Deck Spotlight

Bombs Awaaaay (3.6)

Cards: Giant, Barbarians, Minions, Fire spirits, Wizard, Balloon, Spear Goblins, Zap

Main Cycle: The key to this deck is to make sure you have your giant before starting your cycle. If you don’t have the giant, cycle to it, and just defend until then. Barbarians, Zap, Spear Goblins, Minions and Fire spirits can be used defensively as needed until you have your cycle. When your Giant arrives, drop him in the back by your king tower. Follow that up with a wizard behind it, some fire spirits, minions/spear goblins, and then be prepared to Zap! Do not use the Balloon until the second cycle – so you will see what air defense your opponent has. Then… drop bombs on them, as indicated in the name 🙂

KABOOM!!! (4.0)

Cards: Prince, Hog Rider, Freeze, Rocket, Spear Goblins, Arrows, Bomber, Barbarians

Main Cycle: This is a defensive deck (with the exception of the hog rider). Use everything defensively, and counter what your opponent is doing. If you are at full elixir, make sure you cycle with cards like the bomber, the hog rider, and the spear goblins. Counter with the prince when possible, he will lead the way to victory on the other end of the battlefield. Save Rocket for the end when possible, but if you need it to kill 3 musketeers or a sparky, if needed. Remember, when you win, you must yell out, KABOOM!!! And then walk away.

Hey, Whatever Works. (4.1)

Cards: Royal Giant, Bomber, Arrows, Zap, Witch, Musketeer, Elixir Collector, Barbarians

Main Cycle: At 10 elixir, drop your Elixir collector wherever you choose (we recommend behind a tower). At 10 elixir again, drop the Witch in the back by the King Tower. This is key, to throw off your opponent and also keep them distracted. When she and her skeletons get to the river, drop the Royal Giant (RG) in the other lane by the river. Follow your RG up with your Musketeer and bomber (what you choose first is situational depending on opponents troops, but in the end they should both back the RG up). Use your barbs for defense against hogs and larger units. Use your zap and arrows to defend against hordes of troops like goblins and minions. It’s OK to use Arrows and Zap during your pushes (but be mindful you also need to defend – so use them sparingly).

Mike from Wales!

Hello guys,

I’m Mike from rainy Wales.

I love your podcast, I downloaded it last week, and iv just finished listening to episode 11. iv just got into arena 7 and I’m on a 12 undefeated run. my deck consists of

  • lvl 4 pekka
  • lvl 3 balloon
  • lvl 2 prince
  • lvl 9 archers
  • lvl 8 skeletons
  • lvl 6 tombstone
  • lvl 2 rage
  • lvl 8 arrows

in your previous episode you mentioned that fast moving troops push slow moving troops, I didn’t realise that. so I have a simple tactic. drop pekka at the back, elixir is usual at 10 by the time the pekka gets to the bridge, place prince behind pekka, leaves me 5 Elixir, then watch what the opponent drops, if just ground troops I drop balloon and rage, it’s devasting.my other troops are for defence only. I react depends what opponent does. my favourite part of your show are your thoughts on certain cards and decks.

brilliant.

keep it going lads!

Spoderman

Hey guys love the podcast I discovered it about a week ago and have been listening to it ever since.I’ve been trying to join one of the clans but they both seem to be full. My screenname is also spoderman. I’m a level 8 player at the 2k trophies and I could use some advice about how to get farther into royal arena.

Thanks and keep up the good work,

Spoderman

PS: Hog Riiiidaaaaa

Love the show, keep up the great work fellas.

Your clairvoyance on wanted updates seemed a little too uncanny.  I have not listened to it again line by line but, some if not most of the changes were geared towards your suggestions…Minus the mute button…

I suggest going over all of the changes that happened on the fourth and comparing them to what you mentioned you wanted changed in the last episode.  

I now use the tournament system to test new decks mentioned in your podcast.  It is an easy way to test your deck on a diverse group without losing trophy count.  

Thanks for doing what you do.

BOOM!

lapeste1972 – Binge listened (5 Stars)

United States

I found this podcast this week, and I can’t stop listening. I love this game, but I was unsure how a podcast dedicated to the game would work out. Let me tell you it’s awesome. The hosts have great synergy and manage to keep me riveted for an hour or more! Keep up the great work.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the opening theme music is epic. It reminds me of the great video game music from Nintendo.
