- This video takes a deep dive into the story of Clash Royale's Witch, taking a look at all of her balance changes, how she performed in certain metas, and the ups and downs of this card.
This man is literally creating clash Royale documentaries. Who knows, you might even be as big as the big guys such as brad or oj someday
True
Hopefully, this is the only interesting cr content
i think you will be right, he will definitely be big
he got like 20k subs since i subbed from 17k to 37k
I hope so he’s a great youtuber!
only 30 subs?? wtf. this is the video you would expect to see from somebody with 20k-500k. please do one about the royale giant
edit: i know nobody cares but this is my first comment with 1k likes after being on youtube for 8 years on like 4 accounts
All gotta start somewhere popularity doesn’t matter
2.12k subs now wow he grew really fast in 2 weeks
No but like fr tho it seems something an og youtuber which is famous would do
He'll get there. Been following a God Of War RUclipsr, ExtremeGameplays, since he was 800 subs. Now 12k bordering on 13k in less than 4 months, with huge respect from major Tubers and members of the community. But I think a come up like that is nigh impossible in the current CRL climate with just how many people make dedicated content on this game, in comparison to GOW. But it might happen, I have faith in him from the 3 wonderful videos he's made so far, and the response otherwise from sub count ain't bad either.
3k now
I’ve retired from CR for over 2 years, from the 4-digit ladder; but I thank you for such content and it brought me back to the old times, even though I wouldn’t think of re-downloading it again.
If you watching videos about clash on RUclips I 100% guarantee you contemplate re downloading all the time
@@puzzykilla6947 he plays a game and gets destroyed and deletes it again
@@Uncharted8907 Actually not quite, I made it to top 10k 3 months before retiring, plus 3 times 11-win GC (no GC 12-win overall, sadly), 4 x CC 12-wins; also made it to 6600 (Royal Champion then) before the entire LLeague got to 5k from 4k.
I was destroyed a lot before you could even know but the reason I deleted CR was that it became stale for way too long, even before CW2. If you ever had the chance to look at CR during 2019-2020, you'll see why it sucked back then, especially for someone sitting on an account with around 30 maxed cards or so (having played since the global release).
Now I'm spending most of my time going against top 2k ladder in Clash of Clans instead.
@@puzzykilla6947 ...nah, it's been over 2 years, I also gave my account away and Clash of Clans has always been taking most of my times. I'd still be watching over CR's game states and updates at times thou.
@@thienngthe116 well damn
Love your content about balance changes! May I suggest to research a balance changes about Royal Giant?
I'll definitely get to him at some point but I already started one for a different card!
@@GratzClash bet my soul it's e barbs
@@PansyPops no it'll be barb barrel
@@pranavborse91 obviously exce, they have similar histories
@@pranavborse91 The new vid just dropped and your right
I was shocked when i saw the views and subs i thought it was an entirely big youtuber. Hope u soon reach that height. Amazing video
Love the support
Commenting to remind that he indeed went big
He Did indeef
If you keep up this quality of videos you're sure to grow. It is quite amazing how the first video on your channel already had thousands of views, but considering the quality, it is not surprising.
Entertaining video. Good luck with your channel
100%, great quality and very entertaining. Clear audio and good video transitions. I was expecting at least 200k subs before I looked due to audio, video, and content quality. You'll definitely get there soon. *subscribes*
I've been waiting for this type of content for a long time, thank you for making it a reality
I remember playing Witch back in 2016 because she was my favorite, I quitted the game in 2017 due to a Mega Knight,
Hearing that there was Meta revolving around Witch made me upset I wasn’t there to witness it!
She's my favorite card and just now I am told she's low tier trash with a full on documentary about it💀
I m like arena 9 and i use her in every single match she is really good there
3:56 Think of witch and skarmy interaction, she could stand there without attacking since skeletons get one shotted and die before she could hit
Actually an interesting rework would be to reduce her attack range noticeably but buff other aspects. That way she won't stay hiding behind the tower spawning skeletons until you throw spells at her, but in exchange she could survive the fireball log combo
Never did I expect someone to make videos on Clash Royale in a documentary style. And wow, for a first video this is well thought out and put together. As someone who has grew up with the gane and experienced all of these changes, it is surreal to go back and see them again.
should they just increase hp by 10% ._.
An actual good balace change for the Wizard would be to make it attack .1 second faster and reduce its damage to 267 from 289. It'll get more value because it always seems to miss that last hit.
Increase*.
@@edipedipbulmazyou didn't read the comment right
@@alchmage3926 i did
Honestly, this one really surprised me. As the witch always has been one of my top go to cards for all of my decks just like the Valkyrie and the musketeer. To the point where I considered the witch to be one of the best cards in the entire game period. I'd always use her and she would often be my win con or most valued counter unit so I'm baffled by the fact that she's regarded as this bad.
Agreed
I’ve watched every video on this channel multiple times and was shocked to see this show up on my recommended as one year old today. You have done a great job at making some of the best videos over the past year, keep up the great work.
16:50 that midladder intro is soooo accurate. Definitely my fav part of the video for some reason 😅 (no im not a midladder menace. I use pekka and ramrider)
Very good video! I couldn’t believe the views when I looked at them
Thank you so much! I'm new to RUclips so I don't expect to be getting many views, but I'm hoping over time I will get some attention once I have a few more videos up.
@@GratzClash good luck i hope you get more subscribers
@@GratzClash nice vid
You’re the very first comment on this guys channel
Love the fact that you actually went and made a high quality discussion video about CR, something that doesn't really have these sorts of content genres...super interesting watch!
This is the first time ive subscribed to a youtuber after only watching one ofr their videos, but you definitely deserve it. Keep this up and youre definitely going to grow.
such insanely well produced content, love it, keep it up man!
Great CR document, please do more of these videos ☺️
i remember my old witch deck, she was op back then
I used to play this game a lot and get so mad at it as a kid, trying to slowly get back into it now and these help as a refresher and a catch up tool, cheers for that.
Haha, this videos was absolutely amazing!!!! Very entertaining and well edited!! You earned my sub and If you stay consistent I know you’ll blow up!!!
This is such a well edited and entertaining video for someone with such little followers u deserve way more
dude this video is very well made, you came out of nowhere, keep makin quality vids like this and youll blow up in no time
Im glad I found your channel. I love the witch and have been using it throughout the years.
Witch has been my most consistently used card. I've had many decks that synergize with her, but ever since I started playing in 2016 she had a spot in my deck.
I stopped playing in 2020 cus reasons, so I can't say how good she is nowadays, but back in the day it took a lot to make her viable, but she'd absolutely carry her weight
Same here. She was a great reactionary card that could also push if you lead with a giant. I used skeleton giant for the flavor.
@@charliemallonee2792 Bless
I actually used the clone spell a lot with her, 2x the skeletons means that you basically have your own skarmy on your side. The rest of my deck was set up to play when I inevitably encountered the log.
Such a great video. Keep making awesome videos like this!
One of the best CR RUclipsrs I’ve seen, keep up the good work 👍
This is such unique content i never thought a clash royale documentary type style could be so could be so good and the minecraft music hits different
the witch is and still will be my best card, she is one of the best defence if played correctly
made my way up to 5.5k in 2019 but stop my friends went on their own way
Honestly, I feel that sometimes they're too afraid to change elixir values.
I see two interesting "buff" paths for her. You could let her be countered by spells, since her kit seems good to be tuned to counter troops, with the constant spawning of skeletons serving as distraction, and reduce her cost. Which lowers your commitment when playing her, allows you to have her up more reliably against counterpush situations, after you've spent significant elixir on your push, and also enables her to possibly outcycle her answers. Sure a fireball + 2-cost could kill her, or a lightning as it is commonly used nowadays, but not only it might not be worth the elixir trade, the lower commitment wouldn't require your deck to really "play for her", possibly allowing her to be played as a sacrifice in some situations, or just in what would be a worse positioning overall by today's standards. There are a lot of cards that can escape a countering spell if you can make sure your opponent cannot hit both the card and the tower, simply by making the trade not worth it anymore.
That being said, as much as it seems great mechanical and balance-wise, I personally would not enjoy this path because of two factors that play very big roles into the Witch's design, in my opinion:
-First, she would end up being even closer to a walking graveyard, altough that could be worked on afterwards, and I believe it would be possible to find a good spot for her;
-And last, but much more important, the decrease in power she'd have to face even with just a single less elixir cost would be severely detrimental to her identity. They just wouldn't be able to keep her powerful necromancer fantasy at less than 5 elixir, unless she was insanely broken, or remade into a legendary card with a very unique addition to her hit, like still being able to function for some seconds after death in some special way or something, and as much as I'd really love if Supercell were to try these kinds of things out, and it would even keep her consistent with the rarity of the other witches, I highly doubt they'd ever do something like that.
Now, after all that talk about elixir cost, power fantasy and everything, there comes the second path, which is... well, the exact opposite, and the one I think would fit well not only with the balancing of the game, but also with the fantasy that I believe both Supercell and the fanbase have of her. Basically increase her cost and fortify her as a whole, as of right now I don't feel like her mechanics don't work, she just never gets a chance to use them, because not only she's countered by some AoE cards that can easily deal with her and the skeletons at the same time, but mostly she's barely ever alive to even have a chance, really. Every single small spell takes away all her skeletons and makes her vulnerable, while the others just straight up kill her.
Only issue is that some changes could obviously make a 6 or higher cost Witch an absolute menace in mid latter, but I'd argue she already has enough counters in there to hold her back, such as valkyrie or mega knight, both of which are VERY common in there.
In my opinion, I just think that having her at 5 cost really doesn't work for her, as it neither allows her to live her fantasy to the fullest without being too strong for her cost, nor let's the player have any versatility with her playstyle, as it's always too big of a commitment that rarely pays off by various reasons. Not only her elixir cost alone is high enough that you can't really cycle well with her, but she also demands other cards to play around her. Even when playing against counters where she gets to defend without being touched, her solo counterpush barely needs to be addressed, and that just puts a bit more of an "elixir tax" that you gotta pay everytime you play her, only for her to be one-shot by a big spell or rendered almost useless by anything that can deal either with her skeletons or herself, if not both.
So my conclusion is that, with the way she is nowadays, you can never really find the right spot for her at 5 elixir, because you just can't properly address the ammount of commitment she requires; I believe they'd have to either aknowledge this commitment, or try to somehow make her more versatile, be it with different buff approaches or a creative rework. And honestly, I like her concept a lot, and I really tried to make her work when I was still a newbie, so I'd be down for either solution, or even a mixture of both of them, falling somewhere in the middle.
I read the whole thing and liked the idea but i think if they make her 6 elixer they shall increase splash dmg area and skeleton spawn speed and hp and if 7 elixer all buffs which i mentioned in 6 + attack speed and dmg buff
great vid - you earned yourself a spot as my supported cc with this and others - really good quality and engaging info
I was so excited when I saw that I didn’t finish this video, I love your content even tho I don’t play cr since years and I’m not even planning to do it again one day
I really needed this...I'm using Witch from the start as my hog rider companion ....and I love this combination..it my main deck anyways.
Love this Video❤❤
This guy deserves way more subs, if this channel existed for longer, it would EASILY cross a million subs
Also thanks for explaining that whole "slash royale" thing, I was playing during the event but had no idea why it was happening lol. My history of playing the game was really spotty around that time, it was like I had a love-hate relationship with it.
wow finally a good quality cr ytber with this style, keep it up!
i think that the witch is a very good card. i dont understand why people prefer the wizard over her when the wizard dies from a fireball and doesnt spawn skellys. i use her as my main defending troop along w the valk and the does splash damage and distracts so well mega knights, princes and any mele ground troop in general. i think that her skeleton spawning mechanic is really unique and people should use her more she is very good.
I have an 80% winrate whit her in my deck from unlocking her to arena 11 where I am rn
Your vids are awesome dude. Some of the best CR content on youtube!
Never knew I would be interested in this. Great video!
The problem with midladder is whatever you do to Witch, it will still be in there. Because people aren’t fully maxed and keep playing the same decks they always use. They can’t swap cards too much, especially when the other witches are legendaries.
They should really put a cap on card levels in midladder… but not having one is also THE reason they make so much money.
Balance changes will still have _some_ effects though, because some people have more maxed cards and will happily switch to a currently broken deck. Pair that with RUclipsrs sharing meta decks and some people will follow the top ladder meta. Sometimes accepting to play non-maxed cards for the sake of playing that deck… and eventually getting frustrated by losing with their skillful underleveled deck against a carefully crafted MATCHMAKING to a no skill overleveled midladder menace deck. Looking at you, algorithm! The only reasonable things people would then do are:
- Go back to a midladder menace deck themselves
- Quit the game
- Pay
Getting actually good was never an option!
Or you can play party. Just saying.
@@user-cx9nc4pj8w : Which also has crap deck issues. Which doesn’t normalize levels so people will still be overleveled. Which also doesn’t give out trophies for trophy road rewards. Which doesn’t give out any extra gold or crowns during Rush events. Yeah, no.
Ive been playing witch for years. Shes has been in my deck more than any other card. In higher tiers since she was never there people sometimes didnt know how to handle her. In midladder shes just a pain. Honestly she really only needs that health buff, too squishy for her price.
You over delivered in quality with this vid despite only having 1.5k subs. And judging from other comments, you barely even had a hundred when you uploaded this.
Your vid's pacing is just right making me engaged throughout the video. You are talented in this and I'm hoping you the best.
Looking forward to seeing more content from you very good video and layout. love it
Excelent video about that witch!! Love CR
I remember downloading the game the day it became globally released and getting the Witch as my first ever epic card. She has a special place for me because she was my most used card for a whole year. My friend got Skarmy as his first epic, so I always felt superior to him when I could destroy it so easily with my Witch. He also eventually got Witch (obviously) but I was at a much higher level so I still felt that superiority lol. It's sad to see how poorly it performs at high competitive levels and isn't used at all. I've not played the game for years and missed the time when she was at her peak, but I still used her a lot and was one of my favorite cards.
The october 2019 meta will always be in our nightmares
Great video, I really remember that buffed witch and I played with her!
I remember those times when I first joined, witch spawned 3 skeletons behind her, in front of her, she shot her magic ball thingy super fast and they didn’t splash, she was unbelievably overpowered, and so on. She changed and changed and changed until she is where she is now. Truly everything about her has changed
That midladder compilation was peak 😂
Damn this is really high quality, wouldn't expect you to have only a few thousands subs
Its insane how you now have almost 100K subs. I saw this video when it it was releast and thought you are a big youtuber but then saw your channel and see that you have only one video uploaded and I instantly thought to myself that you have potential and you will be a big clash royale creator. Keep up in what you are doing 👍
Do barb barrel history next please! Also you're underrated
Witch was my favorite card back in 2016-2017. I would play it on the bottom corner and it would defend accordingly or help in a push. Ditched it after the health nerf. Really need something from supercell for this card 😔
Yess i've been looking for content like that on clash for sooo long!
I like your content quality man, keep it up 🤙🏼
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK ON THE WITCH! She's been my #1 card for the past five years. I can't disagree with anything you've said. She is definitely the underdog. Great documentary! SUPERCELL's new season has night witch when you open the app. Lol thanks again *SUBED*
Witch needs a range buff, or a health buff. Her ability to zone the hell outta melee troops is good. Her and Night Witch were annoying, but they deserve better
I loved the big rework honestly, I wished they didn’t massively nerf it. But she thankfully made it from that time better than BEFORE the rework lol. I hated death spawn, it just felt awful to fight
You should do this to all cards ngl, love the video btw
Nice editing man really enjoyed the video
The best buff i can think is probably left her with enough health to survive Fireball and Zap but no to survive Fireball and Log and probably a 6 second skeleton spawn.
I feel like it is better to go the opposite route with her. Bringing her more in line with the Magic Archer and Ice Wizard. Making her a Fireball-Bait card, along with a decrease to 4 Elixir. While a Fireball would outright destroy her, using Fireball on her would be a dilemma as it could enable other similar cards to be used unharmed.
Ur videos are so good man straight up bangers!!
Man i love this kind of videos, pls keep going with this project, new sub ❤️
Witch has been in my deck since day 1 and she still is a very important part, yes she gets countered but still the most prized card for me.
same 😀
I think the best way to buff the witch without it being a midladder nightmare would be to increase her skeleton spawn speed by 1 second, and maybe increase her health to make her fireball-zap resistant? The first one I think would be a definitely, the second maybe not.
Love this video man , keep doing ths good work
Very well put together video my bro
Witch is the best card for me
Nice video :D
Witch is absolute cancer ong
1:03 why havent i been touched for over a year now 😭
dude your editing is so good, how do you only have 5k subs???? you deserve a lot better, keep going my man!
Amazing video, shared it with my friend who puts witch in every deck and thinks it's the best card in existence.
Just increase the amount of health she gets per upgrade. Having it so that perhaps a level 7 witch can survive a fireball of equivalent level, and at level 12 a fireball and zap of the same.
I mean that would help over leveling more than it already needs to and would break with all the troops leveling system
Make her 4 elixir, give her the mother witch treatment and make her die to fireball. Then rework her so that every time she hits a troop with her blast 2-3 skeletons spawn. She's not a walking spawner, she's something that is great for defense.
She'd be great for counter pushing and would be a massive threat while also not being something that breaks meta.
She has always been my favorite card
Samee
Im soo sad to see her be this low in the meta
I hope they buff her😔
This is the best cr vid i' ve seen in a while
I think the Witch should cost 4 elixir and generate 3 skeletons around her instead of 4, and maybe decrease his hitpoints a bit so that mini pekka could one-shot her.
🙄say straight away you want to kill her.
I've almost always had the witch on my team, even when she was dog water, even when she was op the meta buster. She just fits such a great role in my team, which has generally struggled with swarms of air units.
Same lmao she’s always been a fun character to play and see
I left the game about a year ago at this point, but these videos are still so interesting!
Great video man, surprised you don’t have more subs
Witch always been op. If you had no splash, you not winning
I am already used how youtube chanels work, the older they are, the better content and higher quality they have.
Well not this guy....he was born str8 intro space.
Slapped that subscribe button , i love those kinds of videous, especially Clash Royale.
This was well put
1k SUBS WTF?!?! THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS ARE MY FAVORITE BRO HOPE YOU GET POPULAR IN THE FUTURE!!!
And thus a new content creator legend was born
Imma start leaving likes on your videos. I had no idea your chanel only had a bit over 100k subs. This feels like a 400k sub channel easily in the quick making
Love your Content, Hope you blow up one day and become well known on RUclips as a RUclipsr
Love the video idea, keep up the good work)
You really come here, two weeks ago, and post this absolutely banger of a 20 minute essay from scratch with no other evidence of you existing before that, and expect me to subscribe?
Bro you got me in the first 30 seconds.
Didn’t expect to watch the entirety of this when I klicked that but you had me hooked till the end. Wish you much success
I just found out something horrible I hope it’s not true
Thx u for speaking about my favorite card, I started CR directly at the release of the game and I ALWAYS played witch in my all deck even when she was bad I just love too much this card and I still will play the witch
And for speaking what she need, I think the main problem is dying to fire ball + zap only just this buff could make her better, honestly actually is the only thing that make me sad about her
I love your videos keep going man you can do it
i can see you become one day the best cr yt u earn my sub
Found your channel today!! Already watched 5 of your videos!..you got w new sub
such a great video man, hope you do the same for other carrds like Royal Giant, E golem, Night witch, E barbs etc...
