CWA Mobile Gaming So happy today’s video is that long🎉
21:35 are we just going to ignore the double tower snipe
Dude i was about too say tht😂😂
I didn't know that's even possible lol
I was thinking that
I always try to do that with a Hog Rider on one side and a Fireball on the other, but always fail haha
Yep. i think so.
A comment once said : "if life gives you lemons, give up. there's no chance."

thanks to you, I will never lose now.
I really hate how easy he makes it look, then I go try this deck and absolutely bomb it like a nub. His defense skills are insane!
KeaGirl its only good in challenger 1 and above
I know right *pushing on ladder* *Opponents: Royal Giant, Golem, Megaknight* *Me: My time has come*
Hilarious lmao!!!! I do the same thing kea haha!!!!
Girl same! Lol about to hop on and try after I do every xbow video
Pedro 😅
7:20 notice how he placed the Xbow one tile to the left. This is very useful in Lava Loon matchups as you can pull the balloon all the way to the Xbow with a Tesla.
TheScottishBeaver it’s still useful information
thanks for that tip!
duh, every tesla xbow or tesla motar player knows that
Well, not everyone is as great as you :)
sorry. That move is crucial tho
21:34 Ash just gonna ignore that both towers went down simultaneously lol
@Sir Blu I was looking for a comment about this xD
20:48 that was so well played from the opponent, he knew lemontree had just cycled all of his cycle cards, only having fireball so he drops it a single tile lower down. My man. EDIT: He even gets the zap down for the double crown - what a beast.
What a hard counter and he BM's the whole game, such an idiot not a beast. That zap at the end was great tho.
that player is in my frndlist
Yeah what a dickwad spamming emotes
@@RizwanAhmad-pg1rq can you give me the player tag pliz
Xbow is definitely high skill. You misplace the xbow by just one tile or just one second late and you loose your chance to lock on or defend correctly. I completely get how it can be annoying to play against but honestly it’s not as annoying as people make it to be. Certainly not as bad as a spawners deck.
not only that, if you misplace your tesla just by 1 tile, you are probably going to lose. Same with the 1 elex skeletons, it's quite hard to surround a troup with them.
You take 1 second more to deploy your troop and boom it’s locked and now the guy is spamming things on the bridge to defend it and there is nothing you can do about it. When you finally manage to take it out guess what, there is another XBow on the arena, and if you aren’t quick enough, it locks again. When you are placing the XBow, you don’t have any pressure on you, you can basically take as much time as you want but defending it is different. I agree with the Tesla, but if you ice spirit and skeleton, and then fireball and/or zap it destroys almost any push and can redirect the troop you were trying to defend in the first place to a Tesla. If you are facing XBow and don’t have a restart card, when you make a mistake it locks and there’s nothing you can do.
Or log instead of zap
I also forgot to add that most of the time, after the lock, he doesn’t need to attack again and just plays defensive XBow and spell cycles.
@@imdumbbut1681 have you ever played 2.9 xbow?
21:35 the opponent actually manages to get a 2 crown perfect timing
16:20 fireball move balon to tesla, this guy placement is on another level. Sorry for bad english ✌️
Skill: high Frustration: higher than sparky's damage per hit
As a 2.9 player all I can say is this vid is my dream come true thank you ash soooooo much
Ohhhh yes what a timing Ash, was just about to take a big poo. Ps i hope Dank Ganon comes back sometime soon!
Dank Ganon changed his in game name to Zelgius. He sometimes appears on TV Royale. No offense to Dank Ganon or anything, but he is not as good as lemontree or Hajime anymore. However, Dank Ganon is better at the mirror matchup; he recently showed on his Twitter that he beat lemontree, not just once, but twice.
Young Lin oh wow I didn’t know that, I thought he was still taking a break. Cheers for the heads up lad. And yeah I agree he might not be the best, I love to watch him so much tho because he does a lot of predictions and just plays in a funny/risky way which makes it so enjoyable to watch haha
Don't forget to flush the toilet 5 minutes into the vid!
Perfect timing! Hope it's a 45 minute poo!
Man dank Gabon is god he got 150 wins in GT with 2.9 if ull remember !!
I never used to play x-bow and called it “no skill” until I started playing it. It takes more skill than you think.
Thanks for this video Ash! These long videos that are very in-depth and sort of a 1-stop video to learn how to play a deck are my absolute favorite out of all the ones you do. This one is also great because I’m a xbow player around the 6400-6600 trophy ranged, making it crucial to learn all kinds of little interactions to beat some pretty good players. All in all, this was my favorite video and favorite format on your channel, really great video.
And it is........ Lemontree! I’m so glad you brought him on the channel, and 47 minutes as well. GG edit: reached the point where you asked what you would rank xbow. I’d rank it #1 highest skilled, or somewhere up there. As a 2.9 xbow player I know How hard it is to play. I’ve also had some succes with it on ladder getting to 7000 trophies 2 times (and soon to be 3 xd). It takes incredibly long to learn the deck, I have probably played 5000+ matches with it and I’m nowhere near lemontree’s skill. Edit #2: the matchup at 38:00 is very easy btw (it looks even easier when lemontree is playing)
Do you share your link, I play 2.9 too at 6600 pb, looking for someone better than me to watch
Hydar lemontree only has 9k wins aswell, other pro’s have like 20k
زياد محمد على I cant send the link in the comments, so I’ll share my discord: Hyd2R9#1765
@Matthew Aniston Same I use 2.9 and I think 2.6 is higher skill
@Hack You That makes no difference. 2.6 doesn't have as good defence so it makes it higher skill
Anyone who claims 2.9 is a low skill archetype cleary has never tried it out before. My god is that deck difficult to master.
Megaknight bridge spam is a low skill archetype, not 2.9 xbow
Mathieu Peeters I actually never had that much difficulty playing 2.9 I was winning a lot when I started playing it, but I must say there was still lots of improvement since then
@@strangeanimations2518 its easier to pick up when you already played some cycle decks (log bait, miner chip) since they also rely on good usage of cycle cards
@@jacobobos exactly. So how high skill is it with 2 buildings and that good a cycle?
Whats so hard about it. You literally place it in 1 of 2 tile spots and defend by positive trades, and you literally control the whole match. And yes before you say im a low trophy player i play around 5800-6000 and a Free to play player, theres nothing hard about this deck,
“Bookmark this and add it too your cookies” subbed for that phrase.
quitting conditions for a battle: 1. opponent is level 13. 2. they have a chinese or asian name that is made of characters. 3. They have pass royale. 4. They split golden archers in the back. 5. It's gg from there.
true
Desmond Alohan maybe not everyone has spent as much time as you have big boy
@Desmond Alohan cuz i am level 10
arch21 I just got all my xbow decl cards to level 13 and I can beat a maxed 13, sure I had to over defend because they can do serious damage but it’s possible. I prefer 3.0 (2.9 xbow with knight) because it’s really good at defending.
You're just a noob at clash royale, get better rather than crying about quitting a battle.
Love these long xbow vids! Do them more often : D!
23:08 that skeleton placement wasnt to avoid spell but instead to let the opponent's troop get in our tower range to kill it faster
Such a great gameplay...holy all those small interactions really add up and make the difference. I would love to see such a Video with hog,exe,nado(,Rocket,goblins,valk,log,ice spirit). And as allways great Job ash Keep up the good work and greetings from germany😁😉
I love these types of videos! Especially with people as good as lemon tree! I recommend doing occasional longer videos with a specific deck.
Im so glad lemontree is finally on the channel I always watch his videos and you can learn alot from him
Glad you enjoyed it man :) He's the best!
@@ChatWithAsh crafter cr is better to learn from as he gives pro tips in the overlay and explains his decision. But lemontree is slightly better than him.
Ash: how to play xbow Pros: how to beat lemontree
Thank you so much for daily content, Ash. I look forward to watching your video every single day. I come home from work & cant wait to throw on CWA’s video to relax & reset. So so appreciated, you are a content god, Ash.
Personally I love these lemontree68 and Ganon videos ash they're just so fruitful in learning, no matter how long they are they are beauty to watch.....but maybe that's because I'm a 2.9 player. Keep up the good work brother thanks for the amazing content
My take on skill level of Xbow: It is very difficult to just pick up and play BUT its not hard to become a decent player with in. THEN its insane to master
I use this deck it took months to learn just the basics, my friend wanted to use it but not learn it cause he thought it was a easy deck he lost 20 games in a row then he had to watch a whole bunch of videos just to get the very basics
I absolutely LOVE the long format videos!! Please keep 'em coming, I will devour them all!
Every time opponent send laughing emote Ash : "The opponent has nothing to do but laugh"
I’ve been playing Graveyard as of late and it feels really strong in this meta, have any plans to make any videos on GY?
Camus please don’t I don’t want to see more of that stuff on ladder
@@rumikazbar8228 graveyard isn't even common on ladder?
mashedPotado well I face a decent amount, also in gc and tournaments. I just have a hard time against. Mostly I was joking, ash should make videos on a full variety of decks
Tomorrow :)
@@ChatWithAsh Thank youuuuuuuu.
21:34 HOLY CRAP! is no one gonna talk about that overtime 2-0 crown? 😱 did not expect that.
I really like these longer videos, I wish you would do some other archetypes like: mortar bait, giant miner cycle, megaknight bait, graveyard, etc. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Really like those long video's! It perfectly shows how to play against alot of different (difficult) matchup's. More of those please!
Lemon tree is a freakin god jeez. Makes me feel like such a peasant even trying to play 2.9 lol
I'd love to see Yerson in the same format.
sh1ny please, this!
I play X-Bow and it definitely took me a while to learn How to play correctly. I get that i can be frustrating to face but you gotta appreciate the time players spent to learn this deck because this archetype isn’t something you just pick up and have succes with
I do love the idea of these long videos, that way we can see the pro player against many more different decks and how to beat them
A high skill cap deck doesn’t mean it’s hard to play. That’s why 2.9 is simultaneous very high and low skill at the same time. Anyone can pick it up and be good with it, but for someone to be *really* good at it, they need more knowledge than most other archetypes in the game.
Yea, that's a great way to look at it!
Watching a pro like lemontree playing x-bow looks easy because he knows how to use the cycle cards for clean defenses but once you start playing 2.9 its not easy as it looks
It actually is easy, and using your cycle cards for defense almost garuntees a W.
Mac The Kaczmawrecked no its not. you have to have perfect timing and placements to really pull it off. there are so many small nuances you have to know to win defensively. one bad placement on an ice golem or archers can legit turn into an instant tower down
@@FizzleIsGaming if you get past 5000 trophies and you still can't perfectly place your cards then uninstall the game. I don't know why people make it sound more difficult than it is.
Mac The Kaczmawrecked just because something is easy to pick up initially doesnt mean its extremely easy to pull off in top 200 lmao. low entry level doesnt mean low skill cap
@@FizzleIsGaming I disagree. The deck is easy to use. That's all I'm saying. Who cares anyway, it's a kids mobile game.
I love this video style Ash. I think it'd be sick to watch more like it. I spent the entire 45 min vid watching this while playing RuneScape and it was very chill. Keep it up
Now this is my favorite video of your channel, can't believe you uploaded a 47 minutes video, it blew my mind, LemonTree is my favorite pro player at the moment and I love X-bow.
I would have to rank it THE MOST annoying deck to face 😆😆 All jokes aside, Definitely in my top 3! Hardest decks to play if not #1!!!
I'd rather face xbow 2.9 than hog 2.6. Both have insanely high skill CAPS for sure, regardless of annoyance.
Quintin Goynes in terms of skill, 2.6 is in a different league than all other decks imo
2.6
@Hack You well what deck do you play?
@Hack You and your trophy range?
Hey ash, I went on a massive tilt at the end of last season. I dropped from just around 6k to 5500. I had 16 losses and 11/16 had maxed out wizards. 5k-6k is the wizard hell zone it seems, especially against a spongy bait deck like mine. Any thoughts to nerf/rework/delete him?
I too have max wizard
Maybe play something else while in the 5k-6k range then go back to your bait deck
Cast Light! It’s super hard as a free to play player though.
@@joe6013 Thats true, you may only have one deck upgraded enough
Awesome video Ash, really enjoyed the longer video. I think its a great idea to have the best of some meta decks just doing their thing on ladder. Shoutout from South Africa 😁
i absolutely loved the long video format. could we see one of these for each archetype where the best of the best plays it? thanks ash! great video 👊
Skill: 9/10 Annoyance: 10/10 Jealousy that I suck with Xbow: 💯/10
Hey Ash! I was wondering if you would be able to have one of the experts talk about the viability of royal recruits in x-bow?
Why would you wanna play those cards together?
27:33 Ash: "We never loss elixir leaked" Next Match: Literally just lost the elixir leaked
Hey Ash, just wanted to say this format is a great way to learn about a specific archetype. The length is fantastic and it can never be too long for anyone trying to learn as the more battles that are shown, the more matchups and different archetypes can be taught against the "featured" deck. I hope you keep making videos like this! P.S: I suggest getting a prince rascals bait pro to show us how to play against different matchups! Honestly any archetype to learn is great, just wanted prince rascals bait because I play it ;) Cheers!
It's KZhead Ash! We just save it to our playlists✊
The problem with cycle decks like xbow or 2.6 hog isn't that they aren't high skill. It's that the skill barrier to entry is so low. There are so many braindead players who just speed cycle everything with no purpose and catch you without counters. Good players will beat them because they literally just throw away elixir but it takes no skill and is very annoying to face and that's why I think it gets a bad rap.
Great video ash! Please do more like these with pros playing other decks they're the best at
I love these long videos ash, it’s a great vid to put on while you try to go sleep
19:16 that's the quality I came for
Gaming with Utkarsh We can always rely on ash for quality content 😎
my opinion on x-bow: I think the offense is really low-skill. You just put it down and defend it. Defence is really highskill, because you only have cycle cards to defend. like so ash can see and if you agree!!
First time I ever watched a 47 minute video on youtube! Awesome video definitely keep this style of content with other archetypes. Keep up the great work bro 👍🤙
I have quit playing clash royal 2 year ago, but i still watch its video but only those which are related to xbow or spell cycle. Those defensive sequence really grab my heart!
X-bow is high skill and sometime super patient deck..
I play 2.9 and I think is pretty skill cap this deck but if you play like me for 2 mounts you will be very good with that deck also is nice because it help f2p players like me . Like that comm if you agree with my opinion
Yes. Please. More of this exact type of content. Please. Been watching every video on your channel for over a year now, and this was easily my favourite content you put out in that timeframe. Would love to see Yerson next. Please? I would honestly love 2-hour videos of just straight content by the best players, with good commentary like in this video, but I will settle for 45-minute ones if I have to :3 Also, my take on the whole high skill vs low skill debate, is that 2.9 X-Bow is difficult to play, but also difficult to play against. If they lock on to your tower once, it’s pretty much over. So in that sense, it’s pretty easy to lose to it. That doesn’t make it an easy deck to play of course, but I can see why non-2.9 players might think that.
about the high-skill/low-skill question, i think it is one of the most (if not THE most) high-skill archetypes in the game, it takes tons of practice, you have to learn different basics according to what deck you're playing against and there's a lot of precision involved, specific placments, etc.. but, at the same, once you've learned all this stuf and feel comfortable with the deck, it becomes the easiest choice (and this might be what people who say x-bow 2.9 is a low-skill deck is trying to say), because even the hardest match ups are winnable as long as you focus on defense and spellcycling without making mistakes.
sure it's "high skill". The real question is the skill cap of decks/cards. The skill cap on xbow is literally ten fold compared to beatdown and control decks; meaning that it takes a lot of time to master, but once mastered (like lemontree has) it's extremely broken and can beat any other deck on top ladder due to the nature of the card. It has no real "hard counter", must be responded to, and is played from the opponents side of the bridge. All of these factors heavily disrupt the usual style of clash royale gameplay which is why so many people get annoyed with the card (including myself). Once completely mastered, this deck cannot lose if played perfectly.
Royal giant and lightning, golem beatdown, giant sparky, and hog earthquake are all extremely hard counters to 2.9. To win with 2.9 against these decks u don’t need to just play perfectly, u need the opponent to make mistakes too. Not many other decks in the game require perfect gameplay and mistakes from the opponent to win.
"no real hard counter." good one
I see your point but i disagree, X-bow is counter sensitive . Yes, not many counters but a bad match-up like a giant or (lava/golem players who ignore your xbow and go all in and will at least result in a tower trade and xbow is useless when you lose a princess tower) will almost always result in a lose regardless of how good you are.
@@mikeymicros4676 if a beat down player who plays perfectly goes against an x-bow player who plays perfectly, the xbow will always win. Which is why lemon tree can get top 5 every season so easily.
Royal giant n x bow are toxic decks
I'd actually like to disagree with you on the Xbow skill cap. I've been playing it for 2 months to understand the archetype better and I'd actually say its pretty low skill. Every card you play is on your side of the arena. You never cross the bridge and redirect all the cards your opponent has so they cant touch your towers. For me, I see it a cowardice deck more than a skillful deck.
Play against max royal giants 4-5 games in a row and u won’t be having fun playing Xbow on ur side
Do more of these on different decks with different player that master them,great video man:)
I liked the vid! My favorite thing about your videos is definitely the pro player gameplay with the legendary ash commentary.
Loved the video maybe more general tips from the player against some cords like switchings or holding or going agressive once cycle fixes
Yes I really enjoyed this video Ash. I really liked seeing the high skill X-Bow content. And I really don't mind the longer video
Lemon is by far one of my most favorite players in CR. I started play 2.9 almost year ago and then discovered him and he influenced me so much. Pls make sure to bring him often 🙂❤️
Hey ash just wondering you take on 2.9 xbow after the earthquake buff, do you think it will make a difference. Btw love your videos keep up the good work
Great video Ash thank you! I ‘d love one of these videos about 2.6 hog, maybe with Jack, Lukas or the current big player of that archetype
Love the format, keep doing it please, it helps a lot
Awesome format, loved it. Lemontree is an xbow legend. What a run!
Long time listener, first time caller. I enjoyed the hell outt'a this. The longer videos always give it a bit more of a chance to figure out what the hell we're watching. And you're killing the commentary.
You should definitely make this a series of videos with the best of each archetype!
I really enjoyed the format. Watching a top player through many matches makes me see all his intricacies. Would say do another video in the same style for mortar!
His reaction and analysis skills are amazing, the below 7k gameplay is so different when compared to the top 200 even when u know what decks they ll still play n able to beat them , brilliant !
I would love the same format for classic golem triple spell, haven't seen a video on that archetype for ages and I would enjoy the insight of a pro on that. Btw playing golem triple spell with firecracker instead of mega minion
Love the video and the idea of doing a how to series on a specific deck.
Absolutely loved this format of video! sometimes i just wanna sit down and watch a bunch of clash from people that are alot better than me. Please make more like this asap :)
thank you so much for the long lemontree vid Ash!
Love it! Keep up the 29 XBOW vids...love the channel!
Totally loved it. It was a textbook video for 2.9 gameplay
You know you have a problem with Clash Royale when you watch a 47 minute video on a deck you never play. Love the content!
i have been playing x-now for around a month and a half now and i’d have to say it is definitely a high-skill deck because of how important elixir management is and you always have to make sure you are gaining elixir from countering huge pushes with vary cheap and weak cards efficiently
I've never used this deck before, got in a classic collection battle, and it was laughable how easily I controlled the match. There was nothing my opponent could do, and I had 0 experience with the xbow playstyle. I just got one lock on, took out a chunk of the tower's health, then defended and spell cycled the tower to 0.
Love the longer videos! Maybe in the future we could vote on the deck? Keep up the great work Ash!
Ash this was amazing please do more. I love you commentating even for just one match
This format/type of video is great 👍 would love to see more!
I started to play this deck last year and actually can't remember the amount of times I lost consecutively before I started to learn how to play it, I got really frustrated because I felt like my opponents were winning just by spamming in the bridge, watching lemontree's videos actually helped me a lot to realize how I should play against the worst matchups of 2.9, which are fairly difficult. Maybe I'm just not a very good player, but at least for me this is the most difficult archetype I've played
Best content on your channel so far for me ! Thankyou and lemontree for that !
I love this sort of video , keep it up ash 👍
Really enjoyed this Ash! If possible please put out more lengthy videos like this. Was nice not having to search through videos to watch every 5-10 min
Great vid ash X Bow 100% favorite deck to watch keep it up
Amazing video as usual, Ash! Can you make a video with the same format for Golem decks?
As a 2.9 player myself, I love this deck, it’s very challenging to use because different matches require different play styles, like hog and golem for example or balloon
I love these kinds of videos. Please keep making them with different archetypes
I love this video format and guest players Ash. I watched this when it first released and started climbing with 2.9 xbow. I also gave some love to lemontrees channel as well. Thank you
