Fantastic gameplay! You are very articulate and have a great voice too, so would definitely encourage you to make TH-cam videos. I would subscribe. Who knows, IF CR can make a comeback your channel would likely do very well! Best of luck.
Probably one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen from your channel Ash. I am not a X-Bow player myself but i found SK to be very well spoken and educational. Hope to see more of SK in future videos such as when discussing balance changes.
Someone in Clash using actual statistics to back up their arguments like i used to do in ashs youtube comments?! sign me up for more of this guy. Arbitrary number increase and decreases have been the bane of this games balance for the last 2 years. Numbers don't matter, how INTERACTIONS actually change because of those numbers.. is whats important. Damn.
Well said. Unfortunately the dev team doesn’t take that into account. Nor do they takes pros’ opinions into account either. These are the same people that thought clan wars 2 was a good update.
i once told them that valkyrie should one shot princess to deal with bait better and they did it. big up supercell support. i also suggested allowing mirror have no +1 elixir price to cards your mirror but the mirrored card will give 1 elixir to your opponent when it dies. i think it was a well received suggestion
As someone who absolutely hates Xbow, with a passion fiery enough to rival the sun, I agree with him, xbow support cards are the op ones, not xbow Nerf knight
@@zakka7355 yes but the value you can get out of the knight for being 1 elixir less is why everyone uses it over the valk, the knight plus the towers help can stop a lot of things for just 3 elixir
I rarely comment, but SK seems like such a good guy! I normally cringe when there's an x-bow involved, but not with this guy. He did an excellent job explaining his rationale while playing, which helped me to get behind what he was doing and why. Ash, your back and forth with him was on point! I liked how calm you were, and the way you supported him throughout to help him feel comfortable. Awesome video!!! 😃
Yo he really is an awesome guest. Very polite, explains really well his thought process and I gotta say, he also has a really valid opinion on xbow. Finally not someone that just claims a card is dead (in this case xbow), but actually analizes pros and cons. Nice vid as always ash, keep up the good work
I use 3.0 X-bow so i don't think the knight will be a great substitute for my deck. In fact, it would make my cycle slower and a lot of interactions would change.
"You see, EQ user, you're not dealing with the average Xbow player anymore... He, sk_555, has risen beyond and has become a legend, the legend that you fear. He's become an Xbow god!"
Damn man I appreciate you and your content so much for keepin’ on going in spite of the entire lack of updates from the dev team. Could you please apply for Drew’s job? I truly feel like you could raise this game from the ashes. Pun intended. Drew just goes to clash of clans. Please. Oooo please. BTW I think you would do a great job as an unbiased journalist. There is a major void in that market right now. You make the content and it’s quality, here’s one subscription for you.
Even as a 2.6 player who doesn't enjoy facing xbow, I 100% agree with sk about the knight nerf. Also reverting / reworking the xbow for less damage but more hp. Awesome video Ash! Also I just got to my personal best in master 3, and hopefully next season I can get to champion! 🙃
I used to be an X-Bow player, until eq. was everywhere. And this rework they did on X-Bow was a nerf in my opinion. I agree with him, give the hp back. X-Bow is now too weak to spell damage.
Great guest today, I have to say. He is very good at explaining particular strategy and thought process during the gameplay... And that gameplay itself is exceptional as well. Good job.
great video, I actually liked a lot of recent videos here in CWA and this week in CRL as well. It is funny that CR dip in player base is coinciding with top CR levels of playing, a lot of mature skill in the game right now like never before. I think CR is transforming from a popular game to a niche game with very high quality players.
I never comment on videos but that was a really good one. It was really interesting watching the micro transactions with xbow decks. SK was really good
Yeaa I feel that, eq was too op for building, especially against elixir collector. And i think for the next season, clash royale have to nerf eq damage to building and knight, also hunter
I must say ladder is very weird for me right now, i just hit 6000 trophies and i swear 80% of my matches are either golem, x bow, or log bait, its very annoying and I'm guessing that the people at 6000 are either at the point where everyone knows the matchup or the decks that they are facing just counter each other (seeing that x bow loses to golem, bait with inferno tower easily beats golem, and well ice bow (the most common type at 6000 trophies) with nado easily beats bait) or they are just carried to 6000 by their deck
As xbow being my favorite card and in my fav deck, i stopped playing it after the nerf, deck and game. Honestly watching SK made me want to play and grind again 🤣 great gameplay, xbow gameplay is always the best. Imo takes the most skill of any archetype
Great video! Thanks Ash. Long time viewer and huge fan! Know you love different decks so I'm officially Copyrighting this deck I created before it goes meta.. mix of bait and golem. Love you to try it out. Cards: golem, baby D, cannon cart, tornado, goblin cage, skeleton barrel, dart goblin, skarmy.
Awesome video. One thing tho I just felt a sort of awkward listening to them try talk to each other in the first parts of the video Idk it felt very awkward at times 😅
That’s such a narrow mind. Spawners exist. There’s a lot more utility than just x bow. I can count on one hand how many x bow matches I’ve had this season
@@Venomx-nb1jr spawners? Oh please, spawners are dead cause earthquake is so fkn broken . Like I said, earthquake is for players who cant beat xbow 🗣🗣🗣
Look hog EQ should get two tower hits. It’s 7 elixir being used against a building. It’s by definition a hard counter. Hell I rage constantly when I use to run hog Eq pekka and I’d zap an inferno tower and hog eq and still not reach tower. I completely changed my deck around and started running lightning because buildings were so stupid op. Currently I’m missing 6k due to lvl 12 ram rider. I’ve hit 5860 this season.
@@Kind-Honeydew193 golem is good in the meta, regardless it ain't hard getting to 7k in this seasons where they take less trophies at the start of the saeson
Xbow weak against EQ otherwise it's fine with most other deck but I think icebow is in much better spot as rocket cycle is a preety broken alternative win con in a deck. It was great too see sk on the channel and like man those plays against 2.6 were on point man.

20:18 honestly gosh the knight needs a HP nerf because his HP pool is like a golem and this gives him too much value on defense.

Btw who is sk😅

Yea, he made a lot of great points! That being one of them!

Short answer, yes, it almost kills every single building in the game in almost one hit
As it should
@@viktorx5029 exactly its literally an earthquake
@@viktorx5029 it’s a 3 elixir card if it kills xbow that’s broken for a free guaranteed +3
absolutely! couldnt agree less
@@enviro5002009 lol was that a typo or are you just really sassy
Another great video with a very articulate guest! Bravo to you both!
EQ? At its current state, should be a 4 elixir card possibly
Glad you enjoyed it man! :)
Hey Ash your editor is doing a really good job, he seems to have found the perfect balance of effects. Really good stuff!
Love to hear it
Lol for some reason that zoom out from hyperbolic definition to the functions got me
9:17 sick edit

Nice vid as always ash, keep up the good work
As a log bait player i do feel the knight is op, i wouldnt mind going with valk
Exactly, I actually like valk more than knight and if they nerf knight I will just substitute it for valk in my miner wb deck
@@zakka7355 good. That’s an extra elixir. Makes it easier to burn you out and take tower. Thanks

Always love to watch when u have xbow on TH-cam , thanks again ash!
Thanks for watching joe
I hate X-Bow, but this is one of my fav. CR videos. Great guest, Ash! Bring him back!
I never comment on videos but that was a really good one. It was really interesting watching the micro transactions with xbow decks. SK was really good
Interactions... transaction for paying
Glad you hear that James
Humbleness and gratitude are ALWAYS a winning combination in life kids...
This video was edited so well wow props to Mr Editor
EQ shouldn't be a spell cycle card. It should be a make-or-break card that deals with buildings.
Finally this was the video i was waiting for
👍🏼
Get high from xbow? I use dabs but whatever works Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
sk making it big
The 2.6 match was so sick!! Amazing content here
His narrative play by play ecplanation made me undertand the game way better and im at 6000 trophies. Would love this guy as a coach haha
Loved the vid w/ SK
SK is amazing first time I watched a whole x-bow video
I just got my 5 year badge the other day. Watching Sk play... I'm still such a noob. lol
Dude this guy is a pro! A real pro! Nice contest ash keep it up!
I freaking hate going against xbow but this was very interesting to watch to see how they play and hearing his thought process
Yeaa I feel that, eq was too op for building, especially against elixir collector. And i think for the next season, clash royale have to nerf eq damage to building and knight, also hunter
Let’s gooo esskay!
Love your videos gems :D
I like how the editor thought it was necessary to show us the definition of hyperbolic functions 😂
YOOO sk finally made it on the channel!!!!!!!!
This guy put on a clinic I loved this video
Eq for sure needs a nerf but xbow it's self is still pretty solid if anything I would say archers could be buffed to make xbow better.
There are too many cards in the game, a nerf or buff to 1 card, will buff or nerf others.
Facts
This guy is very skilled. I don’t play Xbow but will like to have him in the channel again
sick vid, happy wednesday almost the weekend 🙏🏼🍻
Happy Wednesday to you
20:50
So satisfying!!!!!!!
Beating xbow is quite a joy 🤩
hey ash, what headset do you use
I must say ladder is very weird for me right now, i just hit 6000 trophies and i swear 80% of my matches are either golem, x bow, or log bait, its very annoying and I'm guessing that the people at 6000 are either at the point where everyone knows the matchup or the decks that they are facing just counter each other (seeing that x bow loses to golem, bait with inferno tower easily beats golem, and well ice bow (the most common type at 6000 trophies) with nado easily beats bait) or they are just carried to 6000 by their deck
Clash has been very Rock Paper Scissors like that for years. So yes.
Hmm Ash has forgotten to star level up X-Bow😁
Prob cuz he hates it so much

Yeah I think the building buff was a bit too much. Definitely should be toned down a bit.
20:51 what we xbow players all love to see
classic clash royale balance, 0 to 100 instead of tiny increments

Great vid ash
“As I was saying”
I still love X bow ❤️❤️
Legendary is undoubtedly a great xbow coach 👌 awesome guest Ash!
He was great!

Dude would make a good streamer
14:40 why does the knight get affected by ice golem death damage but doesn't take damage?
I guess the damage was instant and the slowdown activates slower... but nice catch
Bro what happened to the real lemontree68
Na forget it xbow will never die not after the spell nerf not after the xbow nerf not after the eq nerf
But it will die to a tesla and knight nerf
Nerf Lightning,Knight ,and for sure hunter and loon
lol no. Lightning already got nerfed with the spell nerfs.
Xbow doesn't die to a rocket, the HP decrease was needed. Putting an xbow at the bridge with a knight and tesla shouldn't be a win condition...
just use earthquake instead
