User blog:Captain GLeen Du Grande/My thoughts on the 6/8/18 balance changes

Supercell announced that the new balance changes will be here soon, bringing balance to Inferno Dragon, Tesla, reworking the Bomb Tower and more! Here’s my thoughts!

Let’s start!

Inferno Dragon: Range -0.5, can be knocked backInfernoDragonCard.png
I’m tired on calling the Inferno Dragon the worst legendary as it was really horrible before, now this change might even kill it. The range nerf is fine, but being able to be knocked back? Oh boy, it seemed small, but let me tell you: when ID’s knocked back, his ramp up will be reset, like those that are as weak as the Snowball will reset it as long as it’s knocked back.

This change might bring Inferno Dragon back to the worst legendary next to Sparky, which is what I don’t wanted

RIP Inferno Dragon

Royal Hogs: 1st attack hits 0.65 seconds faster RoyalHogsCard.png
Royal Hogs is too weak as a card apparently, it doesn’t deal enough damage and dies very quickly, the 1st attack will be faster, so it can deal more damage consistently

But I think they still need more buff

Baby Dragon, Hits 0.1 seconds faster, can be knocked backBabyDragonCard.png
Baby Dragon is a controversial one, some say it’s very OP, having very high HP for chip damage for 4 elixir only, some say it sucks as the damage is too low, making Wizard and Executioner a better option

This time, Baby Dragon is getting a bit of a rework, he’ll hit a bit faster, so he can do more damage at a shorter period of time. To buff Giant Snowball a bit more, he’ll be able to be knocked back.

I don’t think that will affect him too much

Knight: damage +5% KnightCard.png
Let’s be honest: Knight is just bad. He’s really one of the worst cards because of the Valkyrie being way too strong

Ok I’m just kidding! Valkyrie is indeed way too strong, but Knight’s nowhere near being one of the worst cards, he’s just outclassed badly. Supercell wanted to even out the usage rate of the mini tanks (Knight, Valkyrie and Ice Golem), which is why Knight’s gaining more damage so he can 1 shot Goblins.

I personally don’t think that’s enough though. I think Valkyrie needed a actual nerf to make Knight great again, but that was just a temporary solution for the Knight
