How Royal Giant Ruined Clash Royale

The Royal Giant has been a very polarizing card in Clash Royale history and has had many problems that go far beyond balancing issues, which has caused Supercell to make drastic overhauls to different aspects of the game. Expecting a nerf, this video was postponed, but with the developments of evolutions and other shifts in the meta, it's unlikely that will happen! Here's the entire crazy history of this once mid-ladder menace!

Music List:
Baroque II - RuneScape 3
Taswell - C418
Ruin Tower (Dead Sea) - Chrono Chross
Alpine Incline (Ground) - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Northern Kremispheres - Donkey Kong Country 3
Tarir, the Forgotten City - Guild Wars 2
Dreiton - C418
Flake - C418
Forest - The Last Guardian

    People complain about me while there's this tumor waddling around midladder.
  • Supercell also has an in game tip which says: “All cards are created balanced. Even Royal Giant” 😅
  • @fbspeedersbg6667
    IMO that's probably their most perfect balancing of a card, making it decent in top ladder, without being menacing in mid ladder, it luckily escaped the faith of the ebarbs and the wizard

    I'd like to see the clone spell history, I think it will be interesting to see how over the years it came to now

    The problem was the very high punishement cost of misplacing/mistiming a building. If you failes, you may have wasted up to 5 elixir for nothing. So while it was not a problem for competitive players, it certainly ruined the day of lower arena players. This change was perfect , as it not only fixed the timing problem, it also made connections with it decent enough to warrant a new playstyle at higher levels.

    Royal giant is the mid ladder menace that I’ve been waiting for you to cover!
  • During RG hell, I remember being carried so hard by the royal giant to the point that I ended up loving the card more than hating it. It's so simple but so fun to use anyway.
  • @tre4429
    I think a history of the skeletons would be a nice video. Considering the skeletons are included in about seven cards I think it would be funny going over how overly easy or how overly complicated it was to balance them
  • @chazzerine7650
    Seems as though, overall, this card has gotten a happy ending. One rework turned it from a polarising card that was completely useless in competitive but overpowered in ladder into a perfectly balanced, healthy card that saw good use in both competitive and midladder without being overbearing in either.

    Still remember the first time Royal Giant got buffed, he made me reach legendary arena. Always top 5 favorite for me
  • @vortex-il9ck
    This video really opened my eyes to the fact miner needs a nerf
  • @ellipse147
    One of the best things of this channel is that he actually lists the music he used in order in the description
  • @casual_racist
    To be honest the truth is there is one card that is objectively broken as hell with it having 0 counters and only way to beat it was to use it. Especially these days this card is becoming so meta that it can almost be considered mandatory and that card is the infamous Credit card

  • @TheDLektrik
    this dude puts so much love into these videos, they are SO informative to the point I watched one or two and I want to play this game that I stopped playing years ago, I watched 1/2 videos so far after I got recommended the mega knight video yesterday but I fully plan to watch them all, great work Gratz!
  • @LeanXTriforcer
    Even though I've stopped playing CR, these videos are fun to watch and look back on.
  • @user-vn1rp6xv6m
    Royale giant outranging every building is just something else
  • @HeisenbergFam
    Clash Royale is truly a "perfectly balanced game with no exploits"
  • @Zyber88
    Yo Gratz, I love how quickly you uploaded this time! Keep up the good work
