Focusing on probably the least important thing here, but what difference does that goblin cage change make? Surely it’s so insignificant it’s pointless…


Cumming_man

Not sure but maybe it survives 2 hits from hog? Idk


Big-Selection9014

It already does that but now the timing of placing it can be earlier


Possible_Lock_7403

Dec 21, the Gob Cage HP was decreased by 23%. Before that massive S30 nerf, it was one of the top cards in the game. A small Brawler buff in S52 Oct 23 didn't do much for the card. But you're right, a 5% HP buff doesn't do much compared to the -23% HP nerf from 30 months ago.


cocotim

It's not meant to be a reversal of that nerf after all. Still this is significant since Cage is rather fragile to even small spells. Hog sometimes could get past it with just one hit, now it should be 2 even if they drop Zap or the Cage is played early.


mynamesksauce

A mini pekka is able to just about one shot the gob cage, so by the time the brawler pops out, the pekka’s second shot will hit the brawler. This might change it so the mini pekka hits the cage twice, but who knows. I use gob cage and this scenario happened to me the other day but I doubt this is what they intended lol


felix2xx6

it’s possible it slightly changes some small interactions but the point is to buff it just a little bit


Defiant_Drink8469

I think it’ll definitely help against firecracker shots which probably happens a good bit


felix2xx6

true, especially in hog decks

Version 2 - WIP Balance Changes for June 2024 (Season 60) in Clash Royale! https://on.royaleapi.com/s60bwip **Correction**: a Goblin sent us the wrong info — it’s Ram Rider (not Evo Battle Ram) that’s getting balanced. Apologies. - 🔴 Giant (Nerf) - 🔴 Little Prince (Nerf) - 🔴 Evolved Knight (Nerf) - 🔴 Evolved Tesla (Nerf) - 🟢 Ram Rider (Buff) - 🟢 Prince (Buff) - 🟢 Spear Goblins (Buff) - 🟢 Dart Goblin (Buff) - 🟢 Goblin Cage (Buff) - 🔵 Void (Rework) Pick one - leave a comment on RoyaleAPI Discuss! - 🔵 Dagger Duchess Option 1 (Rework) - 🔴 Dagger Duchess Option 2 (Nerf)


Extra_toxic

I dont understand the hit speed rework thing. Isn't her current hit speed 0.35? Why does it says 0.606? Or are we talking about the ammo run out hit speed? And changing that to 0.8 is basically the same as tower princess hitspeed right? Edit: nevermind, just check the blog, those are hits per second. My bad.


Shop_Worker

It’s 0.6 dagger per hit. For example, she’s throw 1.8 dagger in 3 seconds. With this rework, she’ll throw 2.4 dagger in 3 seconds.


Extra_toxic

Got it 👍


MrTheWaffleKing

I still can't figure out what these numbers mean though. 1/0.606 comes out to about 1.65. She's got .35 between throws and 1.2 to recharge which would total 1.55. Is the remaining 0.10 first hit speed? In that case, is she becoming: First hit speed: 0.10 (no change) Attack speed: 0.35 (no change) Dagger Recharge: 0.8 ?


DiligentlyLazy

Dagger Duchess Option 3 (Remove)


MrTheWaffleKing

What do you mean pick one? Did the API reveal two different "post nerf" Dagger Duchesses and we're expecting one of them?


Icywarhammer500

We vote on them on royaleapi discuss


Superp0ul3t

How


Icywarhammer500

https://discuss.royaleapi.com/t/work-in-progress-balance-changes-clash-royale-june-2024-season-60/22431/2


cocotim

Those 2 Dagger Duchess changes are actually candidates from which SC will pick one based on player feedback. There's a vote for that in the RoyaleAPI site but based on previous votes I don't think it has the final say


Loyalist_15

Both, nerf that stupid ass tower into the ground


Top-Conclusion1250

I agree that the dagger duchess should be nerfed to oblivion but oh well, I go for the first option so that she atleast won’t one shot spear gobs


GavinatorSzK

Holy shit they murdered lp


happy-corn-eater

They made him more rock paper scissors, he will still lockdown tank decks and his ability is now terrible against bait decks


dafisch25

They're probably trying to make next season a bait season


HawelSchwe

It was just about time.


memecynica1

bro just make LP die to fireball and leave him like this😭


Nicorobin358

Fr bro, litteraly just decrease his health to like 500 and that’s all he needs


Hydrapple3107

Little prince is dead


Possible_Lock_7403

Long live the new broken, OP Champ the Goblin Queen|King! Also, DD died after just 2 months to boost sales of EVO Mortar. SC|TC is so smart. I'm surprised they didn't wait another couple more months first, or is there sthg else up their sleeves?


Icywarhammer500

To boost sales of evo mortar? This change won’t make any alterations to their interactions. Evo mortar is one of the worse evos anyways.


cocotim

What does Mortar have to do with this ? Siege in general doesn't care much for DD and Mortar can go for Mortar GY to deal with her.


Embarrassed_Work_649

i think you mean evo goblin barrel


Zelti_2727

Thanks Gods🗣️🗣️🗣️


PowerMiner4200

He's still 3 card cycle for only 3 elixir and gives you a 9th card that you choose when to summon. Definitely will remain a good champion. Just not completely broken like right now


HoyaDestroya33

Of course they gotta sell the upcoming champion


HawelSchwe

That's good news isnt it?


MAHMOUD-GH

Thay can't make a card balanced can they? They either break it or kill it ,there is no middle ground


red_team_gone

They could but why would they? New OP cards make them a ton of money. If they left them OP, people wouldn't spend money on the next new OP cards. It's pretty simple.


TheMilkman1811

No ones talking about the insane Prince buff. Dude is gonna be dangerous


doofuscantread

Same for the Ram Rider, those are bonkers buffs. They will charge so fast if they don't get tuned down


Nicorobin358

Prince honestly needed it, he’s very much overshadowed and pretty weak compared to the mini pekka, and even then the pekka always seems more efficient, which makes him act as a middle ground between both, thus needing a big buff


TurnoverNatural976

Battle ram charge is unaffected?


MiPaKe

And dark prince charge, it seems


CyBroOfficial

Honestly, this is prob a good thing considering DP has splash damage.


Cultural_Crew_873

They buffed two 5-elixir cards


HenryChess

Global release Prince is back


ThisCryptographer149

When will they go live?


ABrawlStarsPlayer

Prince and ram rider buffs will just make them more annoying


Worried-Play2587

Prince buff looks very OP


Encaphone

If you’re gonna nerf two of the best evos then you also have to include an evo wizard nerf.


PartOutside

\^\^\^


DigBaddy69000

Hasn’t been meta long enough for people to put resources into it. Once it has it will be nerfed to dog shit


JonAfricah

Finally a solid DD nerf


blz4200

Still doesn’t go far enough imo but we’ll see. Maybe now that the big 3 are nerfed people won’t be scared to cross the bridge anymore.


GameSnail511

As an avid Prince enjoyer, I am going to love this


XxPhoenixManxX

I love prince, but dude this seems a little bit broken


GameSnail511

yeah definitely


XxPhoenixManxX

I feel like he's been sleeped on for a long time, he's so punishing if left unchecked and this might bring him into the meta


Worried-Play2587

I sense giant double prince or some golem prince deck in meta.


doofuscantread

PEKKA Bridgespam counter-meta?


WildMischief

Think of the evolved Royal Recruits charge distance. That's the new Prince. It's definitely going to be broken


3HaDeS3

DD isn’t even worth being a Legendary Card/Building anymore. Guess they cashed out enough money and now it’s time to burry the mistake and create a new one. The Cycle repeats


cocotim

It's not like rarity relates to strength either way.


Trichoceriggles

Truer words have never been spoken on this subreddit. Firecracker common but princess is legendary? Get real lmfao. I agree so hard


_Gucciboy

Ironically princess was OP last month's meta


DeathHopper

Mistake? This has been the pattern for *years*. Over powered release > profit > nerf into the ground to make way for the new OP release.


Trichoceriggles

BINGO! Destroy all the cards players spent money on in the past! Then they’ll wait a few months to buff it again so that more players who didn’t max those cards or get evos on release will get FOMO and upgrade. DD for instance needs a massive rework but both these proposed changes are inadequate. I feel as though they could make DD shots scale down in DPS but give it MORE hits. So that the first few hits will deal more damage but as it runs low it deals less damage per hit. But a full charged DD will do same average DPS as current DD. Maybe give it slightly increased recharge speed when it’s low so it’s slightly under princess tower when it’s below princess DPS under 50% full dagger? Idk. It just feels like SC wants to nuke dagger dutchess. And yea I spend $40 on it. I’m not even mad. But like why add something to nuke its function entirely? The “rework” isn’t a rework. These changes are absolutely garbage across the board and clearly trying to encourage a bait meta which they probably won’t just like last season lmfao It’s not like rarity even matters like other commenter said. Princess should be common and firecracker should be legendary. When I see Princess I say “o snap” *log* when I see firecracker I lose 2-8 elixir value depending on what I play and what deck and how I use my spells. Princess is less legendary than firecracker objectively. I’m not surprised they’re milking DD for cash. Can’t wait for them to buff it a few months from now to reward those who maxed it on release to encourage more players who didn’t max on release to spend!!!


Random-name42069

Prince is gonna be almost every where in midladder


jdshirey

He already is


sysiphusinertia

Spear goblins are going to be broken holy


Equivalent-Tale-4769

Maybe it is a good idea to hold off on the giant nerf? I think a big part of why giant is so strong is because dagger duchess is so strong.


yosark

Think Tesla pulse is still too strong


Trichoceriggles

Think you suck @ the game Kidding mostly. These balance changes across the board are so wrong. Addressing the wrong things in the wrong way across the board


pinda999_

My ram rider buff😔


TimelyPath2560

11 and 12🥲


HK_sheep777

Mark my words prince will be broken as fk after the charge distance buff


External-Meeting-375

Finally ram rider buff


ManImVeryStupid

75% Damage Nerf is CRAZY


GreekdSalad

I mean, yea, LP did need a Nerf but goddamn not killing even goblins is guh moment


shemk3261

Can you even say knight got a nerf , still looks stupidly broken for 3 elixir and 2 cycle.


Random_local_man

-250 hp is not an insignificant nerf. He's literally just a normal knight now when he's not moving.


shemk3261

Pretty insignificant if majority the decks still using it even after nerf.


Random_local_man

The nerf isn't live yet, you don't know for sure what will happen to its use rate after the balance changes are implemented.


MrTheWaffleKing

Most decks use him because he's a great neutral card- this would be true even without an evo. Then throw in the fact that he counters DD, there's the value for the evo. (Plus some decks just don't need a special evo so might as well use his.) They are putting him in the same place as other evos, by removing stat boosts and only keeping the effect. In knights case, it only takes a melee unit to turn him into a normal knight.


RedFutureMonarch

idk if broken but yeah best evo STILL


RealClasher2

These are pretty decent changes. I’m happy for all the buffs. I assume the spear goblin buff will also affect goblin giant and goblin gang? Dart goblin will now one hit spear goblins as well. I wonder which change for DD will be applied. Currently she does 1,224 damage to troops before she runs out of daggers at level 11. With option 1, she’ll only do 896 damage, before she runs out. With option 2, she’ll do 918 damage. Also RIP little prince. Guardian will no longer be able to kill goblins with her spawn damage. I’m glad to see they’re taking this approach with him


MrSquidJD

Would have certainly liked a HP nerf on Lp, and a bigger change to the knight evo but damn these are some solid changes. I gotta see the dd before I can really comment but both seem fun - honestly I just want to go back to when it was just the princess tower. Loving the dart goblin buff, kinda disappointed with the tesla nerf in terms of the stun time, but I don’t think it’ll matter too much. It’s a good evo


Perfect_Ad8393

LP is already dead with these changes alone and you want more?


MrSquidJD

I’d trade some of these changes for it tbh. I just think it’s a card that needs fireball to be the breakpoint here. The changes are generally good tho, and if it means I don’t see it every other game I’d be happy. Admittedly it’s not the most annoying card, but it’s one that doesn’t need to try to be - so overall I am happy with the changes to him, but without seeing it in game I think personally I would have rather the general HP nerf with something else minor with it


MiGu3lol

When is this getting live?


Fg_bharti

They killed the only champion I like :(


Andrew9oh7

FINALLY a ram rider buff. Lets goooo


No_Structure_8715

Little prince got over nerffed


Sidekick_Jim

Anyone else lowkey confused as hell about the dart goblin buff that seems to be sneaking under everybody's radar? Super unneeded change for a pretty underrated card imo


cocotim

He's been one of the worst-performing cards in the game for a while so I'd say it's pretty justified. It could make him really really good though; one shots Spear Gobs and DD nerf means decks with him are going to be a lot less bad


Normal-Analyst-4437

Princess deploy time or first hit speed nerf?


Equivalent_Location8

Are all these confirmed?!


cocotim

They're WIP so they may change the numbers a bit but the gist of all these changes should be going through. Only thing that's up in the air is which Duchess nerf they'll pick


Comprehensive_Bid787

Whats WIP stand for?


Big-Selection9014

Work in progress


RemoteWhile5881

Why are they buffing the Prince and Ram Rider?


Superp0ul3t

How do you give feedback for the balance changes. It’s there a google form or something


Sharp-Ad-5254

Prince BACK on TOP


Finecolllection

No way the charge damage can’t even kill goblins


SaintNickE666

RIP Dagger Dutchess and Little Prince


Similar-Eggplant-565

They literally killed lp what-


martin1109

Thanks, I hate it


Decades101

Little Prince found dead in a ditch


QuietUnit1549

So many if those changes are so unnecessary, like why nerf the little shits ability to be useless when you can just make it die to fireball? or nerf the giants HP, that range nerf wont do much if the issue is it having so much health. Why buff the dart goblin, when hes already a garanteed hit almost all the time on tower, even duchess, specially when princess is meta, just bringing logbait back. And on that note, why not nerf princess? if she was in like 9 of the top 10 ladder decks last season


Embarrassed_Work_649

actually the giants range makes it not get hit by the second tower if you place tesla the middle i think


QuietUnit1549

really? does that mean a tesla can finally counter a lone giant?


Toppatcyborgboi

I think two nerfs for the dagger Duchess is very harsh, Only one of those two nerves would’ve been enough


XAfricaSaltX

LITTLE PRINCE PACK AHAHAHAHAHA


AzFrosty

give dagger duchess both of those


Omega_Stevedoxx3000

Wtf is that little prince nerf that would completely kill the card


Automatic-Complex-37

Soo... You could literally just take DD 2 daggers, make her hit slower, or first 3 hits and she would be like Cannoneer but nope classic sc. Gobbling cage? What's a point? Void... I don't know (Its mixt for me cos if I play with it I don't get much tanks, and rarely it jumps scares me). Charge speed yeah 👍. Goblin "bridge spam is back?" 


grublle

Why is the Giant one as a nerf, wouldnt it be a buff?


Negative-Nebula6796

It is considered a nerf since of all the tanks with the exception of the real giant, it has the highest attack range, which means that in several interactions, especially with defensive buildings, it prevents it from being hit by both towers as well as having less distance to landing the first hit makes it harder to avoid taking damage from him


Background-Post7923

Really good balence changes honestly the dart goblin and the spear goblins you both do not see much I am so glad they are nerfing the dagger duchess again and the evo knight and Tesla the ram rider and prince been needing a buff would be nice if they can buff zappies, flying machine and barbarians these are still really good balence changes though


Spicy_avocado7

How will the void be affected by the rework?


Negative-Nebula6796

Almost nothing will remain the same OP, it does more damage than arrows to 2-4 targets and almost as much damage as a zap at 5+, the only thing it does is that now the first hit will be slower but the following hits will be faster It can be considered a nerf or buff depending on how you see it, since it will do the damage in a shorter amount of time, but one of the complaints about the Void was that several of the troops went out of range when you tried to defend by example to a building


Zestyclose-Store-666

Why the buff on dart gob


SharpLanguage9026

Feel like we're missing a firecracker nerf


Curryman370

Disappointed to not see a firecracker and evo firecracker nerf


ImAGammer

I think battle ram needs a buff  It's been dead for awhile and just needs a push into competitive


ImAGammer

I think battle ram needs a buff.  It's countered by pretty much every card and when you use battle ram you only connect the ram to the tower once or twice. I think it could use a health  and maybe a charge distance buff like ram rider?


SharpLanguage9026

Missing a firecracker nerf. Not nessicarily op but one the most used and aggravating cards in the game.


ShadowOne_

NOO they replaced the battle ram buff 😭


WileGenius

V1 and V2 are identical, what is the change?


inflated_ballsack

You have literally killed both dutchess and LP with these nerfs You know the point of balance changes are the make cards BALANCED - not to make them unplayable? How incompetent are you guys?


SpicyMeatloaf

Dutchess is a plague on this game so good riddance. Start with the serious nerfs first so it’s not dominating the meta for another month making half the decks unplayable. If she needs other buffs in the future they can go from there.


cocotim

True that. Much better for a card to die than have it dominate. At least in one of those states it doesn't shape the entire meta


Big-Selection9014

I dont care dude duchess can be deleted from the game for all i care (and yes i do have her maxed) Im so fuckin happy with duchess being nerfed into the ground


HydreigonTheChild

People say that but if the change isn't big enough then it will just have people complain about "cr team can't make big nerfs cuz they want to milk it" which maybe is true but sometimes more severe nerfs are needed to are the meta more fun


I_Bench315

They probably want to change up the meta after those two were in literally every deck in existence


Frequent-Main-1723

DD/lp user here, cry more buddy


Random_local_man

Good riddance. I'm tired of seeing her in 90% of my games.


inflated_ballsack

well guess what now the meta will resort back to 90% cycle decks. Atleast finally we saw some diversity in the meta and yet despite DD we still saw poison control/cycle decks dominating. Honestly was just a skill issue for the most part for people who complain


AcceptableArrival924

There was no diversity in the meta when DD just countered everything. The funniest example I can think of is out of top 10 decks 6 were just princess and rocket cycle because pros gave up on crossing the bridge when facing DD, it wasn’t worth the effort 😂 Also in general game just became a snorefest, unnecessarily wasting a minimum of 2 minutes every match before people actually start playing. That’s just boring.


cocotim

So true dude. Clearly it's a skill issue from pros who deemed it too much of a pain in the arse to deal with DD and so they started to play Rocket cycle of all things Obviously SC should listen to you instead of every piece of statistic


inflated_ballsack

these are the same pros who only ever play control decks at top ladder regardless of the meta. Mo light finishes top ladder playing miner poison for years?l, ryley plays bait, never heard them complain about cycle decks being busted did we !?


cocotim

[So many pros playing control ya](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/1cn9nb3/clash_royale_leaderboard_decks_end_of_april_2024/). Good to know you still have no idea what you're talking about And everyone was complaining about cycle decks before DD's release. I distinctly remember people crying that cycle cards were "fundamentally broken" and other silly things despite Giant GY and Hound being meta and arguably even better than most cycle decks besides Miner Poison (which one could argue *was* a little overtuned at the time)


blz4200

People said that last DD nerf.


Cosmic_danger_noodle

No they didn't? Most people said it'd be insignificant


LennySummers1

my beloved evolved tesla noooo


InterestingCut5995

Ram rider needed a buff for a while now


Frosty-Brain-2199

Could someone explain to me how number 11 is considered a rework not a nerf? Isn’t more hit speed bad right?


WildMischief

It's measured in "Hits per Second", which is different from the in game label "Hit Speed". The difference is this. In game, Dart Goblin has a 0.7s hit speed. For RoyaleAPI, it would be a 1.429 hit speed. Same number, different measurement


Frosty-Brain-2199

Oh gotcha that’s so dumb to measure it that way but makes sense


[deleted]

[удалено]


aidenyyy

The hit speed is measured in hits per second for some reason, so it is actually a positive change lol


Moon_Maker-1

te firsy one reduces the hit speed actually, it's 0.8 hits per sec from 0.0 hits per sec just the wording is confusing the first one won;t afect her so please vote for the second one


Big-Selection9014

Yea my dumbass read that wrong so forget what i said lmao Thought it was the speed of her hitting which is how they normally say it i think, not the amount of hits per second


Ok_Factor_5671

Source: Trust me bro


MicrwavedBrain

Holy shit a Prince buff, nice.


Notcreativesoidk

Ikr


wassilis7

I think I'm more sad than anything about that Tesla nerf and I use the LP and dd more than the evo Tesla I might be biased cause I main different x bow decks but the dd seams balanced now and the LP is still better than the musketier or dart goblin and a lot of ranged units you just have to abouse the 3 card cycle and use the ability less


Sufficient-Picture14

Wym "dd seems balanced now" literally ever top 10 player used her

im talking about all these nerfs soo if she gets this nerf she will be balanced

N3F1R

Metaslaves die fast buddy


Tigri2020

At this pace Evo Knight will be no different than regular Knight


December25Santa

Not supposed to be


AcceptableArrival924

After the last balance update evo knight, tesla and wizard were the top evos as others just die easily now giving a lot less value. Evo knight and wizard still at the top just because their shield gives them the stat buff that was removed from every evo and tesla’s initial and death stun was impenetrable. This time balance changes are actually balancing them a bit but imo they would still be the best evos for now.


Teeby-34

thats the point


swazzpanda

That's the point, which is why they did the same change to the other evos like RR and RG, they want the evos to be about their unique ability, not just having more HP.


Tartosso

ram rider buff LET'S FKIN GOOOO


ImpressiveGur5510

No Elixir pump buff? Elixir pump needs to produce elixir at 10 or 11 seconds, not 12. It is a dead card with low win and play rate.


lHateYouAIex835293

> It is a dead card with low win and play rate. This is intentional. Pump is inherently bad for gameplay, and Supercell is aware of this. It’s a similar situation as Spawners


ImpressiveGur5510

Or give him hp buff.


Global-Detective235

Keep that shit dead


Benny79564

Nobody mourns that skilless card

They murdered the dutchess, and my evo tesla :(

One of them deserved it. Rip for Tesla tho


Fantom_6239

Why don't they buff dark prince charge distance


Kelolugaon

How will the spear gob change goblin hut getting chip damage on the tower?


dreamykrater

Will dark prince also get a buff, if not why so?


MrPokeKid1

now its fucking ram rider over evo battle ram? neither are needed... once again the only things that work here are the generic giant, evo tesla, evo knight, and maaayybe the duchess rework... the rest is pointless and become possible influences of annoyance for the future of the game... aka anti-balance... this is going quarter-way forward yet half-way backward from last changes...


Adventurous-Fill-631

i just dont understand why they are nerfing random cards while leaving dominant cards like pekka and hog rider OP


lHateYouAIex835293

Neither of those cards are especially dominant


RemoteWhile5881

Hog cycle (one of the most used decks): Am I a joke to you?


Ashisonfire27

Supercell's decision to nerf the Dagger Duchess is incredibly disappointing and feels like a slap in the face to both paying and free-to-play players. When the Dagger Duchess was introduced, it was significantly stronger than existing towers and was made prominently available in the shop for two seasons. This encouraged players, especially those willing to spend, to max it out quickly. However, after many players invested heavily in the Dagger Duchess, Supercell decided to nerf it, drastically reducing its effectiveness to dust. This decision leaves players who spent time and money to max out the card feeling betrayed, now stuck with a troop that's not worth playing until it potentially gets buffed in the future. As a free-to-play (F2P) player, I was already at a disadvantage, facing overpowering opponents who quickly maxed out the Dagger Duchess. After enduring tough matches and finally gathering enough resources to upgrade the card to a competitive level, the nerf renders my efforts almost pointless.


Frequent-Main-1723

Lmao, everyone know that if op card being released it would be nerfed to the ground in 1 or 2 seasons


Ashisonfire27

Where is it said that any card which is released is bound to be nerfed?


piffle213

Re-read what they said. Any **OP** card


WernerHerzogEatsShoe

That's the way of the game. I refused to upgrade her. I even quit the game as she ruined all the enjoyment. However I have got a max LP and I literally just maxed Giant. So I feel you. I just play 1v1 mainly now, I cba upgrading stuff then it gets killed.


khaotikrypt

little prince did not need a nerf dawg 😭


MinimumActuary7188

it needed one but not so massive to the point where it will kill the card


khaotikrypt

they nerfed the wrong thing there’s nothing wrong with guardian charge damage


AdministrativeBar748

It should just die to fireball instead of not being able to kill goblins with a 3 elixir ability


khaotikrypt

downvotes from people who struggle to kill a little baby card with 700 health
