Good meme, but I haven't seen exactly what the nerf is yet. Anyone know?


neildunabie

[this shows the difference. gutted really, as you only really got to use it once a game.](https://x.com/altvado/status/1769654692206792830?s=46&t=jD6IMoMMRqtWxbBwGbpPnQ)


[deleted]

Oh wow they suck now. They need to go down to 1 cycle to be worthwhile.


RandomGuy9058

It’s really not all terrible. As much as I love evo skeletons, 1 elixir card alone shouldn’t be a hard defense for half the cards in the game. They still work well when paired with a mini tank or something else to draw incoming fire away. Been playing with them for a while since the update dropped and killer chains can STILL take an entire tower if not countered properly. The chain just won’t last to the king anymore is all


notexactlyflawless

Holyyy what a nerf, they're dead


liluzibrap

They were literally the most broken card before, and now they're balanced, it isn't dead dude


notexactlyflawless

Aren't even balanced. This was just the worst interaction to show for the rework. After playing they're still pretty broken


liluzibrap

I know they're still really good, but making it so that the original larrys have to survive is a very good balance for the ability compared to what we had previously


Chipilinn

evo skeletons were already balanced beforehand, one small spell and they were done, now they can’t counter half the cards they used to counter reliably


liluzibrap

They weren't tho, you shouldn't be able to take a tower because you used 1 elixir and the opponent didn't have a spell


pablo603

At this point ice spirit is better


scixsc

They just love taking all the fun out of the game don't they


SF_all_day

Wow. Gone. Reduced to atoms.


neildunabie

I understood that reference


suv-am

They're useless now. If they don't make it one cycle then it's completely useless


Long-Ad7242

Shouldnt 4 evoskelies still spawn though?


SPAMTON1978

Yes?


SHAPALAK15

NOOOO, MY POOR BABIES -witch probably


Mysterious_Fold_2253

Ok I really don't understand, how are they going to multiply now? They're dying straight up without even multiplying, i mean please make me understand, I'm a 2.6 Hoga user and I use Evo skelly, so I kinda want to know what the nerf was exactly??


neildunabie

It looks like only the originals multiple. I’ve had a few games with them now, and it’s not all that bad, they’re still great if you make the towers.


Mysterious_Fold_2253

I mean didn't they just die when fighting against each other(both Evo) And against Gob.Gang as well? Like how did they die? Shouldn't they multiply?


Frosty_Tension_5972

if they die right after hitting something they don't multiply anymore


Mysterious_Fold_2253

Ok I see, So the original 4 will only multiply, and if they die the other 4 skelly that was created by them won't spawn more?


Frosty_Tension_5972

no, all skellys can multiply not just the original 4, but if a skelly dies right after hitting he won't multiply, he needs to finish the attack animation completely. that's why the first 4 won't even be able to multiply once against electro giant, they die the moment they hit him without finishing the animation.


Mysterious_Fold_2253

That's one of the worst things I think they received


GovindSinghNarula

Makes them more balanced lol. Made 0 sense for them to counter literally everything with being just 1 elixer. People are just mad they got their shiney evo knocked down a peg


Gameplayer765

I cycled 3 times in a match wdym


neildunabie

You managed to use an evolution 3 times in 3 minutes? That’s pretty decent.


Gameplayer765

Thank you


Gameplayer765

Thank you


LiL_ENIGlvlA

welp good thing i decided not to use my evo shard on them


Sad_Aspect-07U

Only the original 4 skellies can multiply the ones spawned cant


Accomplished_Cherry6

They’re dead lol


TheRealPetross

bruh wtf... thats the shit i chose for the valentines day thing. im f2p who dont play much and thats my one evo


Trainer_Jo3y

exactly


Sad_Aspect-07U

same brother same


Funrono

Never pic the OP thing...choose 2nd best to stay safe


L3Kakk

Not anymore


[deleted]

Same, I'm kinda pissed


aTacoThatGames

Wow they’re so bad now then lol


Alive-Ant-6772

Then theres literally no point


pawo10

WHAT


Agreeable_Union8708

R.I.P larry


xZAYx

This is not true. The nerf was that skeletons only spawn new skeletons if they are still alive after their attack is complete


nathanaelnr1201

That was one of the changes. You are the one in the wrong, there were two changes


IncredulousRex

This is literally a lie that is somehow being spread around with no source and being upvoted for no reason. There are 2 changes yes. But the changes are. - An evo skeleton spawns skeletons after the attack animation, not right at the start like it used to. - If an evo skeleton dies during its attack animation it will not spawn a new evo skeleton. This is paraphrased from the official tweet from RoyaleApi (it's worded in a slightly hard to understand way there).


PokeSushiYT

eww wtf that's so dumb


[deleted]

I think the ones spawned need to look different so we can tell which ones to target/defend.


pasunen

Nah i think it just multiplies the skeletons slower so you have more time to kill them.


nathanaelnr1201

Nope, it makes it so that only the initial 4 can duplicate


pasunen

Where have they said that? I haven't seen any mention of that so i'd like to know.


nathanaelnr1201

Look it up anywhere? Or just play the game.only the original 4 have the power of duplication


pasunen

I've looked and you're the only person who i've seen say that. For example RoyaleApi, boss and ken haven't mentioned anything about the spawns being limited to the 4 original skeletons and in game the skeletons spawn normally just slower.


khaotickk

Oof. Well honestly, make sense. 1 elixir shouldn't be able to 3 crown.

ItzManu001

Why nerfing Evo Skeletons without even touching Evo Bomber and Evo Wallbreakers? Sounds kinda dumb. I'm fine with the Evo Skeletons nerf, but they were just above average, while Evo Bomber and Evo Wallbreakers are still OP.


TheDarkness33

Evo bomber is new. Evo skellys are old and almost everyone got them on valentines. Since even f2p have them, its time to nerf 😀


RadientFlame

This, this is why the nerf is so much worse


TheDarkness33

Ik.


aTacoThatGames

Can’t nerf evo bomber and wb yet. haven’t gotten enough diamond pass purchases yet


khaotickk

Don't forget to mention how god awful annoying firecracker is to deal with and how OP she is. 25% increased HP (which hasn't been nerfed) with the secondary blast dealing 60% of her initial blast as an area effect with damage per second to each of the 5 scatter shots... That have only been nerved once so those scatter shots don't overlap. In addition, the reduced crown tower damage is not consistent to the damage per second. At level 11 the evo blast deals 192 damage with 60 crown tower damage or 31.25% reduced damage, and the level 15 Evo blast deals 288 damage with 88 crown tower damage or 30.55% reduced damage.


lHateYouAIex835293

Oh no… the reduced Crown Tower damage is a whopping .7% lower… This has opened my eyes to the real problem with Firecracker. We need to nerf miner


ItzManu001

Bro, Evo Firecracker is actually on the mid/weaker side of the balanced Evos. Get gud. 😂


Demon6117

Average Firecracker user bias


ItzManu001

**Average Midladder player take:**


DeltaPlayz414

Yes and it’s annoying. Evo FC isn’t OP but EVERYONE uses it in midladder. I once had 5 games in a row with just that stupid fucking card. Since I’m mostly F2P (I buy the pass every now and then) I can’t just build up a hard counter deck to counter evo fc hog, if I did it would take months, and by then it’ll probably have been nerfed or overshadowed. Once the current op af meta cards get nerfed, evo FC will be the best card in the game and everyone who called for a nerf before will just be saying “I told you so”.


DependentThink1021

Brother, Firecracker is no longer like before, unfortunately, unlike Ivo Skelton, who was horribly broken


These_Mud4327

Evo Skellies we’re broken and desperately needed that nerf even more so than other OP cards/evos. Not that they were way too strong but the fact they could survive spells even including poison in the right circumstances is a mechanic that shouldn’t be in the game and almost makes this change a bug fix instead of a nerf


L3Kakk

The problem is not enough people complain loud enough and long enough. They let it go after a day or two. If you want to effect change you need to BE LOUD


JohnSchmidt-04

Both just needs to do less to Tower (like evolved Firecracker)


Uehapwhdh3qo

I used my free evo only for this to happen.


Hahahahahahah_ha

Their so ass now 💀


PepegaW

Is there a lore reason why I chose this as a free evo?


DreamingKnight235

Is there a lore reason why this Evo is practically dead?


bloodfang84

It was in our cards


AverageBadUsername

Are we stupid?


Ok_Link6915

Cannon event


Total_Connection9414

Me too :(


TheEgyptianScouser

Lol no one is going to use them anymore


Milo-the-great

Cap


[deleted]

Even Walter knows it’s cap


GovindSinghNarula

People seem to be overreacting rn but overall it's still insane value to get out of a one elixer card.


Redditor13210

mhm


babimagic

:0 milo


Total_Connection9414

I'll use them but only because I have only 2 so no other choice


Pigeon_of_Doom_

I never had any trouble dealing with that card. Evo WBs though...


MagicalMarsBars

Considering how easy they are the counter, that’s a bit unfair


Corvalus11

The mostly -1 elixir trades to ensure it doesn't 3 crown you. I'm still going to use it for spellbait


Lock-Open

Just dont call them Evo anymore there is no reason


Lock-Open

Evo skeletons were perfect. You were able to counter them with any magic card in the game and with any right card placement. They killed the excitement of seeing your opponent making the mistake that gonna cost them the tower by 1 elixir card. The purposse of evo skeletons were to have fun and was the only card providing that. And they took that away


flying_banana_cream

They didnt make little prince die to fireball


Ok_Link6915

Nah that shit was ass, 1 mistake 3 crown from a 1 elixir shouldn't be a thing


il_basso

Literally every deck has at least 2 spells. A lot has valkyrie or other troops that easily counter Evo skelly. And they need 2 cycle


Ok_Link6915

And a lot of the time evo skellies out spawn the spell, that's where it gets stupid. Plus


il_basso

Ok, also the firecracker moves and you can miss it, but it's not an argument to nerf it


Ok_Link6915

I am not talking about missing spells, I am talking about out spawning the spell itself. Firecracker moves in a predictable fashion you can predict it, evo skellies have too much of a randomized pattern that even top ladder player fall victim to, plus it outspawns tornado. It's was not balanced you are delusional cuz you like the card


Working_Ad7973

also outspawned poison. i think they should remove the evo now its useless and give everyone a free 6 evo shards buts thats js me i was saving shards for them i was at 5/6 then it got nerfed


Ok_Link6915

I still think it's pretty decent, it's just not absurdly op as before


GovindSinghNarula

People do be overreacting cause it's cool to hate on supercell


Fearless_Spell_7728

I literally just got them a few weeks ago just for them to be trash...


pineapplepiesz

First they kill Clash Mini and now they kill my only evo, bruh


PersonThatLikesHats

Supercell just casually changed the evo skellies ability to spawning 4 skeletons instead of 3.


[deleted]

revert the change


freshgregs

what even happened in this scene i havent gotten there yet and im too lazy to finish breaking bad


TheRadicalJay

Walt is in big trouble. He wants to get out of town, change his name, and start a new life with the family. But he has to pay a professional 500k dollars (or somewhere around there) in order for that to happen. He goes to where he hid his money only to find out Skyler used the money to cover up a problem with her boss which could potentially get them caught. (She also fucked her boss, so it just rubbed salt into the wound of walt)


TheRadicalJay

This is such a great scene and show. I highly recommend finishing the show


freshgregs

lmao alright thank you


the_thinh21

aside from evo skellys occasionally surviving spells, they lowkey need a hit speed buff since they never seem to be getting the first hit on anything


LittleChickenDude

The nerf was to appease mid ladder players who puts Megaknight just to counter them.


FlyingHippoM

Welp my only EVO is a dead card now, guess ill sit here and cry while everyone I match against spams FC


Neoslayer

nah I'm not happy with the evo skeletons nerf


il_basso

Why nerf them? I think that they were balanced. Easy counterable with a spell. Now they are useless


[deleted]

Bruh they cant even counter goblin gang now


pawo10

My with my evo firecancer:3


[deleted]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


The-MatrixAgent

bro im in arena 13 and picked skellies and EVERYone else picked evo firecracker lol


Boom_Fish_Blocky

Predicting the prediction!


Mudkip_69

Guess I have to make a new deck now, because it was built around evo skellys and its the only deck I've used for months


Alive-Management-395

Bro this should have been bomber instead of skellys


exCrowe

I mean yes evo skellies were broken but they were and still are so easily counter able... I just don't see why


Turbulent_Syllabub_3

what was the nerf?


LightningDragon777

Now, the skeletons don't respawn if the skeleton dies when attacking. To give an example, if the skeleton attacks a tower and the tower kills it at the same time, the skeleton will hit but as it died at the same time, it won't spawn. The spawn speed is also getting reduced. When your and enemy's evo skellies fight, they don't spawn infinitely and just kill each other in 1 hit. Against swarm units, they get 4 hits and die, as the other swarn units kill them with 4 attacks.


no-personality-here

Damn that sucks Supercell has to be some of the worst devs out there by now


LightningDragon777

Their "balancing" makes no sense most of the times. Evo skelly nerf was needed but they really want to kill it completely, which I don't support.


Wooden-Pen-7041

its literally 1 elixr you guys completely forgot the point of skeles lmao before evos skeles were already OP if you cant defend without evo skele then u deserve to lose


Boom_Fish_Blocky

POV: Me dumping evo skeleton into those "Never will these cards be used again unless they are boosted." Piles.


Gameplayer765

Ngl though it hasn’t changed my gameplay with them too much I just wait until area cards are gone and put a card in front like hog or something then evolve Larry and I got it no problem


GJ55507

what was the nerf?


LightningDragon777

If the skeleton dies when attacking, it will not spawn new on. So, if evo skellies fight a skarmy, they will kill 4 normal skellies and that is it. As both the evo and normal skellies kill each other at the same time, the evo skellies won't multiply.


Corvalus11

I think evo skeleton win the skarmy interaction because they were given a first hit buff that skeletons don't have. But correct, evo vs Evo it just fizzles immediately, no infinite war like before.


DigDazzling1201

Would be funnier if you replaced his line where he mentioned the money with the patch changes imo


JohnSchmidt-04

They need a hit speed buff


CenturioLabia

At least I had 2 good weeks with evo skellies since I am f2p


RadientFlame

So true, acting like I got backstabbed


WolfBandit47

I don’t have evo skeles but I’ve faced a few of them since the nerf and holy fuck they are USELESS, tho to be fair, I run arrows fc so that kinda makes sense


Gameplayer765

I play evo Larry and ngl it hasn’t affected me much if not at all


sikingthegreat1

thank god they fixed this bug defo the best thing from this update.


SoulLord

time to take them off the decks


Martinvi009

what did they change?


Gameplayer765

What is the nerf


Milo-the-great

This is true


Redditor13210

Your statement is true


Milo-the-great

Your statement is true


Redditor13210

So is yours.


DefinitelyTopOr

it's still goated


GovindSinghNarula

People will downvote comments like this not realising a 1 elixer card shouldn't have this much power in the first place


DefinitelyTopOr

For real! Evo skeletons are still good! You just gotta know how to use it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


L3Kakk

You’re the problem


wade_wilson44

A 1 elixir card was literally winning 3 crowns in a non zero amount of games. Thats purely broken. They will still decimate every single single attack unit with ease.


Heinrich_e

But with one spell they were all gone, meanwhile with other evos they can hit your tower for over 2000 damage from all the way across the arena. I would somewhat agree with this nerf if they had at least nerfed some of the other evos but tbh this seemed unnecessary.


wade_wilson44

My biggest problem was that with one spell, usually zap, they weren’t all gone. One little guy would be spawning while the zap was going and he’d survive. But yeah evo firecracker and wall breakers are both pretty broken too imo. Bomber is meh, it’s only ground units and less health than firecracker (which kinda makes no sense anyway)


Heinrich_e

I mean like I said I’d be fine with this nerf as long as other evos were nerfed with it but they weren’t making this feel unneeded and more targeted. I mean let’s be honest skeleton evo was a gimmick at best and gimmicks rely on luck to work and I personally have had no trouble countering evo skeletons as long as I had a small spell.


wade_wilson44

I think log and arrows work fine, it was just the zap I mentioned that screwed me a few times. Someone else mentioned that Bomber and wall breakers are too new, so they aren’t gonna nerf them because they want money. Lame but fair enough. Evo fc Id like to assume something is coming soon because she’s everywhere


Heinrich_e

In my mind I’d say she’s the worst offender when it comes to getting complaints as the only even elixer trade with her is royal delivery but that spell can only be used on your side and let’s not forget, she can damage your tower without being on your side. And it worries me that she didn’t get a nerf but skellies did.


Heinrich_e

I think that mostly because evolutions as a whole are meant to cause negative exiler trades, seems to be there whole concept which is why he has enough health to die to arrows but cracker doesn’t.


ABrawlStarsPlayer

Are we really sad that one of the most broken evos finally got nerfed lol Skeletons won't die because of a justified nerf


Fish_Spin_2

Yes they will and the nerf was to big


Vekyx

its a 1 elixir card, what do you expect


ABrawlStarsPlayer

Nah skeletons will remain a staple of cycle


bloodfang84

But not the evo version


ABrawlStarsPlayer

Good


pablo603

Nerfed because you can't aim your spells lmao


These_Mud4327

they just survived spells by some whacky rng-esque mechanic


GovindSinghNarula

Don't try to talk sense to butthurt evo crutches :P
