User blog:Captain GLeen Du Grande/Ranking the Common cards (April 2018)

It’s been a while since I made a card rarity ranking, starting with common again! This time, I’ll also tell what solutions some cards need, to make them a good card, but not too OP, let’s start at the worst common card, 21.

21. Skeleton Barrel (12) SkeletonBarrelCard.png
RIP skeleton Barrel, the skeleton Barrel could’ve been at #5 and it definitely needs a nerf as it was way too overused before the February balance changes, but the last nerf was way too harsh, killing it completely. With 2 less skeletons, left ignored, it deals 1000 less damage than usual, making it from a very versatile card from a totally useless cards. With Mega Knight being nerfed as well, the Barrel was sent away from the meta. This card needs a rework or buff to be viable again!

Buff and rework ideas for Skeleton Barrel
+1 Skeleton

Make it deal more damage, but not as much as when it have 8

+2 skeletons, skeletons spawn slower and less HP

The skeletons will take longer to deploy, give more time for opponents to react, but it’ll be just the same before the nerf, Except it’s easier to stop

20. Bomber (21)BomberCard.png
This card is at the bottom for so many ranking yet it still haven’t been buffed. Without a change, this poor skeleton will never be good on the top ladder. Like what I said, the HP is totally garbage

Wizard is so much better right now as he hits faster, better range and most importantly has more HP and can hit air

I mean seriously do we need bomber at higher arena when we have troops that are only a bit more expensive and has so much better HP and works better than him?

Solutions for Bomber
HP +20%, Hits 0.2 seconds faster and extra lob range

Lob range allows his Bomb to have extra bounce when he misses, meaning he’ll have extra range

19. CannonCannonCard.png
Golem’s reply: No, you suck anyways

Well even Golem’s laughing at the cannon, Yes, after Tesla’s full rework, cannon became meaningless.

Cannon just suck because of the bad HP and damage, the range is also poor, it can’t even outrange Musketeer! The problem with Cannon nowadays is the terrible stats and lifetime, I think at least one of those should be fixed!

solutions:
Range +1, HP +5%

Now that Royal Giant can’t outrange it anymore, it can be more reliable on defence and provide decent distraction. And speaking of the Royal Giant

18. Royal Giant RoyalGiantCard.png
This could’ve been an issue for RG if Cannon can hit him. We all know that the RG suck already in tournaments just because his damage is very bad, his HP isn’t good for 6 elixir. Also, he’s just very slow. It’s only used by unskilled players, otherwise it’s useless in fair play

What he lacks is his damage, his damage is garbage, with only 93 DPS at lvl 9

solutions
Damage +10%, Hits 0.1 seconds faster

So even with Cannon’s buff, it still won’t be too much of an issue, and it will wreck other buildings much better!
