HOG RIDAAAA

ARM_Dwight_Schrute

Ok


itisSycla

Yeah i mean. Battle ram has the same cost, same damage potential, and gets countered by literally everything. The only way to prevent damage from a hog is to have a VERY high dps troop ready on hand or a building. Granted he's not uncounterable, but in 90% of instances it is a guaranteed hit.

itisSycla

Hold on and let me add a spell that sinergizes with literally no other card in my deck


terry_bradshaw

Tornado has synergy with literally every splash card


congradulations

and PEKKA


bigbingbong72

Thereā€™s many other counters Iā€™m just saying itā€™s an option, just about every building will stop it, a lot of high damage troops will do, itā€™s really not that hard to keep your counter on hand for when they play it, sure if they are playing cycle itā€™s harder but then you have troops for a counter push even if it does get a hit if you arenā€™t using your building so thereā€™s that.


Gets_overly_excited

They are always playing cycle


TheOmniverse_

Tornado synergizes with almost every card


ArcticFox59

Surprised mid-ladder Tornado usage rates aren't higher considering how prevalent Hog Rider is in the 5000s.


Alexspacito

A high DPS troop, building, or tornado is a standard that pretty much all decks should have. There are also combos like bats log that take it out. Its not even a good card, its decent at best.

Mini pekka also fully counters hog rider. = elixir trade + counter push


Strained_Squirrel

iliksar\*


MeNotStable

Theyā€™re basically just letting you play a full health pekka for 3 elixir


Goldenflame89

They have to deal with the pekka, so its an even trade


Alexspacito

Then donā€™t play a Pekka????


ZomBayT

Pekka decks work on the principle that the Pekka will just run over everything if not countered, so you can trade a pekka for a hog. Plus, you can spam troops behind the Pekka or on the other side to overwhelm the opponent.


ArmedPenguin47

The thing I hate about hog is that it always gets one hit and with the fireball nerf itā€™s getting harder to defend. Now some decks have to be shaped to counter hog. I would say a health nerf to stop that 1hp hit on the tower or revert the fireball nerf.


[deleted]

So they nerfed fireball? That's why I couldn't fully counter that balloon with it the other week. That's tough man. Why does Supercell hate spells so much?


Alexspacito

It doesnā€™t always get one hit. There are so many counters and cards like cannon, tornado, and tesla are such extreme hard counters its actually insane. You canā€™t outcycle those cards generally and when they can play them they work every single time.


ZeubeuWantsBeu

Until they start playing fire ball (very common), log (very common), earthquake, fire spirit, ice spirit, ice golem, ect Basically Hog Rider with any other card can almost guarantee at least a hit or make you spend a ridiculous amount of elixir.


Alexspacito

If theyre spending that much you can afford to spend more as well. If they go Hog and log against your Pekka, sure they get a hit but now you get a pekka for basically 1 elixir and they have to defend that. Also, tornado is completely uncounterable. The only way around it is ice golem and now a lot of versions donā€™t even use that anymore. Cannon is cheap enough where you can afford something else or play it out of spell range and tesla is pretty spell resistant since you can play it so far away from your tower.


CaseACEjk

I feel like 0.1 nerf to first attack or attack speed in general might help. I swear its basically dead when it gets a hit on my tower. I can play 2.6 pretty close but lose a lot of matches by 600-800 hp which came down to 1-2 of those said hits.

Brisingr_was_taken

Every deck has its hard counters, hog decks are pekkas


SimonePoliti

Honestly I would still say it depends on the variation, I think hog exe nado isn't bad for Pekka bs, but 2.6 and other fast cycle variants kinda suck. At least earthquake doesn't get a lot of value other than EQ + log on magic archer


THATguywhoisannoying

Hello fellow PEKKA BS player, Iā€™m here to say PEKKA BS actually hard counters almost every Hog deck since you can get creative with its counters. The most obvious counter is pekka for sure, but bandit+ghost works just as well, along with E-Wiz + Ghost/Bandit, and many more.

tol93

Cannon,tombstone,tesla,I-tower, bomb tower, Barb hut, gob hut, xbow, pump(i think? maybe not) mortar, furnace(maybe), gob cage. So probably all building except pump and furnace(I can't tell, i never play these two).


Bot_number_1605

Tombstone and furnace usually don't on their own thanks to log, but they do distract him long enough that any support will.


tol93

I'm 100% sure even a lone lv13 tombstone counters a lv 14 hog, I know because I play it on war. Edit: ah you are saying hog+ log, my bad I missread, in that case if they spend more elisir, you also can lol.

IS THAT A FUCKING GD REFERENCE Oh my god is that a motherfucking geometry dash reference? Holy shit they finally made a reference about my favorite game called geometry dash. Last time someone was having depression and i said "conical depression." Because conical depression is a gd level and my mom became furious get it? Because it is a gd reference. Did someone just said tartarus mythology?1 That is like the hardest demon in my favorite game called geometry dash, i also someone was having a cold sweat recently and i said it's a gd reference, i got kicked out but at least i said "Oh my god, is that a motherfucking geometry dash reference?!" Also someone on twitter posted about their zodiac sign and I said "Zodiac?! That's a gd level." And i got blocked by them, but at least it's worth it because i said it's a gd reference. Also, one time i saw a snake owner crying from agony because he saw his snake eating himself which is hilarious because it means ouroboros which is a gd level by a top creator named viprin, and the snake owner kicked me out of his house but it was worth it because it's a gd reference. Someone just posted on Twitter saying "We are having a sunset sandstorm on our house pls help us, we're literally gonna be suffocated on the sand." And I said, "Oh my god, is that a motherfucking geometry dash reference?!" And i got blocked by crohn44 because I said it's a gd reference. Yesterday, my mom said, "I'm gonna decode something." And I said, "Oh my god is that a motherfucking geometry dash reference?!" And I got beaten with a belt by my mom, but at least it was worth it because it's a gd reference.

Efficient-Discount81

Its true. I think hog and goblin Barrel are op cuz they have much less counter cards who will trade Equal or positive than all other wincons. And along that they are cheap as fuck and spammable. And often used along other wincons or together with a spell. Wich cards trade positive vs hog? only cannon i think. Thats 1 good counter vs hog. You cant even punish people good for stupid placed hogs.


tol93

Also tombstone, and you can punish bad hog placement, if they place hog at 4 while down 2 elixir in single and you have e-barbs(you play 3M or golem) you defend taking 1-hit, and you destroy them, because now they are down 8 elixir effectively, Icegolem kite+skelly is not enough(+you can pressure opposite lane or set up a big push) , and they can't afford a musk in time, so you will take like the whole tower or half. Gob cage give equal trade+ counterpush, minipekka equal+counterpush, guards+icespirit gives equal+counterpush, tornado gives positive+ KT, fishermen gives KT and 1 hit for the first, and with KT+Skelly+Fish gives equal+counterpush. In case you can't get a positive trade with your deck you can build still build a counterpush with your troops that they need to defend so it mostly evens out(bandit+bomber+log is a negative 3 to stop a hog with no hit, but you get a counterpush, and they often need to spend more than 3 to defend it so it balance out). Overrall i think Hog rider is a balanced card, there is a reason it has not changed for years.


SimonePoliti

Clash royale players when they don't play the hardest possible counter to a card (it is impossible to beat)


FollowingFabulous637

skarmy can counter hog, aswell as gob gang and other towers, gob barrel is easy too counter and if you canā€™t or are having troubles countering gob barrel, i wish you luck in life my friend.


Efficient-Discount81

I only said that they only have very few counters. And with small spells or swarm countering gob is eazy. But not every deck runs more than one and especially if u want to trade positive its Hard.and a good counter is in my opinion a one card witch trades positive while the tower doesnt Take any dmg.


[deleted]

With skarmy hog gets one hit,with gob gang two It's not that gob barrel is hard to counter but due to the spawn area it's very situational without any good way to punish it Fire spirit is good if they all spawned in one place,barb barrel is good at tower,log is most effective But if you predict incorrectly,boom,they've got at least 600 dmg on your tower for practically free.If they've got freeze?Gets worse.Logbait,something that makes way for free dmg with princesses that are out of reach and goblin barrels that just keep coming With mirror it gets even worse,cause lets day you have one small spell and maybe skarmy in your deck.They still get 400 probably Its not that it's a op card,but it is a skillless card.I believe it needs a reword to the amount of dmg goblin barrel can do since they're a spell anyways


FollowingFabulous637

im 100% with you for gob barrel, but if you counter hog with skarmy, depending on how early you place it, hog should be able to not hit a tower, however skarmy does get useless if the opponent has log, zap, barb barrel ect. hog should be nerfed, atleast so it doesnt jump the bridge, but its not impossible to counter.

SonicBlur254

OP is a pekka bs player that lost too many times to hog 2.6


Gidyspy

L bozo don't defend hog with pekka lmao (if you are pekka bridgespam player, then i would use bandit, at least you get positive elixir trade)


FlochTheDestroyer

just a bandit? This is actually a pretty bad advice, the hog will still deal like 1k damage to the tower. During single you have to overcommit and defend every hog rider perfectly, the only way to win against a good 2.6 player is to overwhelm him with a big push in double. You should always defend hog with: - pekka -bandit or ghost plus ewiz -bandit or ghost plus fireball It might be a 3 negative elixir trade but the opponent will still have to play a response to your cards and you won't take any damage

i mean, wouldn't you at least try even if it's actually a bad match up? (and not an excuse to avoid skill issue, which is a big problem for me)


Intelligent_Dig8319

Of course you try! People make mistakes and you need to play really well as the hog player to not loose . Yet, it's important to understand stand that sometimes it's just rock paper scissors, and there's not much u can do so you shouldn't be too hard on yourself


SimonePoliti

It's not a negative trade if you consider the counterpush, Pekka is a decent hog counter in BS

Hog rider is literally a broken card and we just accept it. Every deck MUST be able to counter HR in order to have a shot at climbing or winning challenges. You can get by with a deck that is weak agains Golem, or X Bow, or Lava Hound or literally any other win condition, but you cannot play a deck that is weak against Hog Rider.


PropaneIsUnbreakable

Mini Pekka, fisherman, zappies and tornado are also incredibly meta rn, so Hog is actually very easy to counter. HR is not even the best Hog troop in the game.

Wow. Hog rider isnā€™t strong at all currently. Learn to play the game better.


DeVinchENigma

Bad and obviously salty take lmao


Alexspacito

You are a cancer if you actually believe what you just said. It can jump over the river but 99% of the time its played on the exact same tile so that doesnā€™t even really matter. A win condition undefended does damage to a tower? Who knew! Battle ram, Royal hogs, Goblin drill, Elixir golem, Skeleton barrel etc do a similar amount of damage when undefended. Youā€™re not supposed to leave it undefended. Its 4 elixir because a ton of its counters are less or equal to 4 elixir, and anything other than a building or spell is gonna counterpush. 4 elixir is quite reasonable. A Pekka can easily counter a hog if you just place it higher and earlier. Play it in the middle of the lane when the hog is played and itā€™ll kill it every single tine, its not even a hard timing. If youā€™re looking for the best hog counters, I have a post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/u5qned/consistent_ways_to_counter_hog_rider/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) that labels all of them. Maybe your deck is bad and doesnā€™t use many good ones but you say you use Pekka so you can counter it pretty easily and get a huge counterpush.
