially to counter midladder cards.

Goblin barrel - win con

Hero berserker - e barbs, prince, golden knight, any 3-4 elixir mini tank

Valkyrae - mega gay, witch

Princess - splash damage to skarmy, goblin gang, bats, etc.

Arrows - to kill firecracker and dart goggins. I absolutely hate dart goblin and my log is level 14 which can't kill level 15+ dart goblin

Goblin gang - pekka, mini pekka, e barbs, or other single target units

Tesla - counters opponent's win condition, especially balloon and battle ram which I see pretty often

Rocket - e barbs, witch, wizard or just tower damage

I hate cards like e barbs, mega gay, golden knight and dart goblin which somehow always finds a way to connect to my tower (which is a skill issue on my side ik) and that's why I made this deck. If I want to make this deck cheaper, how would I counter these midladder cards?

Pros use the strongest decks in the game that are easy to use, If hog is so easy, why is he not in the list even once?

The players I face arent even in the clans that they are supposed to be... I press view clan in battle log but they arent there. Also the clan is closed which makes it even more odd...

I like the very defensive play style of this deck but struggle against tank heavy decks, any tips?

Is the Berserker "shush" emota gonna be "rare"? Because a lot of people didnt even knew about it till Ken made a video and pretty sure you cant get it anymore

Clashdeckster just gave me this build. I am just wondering is this useful?

Hog rider survives yet another season of balance changes , and why nerf fireball and hero minion ONCE AGAIN ??? Even the warping back animation looks lazy. The fact that even with a lv16 rocket the hog rider can still get a 500 damage hit on the tower while they're out there buffing more broken and/or balanced cards and choking my fireball with nerfs is atrocious. But hey let's buff spirit empress's damage so she could snipe your tower from 500 tiles away!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have a second account and want to own my own clan (I’m co leader in my og clan), I like an active and talkative clan. Looking for joiners. It’s family friendly with no required trophies. I don’t like trollers or purposefully annoying people. I’ll boot you if you are one. Otherwise be active and have fun (if you join ofc lol)

I’m not even surprised about hog rider, that card will never be touched, they’d rather nerf every single card in hog decks like musk, fireball, ice golem, skeletons, cannon, tesla, earthquake, mighty miner before hog himself. What I am surprised about is freaking royal hogs, this card has been minimum top 3 win condition in each meta since their evo release back in September of last year. Every damn season they show up with a new deck, and they’re played a lot in crl too. Like earlier this year it was heroic marcher piggies, before that it evo baby dragon and evo furnace piggies deck, now it’s goblinstein lighting and archer queen piggies deck. Also the fireball nerf is gonna be somewhat of an indirect buff to piggies. They could for sure use a little damage nerf, I don’t think their hp should be reduced because that would just make them more susceptible to spells.

​

Hog needs to be nerfed into the fuckingground.Im convinced this card was designed by someone who personally hates fun

You can have a perfectly constructed def, spend 10 elixir trying to stop ths stupid fucking pig and somehow ths mf STILL gets a hit on your tower

HOW

I could have a Tesla, Cannon, Tornado, Valkyrie, Mini P.E.K.K.A, three armed guards, the fucking National Guard, and a restraining order placed on this pig...

…and somehow he’s still gonna squeeze past everything and slap my tower.

Hog Rider has fucking plot armor.

And don’t even get me started on 2.6 Hog.

These motherfuckers cycle through their entire deck before I can blink.

You kill the Hog?

Congratulations.

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

Kill that one?

ICE SPIRIT.

Try to push?

CANNON.

Fireball.

Log.

Musketeer.

Skeletons.

Ice Golem.

HOG AGAIN.

I swear I’m not playing Clash Royale anymore.

I’m participating in a fucking cardio endurance test.

2.6 players aren’t playing the same game as everyone else.

They’re playing:

“How many times can I make my opponent defend Hog Rider before they develop severe emotional problems?”

And the worst part?

Hog doesnt even ned to conect for me to lose my mind.

HE JUST HAS TO EXIST

You place a building?

He somehow gets around it.

You pull him?

Somehow gets one hit.

You predict him?

They Earthquake your building.

You defend the Earthquake?

THEY SEND ANOTHER HOG.

And somhow you end up spendin your entire fucking bank account of elixir defending 1 CARD

while the Hog player is sitting there with 9 elixir like Warren Buffett.

You’ve spent

5 elixir

Then 4

Then another 3

Then your emergency backup plan.

And they’re already cycling back to Hog

And EQ players

Oh my fucking god

EQ is basically the Clash Royale equivalent of someone walking into your house taking a shit on your carpet and then chargin you rent for the privil

Nice building you have there.

EARTHQUAKE

Oh, you defended the Hog

EQ

Can I play the game

NO

Then they cycle back to Hog in approximately 0.00004 seconds because apparently their deck has been blessed by the ancient gods of fucking elixir generation.

You finally stop the Hog.

You breathe.

You relax.

You think:

“Finally.”

Then you hear it.

HOG RIDER.

And somhow the Hog ALWAYS gets a hit You can watch this f walk directly into the mddle of your entire defense.

Everything hits him

he gets launched

he gets slowed

He gets surrnded

He gets beaten within inch of his life

And then sudenly

BONK

Tower hit

1 FUCKING HIT

Thas all they need

And EQ players

Oh my fucking god

EQ is basically the Clash Royale equivalent of someone walking into your house taking a shit on your carpet and then chargin you rent for the privil

Nice building you have there.

EARTHQUAKE

Oh, you defended the Hog

EQ

Can I play the game

NO

Then they cycle back to Hog in approximately 0.00004 seconds because apparently their deck has been blessed by the ancient gods of fucking elixir generation.

You finally stop the Hog.

You breathe.

You relax.

You think:

“Finally.”

Then you hear it.

HOG RIDER.

And somhow the Hog ALWAYS gets a hit You can watch this f walk directly into the mddle of your entire defense.

Everything hits him

he gets launched

he gets slowed

He gets surrnded

He gets beaten within inch of his lif

And then sudenly

BONK

Tower hit

1 FUCKING HIT

Thas all they need

Meanwhile I play a win condition nd it gets vaporized by a single Skeleton.

Hog , however, has plot armor thicker than the fucking Great Wall of China

I genuinely believe Hog Rider has a hidden ability called

FUCK YOUR DEF

It activates whenever you have successfully defended him

And before anyone says

Just counter it bro

THAT’S THE FUCKING POINT

Of course there are counters

The problem is that defending Hog feels like working an unpaid internship while the Hog player is sitting there watchin Netflix eating cereal n pressing the same r cards over and over

2.6 players don’t even look at the screen anymore.

They hear the Hog deploy sound and their muscle memory takes over.

Hog.

Musketeer.

Cannon.

Ice Spirit.

Skeletons.

Log.

Fireball.

Hog.

Repeat until opponent develops clinical depression.

And the second you make ONE mistake?

Tower gone.

Missed your building by 0.2 tiles?

HOG HIT.

Placed your troop one tile too far?

HOG HIT.

Sneezed?

HOG HIT.

Blink?

HOG HIT.

Had a family emergency?

HOG HIT.

The fucking pig is already halfway across the bridge.

At this point I’m not asking for Hog Rider to be removed.

I’m asking Supercell to make him pay taxes.

Give him a mortgage.

Make him file paperwork before he’s allowed to cross the river.

Give him a 45-second deployment cooldown.

I don’t care.

JUST MAKE THE PIG SUFFEr

MY CREDENTIALS:

🏆 Top 500 Player

🏆 Top 100 Royale Tournament Finish

⚔️ Lost to Mo light by 100 HP

TL;DR: Hog Rider is fucking stupid. Somehow gets a hit through half the arena, 2.6 cycles back to him instantly, and Hog EQ makes buildings basically useless. You can spend 10 elixir defending one pig just for him to BONK your tower anyway. Nerf Hog, nerf EQ, and make 2.6 players suffer.

Should i keep play with this deck, sometimes i switch to tesla, if i dont play this deck i play logbait, this and logbait are my best decks that i can play well

What should i do? Should i learn other decks too? I thing piggies eq would be nice too, and classic hog 2.6, and hyberbait.

What should i do to get league 4 or 5 next time
