It’s the worst balance change imo. You already have a high risk with it and now they’re making it lower reward and an even higher risk with the nerfed radius and the invis spell nerf.
@@brawlnoob7791 that's wrong, it's not just a tile, it's like 3.14×6×6=113 tiles(when radious is 6) 3.14×5×5=78.5 area (when radious is 5) How much? Almost 35 tiles less, which is 1/3 roughly, it's a lot trust me.. or trust the science
7:03 Vampstache is a predetermined amount of healing per attack. In current game the only niche case for the vampstache you could try to make is if the king is moving outside the base for the entire attack and under minimal dmg so the stache allows it to never get overwhelmed. Prior to EQ boots buff, the vampstache + spikeyball combo was close to viable with a few air attacks. Its biggest issue is that it does not have synergy with most of the king equipment. Anti synergy with rage and gauntlet. With EQ shoes ur driving the king into enough dmg to overwhelm him, and barb puppet is a meme equipment. Perhaps when this buff comes out the numbers will be big enough to change something, or maybe whenever that leaked snake epic equipment for the king comes out a decent synergy for the vampstache will exist.
Investing 2 earthquakes is way too expensive imo. I'd just run the gauntlet+rage combo or if you wanna open walls just run eq boot+gauntlet. Or still run the spiky ball just for the damage. Maybe for a maxed spiky ball, investing 1 eq spell isn't so harsh.
All good points. I wonder if the EQs are worth it! Maybe we will see people switching to other equipment. Also have to keep in mind that you’ll need to keep track of where your king is to put the EQ on him when you pop his ability which can be difficult in the chaos of the attack sometimes
With just the DPS increase for vampstache, the King will in fact take less damage than before. Rico Cannon is 6000 HP and 405 DPS. Current King stats with vampstache is 711 DPS. Meaning it would take the King 8.43 seconds to take out a rico cannon. With rico cannon dealing 405 DPS and vampstache giving 300 heal per hit, the King would take 886 in damage. With the increased DPS from vampstache, the King stats are now 763 DPS. Meaning it would take the King 7.86 seconds to take out a rico cannon. In total, taking 825 in damage. If my math is wrong, please correct me, but the DPS increase will help the King, but not by that much.
you need to factor in damage per hit and attack speed of both the king and cannon. Just doing straight DPS math gives you ballpark figures sure, but it is not going to be accurate. For example, if the king still requires the same number of punches to take out the cannon and/or the cannon still gets the same number of shots off before it goes down then the king still takes the same amount of damage. Even that is just theoretical against a single defense which is not what happens in a real attack.
you know why earthquake(eq) boot has abysmal usage before then? It didnt have damage to justify it usage. The nerf on February later will revert it to the original stat. People already use eq spell to pair with spiky/eqboot and the result was terrible back then
It had abysmal usage before because it's range was too short at 6 tiles. After the previous buff, now at 8 tiles of range EQ boots is still going to be very viable when it takes away 40% of hitpoints of all buildings in an 8 tile radius.
people dont really use eq boot with other equipments except spiky ball, 40% will change nothing if the defenses still standing and relentless firing at your army to oblivion
if the vamp king does become meta (or at least more viable), would the king even need the phoenix? because with how they nerfed the invis spell specifically to target the spirit fox timing, it feels like the "phoenix walk" with the RC some pros were doing before might become more prevalent
good insight. Supersell is exactly steering us to all of what you just described. That 0.25 second time reduction is huge. Insta hit defenses like monolith/townhall/scattershit will land at least a hit to RC/fox. Tbh imo it is for the better cause since I'm getting sick of eboot spirit walk 😂
Video 2: Hear me out, the barb, archer, and hog puppets should be shifted to the super troop versions (and then scaled level and # of troops) to make the puppet gear more viable.
LOL when eric pulled out his level one vampstache, i havent been upgrading that shit either, always used giant gauntlet + quake on king so he acts like a giant tanky wallbreaker, cuz i like running hero killsquad comps.
@@soham_paul9342not really a good thing because ores are extremely rare and having the equipment you spended all your resources on get nerfed is like a punch to the face
@@digital_nex2247 yeah But Now new equipment coming time is predictable...and you can manage ores according to that as mostly level 18 is more than enough for most epic equipment
Hopefully the meta shifts away from root riders and dragons after the Feb update. And I think Supercell should show some love to hog riders and miners in this update. Hog rider and miner attacks have been dead since townhall 16 released and it's time to bring them back in the meta.
@@digital_nex2247 Spring traps give a chance to defend hog and miner attacks... These strategies aren't broken (like root riders that have no counter). So it would be good if Supercell gave them a new level in the next update and brought them back in the meta.
I wonder if the EQ spell will scale with the EQ boots (like, the EQ boots is considered an EQ spell so the actual EQ spell deals lesser damage than rated)
I get so mad I waste all my ores that I earned on equipment just for it to get nerfed. Supercell has to make earning ores cheaper, it gets soo annoying and un motivating when they do this
I personally liked spikey ball giant gauntlet, i know the symmetry isnt great but from my perspective they are both very strong together I also think the vampstache "buff" was a nerf, it lowers the amount of healing the king can get
so much names resigned, damn... hope they have better payments, as we need CoC Esports guys that can focus a bit on CoC without gettin wrecked by bills irl :D
What are these thumbnails and titles lol You saying it like the Eq boots were killed by a nerf which only set it in place We literally still have the range just less damage
Exactly, and you’ll need this information to make the EQ boots get the same value as they do now after the nerf goes live. This is important and will have a big impact on everyone using them
@EricOneHive ok thanks for clarifying I just don't want to see your video flooded with the comments like "nerfed to the ground" or "dead" because those who say that want free value
Because before paired with lvl 18 and above spiky ball, it destroys every defences except merged cannon. That was why the combo was so strong. If it doesn't do that anymore, there is really no reason to stick to the combo. It is a huge fkin nerf lol.
@@Bad3abdul lvl 21 doesn't increase spiky ball damage. With the nerf, 24 won't work either. And even with 27 boot, you'll need an additional earthquake spell. So yes it is a hugee nerf.
Thanks to @Sneakyhippo_rob for running the EQ BOOTS calculations! Enjoy the war and see the EQ BOOTS trick at 5:03
Thanks for the timestamp. ❤🎉
Feel like radious of fireball from 6 to 5 in hard mode is absolutely fantastic, hard mode is getting harder and harder I'm ready curious what's next
I just hope these changes reduce the hitrates with root riders enough that pros switch to more interesting attacks
It’s the worst balance change imo. You already have a high risk with it and now they’re making it lower reward and an even higher risk with the nerfed radius and the invis spell nerf.
I don’t notice much difference from 5 to 6 tiles I don’t know maybe once in a while you will notice
@@EricOneHive Yeah fr the only interesting part of the root rider attack is where they place the overgrowth

If spending 1-2 spells to justify it usage, it just better to not use the boot altogether.
Maybe im wrong but who knows. We'll see on next month

People already use eq spells to justify using the fireball. Should they not use that either because it takes extra spells to be viable?@@acatz9462
The radius was only 6 tiles back then lol. 8 tiles gives you a 33% increase in radius, but more importantly, an 80% increase in the area of effect.
Eric is the best clash youtober for me🎉

Probably after
They should have changed the fireball radius at lvl 21 so that th 14 can use that.
Can't seem to find the eq boots trick. At what point is he talking abt it?
They should’ve drop it down to 45% that would’ve been the sweet spot
Can i get base link for your home village th 14 sir Eric?

Never miss you video 🎉❤ eric liked my comment 😭🤩🤩🤩🤩
Everyone 3 stars… trying to sound excited about it is disingenuous. The game has NO DEFENSE AT ALL. Legends NEEDS hard mode….its impossible to defend
Loope fell off man
