EPTi played the game on my friends phones who were in pekka playhouse and i was reminded how fun it actually is without the bullshit legendary cards. and now theres a new patch out and theres even yet a new bullshit legendary card. just awful. stupid cash grab. tournament mode is fine if they ban the legendary cards. i'm going to wait patiently to get a legendary. its been like 3+ months of no super magical chest ever or legendary ever, but it'll come. hope i get an ice wiz, even though i think sparky is complete bullshit, i think ice wiz is still the best card in the game for just 3 mana.

I'm level 5 been playing a couple weeks stuck around 1000 rating Current deck lvls 5 spear goblins 1 witch 3 goblin hut 2 mini pekka 5 barbarians 4 giant 3 musketeer 1 baby dragon I'm FTP and I had much the same experience as you. At level 5 I plateaued at around 1k. It wasn't until I upgraded a few of the cards I was using and hit level 6 that I managed to get past the hump. Fighting someone 2/3 levels higher than you was just not doable. I'm level 7 now (1600) and it's much better, I rarely lose games because someone has much stronger towers/cards than me. Just gotta push through the grind imo. Fastest way to level as FTP is joining a guild, donating/requesting cards on cooldown and staying on top of your chests. Don't buy cards from the shop, gold is the limit to your progression. | ||

lmao tournaments are so awesome for players like me i basically get HUGE numbers of cards for free ---- so heres my tips for levelling up firstly, you need to find a way to understand the basics of the game. elixir management and advantage vs threats (tempo) vs life total you basically need to find a way to get an elixir advantage to convert to tempo to convert to life total. some cards go straight there (fireball) but tend to be inefficient, and this game has VERY little RNG so the better player nearly always wins with equal cards. so you have to squeeze out every single little bit of value you can after that, do the basics of getting ot the highest arena you can (being legendary arena is like 30% faster progression than everyone else) - maxing your donates every day (preferable on crappy commons) and always requesting rares you don't have, and saving up gold for legendaries when you hit a8 (except for upgrading your cards which is priority) i suggest doing basic defensive valk/musket/elixir collector decks which have been a very very strong part of the meta, and doing normal counterpushes at low level you might want to combo this with a prince and or giant to help push but in the later levels you'll obviously be using legendaries --- in the very old days gems were worth it because gold was extremely hard to come by and the main limiting factor in your progression, so buying some ogld to get a few early epics was a biiiiig boost to new players however with the changes that happened a few months ago basically gems only have one single purpose -- speeding up chests in arena 9 and speeding up tournament chests. you basically shouldn't use them for anything else :D --- @ggtempler i would suggest getting rid of the goblin hut and using elixir collector instead. also i would replace your witch with zap and or spirits/fireball/ice spirits same goes for the baby dragon, the cheap spells and spirits are just too good right now | ||

I guess it depends on the current meta. I'm doing fine now obviously, but I do want to move up eventually to 3k. I wish there was an easier way of testing decks other than playing AI and friends lol... | ||

Not that it bothers me too much but still... legendaries are just better value. I wonder if most legendaries are bought, because I played since release on Android and haven't gotten a single one, not superactive though, but active enough to open 5 crown chests each week. The amount of people that use sparky is too damn high though. ---- Have been using this deck for ages now, also a good deck to use if you don't have legendaries. It needs practice though, but it destroys hog decks and other royal giant decks. The trick is to get a Elixir pump going and place the Goblin Hut so that the enemy Royal Giant and Hogs get drawn to it. Place the cannon or troops to deal with the threat. The Royal giant should most of the times not be used unless you are ahead in elixir and have a pump running. Also make sure you figure out what defensive cards they are using before double elixir time so you can adjust your push accordingly. Royal Giant Barbarians Spear Goblins Elixir pump Goblin Hut Cannon Fireball Zap (use arrows if you don't encounter Sparky every other game) Pretty sure you can get to 3000 with that deck. As a lvl 9 player with some cards on lvl 10. | ||

FYI one of the top 10 placers in OJ used a trifecta hog deck that had no legendaries so there's no doubt it's a top tier deck | ||

Just have a counter stiyle, use the Hog for counterattack. Never move first. (That's how I play) Goblins Spear Goblins Barbarians Hog Raider Mini P.E.K.K.A. Musketeer Fireball Zap Enjoy | ||

Hovering around 1400 now but it feels so hard to get higher as whenever I have a winstreak I start facing lvl9 commons etc On July 05 2016 21:46 SuperHofmann wrote: I'm using this budget deck since A4, currently A7 and still doing good.

What I never really understand with these type of non building decks, how do you play defensive when they drop a Giant at the back line? That means they'll have a 13-15 elixer push coming before you can start defending. | ||

Especially in A5 now that Lava hound is buffed you get a few air decks, which the trifecta struggles against. Being stuck in the lower arenas is really just a case of "play a couple more weeks and progress" Compared to the many months (years?) you might spend enjoying A9 and tournament mode, A1-6 is essentially the tutorial to the game where pretty much nobody knows how to play, is just playing random cards or following extremely pre-set builds with very little adaptation or reaction to whats going on It's hard to give advice for anything below A7 because essentially you just have to "get some cards together and play them properly" good positioning, understanding of what counters what, SOME kind of gameplan should be enough to get you through | ||

It's very hard to keep track of the "lower" meta, since we have absolutely no clue on what happens in those arena's. I've got friends of mine who keep talking about the Skeletonguy being an huge annoyance, while I was like ; "wha?? People play that unit there? ". How do you join the bigger/profi tournaments in CR? So far I've been wrecking every tournament I enter and I'm in need for some tougher competition. I've played 3 tournaments so far; 1x #1, 1x #2, 1x #10 (80 players, I went 18/1 or something, but no time left, including beating the #1 and #3). | ||

If I use goblins he needs to respond fast or they can kill the Giant before he hit me, so they always use Fire Mage or Witch. When the Giant is over the River I put Barbarians in front of it, and Pekka after it, with Fireball too if needed. | ||
