    to clarify: "ruled out" means stop asking for this we are tired of hearing about this
  • @SmubFinger
    Personally I really like the idea that the heal spell fermented from lack of use and eventually became the spirit, rather than it just being deleted and replaced
  • @KindaKaon
    Pretty crazy how year after they were worried about healing spells making the meta too defensive they finally realised that the best way to fix the heal spell was to make it an offensive card with a heal reward
  • @maaliomar2924
    This is the most interesting card ever , as not only was it insanely unique , its also the only one that got straight up deleted
  • @el-yago-pe
    That ending was...more emotional than expected
  • "The monk only reflected the heal spirit, but it was a spell inside" - mind blown and eyes teared up at the same time

    I do appreciate that this bottle of bliss caused alot of stress on the devs. They could've just decided to delete it or just ignore it to leave it to rot at the bottom of the barrel, but they didn't, they continuously reworked it all because of 1, well 3 issues in the 3 musketeers.

    That ending got my feels so much. I’m glad this card, unlike so many before it, unlocked the happy ending.
  • There is another thing that was created from the Heal Spell’s removal. The meme of spell spirits.
  • @Legurchin
    There's nothing like watching an in depth analysis of a feature from a game I don't play.
  • Holy shit I didn't expect to be so emotionally attached to this story. I'm so happy the Heal Spirit is in a good spot now
  • @DXL44
    I remember only learning that Heal was removed from the game when I redownloaded the game quite some time after unlocking it. Having no knowledge of the game's meta, I was really confused as to why so this video was a fun history lesson.

    i hate the "if a card used more than the log it will nerfed" mindset that they keep having
  • @muffinman3052
    It's great to see someone carve out a niche for themselves on youtube, I can't think of any other clash royale historians off the top of my head. Great production quality and a nice trip down memory lane as well haha
  • I feel like if the heal spell would only heal a specific amount of HP instantly (like 400) or instead costed 5-6 elixir then it would be more balanced. Reducing the effect time or range is also an option, But there is also the interesting alternative of it only effecting one troop and fully healing it. Specifically based on whatever troop it is, costing one more elixir than whatever card it is healing based on how it is used. Kind of like mirror but as a healing mechanic.
  • @Fungary_WeRN
    I think Heal changed for the better, from my perpective, considering that Heal Spirit is actually a versatile - uh... I guess... - cheap and adorable-looking card :)
  • @horridJ
    Little do those people know, if they were to remove a card, then people would still be mad 😂 Love the videos dude (:
  • @blakon1019
    As someone who hasn't kept up with the game, I was genuinely hyped by the plot twist of it being turned into the spirit. Awesome video man keep up the good work and keep catching Ws.
  • @ishmael6397
    Dude, your video essay style is exactly what I had always pictured should be something I do; Namely, picking out actual PROPER background music that fits the theme of the section you are discussing. I bet the BGM comes from childhood games too. Keep it up man.
