i quit clash royale ages ago because i didn't know how to beat ricardo, but that has now changed. i am ready for my return, and it is time for ricardo's reign of terror to end.
Good concept, but could be better. Personally I'd use minions over bats, since Ricardo uses zap and the minions can not only tank one hit, but are a much better counter for the Balloon, mini pekka, and inferno dragon. His only way to counter the minions would be to pre-place an ice golem for the death damage and then zap, but that can be easily avoided by smart minion placement. Since you're running cannoneer, an amazing balloon and miner counter, you don't need that many air troops. I'd simply use a building (like the Tesla you recommend) to counter the balloon, and a tornado, since it: - gives you a free king activation against the miner and mini pekka to further improve your passive damage output against the miner and balloon - is a great way to disconnect the balloon and inferno dragon from the tower - gives you a counter to the bats if Ricardo tries to build a big push The bats in particular might be troublesome since it deals so much damage to the cannoneer, forcing out a more expensive response, so i recommend using the electro spirit, which kills bats, stuns infernos, and stales the balloon all at the same time. Using two buildings would be great since Ricardo has no counters and Balloon really, REALLY struggles against double buildings, so I'd pick the tombstone, amazing against the mini pekka, miner, inferno dragon, and the deck has no way to kill it. Going by the same logic, two air troops Ricardo can't kill will make it impossible for him to break through, and my choice would be the flying machine. Same reasons you'd pick minions, but longer range. For offense, Ricardo's defense really lacks AOE troops, since the mini pekka and inferno dragon are single-targeting. The royal hogs would be perfect, since his only way to counter it would be mini pekka + barb barrel which, as stated before, can be countered by minions. So 1 Royal Hogs 2 Minions 3 Tornado 4 A building of your choice (preferably the tesla) 5 Electro spirit (you could also use ice) 6 Tombstone 7 Flying machine the eighth card would just be any card of your choice, maybe a strong spell just in case you need extra damage, but if Ricardo can break though the deck I just plotted then he is God reincarnated. I find it infinitely funny publicly making counters for a random deck your friend uses, I'll do it someday i love this. great video. good luck Ricardo.
@@ctvaughan6623 it was a project where we had to make a “how to” presentation and most people did slideshows Goated teacher, this half of the semester is probably the best bit of the year
@@umFerno oh nice. Our teacher has always had us make book talk videos and I’ve always tried to keep mine entertaining, and not just taking to the camera
you can swap skarmy for skeleguards, as they are resistent to both zap and barbarrel, normal skeletons are best if placed correctly since using zap on them will be a -5 trade, and if placed correctly (and leveled equally), will completely shut down mpekka. i reccomend snowball, fireball/zap, skel/skeleguards, tesla, archers, mpekka, and two wincons of your choice (hog is best for cheapest, tanks will not work bc of inferno dragon)
@@toxin8717 how do you not know minerloon 2.9 cycle? This deck is my secret weapon. It consists of miner, balloon, snowball, barbarian barrel, ice golem, skeletons, musketeer and bomb tower.
I watched this video and just finished practicing every possible interaction against this deck for 10 hours, if I ever get matched against ricardo he's finished
this is great, but what about your win condition? ricardo will probably be able to get damage by using miner + zap, so you need to not fall back with a strong win condition
Great comment and I didn’t really have a win cond. the whole strategy was to piss him off and three crown him which worked great (that wasn’t in the video because that duel was a week prior)
