The credit card is still the best card . Unfortunately
Evo bats is the crazies comeback for a card. It’s not that crazy it’s just a good evolution to run when you don’t know what else
33:05 i’m no pro player or anything but i think the main reason why tesla is meta now is because a lot of cycle players try to avoid using air counters/only one air counter(mostly lp which could counter swarms decently well), thus tesla is used to try to replace air counters in cycle decks compared to bomb tower

Evolved Royal Giant and Electro Wizard seem to have a kind of decent synergy from what I've gathered from my usage of them. The only real issues they face are buildings, air swarms, and heavy tank killers like the PEKKA. Smaller tank killers are shut down from the stun and knockback, swarms get obliterated, inferno cards get shut down, its overall just really fun. Sidenote, holy hell my Evo RG deck is MILES off from the standard. I didn't know people used cards like Phoenix in it.
I agree with zap/evolved zap, the exception will be in, not beat down decks, but in bridge spam. Evo zap will help get battle ram onto the tower. Battle ram is a D tier win condition at best, especially with all the buildings around now, but that evo zap, along with fireball should be good for clearing out buildings and getting the pencil to bypass troops to the tower.

Thank you so much for boosting the PEKKA up to C tier. Even though C tier isn’t that good, I think it’s a big improvement with the range damage buff. Boss let me know how you like my deck: PEKKA, Prince, Rage, Freeze, Little Prince, Skarmy, Evo Recruits, and Log. Here’s my way for f battling… PEKKA with Little Prince behind it. If they Skarmy or Bats, I rage it. And then if they use a building and/or firecracker, I freeze them. If they really anything else I can just use the little Prince ability and by that time, I have the tower.

Your decks horrendous and so spammy- first of all for a bridge spam deck 2 7 elixir cards is insane, let alone the prince. You also don’t have enough splash damage, prince is unnecessary so dark prince is a better choice in that deck. You only have 2 spells and neither of them deal consistent damage to the tower so if you go against rocket you’re just screwed, plus rage and freeze is the lowest skill combo I’ve ever seen. You might do well in mid but as soon as you get above 7k~ you’re done for

I'd argue canon cart is at least C tier, because its genuinely a good cart stat wise and its easy to get a lot of value from it and if it locks onto tower it can take over half, but it just doesnt synergize very well with many other cards which is why its not seen very often

Can’t remember a tier list where arrows haven’t been a tier 😂
As a golem player, it’s a giant pain to use. It’s difficult to find something useful to pair it with, it’s a huge investment, but with all of this it can still casually be shredded. Little prince, inferno towers, and other dps units and towers just do so much damage for so little commitment and the golem is so slow. It feels like you can’t deal with everything, no matter what cards you pick. There’s always something causing you a giant pain. I tried using edrag, but it could never do anything against inferno towers even when I used tornado spell cuz they’d just spam crap in the way to make sure it doesn’t arc. Lightning spell is a replacement for me, picking off key dps units and inferno units at the same time. Trying to make a golem deck feels so awkward because you have to choose between a good healthy defense (as you’re stalling until 2x elixer as golem), and units that can actually carry the thing to the tower. Usually this means choosing more expensive units in general, meaning you can cycle, making you exploitable to spam and cycle decks. Especially in low ranks, it can be painful to use because people will pull up with the most ridiculous decks that you happen to not be able to deal with considering how all in your deck has to be

Both of them have different strengths and are almost equally good. There isn't one correct answer that is true for everyone. It depends on several different factors. What do you enjoy more? What fits better in your main deck? Do you have them leveled? These are things that only you know. So your choice will be more accurate than anyone elses choice who doesn't have this context.
Good tier list, i think the ranking if evolutions is questinable tho imo

Boss, I'd love to see you do a "Deck Tier List" every meow n' then, especially when you there's a big shift in the meta like I believe there has been recently... Ian77 did one recently(the only other CR KZreadr I have as much respect for as yourself)and I'd be curious to see how your opinions both align, and differ... Just a thought/suggestion... I've been watching your vids for a few years now, and love your commitment and effort! Thanks for the helpful observations and tips!
crazy how the dev team took the meme "larry god" to another level with evo wallbreakers, skeletons, and bomber as well as bomb tower and graveyard being in S tier.
The broken evos of cheap mid cards made the meta gravitate around cycle decks so a lot of good or decent cards that don't have evos become less reliable just because of their medium or high elixir cost like the Cannon Cart, Electro Giant and Golem. The Evolutions Update really killed the game
I live for these tierlists
Good video boss
Boss never fails to tickle our toes with fresh content 😊
my thoughts what should be changed in your tier list: - fisherman A tier, he's been dominating ladder in any kind of royal giant, recruits, goblin giant decks - if gy is S tier, why isn't goblin drill too? it's so broken, arguably the best win con rn - goblins maybe A tier? they're outshined by evo skeletons which are broken - lava hound A or B tier at least, no discussion here, even if it's just one deck (lavaloon) it's a top meta deck after all - I have never seen regular mortar without an evo on top ladder, C tier or B at least - mother witch is BROOOKEN *in certain situations*, that's why top players have started to use her in miner poison decks instead of little prince to counter evo bats etc, she's A for sure - if it was up to me, I'd rank regular royal giant higher than the evo one, he's often played with the other evolutions cause they're just better - tornado is broken indeed, but does it need a change, rather than the other cards that pair well with it? it's concept is so unique I'd not nerf it - there's no way evo archers, mortar and barbarians are at the same level as wb, bomber and skeletons... you can't compare evos to the other cards since every deck includes two of them, so I'd rank them separately, that's why evo royal giant, tesla, ice spirit and zap should be much lower btw I love how you evaluated golem's spot in the meta, it's so trash, that they could reverse all the death damage nerfs they released back in the day

i think Guards can be bottom of A tier. I use them since 2019 (i think), when they were easily seen as the worst card. And even then they weren't bad at all. They can counter a Mega Knight, if placed correctly of course. They can counter so many cards, acually almost every ground troop, again, if placed correctly, and it's not even that hard to put them just at the top of a troop... They a lot of times even manage to go to the tower and get some cheap damage. Plus, they now only die to poison (if i'm not mistaken), and it is an elixir more expensive. Lumberjack is C at least.
@Starlight_583

The issue is that it's hard to justify using them. Evo skeletons are arguably the best evo right now and goblins are also a better choice in most cases. For sniping certain decks they're good but they overall make more matchups worse than the alternatives. The issue is not them being bad, it's that other options are better.
The concept of evolutions were good on paper wish they were just abilities no buffs
Idea I had to make spawners better: make them take reduced damage from spells like the crown towers
remember those times when zap was must-have in 90% of decks and e-wiz was really unique card
Employee's tier list never disappoints. Needs a raise.
bomb tower DEFINATELY needs like a 5-7% health nerf. if feels more like a ranged valk rather than a building
I always run pekka because I rarely see a deck that doesn't have mega knight
Personally dart goblin is A tier, even tho they die to arrows(and maybe zap) their range and fire rate is insane, even with the low hp or they have been hurt, they can still get significant damage to the base

I propose a rework for the graveyard. What if we make the duration shorter but the spawn rate is faster so it spawns the same amount as it does rn but much faster.

Perhaps if they made it so the time between the skeleton spawning from a graveyard and starting to move is increased so the oponent has more reaction time and it whould also make troops such as the mother witch or the goblins alot better at defending it. This nerf whould be similar to the regular goblins spawn timer being increased without affecting other cards that contain the goblins and in this case only the graveyard skeletons are affected

Cannon Cart, if the list was based on power alone, would definitely be S tier or high A tier, B at the lowest. However, the CC isn't super versatile, and the decks he's useful in aren't the greatest, unfortunately. I think the rework they came up with a while ago (buffing its cart form and nerfing it's building form, as well as a third buff I think?) would have been very useful for the card, but a man can dream...

By itself it's not a bad card. But no current deck right now would play this over things like little prince, evolved archers or queen for example. That makes it actively bad because theres better things that you can play. Cannon Cart isn't bad by itself, other alternatives are just really good.

What if you ranked the evolutions separately. For instance, we all know that most of them are S tier. If they were ranked on a separate tier list against each other, we could then see which ones are better than others and by how much they are better. Just a suggestion. ☺
Make sure to randomize the order of the cards and also talk about the two tower cards.
Elixir golem finished top 10 last season, so I feel it deserves to be at least B Phoenix is gabrage, nobody uses the bird except royal giant, throw it in D tier. Phoenix has not been used in goblin giant & graveyard in months, idk what kind of people you are facing. Just my 2 cents
