Details about the popularity rankings of August 2017, great content for you to dig deeper into the Clash Royale.
Hello, players! This post is a of the reddit series called " Card Popularity Snapshot " made by member / u / Wwoody123 (of the Reddit Alpha clan). Today I present the Popularity of August Letters, with Snapshot # 31 .
My friends at Starfi.re sent me the Battle Decks from players in the Global Top 200 at the end of last season. I analyzed the decks to produce lists of the most popular cards and decks at the top of the ladder. These lists may help you decide which cards to request from your clanmates, purchase with gold, and ultimately include in your deck.
Tune in to my Twitch channel Thursday night 7PM EDT for card discussion and top deck gameplay!
Card Discussion
What do you do when The Log can’t reach those five pesky Bats flying around? Swap it out for Zap, once again the most-used card at the top of the ladder! Ice Spirit may catch a few, but Ice Golem is sure to send them all to a frosty grave. And if your Goblins can’t seem to hit them, call in the whole Goblin Gang so their spears can take them down. If the balance changes are driving you batty, rest assured you aren’t the only one.
The Miner burrowed up into the top ten cards, giving cover for Bats and other flying things. But the Knight remains grounded, preferring to tank for the Hog Rider or Goblin Barrel, which launched upwards due to its inclusion in the top Logbait deck. Princess also gained standing from her inclusion in Logbait, but does a great job taking down Bats in her own right. Mega Minion finally has a flying foe to fear, but remains top ten.
Rocket toward the top! The six-elixir spell rounds out the top ten despite the recent downtrend in Elixir Collector usage. It is the most used ‘big’ spell, beating out Fireball and Poison. Rocket also soars above Lightning, which regained popularity in decks with heavy-hitters that need a counter to the rising Inferno Tower and Inferno Dragon. And don’t be shocked that Electro Wizard is the most popular midrange support card.
Arrows and Minion Horde are near usage parity in the middle of the pack of viable cards. Bandit dodged the last round of balance changes and remains relatively popular with top players. Minions haven’t been forgotten among the revival of other flying troops; Lava Hound and Balloon are embarking on air raids again in the absence of antiair Three Musketeers, Tornado,and Executioner.
Mega Knight won the heavyweight challenge against P.E.K.K.A in his very first season of top competitive play! The Giant might have stood a chance in this contest, but he was too busy pulverizing buildings. Long-awaited buffs to X-Bow and Mortarrevived the siege archetype, while Mini P.E.K.K.A finally sees play again. The erstwhile terrors Night Witch, Battle Ram and Graveyard were nerfed just enough to still see some use.
Heal is now completely useless.
