The mortar has had a controversial history like the xbow, but has been changed over the years to be less annoying yet remain fair. What makes them so different though? This video covers the entire history, from early days, to balance changes, through highs and lows, bugs, and its evolution.

    Mortar is essentially X-bow but with nuance as it requires some thinking to use
  • @SHARKNADO_2006
    Mortar will forever stay a classic card in the hearts of clash players, love it or hate it.
  • @andro_king
    As a mortar player: This card is so fun. I hope they keep it viable but niche for a while. Genuinely don't think I've played a more fun and offense oriented building before, plus it's great as I'm F2P
  • As a Mortar player myself, I’ve loved that building throughout the years. The fact that it has evolution is excellent as I use it in my main deck
  • @aarong3201
    Mortar was humbled, and started living a humble card life. Mad respect

    Will you consider making a video on the Sparky? As someone who played in 2016-2018 and hasn't touched the game since, I'm curious to see how my favourite card has turned out, and I've seen gameplay of it in many of your videos so I'm wondering if there's any crazy history about it too! Great video as always btw :)

    i was just looking for a video of you to rewatch while having dinner! this is an amazing timing!

    Love the video! I main mortar 3.0(the og mortar rocket deck with valk instead of knight) and this video was so fun to watch and learn the history of my main.

    I've played mortar since day 1. It may have high win rates, but with such low usage, it shouldn't be nerfed. Instead nerf overused cards to get players to branch out
  • @alexpinguin5978
    This gives me so much nostalgia , thank you for this video!
  • My main deck revolves around it and I always loved it, never hated it, mortar is in my clash Royale journey history. So cool to know the history of the decks because I was a 2016-2017 player and 2020-currently good work man 😊

    When does clone spell history come? There will be even more things to say about it like little prince glitch

    Always remember evolutions solely exists to make either bad cards good, or balanced cards even better. Mortar is actually by far one of the most balanced of all the current evolutions in the game (of course as of this comment since there will be more in the future). In fact, the mortar evolution is actually my first evolution card not because I’m interested in these siege decks you see these days, but the fact the goblin it spawns makes it a great stall support card for the deck I use. The ability to chip off fireballies after the shot hits them followed by something like a log or zap makes the mortar evolution absolutely great in my opinion at least. The current stats is fine as it is, especially since earthquake also exists too

    What a banger video. I run this deck as one of my war decks: Evo Mortar, SB, SK, Skarmy, MH, Archers, Wizard, and Log. It's been a great deck for me, especially considering the Evo Archers in the Double Evo Challenge.
