The Fire Spirit is such a forgettable card, and not very popular in modern day Clash Royale. And unfortunately for the little guy, that's how it's been for most of his life. But despite that, he's had some of the most interesting and impactful developments any card has ever had, and has made major impacts in previous metas.

A really big issue the triple fire spirits is that sometimes they would jump onto an enemy that was already going to die from one of their brothers. This came from an issue with the general AI of clash royal where troops will leave an enemy as dead if the finishing attack is already coming its way, but this doesn't count toward an enemy dying from a splash attack. It made the fire spirits far too inconsistent in getting the actual splash that you wanted from them because they would all kill themselves on the same few troops. Changing the card to one fire spirit helped solve this issue.

@RacsoLoski 26 дней назад

With that argument, the Ai issue could be fixed instead of making a complete rework on the card. Personally not against nor do I support the rework instead of the change to AI, But I think it could be noted that to most people, the reason fire spirits were unique, even when compared to other spirits, was that it had 3 spirits instes of just a single spirit like Heal Spirit or Ice Spirit. It's a tiny change, and even when the stats of the card were changed to make the stats the same as the old 3 spirits, it's still very different as it means that it "technically" is less tanky to single-shot enemies like Musketeers. Not to mention, with the recent newer cards like Electro Dragon and other AOE/Splash DMG cards, it's still a wonder on what would've happened if Fire Spirits still had 3 spirits instead of being changed to 1.

I really miss the old Fire Spirit trio. My main deck for years has been a Golem Night Witch Clone deck with Fire Spirits, Zap, and Log. With those cards plus Dart Golbin, I was able to deal massive damage against any push and cloning a full Fire Spirit Trio with (old) Night Witch and Golem just deatroyed full towers in seconds and that just doesn’t happen anymore. I never replaced Fire Spirit because it doesn’t have a replacement but the entire deck feels less powerful and not being able to beat things like E Golem or Barbarians easily really hurts, but again, there was never a replacement. Maybe one day they'll add a card that worked like old Fire Spirits

I also hate seeing competitive get the most attention it's killed so many cards.

Something I remember from the 2 elixir firespirits, I think this was a rounding error but at lvl 9 - 13 the firespirits would actually survive on 1 HP (going against equal level tower) and at lvl 8 and lower they would die in one shot. Idk how many people caught this but I found out while playing ladder at this time.

I used that deck for years and when they changed it to just one troop it felt like it completely ruined the flow of my deck

When I was abusing the fire spirit in my Golem 3-musk deck, I always used them differently from everyone else.

@sharkquark6252 26 дней назад

As a CR Veteran since nearly the release of the game, I remember them being in like every deck since their release up until 2019.

Honestly, I think they should make a return to add the firespirit’s fellow friends. Both the cannoneer and the dutchess (2 of the most used tower troops) fully counter firespirit making both the firespirit and the furnace COMPLETELY useless. Every firespirit spawned by the furnace get killed by the new tower troops and the normal firespirit is….. well, his intention to chip the tower down has completely been forgotten because of this now. I would like for the firespirit to have both his friends come back again, I like the firespirit and seeing it in this state now, it just makes the freaking heal spirit look better now.
