The Barbarian Hut has been the worst building in Clash Royale for over two years straight, and despite numerous reworks, is still in an awful position. However, the hut did have some time in the spotlight, and the result of that is perhaps the reason it won't be given another chance...

@Daniele Salogni there already is one, it's the pekka
I like how cards like the barb hut are regarded as no skill cards but cards like hog rider, valk, or inferno tower aren’t. It’s not “no skill” it’s “that card counters the only deck I know how to use!! Nerf it!!”
Competitive players seem to really dislike when someone counters their main strategy. and from what I've seen in the rest of these comments I was right lmao.
Clash royale players sweating so much lol "nO SkiLL"
Remember the cards I play are the most skilled cards in the game and require hours of practice to play properly. The cards that you play are for primates.
@@Bob_Bobinson get better
Any card can be skilled if used in a smart way. Some of the more famous examples are kiting with an ice golem or using a tornado for a king tower activation. For most cards, it's tough to gauge their "skill level" because you only have 10 elixir to work with at a time, which usually means up to 2-3 cards at a time. So you either need to play few cards with multiple purposes or many cards with single purposes. Usually the "few cards with multiple purposes" is seen as "unskilled" because they're expensive and kind of do everything for you, and barbarian hut is one of the prime examples of that. It handles both defense and offense for you.
Can’t believe they made Barb Hut balanced to slightly below average 4 times and then proceeded to nerf it all 4 times. Barb Hut isn’t nearly as annoying as the other spawners and it doesn’t deserve the shit it’s gotten from the balance team. I can’t believe they think the Barbarian Hut rework was good, it was one of the worst in the game’s history. I wish they just kept it in the state it was in after the 1st health nerf, it was perfectly fine at that point and needed no more changes whatsoever
Goblin Hut and Furnace hitting towers over and over unless you play Cannon is cringe. Barbarian Huts are piss easy to deal with.
@@watyes7546NAH WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE
@@watyes7546 real. I cant stand having to deal with 9 spear goblins while trying to counter my opponents tank
clash royale is not clash of clans and they dont wanna be so they nerfed it
Yeah but you still need to change barberian troop and so it will make it worse if barberians got nerfed
Ah yes,barbarian hut,aka the one building that can never decide where it ranks in terms of usage,except for being near the bottom at least once.
Love how Supercell say that they don’t want defensive plays but Xbow remained playable for years without any rework to the core cards
Especially considering how popular Xbow has been in upper ladder for such a long time. Iirc xbow and mortar were in around 30-40% of top ladder decks combined at one point in time. It's not that easy to counter considering how much health it has and all the cheap defensive options which can be used reactively to protect it, unlike most other win conditions where you need to use your supporting troops proactively. I complain about it often because I lose almost every single match against X-bow decks since my deck is very defensive and lacks a strong offense. My strategy usually had a positive average win rate against most other meta decks before the addition of champions.
Sorry to interrupt you but xbow as a card is trash. But other supports make it decent. Only reason xbow got that popular was stupid archer buff

I always had a soft spot for the barb but. I liked the concept of a super tanky spawner that was great for defense. Too bad they nerfed it’s health constantly.
where's your soft spot
Barb but😳😳
I always thought the problem with the spawners was putting them down and forcing you to constantly spend elixir to avoid chip damage, letting the opponent build a push you can't defend or having you ignore all the chip so you're not in an elixir deficit. I think an interesting way they could go with the barb hut is making it spawn barbs at a much faster pace, but 1 by 1. This way they would not get to the tower, but force the user to capitalize on the numbers advantage without relying on the opponent's constant elixir going to stop the waves. The skill now lays on the barb player who is using a card that's useless unless you're properly supporting the barbs coming out
Nah that would make the opponent build a push easily
@@mi2420But the user would also be able to build a stronger push in response, because Barb trickle
@@yowza9638 No, because the barb hut is a 6-elixir commitment and if the opponent plays something slow like a bowler or musketeer, they are building up individually stronger units on their side than an occasional barbarian for a cheaper cost than the barb hut. They will have more elixir to work with on defense, and the barbs won't really do anything because they're very slow.
@@newtonthenewt1400 I think in that case, the barb hut should clearly be reworked completely, maybe not even cost 6 elixir anymore. I think the idea sounds really interesting, and if it doesn't work then they can reverse it. The state it is in now is so bad, I don't think that it can get any worse.
Trickling in RTS games is *really* weak. You're essentially spending more to not have a numbers advantage. If the opponent puts up a strong ranged option, then the barbarians will just get killed before they can do anything and you've spent 6 resources on doing nothing but give the opponent a chance to build up their own push.

The early days were something, Spawner decks were the first time I audibly groaned when I had to face them. That being said, I do like defensive options and from what you reported this card served that role really well for what it was. I don't get this shift towards hyper aggression focused games in a lot of things nowadays, if someone wants to play lame, let them. It's up the player to figure out/build a deck around that.
I just groan every time i face hog cycle bait or graveyard now. I have never seen a company go from we want the game to be offensive to lets make all the meta deck win conditions pop up on a tower and then add 7 cycle defence cards in every meta deck every season.
I do think that defensive buildings have a place, especially against spam cards like hog rider. It promotes well-designed pushes rather than bridge spam. Great video!
You know,speaking of buildings-ish,would the Cannon Cart be a good video topic? I think it’d be interesting to see how it did over the years due to its rather peculiar role.
Cannon cart is the chaddest card in the entire game. Saved me alot of times.
@@adoorwithstaronit8573 it’s definitely one of the more stable cards in terms of reliability,at least on defense. On offense he can be a bit finicky,but being able to solo a Mega Knight is nothing to scoff at. (At least if the 2 cards are equal level, *thanks Supercell totally appreciate it-* )
Personal experience tells me people underestimate it sometimes. I've downed many towers with a conveniently placed broken cart.
i would like to see an xbow video
@@crackersandpie136 well, it was actually faster before sc nerfed its speed. It was a surprisingly dangerous punishment/ambush card that if placed on middle for example, it can lockon the princess tower under a second.
imagine if it was 7 cost, waves 7 seconds apart, 2 per wave, rocketable, spawn 1 on death, and too big to be placed behind tower *BUT* little to no decay (5 HP a second MAX) giving it as a niche as the single most long lasting structure card. It wouldn't be spammable if it were a big building because you would run out of space if you tried to spam it. I feel a rework like this is in line with the original card's design without ruining the meta or anything.
Remove it make a barbarian spirit
Bro, your content is so good that you made me play Clash Royale again after 2 years! Keep it up!
Literally me!! He's awesome
I want to see the History of the Electro giant, he got a pretty insteresting development on this game and definitely changed it for better or for worse
Man, I hate that card so much and I use PEKKA and freeze, arguably two of the best counters.
@@roguebarbarian9133 Pekka and freeze ah yes midladder decks
That card was mentioned briefly in the mirror video as being problematic because mirror has a tendency to enable overpowered cards to be more overpowered due to the level increase, but it would be cool to see it gets its own video.
The E-Giant gets changed too much. He could start working on the video now and by the time it releases, E-Giant can move as fast as a Lumberjack, cost 3 elixir and reflect three times the damage. Stuff like Barb Hut and The Mirror haven't been touched in years so they are fair game, but something like E-Giant is always unstable and unpredictable
@@roguebarbarian9133 Midladder Ahhh deck 😂
I remember using the barbarian hut before the meta picked it up in challenges, I would use it in a bridge deck and it was really fun. UNTIL ALL OF THE SUDDEN EVERYONE STARTED USING IT AND THEN THEY NERFED IT. I used all my gold on it too. 😢
Me too man... me too... 🫂
They should do a rework to make the Barbarian Hut into Elite Barbarian Hut.
Nice Spawn 3 Elite Barbarian Double the Time and 2 Extra when the Building is Destroyed
Holy fuck no. Don't mix those two
Nah, we need barbarian hut spirit.
@@Jakkaribik1 they’re not spawning 3 ebarbs, 2 already cost 6 elixer, and that’s going to break the whole game unless they nerf it to hell. The time is already fine, if the time gets doubled it’ll be 7 mins at max, that’s way too long. 3 mins with a min of sudden death is fine.
@@JustNeutral i think he means time between spawns
Possible rework: - Spawners have a limited number of units to spawn - Spawners must be manually tapped to spawn, each spawn removes building health - They’re cheaper to put down but must spend elixir (0.5-2) to spawn troops
Some is good though the last one would lead to rush down decks with hordes
@@herbertanthonysuperninjas3803 maybe it costs more elixir each time you spawn troops
This second idea doesn't really sound like a good idea for the game, but for a party mode, hell yeah! Would be extremely funny to just spawn like 10 spear goblins at once for 5 elixir. Basically a spear goblin army xD I think that they should consider a building champion which can use such an ability. A spawner which can, when pressed the button for 1 or 2 elixir, spawn troops worth 2 waves immediatly or something. But that would be kinda boring ngl.
Maybe some kind of champion building, who's ability spawned troops?

I love these videos so much they are all so well-made! It really shows that you put a lot of time and effort into these. The music is definitely one of my favorite parts.
I don’t even play Clash Royale anymore, and I have fell in love with this channel and have literally been impatient for the next video 😭 Keep the good work up bro, this is literally amazing
I honestly dont mind the Barb hut because to me, one of the major risks youre doing is spending 7 elixir on a hut that'll eventually get destroyed. I also feel as though there was nothing entirely wrong with it, just a community thing imo.
Like they say that mega Knight is op😒😒😒
@@D-D-DAKI mega knight is op at annoying but sucks as a card and Babarian hut costs 6???
But barb hut costs 6 elixir tho...Lol
@@Ugh718 Yes, and prior to the rework it costed 7, genius.

Bomber seems like a card that has had a very interesting history, one where a rework actually helped keeping the card viable
I've been following you since your very first video, and I'm saying it and will say again, your content is criminally underrated for the absolute quality it is. I also have no idea how you manage to make them that quickly
Hey! I really appreciate the types of videos you’re making. They’re a really neat spin on the clash royale genre. I haven’t seen anything else like them on KZhead. My personal favorite card that you haven’t covered is the Battle Ram so if you ever do a video on that, I’d love to see it!
The fact you can still creat high quality and interesting content is amazing! I don’t play the game anymore but I still watch your videos because no matter what’s the current situation with the game I like your content!
Yeah same here, started the game when jungle arena was released and quit for good after the fire spirits nerf. These vids are high quality and impressive despite being about a game which has fallen off hard.
This guy manages to get me invested into the meta of a game I haven’t played since elementary school
I’ve been binge watching all these videos lol it brings back nostalgia and they’re actually interesting keep up the amazing work! Excited to see your next videos to come
I have not played them game in like 5 years, but man is your channel fun to watch. Just finished binge watching every video. Subscribed and hit the bell button. Can’t wait for more! You make these videos so fun to watch!
This guy is a genius. He does great research, he has amazing ideas, and wonderful background music
Have retired awhile back, I still have memories when the Barb Hut was prominent during spawner meta, before becoming futile as the game progresses. It did made a bit of resurfacing during bridge spam era, but I never see this card get talked about anymore. Sad.
It's like your videos are telling the finished story of an once great game. The right balance of nostalgia and stats, keep going !
“There’s 3 spawners” *furnace in the corner*
Honestly, I want to see a video on the history of the Phoenix and Monk. I know they haven't existed for too long, but it was still such a crazy time to be playing the game, back when they were everywhere.
Love your research man. These videos are great!
I have been looking for this kind of content for so long but was never happy with what I found Can freely say that your channel is way better than any others by FAR and I will gladly subscribe for sure Can't wait for future videos!

They should drop the cost to 5 elixir, reduce amount of barbs to 4 + 1 death barb, and increase hit points to like 2k or something, and delay each wave by like 5 seconds
I like your idea of delaying the first spawn yet I feel like every card has to do something if ur dumping 7 mana, I think they should make it spawn one elite barbs on placement and another on death death and then it would get played.
your video essays are always goated. i personally loved this one a lot its a very nice recap
I love watching you while multitasking you’re voice is calming yet informative

it cracks me up how well made these videos are
Haven’t played clash Royale in years yet your videos are quite entertaining, nice job
You have no idea how happy I was to see a new Gratz video when I hopped on today
Another banger Gratz thanks for the content, keep doing what you're doin
I think people shouldn’t use “no skill” as an argument against a card, in fact, it could be considered a good thing since it is more forgiving then “high skill cards”
love ur vids man keep it up!
Gratz upload video, and the evening is better. Just crab popcorn and watch. I’ve watched all ur vids like 3 times loved it ❤
Needs a huge buff on my opinion like 5 or 6 elixir and an evo where it spawn stronger barbs either evo or elite idk but and also spawns through mortar and hut
Love this content, would love to see a video on how overpowered the fire spirits were
I would love to see a video like the 2.6 video but on other decks, like logbait or xbow (even tho a vid abt xbow would be not so interesting) but i see vids abt card are falling down, mixing between decks and single cards would keep the channel fresh in my opinion. Btw i love ur content just gives me a peaceful feeling , keep it up!
I've never known I'd want Clash Royale analyses. Godspeed
Hell yeah New Gratz video! Such a treat for new players and people like me who've played since global launch!
love your videos man keep it up
Gratz, that purposed balance change is actually genius. I think that first wave delay would work wonders, keeping it a viable card whilst limiting it's reactionary defensive capabilities. A little tweaking and I think it would fit well into a few decks, even competitively.
Another good video gratz, anticipate an xbow timeline in the future

YESS EMOTIONAL CARD MONTAGE WITH MC MUSIC RETURN this is why i love u mate
Needed this for the start of my finals week
I haven't played Clash in a long, long time, but seeing this has made me somewhat interested. I used to do the 3 Spawner strat early in the game, using Barb, Goblin, and Skeleton, and I thought that what they had there was a little powerful, but could have stayed. The Barb. Hut was the most offensive of the three, while the Goblin Hut was the most defensive, and the graveyard (I believe that's what it is called) was mostly just for keeping enemy units away. The three together covered each other nicely, but I admit they did too well. However, I would have said to make them spawn less or something similar, thus making it so that you had to actually play other cards. The core concept of a card that can apply a small, but constant, amount of pressure is something that I don't really think is in the game currently, and I kinda miss. Even if these three are never good again, I'd at least like them to be fun.
nice vid man. (C418 is so good hearing minecraft nether theme is so relaxing)
Man, watching these videos brings back so many memories. I used to play this game every day with my friends back in high school when it first came out. Unfortunately, we all lost interest as we got older, and it didn't help that the game became a frustrating mess. It's was fun at the time but not anymore
