That irritated me deeply as well, but in his defence, he writes his scripts and researches as though he is a reader, so I'm not surprised at the additional evidence that he speaks like a reader as well.
The Knight’s whole thing is just that he’s the vanilla of Clash Royale. No gimmicks, a fair share of strengths and weaknesses, straightforward as possible, and even his Evo is simple to understand (just less damage when moving). He’s the paragon of simple cards and that will probably never change.
Knight has been out since April Fools back in 2016, and he’s still the most balanced card for the cost and stats even after getting an evolution. After the evolution has been toned down to the right amount, he’s still pretty good and versatile to this day. Aside from his evolution when it first came out before getting balanced, there’s honestly no reason to hate this card
I just find it so impossible to hate Knight. The catchphrase "Good stats for the cost" is just the best way to describe Knight. He's hard to kill, he does okay damage, and he's not a threat on his own but he can still dish out a bit of tower damage if nothing else.
Evo is now balanced compared to others , like snowball is shit, dart gob , gob giant , lumberjack , PEKKA are op , firecracker, Valkyrie are annoying , knight just tanks , like it's supposed to dol tho@@chip2508
man, ngl your voice is so soothing and it's one of the reasons I watch your videos,. not to mention the attention to detail when it comes to every single card explanation
great video man, i always find it impressive how your videos can be 30-50 minutes long while still blasting through information fast enough to not become boring but not so fast that you cant absorb anything also as like 8 people pointed out you mispronounced epitome, which is completely fair because its an uncommon word and it totally makes sense to read it as that. take it from someone who pronounced "crisp" like "ci-ripps" until they were 8, i forgot what point i was gonna make after saying that.
It would've been cool to talk about it's interactions with the dagger duchess a little more (maybe that's just a dagger duchess video), and I think that during her meta he was super prevalent to waste her daggers. Besides that, awesome video!
Knight is overshadowed when it comes to iconic recognisability compared to barbarian, but the knight is the kid who sat in the middle of the classroom and was always on it. No one can justify disliking this card.
Do you live in the USA? If so, why are you having dinner at 1:30? What do you eat after that, dinner 2? Do you work graveyard shift? Are you capping? What did you eat?
I live in Denmark and I had a pretty late dinner compared to usual since I was pretty busy today so yeah. That was a pretty good timing for him to upload a video lol
That is alright lol I know time zones can be pretty confusing since it could be morning for me but night for you for example. So I understand the confusion
Im proud to say that in the two years or so that I played CR not once did I ever search up what the meta was or what cards were good at the time. I made my deck and just stuck to it for every situation and it worked out great 😂
0:09 "Were the epitome of simple" I don’t know why but I love how he says 'ep-ih-tome' and not 'ep-it-oh-me' 😂 I'm gonna finish watching the whole video, obviously, I just wanted to point that out lol.
About the question if such a "simple" card should also be usable in high level gameplay, and I would say, no matter the game, yes. Knight may be a card which doesn't have a gimmick, but it has raw stats, and that's important for variety. Besides cards which only have raw good stats, you can have cards which have bad stats, but a really good gimmick, or a mix between these extremes. Combine a no-gimmick-raw-stats card with a -strong-gimmick-no-stats card and you can get a lot of variety out of few cards.
Video ideas: history of the Hunter Fisherman and Lumberjack. Also the knight’s icon change was like the executioner’s one. They were both so iconic and menacing before and now they just look goofy.
Good damage but not too damaging, tanky but not too tanky, cheap but fit this stats, Knight is the definition of a card that's fun to play but not annoying to deal
The simple cards make skill expression much more important. When you have units like the chef tower, rune giant and a lot of evos they make predicting card interactions really difficult making it way more random.
I would like to add fireball to this list. Minus the og setback of spells doing too much crown tower damage, I've always felt it's a solid bread and butter card at a reasonable cost. And given it doesn't completely trade with cards of equal value or occasionally lower at times. Think it's prolly the most balanced spell we have
which site were you looking at the stats from? if anyone knows can someone comment it also forgot to mention but a graveyard or golem video would be really nice
I wonder if Knight was kept strong for so long because they wanted to have it be something that new players felt good about boosting. Investing a lot into a card that you discover sucks is a bit frustrating
Hey man I was wondering. Well someday you will run out of cards to make videos of. So what if you made this type for brawl stars. For each brawler. Im sure people would love it.
My boy said “eh peh thome” so confidently in the first 10 seconds of the vid
That irritated me deeply as well, but in his defence, he writes his scripts and researches as though he is a reader, so I'm not surprised at the additional evidence that he speaks like a reader as well.
He probably did it so people would comment about it
It doesn't really matter. Epitome, epetome, I know what he means.
the ep pih tome of hyper bowl
For those who don’t know the correct pronunciation, it’s “Eh-pih-toh-mee”
His card icon nerf was the most devastating
it's a buff if anything else, the old one is basically him being drunk and now he is a proud knight
He's rizzing now
@@talfriedman1265Nah dude he either looks stoned or busted a nut
Clans : CROK MORT
@@talfriedman1265 that's the point, it was funny as hell
Naah he's really just gonna talk about a card that just stabs and walks for 45 minutes straight 😭😭
Bro you aint getting pinned 😂😂
Bro can even milk a male cow
ackstually that's an overhead swing, not a stab
ah hyug
Bro doesn’t even know what stabbing is 😭 😭

He dserves a -3% hp nerf tho can't lie.
What do you mean he's balanced@@colle3291
How I feel about hog but dog shit 12 year olds don’t realize megaknight doesn’t insta counter so they claim OP

Knight was out since before that lol he came in March when the game was released

Nah I'd argue that was the problem with the Evo, it's stats were too good for the cost.
@@user-ko7gk7wp5x that's the problem with most evos lol
39:00 He was so overused because of the Dagger Duchess, he was able to exhaust all of her daggers and leave her vulnerable.
Finally I can get a good knight's sleep🙏
A good knight's if you will. lol
knighty night
That's so true, I like to fall asleep to his videos
good knight
Say knight benjamin
Since Lumberjack got an evolution and since he is your favorite card you need to do a video about him.
Lmao
Fr, cant wait to spam rage in 2v2 ladder to keep ghost alive
He is probably waiting for the inevitable gutting of the card once its associated surge in sales stops
man, ngl your voice is so soothing and it's one of the reasons I watch your videos,. not to mention the attention to detail when it comes to every single card explanation
Agreed I watch reruns when my mind is busy and I’m trying to sleep
no literally, i fall asleep to these videos
Just got to 9000 trophies yesterday and I got to say that knight is one of the BEST cards in the game bro carried me
Wait, even I reached 9k yesterday. Congratulations to both of us I guess!
I'm so glad I stopped playing right as evolutions came in. Watching the chaos is much more enjoyable than being in the chaos.
a gratz video on my birthday? i couldn't ask for more.
My goat returns :)
6:15 Gratz always uses protection
why did bro say Epitome like that 💀💀 0:09
Was looking for someone talking about that
Had me searching up the British pronunciation to be sure I wasn't missing something
he's dutch and misspronounced it
He probably used chat gpt for his script
@@sbviper25-43that’s what I was thinking
Do miner next
The Knight is the icon of clash royale, he should always be good
great video man, i always find it impressive how your videos can be 30-50 minutes long while still blasting through information fast enough to not become boring but not so fast that you cant absorb anything
also as like 8 people pointed out you mispronounced epitome, which is completely fair because its an uncommon word and it totally makes sense to read it as that. take it from someone who pronounced "crisp" like "ci-ripps" until they were 8, i forgot what point i was gonna make after saying that.
i also wouldn't know what point you we're gonna make. but i say saying words the wrong way is sometimes makes them sound much cooler and pleasant
It would've been cool to talk about it's interactions with the dagger duchess a little more (maybe that's just a dagger duchess video), and I think that during her meta he was super prevalent to waste her daggers. Besides that, awesome video!
Great video 👍
I love the knight, but evo knight? Insane card. I love being able to defend well above its elixir value. It's also very versatile.
Knight is overshadowed when it comes to iconic recognisability compared to barbarian, but the knight is the kid who sat in the middle of the classroom and was always on it. No one can justify disliking this card.
Thank you for such an amazing video and much knowledge
45 minutes of gratz talking about the knight?? Lemme get my popcorn cuz this is a PEAK movie🔥🔥🔥
Incoming “good stats for the cost” comments
reasonable numbers for the price
Let's go!! The best card in the game (besides credit card) got his own video!!
Thank you! I was just about to eat dinner really great timing for you to upload a video and a long one at that! ❤️
Do you live in the USA? If so, why are you having dinner at 1:30? What do you eat after that, dinner 2? Do you work graveyard shift? Are you capping? What did you eat?
I live in Denmark and I had a pretty late dinner compared to usual since I was pretty busy today so yeah. That was a pretty good timing for him to upload a video lol
@NoobMaster-wq9ys ahh makes sense, I was genuinely curious for some reason
That is alright lol I know time zones can be pretty confusing since it could be morning for me but night for you for example. So I understand the confusion
Nice video man
I will say these videos bring me so much joy
I really look forward to your videos. Keep it going
I can’t believe 22 whole people played knight in feb 2017
Im proud to say that in the two years or so that I played CR not once did I ever search up what the meta was or what cards were good at the time. I made my deck and just stuck to it for every situation and it worked out great 😂
You wanna talk stats for the cost, Cannon Cart is definitely up there
Let's goooo
Another great video 🎉
24:30 Midladder players would speak otherwise.
Good stats for the cost
Good stats for the cost
Good stats for the cost
Sood gtats tor che fost.
Toot gdads tos fra tost.
Knight has honestly been like my favorite card for years. Idk why I just like what he serves. A perfect mini tank for me
Baby wake up Gratz posted
I still use the mortar cycle to this day! It's one of the few decks that I've focused on leveling up.
This meta has to be the most repetitive and exhausting pekka goblin giant or bait
23:45 if he recieved +5% and then -5% he actually (should have) had less hp than before.
Hi Gratz, heard there's a new card that will arrive next season
This channel is goated
He's gonna HACK!
HACK and SLASH!
He's gonna ROCK!
ROCKING his steps!
He's the KNIGHT!
You need to do a vid on the Berserker Gratz
I'd love to see a lava hound video since that was my favourite card to use before I quit the game years ago
The Knight of Clash Royal is like Garen on League of Legends, straightforward and simple
Literally the card to base all other cards strength off of.
0:09 "Were the epitome of simple" I don’t know why but I love how he says 'ep-ih-tome' and not 'ep-it-oh-me' 😂 I'm gonna finish watching the whole video, obviously, I just wanted to point that out lol.
Great video. Now next video please cover the history of the cannon
This video has good content for the length
Suspicious bush history video when?
5 years
He has already mentioned that no new cards will be covered as of now.
Do ice golem next. Loving the vids 👍
well seems knight's evo on it's release now not so broken cause we have literally unkillable lumberjack evo
I always look forward to your videos man, I know its avery generic comment but really I do
we often call it "the man who is invincible on his own side (defense)"
LFG an upload
I'm so dreading for an old simple clash royale
Am curious about one thing-why is literally *_all_* OG/old Clash Royale footage so low resolution?

Knight is the perfect example of “less is more” in gaming.
Clone spell history
Appearance -> giant skeleton meta -> some lava hound hype -> ded
lowkey get excited when a new gratz video drops
If you think about it, dark prince is also one of the most balanced cards that no one talking about
Supercell's balancing team has been smoking crack for almost a decade now. In what universe is Knight compatible to ebarbs?
anyone hear him pronounce epitome hilariously wrong 0:09
He pronounced epitome that way so confidently i had to look it up and make sure there wasnt a real word
And it has always been one of my most hated cards.
Its so good value. It always feel like cheating and like my opponent has 10%more elixir generation.
History of the Golden Knight would be cool since he was a monster at one point
i remember at the time some content creator commenting about the knight art change saying he got another chromosome
lol
Very interesting. Thx
Video ideas: history of the Hunter
Fisherman and Lumberjack.
Also the knight’s icon change was like the executioner’s one. They were both so iconic and menacing before and now they just look goofy.
Good damage but not too damaging, tanky but not too tanky, cheap but fit this stats, Knight is the definition of a card that's fun to play but not annoying to deal

Dark prince, one of my favorite cards and I would love to see a video for it
How do you feel about the lunberjack evolution? I know lunberjack is your favorite card, so wanted to see your opinion on it
YOUR FINNALY BAAAAAACK
Can you like add a poll to ask on which cards for a history video?
Hmmmm the title made me think of megaknight 🤔
30 days I've been deprived of a Gratz video😭😭😭
Pls make a history about Barry it's my favorite card (accept for credit card) And He has An Evo And pretty intresning history pls ❤❤❤
Can you please make a video about the history of Barbarians?
Kight is my first level 15 card, worth
45 minutes is crazy work
30:34 i think the damage amounts are switched
I cannot stop hearing "bridge bam"
At 30:39 the evolution damage and regular damage is swapped
Gratz’s videos are really good for their cost 👍
Please tell me you get it, guys 😅
30:39 did you accidentally swap evo knight's and the normal knight's damage?
which site were you looking at the stats from? if anyone knows can someone comment it
also forgot to mention but a graveyard or golem video would be really nice
Probably Royaleapi
I wonder if Knight was kept strong for so long because they wanted to have it be something that new players felt good about boosting. Investing a lot into a card that you discover sucks is a bit frustrating
It feels like it is the standard card and every other card is some kind of variation in the static of that card
Hey man I was wondering. Well someday you will run out of cards to make videos of. So what if you made this type for brawl stars. For each brawler. Im sure people would love it.
He has such a clean and clear purpose. Love knight fr fr
hey, can i ask you where do you find ladder stats of older years?
Bro really made a 45 min video about the clash royale knight
Knight is the 🐐
what about the +1 lv pecka at 15:45 like yes, a +1 pecka does more damage per swing no wonder knight got 2 taped and at 30:38 the stats are swaped
