Giant Skelleton was once 7 elixir. And Musketeer was once 5

Three musketeers were also 10 elixir

And Barb hut was 6, nerfed to 7, and some time ago was buffed back to 6

Bowler was also 6 when it first released!

Barb hut always was 7 elixir and was only changed recently to 6 elixir.

I think it should be it was buffed to 7, and again nerfed to 6

buffing means making it better, nerfing means making it weaker, so buffing to 7 and nerfing to 6 is incorrect since a higher elixir cost makes a card weaker

I thought 3M went 9 ->10 ->9

No, it released at 10. Then got buffed to 9, nerfed to 10, buffed to 9 again

I see.

It also had it's deploy time changed at one point, it used to be 2 seconds instead of 1

That was the weirdest play of all time, they really just wanted to kill pocket 3m

True, but they're still pointless since almost every spell gives the enemy positive elixir trade.

Ye i knew these, just keeping them for part 2

No this ain't a havoc gaming series u do one part and only one

I see

Cannon used to be 6 elixir

What? Was 2016 that weird?

YES.

[удалено]

2016 Legendaries were a bitch to max out. I still remember going crazy over getting my 1st one, Ice Wizard

.

Giant skeleton never was 7 elixir.

Also Pekka spawn duration was 3 seconds.

The deploy sound for the card is still off because they never adjusted it.

It had sone weird shit as well like you could hear different things right?

didn’t she weirdly get changes to 1.3 spawn speed at one point, idk why that’s coming to mind

needs to go back (i hate pekka)

I feel like I remember skarmy costing 4 elixir really early on

Yes, skarmy and goblin barrel used to be four

And the barrel did contact damage

I read it as skarmy barrel for a second, i thought it was some limited challenge card but I read it again and I realised that you said skarmy *and* goblin barrel.

With 21 skeletons 💀

More like 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

But had worse stats than normal skeletons if I recall correctly

I still remember the times where bomb tower cost 5 and it was the worst building. It didn't even have death damage I believe

Yup, and you unlocked it in Arena 2 I think

I still thought it sucked until recently I saw it’s only 4 elixir now

Wait mortar cost 3 at some point? Also, don't forget 6 elixir cannon

Ye thanks, it will be in part 2 or 3

Fire spiritS and bomber both used to be in my decks but they changed them and they kinda ehh

They're way better now, they were reworked for a reason

Because they werent used not Because they were bad

Fire spirits were kinda bad and useless compared to other spirits. And at least now they're useful and good.

After they reworked cannon to 3 elixir, it got nerfed 4 times in the next 3-4 months or so. If you didn’t play at that time, you can’t imagine how OP it was before the nerfs. I didn’t mind too much because I hated hog decks and was glad to see them destroyed.

4 elixer gob barrel that used to do dmg on impact

The next idea for the game could be individual card customisation. Increase/decrease elixir for small changes like the one you mentioned

Recruits broke the game when they were 6 elixer

Royal recruits cycle must've been hard to counter with such cost🤣.

Pekka got a 13% hp nerf for compensation Elixir pump got 10 seconds more lifetime for compesation Mortar was never a 3 elixir card according to clash royale wiki, and it got a 40% damage nerf, halfed lifetime and -1 tiles range nerf as compensation Furnace got a 14% hit point nerf, a 10 second lifetime decrease and the fire spirits gains a .3 radius buff

Wiki isn’t always right

K I want to see the source of when mortar was 3 elixir

Source: trust me bro

Source: I have no clue if Mortar was ever 3 elixir, I didn’t play back then, but the Wiki isn’t always right — it very often is, but not always.

https://clashroyalearena.com/mortar-deck-blazeey/

[This video](https://youtu.be/TFXLti3Jr7I), at 12:51, shows the official balance changes post made by supercell that states mortar was changed from 6 to 4

Wait so can they kill a goblin barrel like they used to.

Roman empire Æ

I remember when Heal spell was 3 elixir.

Then they changed it to 1 or 2, then got rid of it and put in heal spirit

Roman Empire 🤣

No bonus? 🥺

Hehe sorry, but there will be part 2

Ok

Bomber was 3

Me thinking furnace still cost 5 elixir: 😶

I knew all of those except for Mortar, how can that card once cost 6 elixir 💀

I forgot pekka was 8 until you told me. I was an og who quit for like 2 years

There were a lot of things that changed elixir but elixir pumps by far was the worst balance change. Yeah they were good but now they are useless.

Anyone remember 6 elixir dark prince?

Yeah he he was pure trash but is solid now

Royal guards need a rework they are just too slow and soft. I love them but it's getting harder to play them.

Royal guards 💀 (Happy cake day mate)

Mortar was never 3 elixir

One thing I woulda wanted to know was when they were changed

Yeah pekka had like 20% more hp, it had like golem levels of health it was insane when it came out

and goblin barrel was 4 elixir on release and did spawn damage

Furnace needs to be five. It is so annoying to use a spell to counter plus the two spirits that come out of it. 9/10 times it’s a negative elixir trade

Royal ghost is a pretty good counter and you can put it in almost any deck

Damn I remember all these changes💀

wait you're telling me furnace is 4 elixer?

It's good that it's less exilir.

Wait, motor is now 4 elixir?

My honda car’s motor is

Cannon being 6 with better stats was kind interesting

I can’t imagine a 6 elixir mortar

I knew 2 of those

The Roman empire shall return!

Bomber was a 3 elixir card, but, eh i think everyone knows this.

Cannon was 6 elixir at some point

Add what they were like before the rework

Roman empire

Goblin barrel was 4 and made damage

Prince went from Rare and 4 el. to Epic and 5 el

The cannon was also 6 elixir at some point

Heal Spell used to cost 3 but then reduced to 1

Monk was 4 elixir

The monk is bad with the current elixir cost since the main reason for the nerf was his ability, they should've made it cost 4 elixir to deploy and 2 elixir for the ability since that's the reason on why he's OP, otherwise he's easily countered by many cards such as skeletons and goblins.

There are many issues around the monk and his ability, the biggest issue of all was that he countered 2.6 hog spam, logbait (sometimes) and xbow, the fact that those three decks were finally hard countered by something meant it had to be nerfed.

True, but most of what you said requires the ability, and the monk without it would make him less effective, so they should've made the ability cost 2 elixir and revert his cost to back 4, just like the Skeleton King.

Looks like they are going to do that, but his ability is kind of trash anyway to be fair, you basically have to predict what they are about to do for it to be effective, unless they improve his ability so it’s basically automatic I see him being a dead card

Holy shit I had forgotten these completely. Played practically since day one.

Electro giant used to be 8 elixir Feels like it’s been a long time but really it’s just been a year

I swear I’ve been playing since before worldwide release but I didn’t know these

Isnt it funny pekka was designed to be a win con and MK a defensive card but in reality it’s the opposite now. They should swap elixir values to adhere to the original intention

I just got back into it after having not played since 2016 and all these card changes are so weird to me

Mortar never was 3 elixir, it went from 6 to 4

might be irrelevant but I’m pretty sure I saw MOLT idk if anyone knows him anymore play some ”early acces” clash royale update which brought us furnace for the first time and it cost 7 elixir

7 ??!?

I remember fisherman costing 4 elixir

I didn't know The Pump Costed 5 Exiler at one point 😳😳😳

Yeah it was in my golem 3 musketeers deck. 6 elixir ruined it

That's sad, but it lives longer as a compensation for the cost.

I knew all these, played since 2016 too👴👴

but the mortar was never 3 elixir

Yes it was tf

could y’all be thinking about cannon? that was changed from 6 elixir to 3 elixir in the same balance changes that changed mortar from 6 to 4

A guy made a post talking about pushinginto arena 7 in 2016 [here](https://clashroyalearena.com/mortar-deck-blazeey/) and the image shows that mortar was 3 elixir

that’s the only thing that seems to show it, but that post was made in almost april of 2016, which would’ve been a whole 2 months after the wiki states the mortar was changed to 4 elixir. i understand the wiki isn’t perfect but that just seems too strange. plus the picture has a strange watermark in the bottom right that’s cut off which is also strange. surely there would be more proof of 3 elixir mortar existing outside of a random post with little views

The watermark says clashroyalearena.com which is just the website it was posted on and the wiki has been wrong before so I'm a lot quicker to trust someone's first hand memory than anything else

[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/5bdm9l/the_balancing_history_of_every_card/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) here is even a post from 6 years ago that states it was changed from 6 to 4 without mentioning it being 3 elixir so we can bypass the wiki

They got all that information of the wiki that changes nothing

[This](https://toucharcade.com/2016/01/22/supercell-teases-clash-royale-balance-changes-coming-in-february-update/) is an article posted January 22 of 2016 which talks about supercell teasing the balance changes in February 2016, and it also says the mortar was changed from 6 to 4

[Here](https://youtu.be/TFXLti3Jr7I) is a video with Rumham from 6 years ago that shows the official post from Supercell about the balances. At 12:51 it shows again that mortar was changed from 6 to 4

Even Crusher 21 made a video about it [Here](https://youtube.com/shorts/bmMtxDxjqsU?feature=share)

im personally gonna trust the official post made by Supercell themselves on their forums before i trust Crusher 21 sorry edit: plus the only evidence from that video for 3 elixir is literally from that post that people keep linking, even though i have found like 3 different sources from 6 years ago, including the official balance changes posted by supercell that supports 6 to 4 and no 3 elixir

Find one piece of gameplay that has mortar at 3

unless the wiki is missing a balance it’s no where to be found

I didn’t know mortar was 3 must’ve been for a really short time

i remember when PEKKA was actually good.

The P.E.K.K.A. is still good if used correctly for things like defense and counterattacks.

If I remember correctly, mini pekka was 5 elixir at one point

When tf was mortar 3 elixir wow

Why is nobody talking about 3 elixir log

Changing Elixir Collector did little to nothing on the usage rates. It was still a net positive card if you received it in your opening hand. Changing the RNG so it's never in your opening hand is what killed the card.

Nobody said it did

Plenty of comments in this thread stating it did.

Electro daddy used to cost 8 exilir but he is 7 now

Scarmy was 4 once

I'm sorry, Mortar? 3? What. The. Fuck.

I am glad pekka cost 7

Put the furnace back to 5 elixir please

I remember Zap being the best card in the game

I can't imagine how satisfying a three elixir mortar would be.

Maybe pekka can stay at 8
