User blog:Captain GLeen Du Grande/Why should the Knight be buffed

Remember the times when Knight is arguably the most overpowered cards in the game? Yes, he has a lot of HP, for 3 elixir only, he can counter a lot of troop, swarms, even tank. There was actually quite a time where Ice Golem and the other mini tanks are nowhere to be seen, thanks to him! But unfortunately, after realizing Knight is too overpowered, supercell nerfed him twice. He did gain 3% HP back but in my opinion: this is not enough. Knight is still a bit underwhelming. He needs a buff in my opinion. But Why?



1. Outclassed by many other troops (Particularly Ice Golem) IceGolemCard.png
After his 6% HP nerf, I thought the reason why Knight’s usage rate and win rate has gone down severely thanks to Dark Prince, Which got buffed at the same time. For 4 months already Dark Prince is considered as the #1 Card that needed a huge nerf. But After he got nerfed in April, I realized even if he remained OP, Knight’s biggest rival is the Ice Golem. His stats are obviously far worse but he provided way more value thanks to his cheaper cost, only 2 elixir! And he has a slow down! He only attacks buildings, which assist his ability to kite.

Think about that: Comparison to these 2 vs the PEKKA, Knight gets striked down in 2 shots, whereas Ice Golem drag the PEKKA all the way to the other side, letting the tower to kill her. Comparing to Knight, obviously Ice Golem did a better job!
