What's up everyone, this is yarn from Orange Juice

These are balance changes coming June 21st

I don't have access to the developer build

So I won't be able to show you a side by side comparison

All values in this video will be based on tournament standard levels

Examples shown in the video may not accurately reflect these exact levels, but do demonstrate the point

The Hog Rider is finally getting a nerf

He's getting a 6% damage decrease

What does this mean?

It'll now take an additional shot to take down an Inferno Tower.

For the most part

You won't notice any difference unless you're running a deck centered around Hog cycle

The Prince is getting 9% damage buff

That's about 20 extra damage

This may not seem like much

But this is an insane buff for the Prince

Barbarians, Musketeers and Wizards will now die 2 hits

Or 1 charge strike

The P.E.K.K.A. is getting an 8% damage buff

From 600 to 650

This means he can now 1 shot Musketeers and Barbarians

This is very significant considering the Prince will also be able to kill Barbarians in 1 swing

That's 8 swings, down to 4

The Goblin Barrel is really easy to counter

Zap, arrows and Fire Spirits. They're all positive elixir trades

So they're getting a well deserved buff

The deploy time is being reduced from 1.2 seconds to 1 second

The X-Bow will now deploy 1 second faster

This is not a game breaking buff considering that the X-Bow deployment time used to be 3 seconds

Prior to the February balance update

Another buff it's receiving is an 18% HP increase

The X-Bow was heavily abused back in the day before the Royal Giant became the meta

To put this into perspective of what 18% means

The Royal Giant now has to take 1 additional shot before it can take out the X-Bow

The Mortar received 2 nerfs in the first May balance update

The deploytime got nerfed from 3 seconds to 5 seconds

Now it'll take 4 seconds to deploy

The Furnace is getting it's lifetime increased from 40 seconds, back to 50 seconds

But this means it's going to remain at 4 elixir

This means it'll spawn an additional wave of Fire Spirits

The Guards are getting a buff

They no longer have a pushback when their shield breaks

This means they won't stutter toward the arena tower anymore

The Witch is getting yet another massive damage buff

This time it's a 17% damage increase

These are very calculated numbers

It turns out that Spear Goblins and Skeletons will still require 2 shots to kill

But the Minion now only takes 3 shots to kill, instead of 4

The Lava Hound is getting a massive damage increase of 28%

That means a lot in terms of percentages

But that's only increasing it 10 damage

At 45 damage he'll still deal less damage than 1 Spear Goblin

Skeletons will no longer spawn 4 units

They'll spawn a total of 3

This is a huge damage nerf

They're going to be 25% weaker

And it also goes beyond a 25% HP nerf

Single target heavy hitters are going to be harder to defend against

To put that into perspective

That's 1 extra strike the Mini PEKKA can potentially get on your tower

That's a lot considering the Mini PEKKA deals over 500 damage per swing

I'm salty about this nerf

Supercell if you're listening

plz don't

The Cannon is getting yet another HP nerf

With 8% decreased health

It's going to be less viable to use against Royal Giant

With the Hog Rider's damage nerf, not much will change to reactive Cannon plants

However, chip damage will have a slightly bigger impact on the Cannons lifetimer

The Tesla is getting an 8% health buff

Essentially that means it can survive 1 extra hit from a Spear Goblin

But a more realistic change is that it can survive 1 additional shot from a Royal Giant
