Before you invest your resources into this deck, please read this first. Coming from a 6k+ and 18 wins player, this deck is not a good deck on ladder. 70% of the decks have a sort of tank in their deck, with royal giant growing in to popularity, and giant miner as well, this deck is pretty much going down to drain. You don't even need a tank to counter xbow 2.9, me myself is a miner poison player and i almost always get poison value vs xbow 2.9. Spell is also a great counter to xbow and many minitanks in the game, not necessary have to be giant/royal giant. Also, xbow is 1 of those deck that the community hate too much for it to receive a buff,so if you're using it, dont expect it to get buff any time soon, even if it does, it won't be a huge buff. If you're talking about F2P option, it's not like the old days where the only viable deck is 2.9 xbow and 2.6 hog anymore. With the trade system implemented last year, you can even have a legendary as your win condition. I personally recommend miner poison for f2p to invest in, as miner poison is 1 of the safest , most stable, and arguably 1 of the strongest deck in the game, or of all time. Don't get me wrong, i still think that this is a viable deck, but it's not a good deck anymore from ladder, and also in the future, as buffing xbow or tesla directly will gives a lot of noise to the community, the community hates xbow too much for it to receive a buff. It's also a fairly high skill decks that probably needs a couple hundreds of game to play it properly. I've seen alot of players invested into this deck due to the it highly labelled as the 1 of the 2 only f2p option, and highly promoted by pro players. Before you investing into this deck, please consider all of these.
Well said. If one is more comfortable with xbow, then icebow is a better option because it beats tanks. However it requires a requisite mortar cycle skill to know when to rkt and when not to better. I agree miner poison is the safest and strongest option for F2P. I myself play siege on ladder but icebow is the only consistent one i can get wins with. 2.9 xbow struggles a lot against rg lightning and rg cycle.
yeah, personally i only have this and mortar cycle maxed out. that bring said, every deck has a learning curve, and this one is just a bit higher than most.
Good gameplays! The thing i love with 2.9 is that (I think) you cannot get salty if u lose because one missplay is the only thing that can make you lose
Legendaray, do you think mortar cycle or xbow cycle is the best for puching trophees? I would like to hear you're opinion. I play now with mortar cycle but my friend xbow.
Sorry I'm not Legendaray but I think mortar got more diversity with combos (like hog rider and miner) so it's maybe better at the first time but anyway classic x-bow is so op that both are worth it .
Thanks legendaray! I play lvl 10 2.9 xbow deck and my max is 5300. I stopped oversupporting my tesla in 1x elixir and Ive been getting more wins! Also do you have any tips when facing players that have 2 or 3 higher levels than you when playing xbow? Thanks again!
Just a tip get a face cam I really think it would make the video seem more connected with your reactions. The gameplay is amazing keep up the good work!
Hey man Im pretty much the same as you, only have maxed out xbow and mortar so far....around 6k struggling lol. Which mortar deck works the best for ladder, in your opinion?
Lol same I'm 6k+ with xbow. Wheb he used mortar I used mortar cycle then I moved to xbow and then he moved to xbow it's funny. We play same decks. I even went to his clan to challenge him back when he played mortar and almost beat him. He even said u couldve won but I needed up once.
For golem you have to kite the support with an ice golem then kill it. Use a tesla to then pull the golem away from the tower and if your troops are still alive that'll help. Easy one, if he places his golem first play drop an xbow on the opposite side and he won't have enough elixir to defend it.
Ryan Williams yeah I do that but they end up building a big push on the opposite lane which I defend. If I don’t take the tower before double elixir it’s a wrap. Everytime I put the xbow down they drop their golem.
I am trying to learn 2.9 xbow from golem. It is very hard. I have spent hours in free turnaments trying to get good at it, but going 4.3 to 2.9 is to far in one run. I made a beatdown deck using many cards from 2.9 and I am getting better and better. I feel it is a good advice for people trying to learn oposite decks.
I play with thys deck and I love thys, abought when I get 6k gemplay is eazy but when you are on 5k in arena there you can play with Royal Giant Rocket mirror in one deck or pekka Rocket bowler exe. X-bow 2.9 is deck which can realy dominate on every mech when you now every positions but you can very easy loss when you do stupid miss click.
I'm now in a dilemma whether to use 3.0 mortar cycle or use 2.9 x-bow cycle. I've been using mortar cycle from its best season, but now I have a really tough time. It is always hard to get one shot on the tower, or sometimes I put all the efforts to get the tower in spell cycle range, in the end, my tower crashed due to opponent's heavy push. I'm now 5500, and got 4 cards maxed in mortar cycle. Overwhemed as I am, don't know whether to keep going on mortar cycle or not.
Love watching your xbow plays! I'm a xbow player but I use the knight instead of ice golem. That helps me most of the time. Also it gets pretty hard getting wins on ladder due to rising popularity of rg, giant witch/sparky, miner poison, beatdowns etc. Any suggestions please?
Legendaray don’t even try to boast myself. You’re really good to. I like to play really aggressive but never try to extent. Even against giants and golem decks. Rather face golem than Giant lol
@@Legendaray The prince version 100% does hard counter xbow , but after the x now buff the valk version struggles (since you have to commit poison, log, and a valk/miner (10 elixer ish) to consistently counter the 6 elixer xbow ), you slowly loose your elixer advantage.) The miner player definitely has the advantage at the start, but it is extremely hard for them to keep up defensively due to them slowly losing elixer. The inferno tower does really well against the xbow, but it is almost impossible to make it connect to the xbow more than once, since they can prediction block it. B-rad (from tribe gaming) gets really frustrated when he plays against x-bow with the valk version, but he is really happy when he's using the prince. Overall, it is a long and hard matchup for both players (3.0 miner poison valk and 2.9 xbow).
@@msx47_ Have you seen him play recently though? He streams twice a week. If you haven't seen him recently, miner 3.0 used to completely hard counter xbow (by the way I'm talking about the valk version)
I like how you admit what you need to work on instead of making excuses
This channel is the best I have ever discovered! My favourite deck and so many good tips. Amazing!

Can you give your CR friend link, would love to learn some miner poison tricks.
Ice bow is godly, never was a fan of 2.9 personally 🙏
Love you to see that finally you switched back to X bow after many months
Yep
When I played Tesla, I flung it really hard to place in the right tile especially with a phone
Yeah Tesla is hard to place

Thanks!
Honestly, good vid I really love xbow on ladder and I think u should do more on ladder it teaches me a lot
Thanks man! Glad you learned from the video
Good gameplays!
The thing i love with 2.9 is that (I think) you cannot get salty if u lose because one missplay is the only thing that can make you lose
Haha yeah, but you still get salty haha
@@Legendaray
Sure lol one missplay is fast arrived 😅
More Xbow 2.9 gameplay please!
of course!
love your videos! keep it up!
thank you!
Thanks for making this, I have always wanted you to make a 2.9 Xbox cycle deck video
No problem man!

hoped to see more 2.9 videos in future
Thank you!
Lol Jay TV. Hahahah nice game Jay

Wooooooooooooooo bout time legendary!!
Haha yeah
@@Legendaray I miss ur gameplay! Your a boss man :D keep it up!
I am 30 xbows away from maxing 2.9.. I hope to see more 2.9 videos from you so I can prepare myself haha
Of course! Good luck!
What do you think of changing the ice golem by the knight and the fireball by the rocket?
It would be a lot slower, but I think it could work!
Your tesla placement was good in that second match ,the pekka blocked the battle ram causing it to go straight to your tower
Xbow é foda , assistindo do Brasil aki !
Thanks legendaray! I play lvl 10 2.9 xbow deck and my max is 5300. I stopped oversupporting my tesla in 1x elixir and Ive been getting more wins! Also do you have any tips when facing players that have 2 or 3 higher levels than you when playing xbow? Thanks again!

@@rahman077 sorry, i'm already in a clan.
I’m having a lot of issues with golem decks and giant sparky. Do you have any tips or replays?
hopefully in upcoming episodes. but giant sparky you try to play super defensive, while against golem you try to get most your damage in single elixir
For golem you have to kite the support with an ice golem then kill it. Use a tesla to then pull the golem away from the tower and if your troops are still alive that'll help. Easy one, if he places his golem first play drop an xbow on the opposite side and he won't have enough elixir to defend it.

Is it okay to use fire spirits instead
yes!
Best video
How about ice bow nado with fireball or tornado better?
icebow is easier to get into
How did you find the pentagram chart for that deck? And does show it for others? I think its really cool!
i made it myself haha, and ill do it for every deck showcase from now on!

1st match
Opponent: Goodgame Goodgame Goodgame
Legendary: wins
Eddie Enderman1 he said good game because he probably is aware of how fast 2.9 Xbow can cycle back to archers to counter graveyard.
Lol
As a graveyard player..it is very hard to get damage when against 2.9..I also say gg beforehand
Could this deck be played with lv 12 ice golem?
Probably, but it’s be weak at killing bats and skeletons
I play with thys deck and I love thys, abought when I get 6k gemplay is eazy but when you are on 5k in arena there you can play with Royal Giant Rocket mirror in one deck or pekka Rocket bowler exe.

up to you! personally, i like both decks, but x-bow also isnt in the greatest spot either.
Do you like mortar bait with wall braekers
not sure there is a wallbreakers variation, can you tell me what it is?
It has wall breakers instead of a bait card l think it is the worst variation
Is this deck good in this meta, in grand challenge
not too much at the moment, unfortunately, but still viable with a super high skill cap
Dang, I thought I would be in the video :( gg tho
Yea I don’t record many of my matches
F
Maxed motor.. now maxing xbow deck. Good one for xbow players.
Haha yeah
hey man.. i also play xbow 2.9 and i am at top 3k at the moment, nice vid!
wow nice man!

What do you think the new card is going to be? My guess is a card that pulls you towards him.
Same!
@legenday how can I friend you to watch you play live match
I guess you can look at his clan on stats royale or api and then look at his id here
But how
I really wish I had the levels for the deck, it is easy and fun to use :) Great Gameplay though :)
Easy? Lol

mortar decks pls

Not as good as ice bow, but sick deck, its weekness are tanks.
