Ah.. Clash Royale, this game really changed my life. I remember I used to be kinda rude to my classmates that in the free time at school after it usually ends you get to play 30m and we weren't allowed to play fighting games there on our devices, since I had past fights with one of my friend (which we were good couple days later) I told the teacher there that they are playing that kind of fighting game and said that they're not allowed, I never knew it was clash royale. I used to argue over that but overtime I tried out the game in June of 2016 and it was fun. I didn't like it much because I didn't try it out but I got to grind more and more to the game, they were on a higher level than I was at that time now years later I kept playing and playing the game now im actually better than them, the game has changed a lot of times over the years i realised and its been pretty much fun playing this game for years, never knew I would be so addicted later on but I was one of them that quit twice but came back, never gonna forget the past fun memories I had with the game, everyone played, no matter what, it was like we were so hyped to get legendaries, good days.
Literally my whole friends group were into clash royale. We all were in the same clan, did battles, crown chest inclusion was perfect to keep us associated. We try to get home as fast as we can and get on the grind 💪. IT WAS LIKE WE WERE HAVING THE PERFECT LIFE, WE LOOKED FORWARD TO EVERY DAY. SADLY, THAT DIDN'T LAST LONG .Most of our members either became inactive (Some of my friends also moved out or changed school and unfortunately now I have no contact with them) So,I moved to other clans and eventually left too. I recently came back to cash royale. The game is still fun as it was before. While at school, i was quite surprised to find that one of my friend still playing it. Nonetheless we jump in together, had some battles , 2v2 and all that good stuff. Always thankful, to Supercell for the Awesome and all that frustrating battles memories CR gave me during battles.
Damn we basically had the same life. My entire class back in 2016 was playing the game. We had a clan and it was so fun. Now its not the same any more.
Seems like every teen in mid 2010s played supercell games, these games are still the most quality mobile games imo, I left playing in 2018 now I want to return but I am not in the position to because of exams and busy schedule maybe once I get into college.
I still cant believe ive played this game for 5 and 7 years !!! (according to stats royale) Cant believe how clash royale evolved through the years, its ups and downs (clan wars 2) and more. Remember when my friends and i just chatted clash royale during break. It was truly a special game that i will forever remember
It’s so weird to go back through the trophy road and see how the arenas where you unlocked cards have moved. Like some early game cards are decently late game now. Also rip free daily wooden chests
@@pandidapanda same, I went back to my old account and I'm on peekas arena but I have old cards like mirror and bomber, which now unlocks soooo much later
What happened to this game? I stopped playing years ago, back when Legendary arena was moved to 4000 trophied and Clan Wars were just introduced. RG meta was dead but most still remain. Hog cycle was everywhere. Magical items and mastery didn't exist. Pass Royale didn't exist as well. Accumulating gold is so easy now it's a far cry to the old days. Reaching 3k doesn't feel like an accomplishment anymore. I was there when hog mountain was the original legendary arena and we would get Legend Trophies that will be converted to a Royal Ghost emote that no one else can obtain. Reaching 3k and beyond was literally godlike back in the day. Now it's more like the simplest milestone that anyone can enter without much effort. Seeing Havoc vids after school was like a refreshment back in the day along with OJ. It's surprising how time flies by.
Something only OGs remember: You could have a colored name way back in the day, but supercell removed it and gave the people with the color codes in their name a free name change
when time was simple,getting a legendary is a GIANT deal.6 years have passed,ive been playing since global release and ive spent 1/3rd of my life playing this game.and we get one emote.
I remember when there was no seasons in clash Royale and quest and when most stuff wasn't there i still don't know why they took out quest it was so good it's nice sometimes to think about the old days. I miss godson with coc videos
i still remember that fateful day when my cousin introduced me to this small mobile game called Clash Royale. never knew it would become this huge, beautiful community. i remember comparing with my sister for what epics we got when we got our first epics (mine was skarmy) i still remember the joy i got when i got to Legendary Arena, and when i was FINALLY better at something than all my boy classmates (they had just started playing by then, they were surprised a girl was playing that type of game, nonetheless better than them) And, sure, the game faded in and out of popularity, and i was dropped from Legendary Arena when they announced Rascal's Hideout and Serenity Peak, and even though i know i'll probably never battle in Legendary Arena or see that number of trophies again, i still get a rush of excitement when i see someone playing it, or someone sees i'm playing and asks me what arena i'm in. so, thank you Clash Royale, and may you get better for years to come. (still waiting on that mega knight nerf, that card is way too strong)
6 years wow am glad I grew up with this game as well as clash of clans 😁 and im also kind of happy that supercell fixed the major issues and made the game easier last year
I remember playing CR in march 2016 with my friend, when we didn't have internet at our home in Nepal. We used to hack wifi using different apps. Those were the good days.
I stopped playing clash in early 2019. This feels nostalgic looking back, I always thought I would never stop playing. It's been fun catching up with your videos since I used to watch the "things only noobs do in clash royale" fun days. 3 years later I'm having a nostalgia trip.
Ah. I remember in 2017 , playing on my neighbours trash wifi, with a small "lava356" Mobile, that was the good game at that time.... Time really does fly........ It's sad
I thought this already came out and I was rewatching it, ur videos are so rewatchable tho I just have like 15 of them on loop and still learn smthing new
Damn... This game makes me feel so old. I remember using some sort of hack or something to play Clash Royale during its soft-launch and man I feel so old
I played CR for 6 years, what a nostalgic game. Every year, I watch the history of Clash Royale to review how the game changes. Only OGs can remember anything in the past like me, I was like grade 3/4 back then.
It was summer 2017 i was grinding 2h for the clan chest i was in my prime at my live. Happy birth day clash royal thanks havoc and calsh royal for me having one of the best childhood ever.
I still remember my good cr friend got his first legendary miner from silver chest I was shocked as fuck On the other hand when I got legendary chest for the first time I used all my gems just to open it😅 Inferno d was my first legendary now it doesn't feel much at all book of books boom! 20 legendaries ASAP
As a COC and Boom Beach player I joined CR like 3 hrs before official release, but then got hardstuck on 800 trophies, so I just watched videos. I had periods when I quit for like half a year and then came back but goddamn, its long, I remember the Screams as I got MK after his launch as my 2nd legendary in hog mountain... Good ol' times
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop ith 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
I started playing in 2017 and then stopped playing in 2020 and now I am playing again. It is funny to see cards I still think are new being 4-5 years old now...
Stopped playing in 2017 after sacrifice 2 phones to get to the Arena 7, I wanna start playing again. Hopefully I don’t have to buy another phone this time 👀.
