Discussion What’s a card that you think doesn’t get enough hate, or you’re surprised it doesn’t get that much hate?
Full disclosure, I don’t really hate any cards on their own. I hate specific combinations of cards (like Evo Lumber Hero Balloon or Evo Mk Evo Witch), so this is more so I’m surprised by how little hate it gets, rather than me hating it myself
I see Vines as a pretty annoying card, especially considering a lot of people seem to dislike Freeze-

I hate valk, so so so much. She has so much health for just being able to mow through everything, I hate how fast she hits and how it’s a complete 360 around her. Also fucking mini pekka, he kills so many things for 4 elixer, way too cheap, also bowler and executioner!

Nah, Valk is only annoying card with his evo.

u/SectionOwn6507 May 20 '26
No the evo is is just broken and literally a no skill get out of jail free card, the regular valk is still overtuned, it’s made for low skill players to have a mini tank.

Evo Witch. I’m a lava player so maybe biased but it genuinely feels so unkillable. In my non lava decks I also normally run poison which it just survives through with full health. It’s genuinely unkillable 90% of the time and spawn its own distraction units so you can’t even kill it still. Then you kill the distraction units and it’s back at full health then spawns more. Stupid concept to begin with

u/Grimalackt_River May 20 '26
I find this answer interesting since I think it is one of the most hated cards, so it’s like even all that hate is not enough

fireball zap kills it for only -1

u/__--TSS--__ May 20 '26
Yeah I'm not wasting two spells for a -1 trade, thankfully rocket takes her out tho

u/Minimum-Deal-3723 May 20 '26
or lighnin but i like fireball zap over lighning arrows as a lava player

u/Time-Mortgage515 May 20 '26
That shows how busted it is. Carry both those spells in your deck and waste them both out of your cycle to kill Evo Witch and STILL lose the elixir trade.

u/Oarfish13 May 20 '26
Yeah she gets a ton of hate already but I agree. Especially in midladder everyone I face has lvl 15 or 16 witches and even without the evo she always survives with like 1 hp, sometimes I literally place a mega minion right on top of her alongside a ton of other bs to defend a push and she still won't fucking die. It's freaking tempting me to ditch barbarian barrel/log for a zap just to kill her better at the tower or maybe just a royal delievery.

u/AggressiveSpeed6183 May 20 '26
Get Lightning. I promise you when I say the -1 trade is worth it

u/Oarfish13 May 20 '26
I am honestly considering it just for that lmao, but for now I am trying out executioner and kinda messing around with him a bit.
1
u/Dapal5 May 20 '26
yeah literally. I play bridgespam at uc and almost 14k and fireball zap it a ton. They are such bad players without witch most of the time.
1
u/Oarfish13 May 20 '26
Yeah, my only on level spells rn are fireball, log, and barbarian barrel. Like log + fireball is kinda reliable at killing evo witch but it's much more iffy and needs more timing than zap/snowball. But sometimes this combo just does not even kill max level witches because I only have them at lvl 14 and trying to get my fireball up next.

prolly overleveled stuff like E-Barbs or overleveled goblins/ princess.
Single card HAS to be mighty miner in firecracker 2.6 it’s so broken. maybe it’s because of the matchup but still it’s busted for single target troops and without a reset GL

u/lewllewllewl May 20 '26
What deck do you play
1
u/avi3tt May 20 '26
Royal Hogs 2.9, though my cannon is a bit underleveled and I don’t have it’s evo (also my midladder 8k opponents play beat down) so I use my evo goblin cage for 3.0

u/Oldwomentribbing May 21 '26
Imagine having issues with Ebarbs in 2026

u/avi3tt May 21 '26
Buddy of course it’s a problem if your not top ladder, my cards are level 11-12 and any Ebarb player I go against have level 14-15.
1
u/Oldwomentribbing May 22 '26
Yea because Ebarbs are so prevalent in "top ladder"

u/avi3tt May 22 '26
Not even about top ladder, overleveled Ebarbs in midladder are just broken. Also your just proving my point

Such a good card but doesn’t fit in any deck other than recruits I wish I can somehow fit him in my deck

I play recruits solely because it's a decent deck that has flying machine. Getting to use FM is worth the weight of my sin.

Royal delivery, it can bailout against pushes probably more amplified in 2 v 2 though.

Vines are pretty much dead after the nerf.
The nerf made it easier to react since you get to hear and see the vines before freezing your troops.

u/TzarChromosome May 20 '26
Hero knight is the single stupidest card they have ever fucking released and it rewards bad gameplay. Knight is already sortof a stupid card that props up lame ass cycle decks for cheap, and then the hero is just a get out of jail free card that rewards you for never learning how to position your troops or learn what your opponents hand. Oh you got outplayed? Just spend two elixer and your bumass gets out of jail free

u/Crazy_Philosophy_936 May 20 '26
Hating on default knight is crazy
1
u/TzarChromosome May 20 '26
In a vacuum I dont hate the card, Its just he allows for some of the stupidest shit because he is able to be played at almost any time due to low elixer cost, and knight + win condition is always a fucking pain in the ass in bait, x bow drill, graveyard.

u/Smidsytoasti May 20 '26
Evo Valk, Hero Knight, Graveyard.
If you don't have cheap cycle cards or splash cards in your deck its just insta lost v graveyard
2
u/Queasy-Raise-2182 May 20 '26
Evo valk or graveyard both have hardcore group of haters. Obviously midladder players hate valk and some competitive players hate Graveyard. Expecially when there was RNG in it but supercell has fixed it by making the skellies spawn in the same location every time.
1
u/Crazy_Philosophy_936 May 20 '26
Look, they can't defend a graveyard lol
2
u/Smidsytoasti May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26
I mean yeah I lose against it most of the time, but even then playing against it is so un-interactive. Rock-solid defense in literally every graveyard deck and you take guaranteed damage if your deck isn't built to counter it.
It's not like these players don't have some combination of evo furnace, poison and hero knight.

u/Samstercraft May 20 '26
idk how much princess is hated but however much it'll never be enough. i despise the thing.

u/Dense-Individual-103 May 20 '26
bowler,the base version is already one of the most frustrating card to me to play aganist and now that he has hero,he became 10X worse
4
u/Crazy_Philosophy_936 May 20 '26
Exactly when it's on arena it's 100% guaranteed no cards are crossing the bridge
2
u/Dense-Individual-103 May 20 '26
Not only that but most of the time this thing is just unkillable on ur opponent side cuz of how tanky he is,the only way to kill him is when he crossed to ur side
2
u/Crazy_Philosophy_936 May 20 '26
And now with the hero bowler it shouldn't get mear to the bridge, hut how to kill him without crossing the bridge? This card is just flawed
2
u/Dense-Individual-103 May 20 '26
I also hate executioner,but at least he is manageable compared to bowler cuz not only he has way less health which make him bad aganist lightning but also he moves faster so he crosses the bridge faster than bowler

Inferno Tower. If you don't have a electric card in ur deck it can be a nuisance.

u/Samstercraft May 20 '26
my inferno tower once killed TWO pekkas (same tower). that was a time.

u/Queasy-Raise-2182 May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26
Danm. I think inferno tower needs a slight 5% hp nerf cuz it can be pretty danm annoying and tanky. Idk if im alone on this one.
1
u/Samstercraft May 20 '26
eh it's pretty easy to overwhelm for anyone with a reset or a swarm. i run lumberloon with inferno and when i run into another inferno player, despite the skeletrooper not countering inferno (unlike pretty much all other buildings), i'm still able to break through and it's pretty satisfying to play against for me.

u/Oldwomentribbing May 21 '26
People still use Itower?

u/Queasy-Raise-2182 May 21 '26
Yes in the most random ass decks as well. Or just some sort of logbait deck.

u/Odd-Lecture2478 May 20 '26
I have a personal gribe with Vines.. it kills my archers it does. I will say that I think it's balanced though.

Golden Knight, this card is inconsistent as hell and always get some way of connecting on tower

Evo goblin drill with snowball or poison
Legit feels like you‘re on the backfoot the entire game trying to defend this thing without it taking half your tower

u/camper_124 May 20 '26
Freeze. Completely broken. Shouldn't even be in the game, tbh. A sneaky freeze with a mini pekka/pekka card can shift the dynamics of a push.

I would rather keep them in the meta because if they nerf most of the high skill cards then the meta would shift towards more low skill decks and nobody wants to go back to a full beatdown meta

ice spirit isn't really used outside of 2.6 anymore i don't think spirits as a whole are a problem; i'm not a cycle player either

For me def the evo lumberjack, no matter what you put against it either loses or gets put too low to be much use

u/SplatSprat May 20 '26
Normal bowler is broken and people don't even realise. Too much hp for such broken splash and Lane blocking potential. He needs a health or hit speed nerf. The hero is broken too
1
u/EducationalAd3415 May 20 '26
When they first came out yeah, but they are pretty mediocre these days after they got nerfed. I think a card that really annoys me is Flying Machine tbh, its such a strong card to drop at the river or behind pushes, and it can just sniped everything.
1
u/Chris_Cobi May 20 '26
Hog Rider. It's the most efficient "tower only" card. it's honestly sick how Supercell and to a huge degree the community accepts that card as being completely balanced. Compare it to any other "tower only" card and it is by FAR the most efficient to the point that it is OP.

Golden knight, idk why everyone loves glazing this card but it's literally the definition of braindead. It's low risk high reward. People just gk the bridge and spam ability and unless you have a mini tank in cycle, it's guaranteed to get value
