I run 2.6 hog cycle and if they have a wizard or evo fire cracker behind it there is nothing I can do to stop it
brother bear just use skeletons and spirit to pull to king, or kite with ice golem and kill his support with knight or musk
thats exactly what I do but these mfs have evolved they be running tornado to pull everything to their mk
my cards are just too shit, I took a long ass break and im too underleveled... 2.6 hog cycle deck is the only one that has level 15 cards
i mean i'm consistently ultimate champ with lvl 13 and 14s in my main xbow deck
are you trying to beat with ground swarms or something lol? just use mini pekka, lumberjack, something like that + air (ideally a drag of some sort) if you have
nah my main counter is kite with ice golem + canon or musketeer and that normally does the job but if they have a fire cracker they just snipe the canon and have something else behind the mk so im just fucked
megaknight is misunderstood, its a great defensive card but midladder has distorted the way its viewed
Megaknight is a great card, and ill admit i use at 10k trophies,
But i dont think megaknight is the main problem i think its what its paired with that makes it annoying such as firecraker,hog rider,witch that are constantly spammed in midladder, and people mostly just target the highest elixer card which yes doesnt take skill BUT NEITHER DOES HOG RIDER OR FIRECRACKER. AND PEOPLE DONT SEEM TO FLAME THOSE CARDS.
They say firecracker is countered by arrows, then use a inferno to counter a mk and get a +2 trrade, even if they zap you can kite it with a mini pekka or valk for an even larger trade
thing about the hog is that you kinda need to have a read of your opponents counters and cycles especially if they have a building card so for me thats what makes it a bit more higher skill.
its a four elixer card, high movement speed, stupidly high DPS, win con and moderatly tanky, it can easily be countered by Tornado or Cannon for a +1 trade, but the thing is, most people at midladder dont care about reading card cycles or anything ,they just use High DPS cards and put them in their deck, thats why its so common to see decks with no spells or decks with just log which isnt enough.
And you could say the exact same for MegaKnight, you could know when the enemy has a counter for the MK in their hand and support the MK with a reset or a support card like musky or wizard or magic archer,
mk doesnt annoy me anymore, If i can play 12k with lvl 13 classic bait; 99% mk players can be defeated by even slightly good player; the only issue is the strange combos and when they are super overleveled
Ive been countering it better now that my cards are higher level but before the level 15 evo mk would just straight up shit on me
ice spirit + cannon (good placement) maybe split gang in the back; at the worst this is exactly 7 elixir with 2-3 goblins intact, sometimes just knight + tesla cooks a lvl 15 mk (against my 12 and 13 cards); not that hard just remember controlling the pace of the game and apply pressure is imp
What deck do you play btw?
hmmm thats fair, I always try to keep pressure so that they cant get a good push behing that mk. I play 2.6 hog cycle with evo ice spirit and canon
ok hog cycle is very reliant on perfect defense, hog is as you know just outcycling the tower (putting at the bridge isnt the skilled part, the defense is); try to play some bait variants or watch videos to learn good defense; kiting with e golem, cycling musk in the back if you have it and using your cycle cards well, (like dont put cards so far from mk that it jumps)
yeah ive noticed I dont really have the tile placement down yet which you need to know very well against a mk. I sometimes mess up and put the musketeer too close to the canon and he gets so much value with the jump
dont it will hold you back, i was stuck at 5k for 3years while spamming mk; I started playing classic bait and climbed to 9k (now 12k) in 9months with js 15-20m everyday; dont let mk hold you back; also no where in the trophy road it gets better, still mk is spammed
I was able to go up 5k trophies when I started playing again a couple of weeks ago but once I got close to the seasonal arenas ive been having trouble because the mk users are much better here
mk users arent better, they js read your building cycle and spam at bridge bro
thats another deck I have trouble against sometimes but I feel like the games are more strategic which makes it fun for me
