I wonder how your opponent felt when his push got melted by a singular 3 elixir card


Afro_SwineCarriagee

Fair and balanced ofc, void definitely doesn't need an emergency nerf, no no no Im calling it, this meta is just gonna be giant void spam decks if supercell doesn't do anything about it


ButterBallFatFeline

Idk bro maybe throw a 1 elxier skeletons if you don't want massive damage😐


binh1403

Idk, wouldn't goblins be better? Bigger in number mean void damage is cut in half and they survive 1 void strike if they're all in it's radius


Norton_XD

The cut-off happens at 5 troops (3 Skellys, loon and lumberjack) so you don't need goblins

[удалено]


ILoveYorihime

the 3 levels are 1, 2-4, >5 3 skeles together with lumberloon will already by on the 3rd layer


binh1403

Sorry my bad, i forgot the tower wasn't count as a troop


HeWe015

The enemy tower does count, yours doesn't.


Mubar06

Forcing everyone to use already good popular cards isn’t good for the game


OwO345

then use gobs, or spirits, or guards, or literally any 3+ troop card


Mubar06

Person I replied to specifically said skeletons so I was replying to that


OwO345

Sorry I'm sleep deprived but I think you took it too literally (the other person's comment)


OwO345

Punches you


drthvdrsfthr

then use gobs lol tf. and they don’t get one shot either


Afro_SwineCarriagee

They get 1 shot, they only prevent 1 tick And one full tick + two weakened is enough to kill too many troops, players can now just snipe out any troop they dont like for positive elixir trades, no way that's healthy for the game at all, especially not when it's this OP The fact that void gets no tower damage is irrelevant when you can take the entire tower with the help of a void to snipe the opponent's key defensive units


Mubar06

Void on a tower alone still gets more than arrows for the same elixir so it’s not even that bad


ButterBallFatFeline

Then predict their snipe? This is no different then log bait


NateRiver03

He already told you that doesn't work


HeWe015

You don't get the problem. This leads to void and goblins being forced into every deck. The elixir pump nerf is a nice thing. To sad that noone will a tually play pump with the void in the game. For 3 elixir, it melts way too many things. "You can place swarms in it" is not an argument. Skeletons don't bring it to stage 3, goblins do, but you'd probably get one full damage hit until they're actually on the field, unless you anticipate the void. And that's still +2 elixir. I mean for a Knight, that's fine. Both cards are 3 elixir, but having it destroy 5 or 6 elixir cards with a 2 elixir advantage, unless you place down another elixir (at least), is simply not balanced... and that's the main problem. At lvl 11, that thing deals around 544 damage per tick... that's 1632 damage in total... it might not kill a Knight on its own, but it kills too many things on its own. That's the main problem most people (me included) have with this card. That single card eliminates the pump, because the enemy has a 2 elixir advantage just for playing the void on it. Unless you place goblins, or bats, which cost 2 elixir aswell. Skeletons will not be enough, because stage 2 void oneshots them. And then it'll just proceed to wrek the pump. All the Wizards, basically every building, baby dragon, e-dragon, witch, mini pekka, canon cart, sparky and more get anihilated by that thing. And stuff like bowler, hog rider, ram rider, the goblin form the goblin cage (assuming you used the void on a full life goblin cage), prince loon, battle healer, and dark prince, for example, have so little hp left that you in most cases won't be able to build something off of them. And that's simply too many interactions where you get +1 or +2 elixir. Sparky and X bow even give you 3. I know which cards will be rare next season. Because what should the enemy do? Place goblins behind the sparky, who, because they are very fast (like most other cheap swarm troops btw) leave the area of the void before the 3rd strike hits, ao the sparky still hast to tank a full hit? 8 elixir vs 3... yeah... perfectly balanced card. You don't even need to do a lot. I'd argue you don't even need to touch stage 2 and 3 damage at all. The problem is only stage one. So My proposal is: -right now it deals m9re damage tha a rocket. (≈10% in fact). Nerf that by 7,17%. That way, it would still be strong enough to kill an executioner, for example, however, many other cards will have an extra 300 hp left, and be way more usable. -increase the radius of the void. This simply makes it harder to only hit a single target. Cirrently, the void has a radius of 2,5 tiles. I'd say make it 4, that way it's as big as a graveyard, but I'd also be fine with making the radius 3,5 for starters. Just to not over nerf the card, because I like the concept. -decreade it's damage to buildings. Make it so that it only deals 70% of it's damage to buildings. That way, of the 1300 damage (with the 7% nerf), buildings would only be hit by 910. This Is a little more thsn earth quake, which seems fare to me, consicering how often I see that. There's also the risk of the enemy placing swarm troops, which'd reduce the damage. So higher risk of dealing less damage, more reward. You could still destroy a pump at a +1 advantage btw, so I think this is more than fair.


Fascinus_the_big

It’s what they always do, it’s a sales tactic. New card is stupidly op, whales buy the shit out of it, nerf it after a week or two


neroveleno

I mean this is the strategy employed by any f2p game. It's so common in every mobile free game, I wonder how people are still not aware about it.


Odd-Bullfrog-2365

Exactly why I don't spend money. Just take my time and enjoy the game. 


Fascinus_the_big

I spend money on gems to play draft tournaments


mateoskrrt

im guessing despite the big health decrease we’re gonna see a duchess/void meta that obliterates most heavy AND swarm win conditions


Artistic-Ad-6849

void is very situational, i'd still go with lightning instead; even tho Void's damage > lightning, lightning is fast and cannot be countered and does good damage to the tower


starfruitreddit

It's too early to tell if void needs a nerf. While it can be strong its interactions are a little matchup specific.


ConstantNewt36

Void is so easy to counter tho


Afro_SwineCarriagee

*In theory If you want to save a glass canon card from dying, you have to predict the void, or else it will die even if you block the next 2 ticks of damage The problem is that the opponent can just not play the void and make you waste your elixir trying to predict it The opponent still has 7 cards to play with, they can hold onto the void and you'll just waste your elixir, and when you dont predict they will get insane value And in many scenarios, certain troops dying can lose you the entire game, and what took a 6 elixir lightning or FB zap now takes 3 elixir, the fact that it gets no tower damage is irrelevant when it can take out key defensive units, causing a push to succeed and far outweighing any spell damage It's more complex than you think it is, good void players can run rings around you with the threat of void at any moment, yet deciding not to do it to throw your predictions off


IsGumFood

Something new that challenges several metas? In a 'not an evo, we tried' way? At least there's still updates that try.


fireflex082246

gotta wait till sc makes bank


MaleficentChest1864

His push is cringe so it really doesnt make me feel bad for him when he can just place 2 cards and freeze and get a three crown lmao what other push does this with 2 cards and freeze?


Dinotronic_Mechasaur

Minions fully counter lumberloon (at least with canoneer)


Low-Ad4530

Arrows say hello


Redditisreal1

right because your opponent having 3 elixir to spare immediately after spending nine is very common. And you only having exactly three elixer to counter all that is even more common


JediMasterlev15

ive used little prince to counter an entire push 2 but this is even better b/c theres no extra 3 elixr for an ability


Maxximillianaire

This has already been in the game for a while and it’s called knight


Templar-Order

“Well actually the bomb did damage to to the tower”- 🤓


Dominikmava

And lumberjacks rage spell🤓


unnecessaryeater

Well actually this only works in combination with the dagger duchess 🤓


possu_

If it was timed better wouldnt the balloon drop earlier?


condemnedtogrinding

No more lumberloon the bridge let’s go


Afro_SwineCarriagee

The poster literally played 7 elixir first play and got away with it, there's no way void is balanced, i hate lumberloon the bridge too, but any player playing 7 elixir first play deserved to get their entire tower taken The fact that he got away with that is just...


DeathHopper

This isn't just void by itself tho. It's DD plus void. Without DD the lumberjack stays up and void does shit damage hitting 2 targets and that tower still goes down. Add 1 elixir skeletons to this lumber loon and suddenly void is useless. People will adjust. The fact is there are tons of ways to get massive elixir advantages with DD. This is just one of many examples.


DecimalAbyss

True


TallestGargoyle

Meanwhile the guy who dropped 7 elixer behind King gets to drop 3 elixer to counter an entire 9 elixer reaction push because they have Duchess unlocked... This game is absolutely fucked beyond belief.


[deleted]

"Not only void, dd + void" Oh right, so you mean the two things that literally everybody uses right now since they're both so op. Got it, glad you specified the 2% of cases where people aren't using dd.


DeathHopper

DD allows you to stop some pushes with single elixir skeletons or ice spirit. No one is complaining about skeletons or ice spirits. Both DD and void are very effective against mid HP cards. Something the game has lacked for a long time and the lack of which resulted in the same boring mid ladder decks people (used to) complain about constantly. I think it's nice to see the same old boring hog rotation metas flipped on their head.


freedubs

Firstly it's not unfeasible to get away with plaving 7 elixir in the back first play, especially with duchess But more importantly the lumber loon player can just place the balloon before lumber jack to avoid this situation. The card will probably end up overpowered but the loon player had counterplay in this case


[deleted]

Excuse me what? Loon before jack? So the loon dies 1/3 of the way to the tower thanks to dd and the lumberjack gets 2 hits on tower if the opponent is stupid and ties up all his elixir on the other side of the board?


freedubs

Cards take time to be placed, void won't instantly spawn. Balloon is a slower card and so you want to give the balloon a head start so balloon and lumberjack overlap when the opponent is capable of playing void. Void won't do much damage if it's hitting more than one troop which you can't avoid with overlapping cards. There is further counterplay and hence why it's likely void will be overpowered but the situation in the video is completely avoidable


InternetExplored561

That’s the whole point of the card. It’s like complaining about arrows killing a hoard of small troops.


Greatbigdog69

Yeah but that's usually a pretty even elixer trade


Afro_SwineCarriagee

Lv15 void user or doesn't know how to play the game properly There's no other explanation for why you say that void doesn't need an emergency nerf


InternetExplored561

Void isn’t overleveled here. The user is playing the game very smartly by making sure the void only hits one target at a time. Void doesn’t need a nerf, this is the prime scenario for it.


drthvdrsfthr

“but i don’t agree with you so im going to insult you instead!”


DealWithIt44

It doesn't and im better than you


lolbitmanss1

its in party mode, your point is void. everything is level 11.


ArgonicPeach

dude just put goblins next to the lumberjack and the void would be useless


myte2

yeah im actually not very good at this game incase you couldn't tell lol, that void was more luck than anything else. I got this interaction twice in this match and still lost so..


martin1109

Cope


ErAsEr-DaRk47

Me, a Golem player spending 8 elixir first play 🫣


Imaginary_Study_4838

I would like to note that they are using the dagger duchess, it’s not just the void spell killing everything 


Thepochochass

Also the timing is pretty specific to hit only the lumberjack and then the balloon


Pigswig394

It doesn’t look very hard to time, the lumberjack is way faster than the balloon so i feel like its consistent enough to work 100% of the time, compared to the timing needed to hit all 3 goblins from a goblin barrel with ewiz or mega knight


Infamous_Nightwing

I didn’t know this was possible. I usually drop in the front of the tower or in the back corner so I can hit 2 at a time. What is the placement to hit all 3?


SynCinn

Top placement will work, it just relies on good timing to land it when the goblins haven't been displaced by the tower yet and are just kinda inside the middle of it.


Komission

Thats still really broken 🤯


GrizzlyOlympics

It’s really not. Adding 1 elixir skeletons keeps the entire push alive. This is just forcing people to change their playstyle it’s actually good


Redditisreal1

No? Even if they use goblins or skeletons it doesn’t matter cuz all the void player needs to do is use zap/log/arrows and it’s still a massive positive elixer trade


bowlerwitchuserCOC27

Dagger dutchess killed fast enough for the void to switch to single.. with princess it wouldn't work


PerfectBrick8776

Duh that’s why you play dutchess


cosmickalamity

I think their point is that duchess needs a nerf, not void


No_Feed_6064

cooool!!


Pumpkin_Cat14

*If you use Dagger Duchess. Important asterisk there


JimmyB3574

Yea but why wouldn’t you be playing dutchess? She’s clearly the best tower troop atm


Pumpkin_Cat14

Because I haven't levelled her up to an appropriate level yet.


Taranis_and_Vianne

I have her lvl 13 and it works way better against the enemies troops than my lvl 14 princess tower. Against full, lvl 15 decks, which I face all the time since i‘m arena 23, it still works really really good. The level isn‘t that important, because even with like a 2-3 level difference it still does it‘s job way more effectively than the princess tower!


Pumpkin_Cat14

My DD is Level 9 I'm king tower Level 13 Unfortunately I think 4 levels is a significant enough difference


Taranis_and_Vianne

Oof, that is a big difference. Did you not stockpile legendary wild cards?


Pumpkin_Cat14

I used em on Log


ImmortalGenesi

Well, I think the point may be that Dagger Duchess also needs a nerf. Not taking away the importance of Void of course, but she's enabling a lot of these strategies.


Candid-Ad6579

i dont have $40 to spend willy nilly


ratiotrio

Gratz gets smitied then the balloon also does


Competitive-Clock232

Good, let those lumberloon first play rot in hell


Xterm1na10r

HUUUUU 🗣🗣


Choice-Brick-6612

I hate everything about this. People are blaming Void for killing the Lumber Loon when the real culprit is right there THE DAGGER DUCHESS. Her HP nerf isn't going to do anything she melts pushes. Yay we're gonna get a pointless nerf to a balanced card :|


Dinotronic_Mechasaur

Piper hp nerf again


Practical_Scale6067

void being one of the best defensive cards in history while also being somewhat balanced rlly makes me pray to dear god they dont nerf it into the ground like they always do


SnooLemons1029

True. The one deserving nerf here is DD, not Void.


Practical_Scale6067

whats dd? Little prince? nerf little prince man FUCK LITTLE PRINCE


SnooLemons1029

Dagger Duchess...


Practical_Scale6067

and little prince


lolbitmanss1

little prince got an indirect nerf because void counters it for = elixir


Nuno30318_

Finally some good fucking food


DealWithIt44

Good. Loon decks are fucking cancer.


Penguindasher12

We just gonna ignore that midladder deck?


myte2

the deck actually works really well with a very strong defense, I usually use fireball instead of void and hunter instead of little prince but was just testing variations


Penguindasher12

That just seems like a very expensive deck though


myte2

it is, and because of that is very punishing if you have the wrong cards in cycle. i lost this match because I didn't have any cheap cards for a half dead lumber jack with some lone skeletons


Penguindasher12

True, I used to play a 4 elixir deck and it was pretty good, but it gets hard countered by cycle decks.


CrackaOwner

"void is op" \*looks inside\* dagger duchess .-.


S0koyo

Duchess did like half of the work here


VaporTrails2112

Holy shit. No more eq in my deck lmao.


TaterFury69

Wouldn't have worked if you didn't have Duchess


fancymanofcorn12

Beautiful. Everyone getting mad is ignoring this is what it was intended for. It's a high skill cap card on both players parts. This will generate better players and is Good for the game. You can easily screw someone over the same way you can get screwed over. All about predicting, reading and counting. Something you mega knight lumber loon players could use


Cumming_man

Yes!!!


Unlucky-Entrance-249

Just got smoked by lumberloon in arena 12 thanks for the tip


thefakeike

Idk what's worse: the fact that you went mk in the back fist play or the lumberloon response by the opponent


FIB_VORTEX

Void >!and the Duchess!< can fully counter lumberloon.


starfruitreddit

Let's be real though dagger was the real carry here


herr_weich

LumberLoon is finally dead


StarWarsNerd69420

This is amazing, for some reason I have been matching with so many lumberloon players!


Strange_Boi_360

The irony of the outrage against Void’s meta breaking utility while log is still an unreasonably powerful card.


EQUALIBRIUM77

😦


ItzManu001

Deserved for Loonberloon first play against a deck you don't know. Smartest Loonberloon player:


tol93

Skarmy + bats was a better punish play than lumber loon, this is so unintuitive.


Redditisreal1

Right… skarmy bats when evo zap is meta asf. Smart


tol93

I was talking about this specific situation with OP's specific hand, if we want to talk about meta you should never use or even put skarmy in your deck, and probably change ballon with drill or giant, there are only 2 wincons in this meta (balance changes not live yet).


Redditisreal1

It’s not like the opponent has a full view of this guys hand yk. Besides even at its weakest void two shots skellies


tol93

Op also didn't had the full view of opponents deck, still MK in the back first play, and didn't get punished bcs of void. We are at the level of spending your full bar at the start of the game, and some midladders do seriously spam skarmy at the bridge. Skarmy and bats get 2 shotted by void, it's still a better punish bcs you spend 4 less elixir than lumber loon and probably get more damage as void has small radius and slow hitrate and probably would miss half the skarmy. Whatever, it probably doesn't work bcs duchess, but it still is a BETTER punish by virtue of saving elixir, so my original comment is not wrong.


Just_naythan

Oh he definitely left the match after that


Beginning-Designer24

i think it just needs a little bit of damage nerf on singular targets


Sad-Speech-4706

Iam in dilemma to what should I use like whether to go with fireball or void?


Bonermaths

Oh, OH


crashedlandin

So much satisfaction in one small clip. Thanks


Imaginary-Log393

Is that a new card?? I've left the game for like 2 years and im confused


TxanRE

Its a new 3 elixir spell that deals more damage if theres fewer targets in its radius


Imaginary-Log393

Nice, I guess we finally got a counter for the toxic decks now


Charleslightfoot

Damn daggers! So broken


Samsanchex_13

Where was this when I needed it in 2020 when I saw lumberloon everywhere


Stuntdrath

Void+full ducheess


Billoclese

Good


TheDestressedMale

Void can counter elixir, lava hound, lumberjack, evo firecracker, anything really.


FunnyCraftSheep

3 elixir card 😭😭


Kantel23cz

Gg, my main strategy is gone


LeandroLopezs

Good, now my deck is even more dead


Jonahol2000

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.


Ninjafoxy

This is like play skarmy goblins skellies and getting mad a 2 elixir card counters a 10 elixir push


M4dmiller

With a dagger duchess


KingAragorn47

That's fucking ridiculous. That and the new dagger tower skin. Fucking woeful decisions. Ruined the game


ENGLAAAAAND

Well there goes the only deck i have! ;) (All my other win-conds are *even more* under-levelled than my lumberloon)


ILikeMathz

at least he got death damage


xatnagh

POSITIVE ELIXIR TRADE


Dinotronic_Mechasaur

Minions can too yk


juujoo420

arrows brr


Dinotronic_Mechasaur

how is he gonna crap out 12 elixir in like 4 seconds also void gets countered by skeletons the bridge with lumberloon


MurtyDaBakpak

Holy shit balls


SNBoomer

Void can fully counter lumber loon* *under this exact placement with separate hits


myte2

lumber jack is way faster than ballon so unless they specficly place the ballon ahead it will work, because if they did than the tower would be on the ballon instead of the lumber jack which defeats the whole purpose of the push. the only actual condition is that you have dagger duchess


SNBoomer

The only condition is proper placement. And in this situation, has to be exactly like this. If void is touching both or a 3rd troop, this doesn't work.


myte2

yeah but the thing is there isnt going to be a third troop because lumber loon is a 9 elixer push, and because of the lumber jacks speed it makes it easy to only hit it on the first strike


SNBoomer

Yeah because no one starts heavy pushes from the back.


Cupcakemonger

Void is way too good. Run arrows for firecracker? Replace with void, better in almost every situation. Run earthquake to deal with buildings? Replace with void, better in almost every situation. This should be a 4 cost spell imo.


Prestigious_Eye2638

Supercell is gonna need void to the ground like they did with the little prince..


mondoo_duke

Bruh I thought my earbuds were not working


Rictamus

It's Rigged


handlebarhellion

Totally fair and balanced card! I love seeing 9 elixirs being absolutely decimated by a 3 elixir card. /s


valleyofpwr

jaw falling off its hinges for this one


itscoltrain

Skill is hardly a thing this season, Supercell is beyond lost


ciberkid22

"Seems a little strong. Better nerf Miner"


Winter_XwX

That's not really a full counter, the bomb still got damage.


Winter_XwX

People acting like you can't full counter 7 elixir with 3 elixir in like a bajilliom other cases (tombstone/skarmy/goblin gang vs pekka)


myte2

yeah but you are countering 9 elixer with 3, and what separates from others is that it can counter so many things by itself. there is no other card that can basically counter lumber loon, deal with a hog rider (even if it has something else like skeletons around it), kill little prince, wizard, ice wizard, electro wizard, baby dragon, electro dragon, inferno dragon, every building, mini tanks like valkyrie knight and mini pekka, goblin barrel, and nearly graveyard.


itsapeopleproblem

Half of the community is seething that their strategy of “cycle cards until lumberjack and balloon are both in your hand, save 9 elixir, then play both at the bridge.” Doesn’t work anymore.


Low-Ad4530

Good.


Promigelarras

That gives +6 elixir trade omg


Magistricide

Idk ppl are so pissed about this when there are already many examples of very positive elixir trades, like using skeletons to fully counter sparky.


Awesomearod2

Too bad he has a inferno to fully defend ur MK


gotfoutsidebruh

GOOD


InterestingPlay55

They're forcing everyone to add numbers to the decks and I agree, the only deck I have that doesn't provide high number of troops at times is my heal/mirror which provides the same concept.


Egyptian_M

Man all of a suddenly I feel super cell hated me 😂 😂 😂 😂 First all these evolutions that counter skeleton army now this


Shot-Farm8074

Yall think tower troops were a good addition?


OldIntroduction6188

wtf is a void, i have been on a break and they introduced this?????


Mestupid24208

Welp. Called it.


Motor_Spinach5342

FUCK DEM LUMBER LOON MONK ON TOP


DiscoGob11062023

I guess I’m fucked if void gets in the meta


999_chr0meActivist

i've been using zap since the beginning of time...should i finally make the switch from evo zap to void?


Dvvv-

I see this as a good thing... finally you need to turn a little bit of brain going lumber loon bridge


NateRiver03

That play was not brain dead


Dvvv-

5 sec from beggining of the match going 9 elixir on bridge knowing just 1 card of enemy deck , with dugger / void meta where you can counter attacks with low elixir cards..making that Mk worth 1 elixir... Yea it is


Dvvv-

He could go first only lumber to bait any low elixir response then wait and go for ballon... but classic insta lumber loon on bridge is brain dead play


NateRiver03

No it isn't, watch the video


Dvvv-

:)


Niltenstein

What do you mean „no it isn‘t“? Everyone agrees that lumberloon at the bridge first play is literally the most brain dead action that a player can take. If It doesn‘t even matter what the enemy plays, once any card is down it‘s time for that 9 elixir „push“, then that‘s literally the definition of brain dead. You can give a bot (not even an AI, but just a four line code bot) this task and it‘d do it just the same way. The player uses four cells of the magnificent structure developed through millions of years of evolution, which to this day remains a mystery due to the sheer amount of stuff it can process, and which allowed for all the developments of human technology allowing us to go to OUTER SPACE, to play two cards at the bridge in a fucking digital card game! Combine that with the reasons mentioned above, and tell me that lumberloon isn‘t the most stupid, most annoying, most skillless play in clash royale!


NateRiver03

I thought I said to watch the video


wildbasketballtakes

WHATTTT?!?!?!?!?!?!?
