Pros: Ground has never been more relevant in the History of the game Cons: Walls have never been more irrelevent in the history of the game. Also Wallbreakers are Borderline useless now when you have Nukes VS countless sticks of Dynamite. I think TH17 is going to add Void traps like Clash Royale, where it does more damage depending on the Housing space of thr Troop.

Explain your statement. What does it means e drag back then? They where never even nerfed once to be broken

Very flavourful idea id to make the root riders take double damage from infernos for obvious reasons

Had a few ideas for how they could be tackled. A simple means would be to nerf housing space as their main use is easily their utility in destroying walls and being solid tanks at the same time. Somewhere around 30-40 is pretty hefty nerf but if you buff their stats slightly to compensate then they'd be less of an abundant troop tearing holes in walls across an entire side which is the whole reason they're so overtuned. It's too easy to just have your army walk into the base. A different solution could be to rework how the troop itself functions. Granted this is a bit of a wild idea but consider super hog riders having essentially 2 healthpools. What if all root riders shared one healthbar? One for the root, one for the riders (keep in mind the riders would have independent HP and would all just fly off the root simultaneously once the root dies). The HP of the root could be displayed in deployment. Any riders deployed after the root dies then becomes a rider who could have some other nature based smaller attack. This would make it so you'd have to better cover your riders and consider how many are being spammed. The funnel just requires more skill to properly execute. It's a bit of a long shot but just shooting out ideas. The point though is definitely that root riders are way too good at the job they're supposed to fulfill and end up taking 4 different roles all at once. Damage, funneling, tanking, and pacing. The way they get nerfed is by reducing their value in one or more of these departments. So uh... good luck to SC I guess.

Just a thought, what if they did what they did to hog riders. They released bomb tower to kill hog riders and it helped calm down mass hogs so what if they released a defense that destroys mass root riders and would require more army variations like a hybrid attack to 3 star with root riders. And besides a new defense is always exciting.

The best would be adding a new level for the spring trap so that it can launch root riders out. (20 housing space)

Another level on spring traps could take them from 18 to 20 capacity. Might be nice.

I think some things that could balance root riders would be decreasing the effectiveness of wall breaks for each root rider within a certain proximity after a certain amount (3 or 4)? Alternatively, they could make it so that merged defenses deal extra damage to root riders, and then make it so that the rest of the archer towers and cannons are able to be merged (including adding an additional cannon). Lastly, they could make it so that each wall break deals a slight amount of damage to the root rider.

I used to be an e-titan attacker… now I mix in some root riders and I’m invincible

Make a video on Valkyrie tooo, they are also rocking in the top

The housing soace should be untouched. They just gotta add a level to spring traps

Make RR go over walls like hogs or under walls like miners and ppl will stop spammin em. Them opening up walls for heros with op equipment is crazy.

The problem with root riders is that they have no defensive counterplay whatsoever. Other strong attacks like super archer blimp, hybrid, or lalo are much more vulnerable to traps, spell towers, and well placed splash defenses, so you can actually build against them.

This is essentially a cheaper version of golem that can break through wall and target defense pretty much to bad it cant split

I miss the times, when you were playing arkpoc in the old ark

they should make it so that they need around 5-6 seconds to break walls that would damage them enough so that more people use different attacks but still make them a good troop

lower town hall levels basically got the ability to receive a wall wrecker.

root rider at th6 is like being able to have a pekka at th6 since all low level defence get 2 shoted

Decrease their health and change it so they function more like super hogs, the root itself can die, losing the wall busting abilities and overall making a more unique troop other then just tanky hogs

They should buff them a bit and make em take 40 housing space

Root riders is what I call supercell fans circa 2024

i work with someone else at th16, they pretty much only e-dragon spam and i told them to use root riders because of how OP they are. anyway he loaded up an army of 15 root riders and plopped them all in the corner then blamed me for getting a 1 star in CWL. that is all thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Keep up the good work

just add 1 level to spring trap so it can yeet 20 troop capacity..

Should be 30 housing space, but old stats

I can't wait to get to TH 15. Just got to TH 14 only 26 days ago.

Supercell knows they made th16 to easy, but I feel like a big problem is that walls have so much hp, any attack that doesn't skip them is basically unavailable

We need a petition to rename the Root Rider to Tentacle Rider

I personally don't like it when troops get nerfed or buffed in any ways. It only discourages me from using any troops and only makes me only want to attack with the old reliable e drag attack over and over again last 3-4 years

Bro sounds like the bloxburg newsreporter

They simply made root rider with too many features as you mentioned in the video: tanky HP, targeting defenses and wall breaking. Supercell need to target one of its feature to make it balance. Let's say make the RR hit all buildings (not only defs), people will be forced to spend more effort to funnel them and the heroes push will become slower (because RR not running in front to target deeper defs), hence the whole army will take more damage in the process.

still waiting for barbarian + wizard to be meta

Just the same when lalo ruled the game since like forever.

Not sure why supercell thinks a golem hog rider that is only 20 space was a hood idea

They better not nerf RR again. I finally have the perfect strategy to three stars

If u pay attention. The root rider does actually two shot walls. If u haste/rage a single root rider it will pass thru the wall and not break it

New level of spring traps will make root rider spam obsolete.

Love root riders love weed spell

They must make them a either a tank or an attacker but they made them both therefore there burf is useless until they make them either of both

Make rr 25 housing and nerf hp a bit and instead of insta breaking walls it would take like 3 seconds.

I get that they want to add easy troops for casual players who don’t like to plan much for a battle, but I still think getting three stars should take at least a bit of skill and strategy. Noobs now can achieve the same results pros used to get but without effort, which likely isn’t healthy for the game :(

3x damage from inferno tower/giga inferno to RR can solve it since the heat (from inferno) can set the wood (root) on fire. That also includes wizard tower since the wizard casts fire New lv of spring trap is also the solution, from 18 to 20 housing space

Bro had a 6 minute Video and played it at 0.6x Playback Speed to get a 10min Video

The best way to nerf root riders is to nerf the WALL. It makes no sense that a single piece of WALL has more hp than the TOWN HALL. Imagine irl a piece of fence being harder to demolish than a government building. The root of the issue is not root riders break walls fast, it is the walls themselves.

The worst troop to come from the game and thats spoken from someone that uses them every single war for 6 stars. Its that broken to the point its not worth it at all practising armies that take weeks to learn and get good at. Root riders need to be 30 housing space or even 40 housing space not 20. To not use them and not get a guaranteed 3 star is such a massively detrimental to the clan.

I mean breaking walls is what makes it good. So getting rid of that would make it one of the worst troops 🤷

Doesn't feel like coc

I couldn't help but laugh when you talked about adding diversity to the game. Before the root riders were added, The only thing you would see was either super archer blimp, Drag spam, queen charge, or all three In the same attack. There isn't much diversity in terms of army strategy in the higher town halls is one might think. The Occasional yeti or bowler smash attack wasn't seen very often outside of clanwar, And the success of pulling it off wasn't all that high thanks to the spell towers. Adding in the root riders helped bring some fun back into the higher THs after 15 was such a turnoff. Sure, walls Essentially became Useless for the most part, And the riders were a bit overpowered at first, But they are. More or less balanced at this point. It's when supercell decides to add stuff that can literally destroy an entire Compartment very easily from a single hero is when things start to get broken. Even the new Football that was added for the king is Honestly, overpowered, once you get up to a decent level. However, I'd be lying if I said I would rather watch a dragon spam attack for the millionth time over seeing a calculated root rider attack. It's painful how much supercell keeps forcing dragons to be meta; they are always the first troops to receive a new level when a new TH comes along.
