How Elite Barbarians Ruined Clash Royale

Published 2023-04-06
Elite Barbarians are pretty average today, and could not be considered one of the most hated cards in this game. Although they have average use and win rates in both ladder and the competitive scene today, this was certainly not the case for the majority of their lifespan. This is their story.

Check out Honkai Impact 3rd new update here: bit.ly/3Ks7QQt

You forgot to mention the nice feeling when you deploy a golem behind King's tower and 0.1 seconds later you see the enemy throwing E-barbs with rage on the opposite side
-
Nowadays, every single deck has a fucking evolved firecracker in it.
-
I don't even play Clash Royale, I just like seeing this guy go in-depth on units and game mechanics/history for half an hour
-
It’s sad, watching these amazing videos makes me want to play Clash Royale, then I remember the game just got ruined
-
i remember the 19% health buff i looked at it and thought how mad strong the card would be
-
Seeing the history of the elixir golem or the history of golem beatdown would be pretty cool
-
Oh man, the memories. It was this card which made me quit for years. It was just too frustrating and unrewarding how they could simply be lazily put there and win the game. Completely agree with your summary of how this was the worst time for any (casual) play in the entire history. Great video!!
-
My god, I remember when there where three fire spirits instead of One, that E-barb and fire spirits push was UNSTOPABBLE
-
I remember when e-barb was everywhere. I just started playing bowler graveyard as the bowler was a complete counter to them and was a great counter push
-
Watching Gratz's first sponsor is like watching your baby take their first steps.

"Removing a card is something Clash Royale would NEVER do" Heal Spell: Allow me to introduce myself
-
Gratz: talking about how overpowered e-barbs were/are meanwhile the background, showing a sparky absolutely demolish the e-barbs.
-
I think the balance changes that were done to address the Three Musketeers in 2018 (buffing their counters, nerfing their synergies, introducing new cards that counter them) affected Elite Barbarians quite negatively as well, which was why they dropped so much during that time.
-
Oh man, can you imagine how even MORE busted Ebarbs Rage would've been had Rage done damage like it does now? Takes out swarmies and then your tower lol
-
I’d love to see a History of Mortar video! This one was very great. As someone who didn’t play the game back then it’s very interesting seeing how different and broken Ebarbs used to be.
-
I think a history of the Three Musketeers would be fun. The only card whose price didn't increase when Mirrored (at a time). It may need to be complemented with the Musketeer but it would be nice.
-
I remember perfectly how broken they were. People started running e-barbs and barbarians just to stop them
-
These documentaries of CR are awesome man, they're so fun to binge watch! Thank you 🎉
-
I remember those days, I always played Giant + Witch, so those were pretty rough times. But eventually I started baiting the elite Barbarians by playing a witch behind a tower, naturally E barbs players would instantly play them on the other lane, then I would kite them to the Witch (to the skeletons to be precise) with my Giant.
