Just letting you know, DO NOT paint the cones on your kefs. They are aluminum drivers, when drivers are made of a soft material you can dye them but with aluminum you will affect sound quality. If i were you if it really bothers you, you could reach out to kef. They make the LS50s in various finishes as well as have different coloured drivers depending on finish. Just order new drivers from kef in your desired finish.
Hey Edgar, I love the excitement behind the speaker upgrade! The 8k resolution comparison had me grinning because I can remember what it was like discovering the difference in audio clarity when I upgraded my recording studio speakers. Regarding painting the copper center of the speaker diaphragm, as long as the material is a hard surface (actual metal) you should be okay. Just keep in mind that paint will add some weight to the cone which means the magnetic driver system will have to work harder to move the cone in and out to produce the sound you want to hear. This may result in some high frequency loss, and since this is not the tweeter, it may affect the upper mid-range where the crossover happens between the the main driver produces and the frequencies the tweeter produces. The only way to measure this accurately would be to use a frequency analyzer tool to show a graph. Set up a microphone in the sweet spot (where your head would be when you sit in front of them) and play a “sine sweep” through the speakers. If you do this before and after the paint, you should be able to see the difference in response characteristic the paint adds to the diaphragm. This will likely be a minimal difference, and you’ll want to make sure you put the microphone in exactly the same spot for both tests. Also, using a measurement microphone (fairly inexpensive) will help the accuracy as well. Message me if you are curious about this and have questions! I’d be happy to help
As a music producer, glad to see ed upgrade those speakers. A lot of people miss this feature in their own setups and it's such a greatly missed opportunity for a far better user experience whether you're into making music, playing games or just watching video.
Moisture meter is used in case of flooding situations. You can use it to determine the areas where water damage took place in your sheet rock and studs. This is helpful so you don't replace/repair more than what was damaged by the water spill.
Lookin like you taking a break from the gym my dude. I feel yah, I’ve been on an extended break myself. Fatherhood, family, and work will do that. Hoping to get back on it soon!
put the mini pc on the right hand side of your office, either on an end table or on the right side of the desk. Makes it easier to route the cables behind everything since the back of the PC will be facing the right direction.
For the placement of your sff pc, you could attach it under your desk like Optimum Tech did (you can refer to one of his videos). The pc would be “invisible” from the front since it would be under the countertop, it would lead in better temps and less noise overall.
Hey Tech! I'm happy to see you and your family doing well. I just moved into a house myself and I'm looking for ways to set up my very first gaming/video editing station. I'll be looking at your videos for ideas. I'll also appreciate any recommendations if you can. Thanks bro!
if it is an itx build, you can most it under the desk. it actually will have better thermals and most itx cases don't have tempered glass so they aren't a major showpiece
Edgar, you should make friends with those construction workers. You could have asked some of them help you out bringing in the table. From my experience they don't tend to be jerks about helping out. Also it might be a plus for you with noise control. They might be able to work with you when you're recording and reduce noise.
Ngl, personally i think the gold chrome accent on the speakers look amazing, and give just a touch of colour to your set up as it is literally just white which can get almost a bit boring to look at but all in all set up looks great so far.
The one thing I wish I had right now is the nvidia broadcast option. It is a total game changer! I can't afford more than what i have right now. I have the gtx 980, even though I feel fortunate to have that because it does work great and allows me to play all my games, but one day I'll be able to upgrade and get to use nvidia broadcast. It makes a huge difference.
When trying to find a stud, for a start look up at your electrical outlet and low voltage they almost always will be nailed onto a stud, therefore your stud finder might not be working right or user error. Also not sure if you'll do this or not but you can get a hole saw and make holes on desk with plastic grommet for cable management. 👍
The audio sounded a bit tinny with the nvidia settings enabled imo, but maybe Rode has some software that could help that or that could provide you a similar solution to your noise issue. The setup is looking awesome though man!
My setup is about to take me 6 months to build as im building my own desk and not buying from ikea, pc though will be from pc-specialist for a watercooled one, im working so hard to get there but ill show it when done, im sure you’d love it Ed 😂
Setup Looking good Edgar! I'm really interested to see how you setup and wire your head board with all the wires and how how much space between the wall and the headboard. I personally rent so I could never spend the time an effort into my setup like this only for me to move a year or so later. But yours looking AMAZING! Keep it up!
Hey Ed. Your videos are absolutely STUNNING and just ENTERTAINING. 🤩🔥 I'm very happy that what you long awaited for, which is of course your DREAM SETUP, has finally started and is on the process. Not lying, the best part for me was the whole video or should I say THE DREAM DESK SETUP JOURNEY, Until... I saw SHILOH. During your outro, what I mean is from 37:52 till the end, I pretty much did not pay attention to you or what you were saying, except when you were talking about your Custom Tech Source RGB Logo, and your acoustic panels as well, but other than, I had my eyes on SHILOH. She was in joy during the outro and it was the CUTEST thing I've ever seen on the Tech Channel. 🥰💐
one more bracket in the center of the desk and maybe 2 legs on the corners would be best because thats a damn heavy desk. dope setup thank you for sharing!
If it's is an actual SFF build for your streaming pc then I would suggest the method Optimum Tech used with an NR200P case or something along those lines. It could easily be mounted underneath the desk and off to one side if you think it would be aesthetically pleasing enough.
Wow i was searching up setup videos for inspo for my new home and office, And i found you have the same exact model home as me and same office! What a small world lol
I’m so happy I found your channel I just want to say I love how you’re not selfish about the information you give us and you explain all the tools we need also the stuff to add into our gaming set up if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t even known half the tools or what to do or start with building mines keep it up I love it ❤ new subscriber
You should definitely mount mini red to the wall under the desk directly under big red v4 and do like a half and half colour way like maybe red and purple then obviously white 😁
well just giving out my personal ideas for your streaming pc 1. you can create a big type pc (2 side by side) i..e your main pc and streaming pc but color themed matched etc..(problem is that you might have to rebuild your current pc so just dropping it here) 2. keeping the streaming pc in the opposite wall of the setup (hanging or ground..upto you) like keep it where you will be keeping ur others stuffs at and just draw the hdmi / whatever cabling required from it to your setup anyhow u prefer 3. how about u somehow fit a pc in one of your drawers (the white one which is in this old temporary setup) just giving this idea since i dont know where you plan to keep the drawers but yea
This is amazing it clearly tells you never had the move boxes or anything or had a job in a warehouse or ever worked with a dolly those things are made to go up stairs all you have to do is lean it and pull a little bit that was embarrassing
i know this is a bit late to add but why not use a permanent maker pen so it doesnt add the weight of paint and shouldnt break or flake off with the vibrations from the speaker cone
I think a solution to mini red and big red v4 placement would be to maybe fit a dual system inside the one big red v4 case and then hang it on the wall over your setup or maybe you could put mini red on a shelf somewhere off to the side where you can still see it but so that it is far off so it doesnt mess with the symmetry aspect of your setup
Although I did like the video it was super hard to watch the moving the table into the house process. I feel like you made it harder on yourself then it needed to be. LOL Great video though! Love the content. You inspired me!
Super setup in the making, great to see the build process and that it doesn't happen overnight. Looking forward the next steps. Ps: for the sub you can get the Wireless Subwoofer Adapter Kit - KEF KW1 to keep things wireless
Can wait to see the final setup, I might "stole" some of your ideas as i'm about to create mine, setup wars wait for me 😜 Well about your table top, hmm... well i think it's way too expensive for what it is, i'm pretty sure any wood worker would make you a nice and solid one for half price. Especially that it is made in laminate... well not the choice I would have done, but i respect your, it's your money bro 😁
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider's landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough.
Just letting you know, DO NOT paint the cones on your kefs. They are aluminum drivers, when drivers are made of a soft material you can dye them but with aluminum you will affect sound quality. If i were you if it really bothers you, you could reach out to kef. They make the LS50s in various finishes as well as have different coloured drivers depending on finish. Just order new drivers from kef in your desired finish.
good to know
Hey Edgar, I love the excitement behind the speaker upgrade! The 8k resolution comparison had me grinning because I can remember what it was like discovering the difference in audio clarity when I upgraded my recording studio speakers.
Regarding painting the copper center of the speaker diaphragm, as long as the material is a hard surface (actual metal) you should be okay. Just keep in mind that paint will add some weight to the cone which means the magnetic driver system will have to work harder to move the cone in and out to produce the sound you want to hear. This may result in some high frequency loss, and since this is not the tweeter, it may affect the upper mid-range where the crossover happens between the the main driver produces and the frequencies the tweeter produces. The only way to measure this accurately would be to use a frequency analyzer tool to show a graph. Set up a microphone in the sweet spot (where your head would be when you sit in front of them) and play a “sine sweep” through the speakers. If you do this before and after the paint, you should be able to see the difference in response characteristic the paint adds to the diaphragm.
This will likely be a minimal difference, and you’ll want to make sure you put the microphone in exactly the same spot for both tests. Also, using a measurement microphone (fairly inexpensive) will help the accuracy as well. Message me if you are curious about this and have questions! I’d be happy to help
ooh
Bruh he said “That’s all we gonna do today” and all he did was move the table top from the garage to the room. He low key got me on that one 😂😂
Same lol

Moisture meter is used in case of flooding situations. You can use it to determine the areas where water damage took place in your sheet rock and studs. This is helpful so you don't replace/repair more than what was damaged by the water spill.
Me watching this as my dads man cave just flooded in the basement for the third time.
He could've used that when his toilet clogged🤣
Lookin like you taking a break from the gym my dude. I feel yah, I’ve been on an extended break myself. Fatherhood, family, and work will do that. Hoping to get back on it soon!
The floating desk looks so good damn - this is gonna be a dope series, looking forward to the upcoming parts! 🔥

@@mohamedahmedgamal4388 yeah that’s the point of an sff pc that Ed wants to put together for streaming
that would look so good.
the exact same idea a had when he said were to put his second pc, i immediately though about optimum tech itx build and placement.
Let’s gooooo the king of cable management has come to show us his ways
Hey Tech! I'm happy to see you and your family doing well. I just moved into a house myself and I'm looking for ways to set up my very first gaming/video editing station. I'll be looking at your videos for ideas. I'll also appreciate any recommendations if you can. Thanks bro!

Glad to see ed happy! Hope everything is going well with life!
30:55 When i saw KEF on the boxes i was like daaaaaaaamn ! my man !
Bro Ed's hearts feels like he's giving you a seal of approval, great seeing you be happy bro. As always, a great video!!
once he said "that's all I have energy for today" it got me but what he's going through I would understand much love for still getting content out
Omg I can already imagine how it will look it looks so amazing 😀😀😀 i can't wait to see the finished product 😄👍👍👍
When is part 2 coming out I'm so excited!!!
That nvidia broadcast really did work wonders, I didn’t think the change was gonna to be that noticeable but it rlly was
Love to see that your happy again you never fail to amaze me with your setups keep up the good work mate 💕
if it is an itx build, you can most it under the desk. it actually will have better thermals and most itx cases don't have tempered glass so they aren't a major showpiece

For the speakers I think getting some speaker grills would be best, most are magnetic and is a lot less risky than painting huge speaker themselves

7:26 yes Ed, getting it up IS the most important part.
I think it would turn out well if you wall mount mini red above big red. Then you can run the cables through the wall channel
I think you should put mini red inside the desk with some type of acrylic or glass to cover it just an idea!
that cable management burnt my eyes. not expected from the setup guru himself !!
I’m literally so excited for this series! Looking amazing so far! Huge fan btw! Idek how long I’ve been watching you lol it’s been years.
Buy the stands for the KEF speakers and place the speakers next to your desk! Way cleaner!
Nice to see that smile after the covid situation and the house problems , glad to see the cheerful Ed again , cheers
should get an impact drill to drive those lag bolts, i mean it'll still hold but Impact drills gives that little extra tightness!
Ed's been putting so much trust into the the Conner brackets giving me flashbacks when my whole wall got ripped out because of them 😭
put mini red on your ceiling perfect place!
Good stuff! I think you need to upgrade the headphones. Get something like a HD560s or DT900 Pro Xand you should be all set.
How about putting mini red in a mini itx open air case and putting it on a floating shelf that is exactly the same size as your case
When trying to find a stud, for a start look up at your electrical outlet and low voltage they almost always will be nailed onto a stud, therefore your stud finder might not be working right or user error. Also not sure if you'll do this or not but you can get a hole saw and make holes on desk with plastic grommet for cable management. 👍
yeah that left wall would be a nice spot for mini red
The audio sounded a bit tinny with the nvidia settings enabled imo, but maybe Rode has some software that could help that or that could provide you a similar solution to your noise issue. The setup is looking awesome though man!
You could get some white mesh or fabric to put over the gold part on the speakers

Rlly though it’s fine, don’t think there was a drug in the middle, but as for two legs on the corner…what’s the point of the brackets then?
300iq Ed you love to see it glad your doing well and I hope you are having fun making your dream setup my guy
It's a good thing that you have recovered Ed
If it's is an actual SFF build for your streaming pc then I would suggest the method Optimum Tech used with an NR200P case or something along those lines. It could easily be mounted underneath the desk and off to one side if you think it would be aesthetically pleasing enough.
Me at the beginning: ED, YOUR CABLE MANAGMENT!!
put mini red on left or right wall and on opposite wall put nano leaf panels to balance the look

its good to see you in better and happyer condition
i realy like where this is going
You should definitely mount mini red to the wall under the desk directly under big red v4 and do like a half and half colour way like maybe red and purple then obviously white 😁
thanks to you i fnally got my own pc and im loving it
You could make a display up against the wall by the door it might just be me but I think it would look good
I am glad to see that you are happy Ed I am excited to see how the setup turns out
Woah woah woah, that “nonsense” is gladly something I’d take off your hands
This looks sick man I am looking forward to pt 2 and I feel really happy for you this is gonna be a banger
well just giving out my personal ideas for your streaming pc
1. you can create a big type pc (2 side by side) i..e your main pc and streaming pc but color themed matched etc..(problem is that you might have to rebuild your current pc so just dropping it here)
2. keeping the streaming pc in the opposite wall of the setup (hanging or ground..upto you) like keep it where you will be keeping ur others stuffs at and just draw the hdmi / whatever cabling required from it to your setup anyhow u prefer
3. how about u somehow fit a pc in one of your drawers (the white one which is in this old temporary setup) just giving this idea since i dont know where you plan to keep the drawers but yea
Idk when this was recorded but good to see you doing well. God bless you and your family. Can't wait to see the finish setup
This is amazing it clearly tells you never had the move boxes or anything or had a job in a warehouse or ever worked with a dolly those things are made to go up stairs all you have to do is lean it and pull a little bit that was embarrassing
I like the first mic sound actually
I like how you get annoyed at other peoples setups cable management but you just didn't bother
Damn this guy planned this for ages, he's been conceptualising it since at least setup wars-243 about 9 months ago
looking foward to this setup
I think it would be better in my opinion to get a standing desk you can drop it and lift it up its great
you can mount mini red underneath the desk
Crazy how when you brought in the desk, and said the video was over, an ad popped up when the screen went black.
You fucked my day up. Now my baby fever is at an all-time high on V-day. JUST FUCKING GREAT. keep up the good work I guess
i know this is a bit late to add but why not use a permanent maker pen so it doesnt add the weight of paint and shouldnt break or flake off with the vibrations from the speaker cone
House is beautiful man, well done
On another note, as much as I love your front doors and think they’re aesthetically amazing, my partner wouldn’t feel safe in the house with them
1:39 ed slowly ascending to the heavens
I think a solution to mini red and big red v4 placement would be to maybe fit a dual system inside the one big red v4 case and then hang it on the wall over your setup or maybe you could put mini red on a shelf somewhere off to the side where you can still see it but so that it is far off so it doesnt mess with the symmetry aspect of your setup
who else thought that the video would actually end
31:41 "Ya boy Ed from SourceTech" I had to rewind because I thought my brain was tripping.
Although I did like the video it was super hard to watch the moving the table into the house process. I feel like you made it harder on yourself then it needed to be. LOL
Great video though! Love the content. You inspired me!
Mini red will prob look good over big red 4 or atleast that is what I think
Just love how his temporary setup was still way better than mine
Exciting! Can’t wait for part 2! Can you skin the speakers? Your a big enough TH-camr maybe you can ask the company to send you custom ones 😂
Super setup in the making, great to see the build process and that it doesn't happen overnight. Looking forward the next steps. Ps: for the sub you can get the Wireless Subwoofer Adapter Kit - KEF KW1 to keep things wireless
Happy for you, bro! Love the setup ideas
amazing video im so exiceded for it to be done :) :).
So happy your back your vid are so inspirational to make me build my own set up
My man causally said that he found a laser level tucked away in his garage like it was just a soccer ball :'v 17:04
this is more likely a 6 billion dollar setup! DAMN awesome can't wait for part 2
Awesome! I'm hyped!
Hi Tech, you deserve this upgrade and I wish you and your family well!! 😁
Can wait to see the final setup, I might "stole" some of your ideas as i'm about to create mine, setup wars wait for me 😜
Well about your table top, hmm... well i think it's way too expensive for what it is, i'm pretty sure any wood worker would make you a nice and solid one for half price. Especially that it is made in laminate... well not the choice I would have done, but i respect your, it's your money bro 😁
I have Kef q150s connected to Adcom amp coming from a Schiit DAC. Sounds sublime. KEF FTW.
put a hold under your desk for your streaming pc with red led lights would look nice since you are tech source :)
On the wall under the desk for the streaming rig maybe?
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the
Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast
building-targeting, melee troop with
moderately high hitpoints and damage. He
appears just like his Clash of Clans
counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a
beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing
in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider
card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
His fast move speed can boost forward mini
tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the
same time, he can also function as a tank for
lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he
still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap
swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as
they are nearly as fast as him and usually
force more than one card out of the
opponent's hand.
The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as
they can damage him down and defeat him
quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians
in particular can fully counter him without
very strict timing on the defender's part,
though be wary of spells.
A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if
placed right on top of it. However, if you
place something in front of the Hog Rider, the
Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider
and hit the card in front of it more. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze
can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog
Rider to deal much more damage than
anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to
counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only
effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats
will immediately be defeated by the spell,
while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions
will be at low enough health to be defeated
by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball.
However, this strategy isn't very effective
against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a
while to destroy the building, giving the
opponent ample time to articulate another
counter.
Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of
damage during the freeze time, but this can
allow the opponent to set up a massive
counterpush. For this reason, players should
either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when
they have other units backing it up from a
counterattack, or if the match is about to end
and they need to deal as much damage as
possible.
It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider
simply to destroy a building, especially if it is
the only building targeting unit available, as
defeating Crown Towers becomes
substantially more difficult. Spells or simply
waiting out the lifetime of the building are
more effective. The exception to this is an
Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he
can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir
trade, though the damage from both Princess
Towers will usually mean he does not survive
to deal any damage to them. However, if the
opponent sends in defending troops, it can
be an opportunity to gain spell damage value.
In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might
be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider
against one building. These decks shuffle
their card rotation quick enough, that they
will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the
next building arrives in the opponent's card
rotation.
Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and
Flying Machine can snipe those buildings,
preserving some of the Hog Rider's health,
possibly allowing it to get some Tower
damage.
When there are buildings placed in the
middle to counter the Hog Rider,
understanding the placement of the Hog
Rider and the type of building placed can help
the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings.
Passive buildings such as spawners and
Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than
defensive buildings; which means that if a
passive building was placed 3 tiles away
from the river in the middle of the opponent's
side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to
bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will
get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox
than a passive building, which means if that
if a defensive building was placed three tiles
away from the river in the middle of the
opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the
very left or right side of the Arena may be
able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox.
If the player has a building already placed
down in the center of the arena, and the
opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider
at the edge of the arena, they can use certain
air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the
building as it jumps over the river, effectively
denying the bypass attempt. They must be
already hovering over the correct placement,
as very quick reflexes are required to
correctly perform this technique.
For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion
Horde, they should be placed right in front of
the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed.
For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion,
Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon,
Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound,
stagger the above placement one tile to the
right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left
side of the arena, and vice versa.
They can also use ground troops to achieve
the same result. Something like an Ice Golem
deployed at the Hog Rider's landing spot will
obstruct his path and force him to go around
the unit, which causes him to be closer to the
building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building
targeting troops due to his own Very Fast
speed and building only targeting if he is
placed on the fourth tile from the bridge,
slightly into the opposite lane. He can also
stall grounded units when placed right at the
bridge. He will pull them towards him while
deploying, and then be untargetable by them
when he jumps over the bridge. After landing,
he will pull them back. This can be useful
when the player needs to deal damage in the
same lane they are defending. It will also help
separate troops behind a tank in a large
push.
A Tornado placed on the second tile front of
the player's King's Tower and staggered two
tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate
it without any damage dealt to the Princess
Tower, helping them in defending future
pushes. This can also be a method of
mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess
Tower, but doing this more than three times
may result in the King's Tower's health being
low enough to be targeted directly, opening
up the possible threat of a back door three
crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog
away from the Princess Tower into the
attacking range of all three Crown Towers,
which will negate all damage as long as none
of them are already distracted
A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the
Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend
against most troops, while the Valkyrie can
protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms
or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used
to deal damage to the tower.
This can be effectively countered by
Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and
severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog
Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but
the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer
will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer
is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will
have enough time to severely damage the
Tower.
The Hog Rider should be placed behind the
Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in
front of the Hog Rider, protecting it.
A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel
can be awkward for the opponent to defend
against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is
tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the
most effective way to deal damage. However,
a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with
minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir
trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was
placed directly on the Tower.
Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can
deal devastating damage. If executed
properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank
while the Balloon threatens to deal massive
damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any
buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very
vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as
neither of the troops target anything but
buildings. Additionally, they are easy to
separate, due to the disparity in move
speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the
Balloon can be played in different lanes to
spread the opponent's defenses thin.
However, a building or Tornado can bring
them back together for an easier defense.
The Hog Rider can be paired with the
Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and
damage combo. It is a very fast combo with
an extremely high damage output potential,
so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a
swarm. If this happens, use a spell like
Arrows to render the opponent defenseless.
If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the
dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even
more dangerous than it normally is.
A fast and deadly combination is the Hog
Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units
are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much
more damage and does not attack only
buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with
troops like the Executioner and Musketeer.
However, this combo can be defeated with
swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat
both of them since neither of them can deal
area damage. They are also unable to target
air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this
easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the
bridge as soon as the match starts. If the
opponent does not react fast enough, the
Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of
damage to the Princess Tower. This can also
allow the player to quickly scout the
opponent's deck if they happen to react to
him fast enough.
dude the sound difference is insane
The desk alone is better than my setup😭 can’t wait to see it fully put together 🔥🔥
