25 Facts Only Clash Royale Veterans Know

The way the fire spirits would just toss themselves into minion horde back in the day was beautiful

At one point barb barrel was actually even better than the log, its had a wild history

Don't forget that you could unlock witch, baby dragon, prince and skeleton army in the training camp back then.

As someone who played 2016-2018 I remember sooo many things in this video, and I'm also surprised at some things that I didn't know happened, like graveyard not having RNG spawn and log not damaging crown towers.

Some old facts that I rmb 1)goblin barrel used to cost 4 elixir and deals low damage to the tower upon hitting 2)zap and princess used to counter a goblin barrel completely 3)the log cannot push back giants when it was first introduced 4)freeze didn’t have damage, but upgrading it increase its duration 5)the hog mountain used to be the legendary arena and it is reached in 3000 trophies + you can get legend trophies for the amount of trophies u have over 3000

Funfact: Xbow shooting air troops would make it a worse win condition because it gives your opponent more troops to block the xbow with, yes I would have been a better defensive building, however it would almost never lock on if it could hit air.

the thumbnail is wrong the fire spirit used to have 3 but now has 1, not the other way around

Clash 2016 was sooo good. I miss it terribly. Legendaries felt like, legendaries. Epics felt epic. No pass royale. And an epic was always guaranteed early game.

Bro got the thumbnail wrong💀

ice spirit used to freeze for 2 seconds on release actually then got nerfed to 1.5 seconds and then to 1. zap also used to stun for a whole second

A few more: The PEKKA initially had a longer deploy time, just like the golem does now. It was removed. The goblin gang had 6 goblins-three melee, three spear-for 3 goddamn elixir. The log actually didn’t have knockback and is considered THE worst legendary. SC adding knockback instantly made it the best legendary spell ever. The electro wizard could be one-shotted by a same-level fireball at launch (like the ice wizard is now). Since even epic cards were so expensive in the earliest of CR, the PEKKA twin prince smash was seen as a deck of prestige and power. At launch, poison spell had a slowing effect, just like its COC counterpart, but is even better since it also affected buildings. This made poison-giant strats almost invincible. In the earliest of days, zap was a SINGLE-TARGET spell. The goblin barrel once costed 4 elixir, and dealt damage to its surroundings upon impact. This made it one of the worst spells in early CR. Speaking of which, goblins could once be killed with a same-level zap (the AOE spell which we know today, ofc). SC nerfed the damage of zap by 6% to create one of the most annoying metas of all time: knight-princess-gob barrel-rocket. From a player since 03/2016

I mained sparky for years, people would never expect it and you can get an absolute death ball push with it as long as they didn’t have rocket or lightning

Thumbnail is wrong

« Supercell decided to nerf the ice wizard for no reason » it was literally OP af when the game got released worldwide, but didn’t get nerf immediately because of how stupidly rare getting a legendary was, then when legendaries became slowly but surely more common, they nerfed it.

I hate how when anyone mentions how there used to be 3 fire spirits, they never mention that each fire spirit was way weaker, and that it was one of the least used and worst cards in the game. The rework saved the card and made it overpowered until it got nerfed to make it the normal card it is today

one thing you missed was that heal WAS super good at one point. it was used in 3m until it was nerfed into oblivion

Who else remembers these 1) Witch used to spawn 3 skeletons in a line in front of her instead of 4 around her 2) Witch used to not deal area damage after one wave of balance chances 3) Executioner used to deal 400 damage per 4 hits on enemies after one update

9:29 "Just look at that" Really wish I could, but there's a video in the way.

The thumbnail is wrong

Some other things I remember 1) Bowler used to knock back every troop, even Tanks. 2) Heal used to cost 4 elixir and it healed like crazy (it could heal 50% of Giants HP back). 3) Spear Goblins back in the day couldn't oneshot Skeleton, however they had much higher attack speed. 4) Witch didn't have AoE attacks back in the day

I remember when I first got the princess in the summer of 2016, I got so excited I literally yelled for hours and was happy for days, because I got her without spending money at all. Now? Legendaries are like commons.

😢I downloaded the game when it was released back 6 years ago. Ah, the nostalgia…

Your videos just keep getting better and better. Keep up the grind bro one day you'll get the fame you really deserve.

Let's just say the wooden chest was my legendary chest. That is where most my legendaries came from at the time

1:23 what is that bandit doing to mega knight 💀

Ahh, i remember when me and my friends were walking to home and one of my friends was playing clash royale and he opened the free chests and got sparky from one of them, he started shouting a lot and ran to his other friends to show what he got and from what he got it from :D Good old times

I still remember getting my first legendary from a wooden chest, it was *the log* too I used it in every deck. Ahh good times

Bro keep making video’s, they are amazing. You are gonna hit 100k subs in no time, if you keep uploading these fire videos🔥

7:40 referrence to a meme that was very popular back then, a skeleton playing a trumpet, making a Sound 'doot doot '

The thumbnail shows that the old version of fire spirits only had one stead of 3 which is the opposite of what it should be

This is actually a really cool video. Thanks!

Use to play in 2017 recently started 5 days and wow a lot has changed

Honestly the witch at its peak was more powerful than the night witch at its peak in my opinion

Pretty sure they made the fire spirit 1 elixir to make it more similar to the other ones. Also, they increased it's damage and splash size, so it's pretty much the same as before

Gradually I'm in love with this channel

The wooden chests hited me really hard, miss those

I loved the old fire spirits they were by far my favorite card. To all the bitter people in the comments, I did not say the fire spirit are any worse or better than the fire spirits. You simply cannot take a minion horde out with it anymore, it does more damage to towers and costs less elixer. The only improvement was in top ladder usage, and I simply said I liked the previous fire spirits and now nerds who need to hug their parents and touch some grass are having a "skill issue" debate about a single card, I mean tf is your life by that point lol, it's just a game and you clearly don't enjoy it😂

3:34 Bro stole my font 💀

I remember being absolutely tired after a day of school coming back home opening my free chests and getting my first legendary out of it, won't forget the free chest rip

Really good vid. I think that you will grow a lot because there was not a video from you that I didn't like.

6:32 Hey im pretty sure this is OJ’s footage, maybe you should credit him?

Despite not being able to see them, there are still chest stats for them for each areana with all the other chests. You can also still use them... but only once at the start of the game. I wonder why they still make wooden chests gradually better each areana if you can't get them past training camp. -sincerely Uel

1:49 sparky was the first legendary i pulled on my old account, it plus golem got me all the way to legendary arena (which was then changed to hog mountain) so it’ll always hold a special place in my heart

How do you have only that much subs? Bro next Level content

"Compare to our lame golem now with crystals" Honestly, as a clash royale player since 2016, i like how the current golem looks. They look more like their COC counterparts, and it looks even nicer with the star level golden crown

I think your thumbnail is quite incorrect.

Idk if anyone remebers, but on the early days of clash royale, the prince had different sounds, when he charged the horse also screamed and when he hited something he would make a more high pitched sound in comparation of today.

Your videos are so good

We took the W

3:24 did he just censor the dude's balls with the clash royale logo ?

I cryed cuz this is so nostalgic me and my cousins used to spam play this

I remember the feeling when the penultimate card was an epic card, I kept crossing my fingers for a legendary to come in the last one, haha

The good old wooden chest... I got my first two or i guess first three legendarys out of them. It was my favourite chest. Also the Magical Cjest was my favourite, today i hate it.

Playing since launch, those old sound effects are so nostalgic

surprised you didnt mention how OP zap was. killed goblins and, iirc, stunned for a whole 1 second for 2 elixer

for the old playersrs,there also used to be a trend when we used to write a message to superscell frequesting for a legendary and after a bit most players used to get it as well.though it didnt happen to me,my friends did get legendaries bucuz of the request they made.I got my first legendary via magical chest ,it still feels like yesterday.the good old days man....😇

The thumbnail is incorrect it’s the other way around

🤫

Sparky is the true meaning of coming back with a bang

dont forget about the +70% dmg buff for executioner ;D

Larry is god

6:52 is that Jesus?

Fun fact: One of the skeleton is named ledoot because its a reference to a skeleton blowing a trumpet, making a doot sound.

8:00 This lasted until the winter of 2019 towards 2020, I remember I was out, it was season 6 and I took number 20 25, I don't remember anymore

7:13 i v got mk in 2019 in wood chest, I cryed...

this video brought me my old memory about clashroyale

I like how the title says "25 Facts Only Clash Royale Veterans Know", and the thumbnail shows an update about 2 years old 😭

I remember i got my first legendary card Lava hound from wooden chest..best feeling ever

Been playing for 7 years and 3 months and i really miss the old clan chest which you can get once every week if i remember that right

I got my ice wizard from a wooden chest at spell valley in 2016. Then 2 months later LH from crown chest. I went from builders workshop (1800 at the time) all the way to legendary arena with Lavaloon/double wizard.

7:11 my first legendary was ice wizard and got it from Wooden chest in 2017

still remember the time skarmy cost 4 elixir and had 20 skeletons in it, really overpowered in lower arenas at it's time.

4:15 We're going back to the summer of 2019 when pass royale came out and when it was possibly with the air thing

man, I miss the draft chests. they were fun to obtain and use. r.i.p. also, I did not even know that barb barrel and graveyard are changed because I never use them.

I miss the old fire spirits they so damn good

I remember quite a few of these facts like the royal recruit one and the fire spirit one. I have been playing since mid 2016 and have seen the game progress so much, honestly i liked the game more back in 2018. After they made all of the rearanging of lower arenas and rearanging of cards the game became much worse (I got league 2 before they made rascal's hideout, serinity peak ...), I still like the game but it isn't as much fun as it used to be.

I thought sparky was class. There was no zap, zappies or electro wizard back then either so it was good to drop deep

The 15k card chest was still around when I started. Could you imagine the joy of finally getting to open it again?

This gave me the memory of getting a legendary from a wood chest it was the best feeling ever

"Our lame golem now with crystals" Bro the golem looks so much better now what

Thank you for the high quality uploads Hallow! I hope you get more subs you deserve it.

oh my god. stop it. i cried hard at this. for 2 reasons. sadness from the heal spell, wooden chests, the triple fire spirit, the 6 elixer royal guards, super op graveyard. and the insane amounts of ptsd i recieved from all these insane things that happened with the night witch

I remember play cr and I was in arena 4. I just opened my free chest and I got a lava hound, it felt amazing. Some weeks later, i got another hound from free chest. It was incredible.

I really miss the wooden chest. While everyone else was collecting their legendaries, I never got a single one. Until one week I opened my wooden chest and got my first legendary. About a week later, I got my second legendary, _through another wooden chest!_ These two were my only legendaries I ever got, and then I stopped playing

u really took me back with the red tower skin i remember that and if i could go back now and buy it itd be such a flex same with the hog with raining coin emote. i lost the challenge with 1 win left, if only i was better

My memories rewinded when I was watching this nostalgic vid: 1. i remember you could get free chest per (i forgot if it was 8 or 12 hours). I once got a magic archer from a free chest 3 days after the magic archer release challenge was over. Then all my classmates called me a stupid money spender 😂 2. I remember my friend used to pair heal spell with goblin barrel and miner or minion heal spell with miner when he was pushing in arena 10 😂 Really worked and it placed him into arena 11 3. The day when my friend pushed to 4000 cups (I was ~5.8k), supercell announced that there will be no draft chest anymore 😢😢

I remember getting an ice wizard (one of the 2 legendaries at the time) and I was so happy that I need to tell everyone about that. Now when I get a legendary, a lot of times I feel disappointed that I didn't get the legendary I want.

U forgot about how a goblin barrel used to do damage on impact. And the log used to do way more damage to brown towers.

Ahh... I remember wooden chest once I got a legendary card 👌👌

I always hated the magical chest because I was the only person in my group of friends who never got a legendary from one. Been playing consistently since 2016 and got my first legendary from a magical chest less than a month ago.

the ice wizard was nerfed to die to fireballs after the addition of the spawning box around it.

This video was made 5 days ago… did you forget that Phoenix has been dominating the game for the last month. That’s way longer than the night witch being OP.

Even though i didnt notice the classic emotes lost old sounds. The moment i heard them just reminds old clash royale.

don't forget the 21 skeletons in skeleton army and it costed 4 elixir

I remember I used to pair heal spell with goblin barrel and miner or minion heal spell with miner when i was pushing in arena 10 😂 Really worked and it placed me into arena 11

I remember the time i got a graveyard from the free chests... it felt so good btw

I think I was one of the people that were the saddest about the fire spirit changes it was my favorite card till then

already know its gon be a banger

I actually won the night witch challenge, night witch was probably the most op card ever released

It was 2016 when clash royale became accessible to everyone and I was at Arena 5. I remember seeing the card "mirror" and really wanting it. At the time, when I reached Arena 5 I was thinking to myself if I should have bought a few giant chests just for a chance to get it. I remember spending 10 euros (which was a bit spent on a mobile game for me since I was a kid) to get 3 giant chests. Unfortunately I didn't get no mirror in those chests. I was really sad, and decided to spend 5 more euros to open one more giant chest. I see 4 cards, i see the second to last card being a mirror. I screamed with joy. The last card was an ice wizard. I think I don't apreciate these little things anymore in life. A less than 0.1% to get it. It was epic. I was the only one in my school to have a legendary at the time. Thanks for reading❤️
