Castle Crush Fire Elemental Update!

Published: December 20th, 2018

In today’s Castle Crush update video, we are going to look at the brand new card: Fire Elemental! I am also going to cover the balance adjustments that were included in this update and discuss how they may effect Rush Deck players.

Fire Elemental is the newest addition to the “Elemental” gang in Castle Crush. He has a very powerful ability that can be deadly against Archers, Skeletons, etc. In this video, we will take a look at Fire Elemental’s stats and even check out some Fire Elemental Game-play footage, courtesy of the official Castle Crush YouTube channel.

Update 20.12, which was released earlier today, is a very important Castle Crush update. Not only does it introduce the new card Fire Elemental, but it also includes a few balance adjustments.

One of these adjustments in particular is going to greatly effect anyone that uses a ‘Rush Deck‘. The Standard Bearer is a staple in almost every Castle Crush Rush Deck. In the past, his ability would give a +66% speed boost to all troops in his lane. This massive speed boost allowed players to quickly attack enemy castles, before their opponent would even have a chance of defending.

But as of today, the Standard Bearer is basically having his ability cut in half. So, instead of giving friendly troops a +66% speed boost, he will now only give +33% speed to friendly heroes.

This adjustment is going to greatly effect Rush Deck players and could possibly kill the Rush Deck as we know it. But honestly, I feel this was a much needed adjustment, as the Standard Bear was over-powered, in my opinion.

Is this the end of Rush Decks? Probably not. But at least now we will have a better chance of defending against them.

This latest balance adjustment also impacts Skull Queen and the Orc Horde. In this video we will also take a look at these new stat adjustments and discuss how they will effect Castle Crush game-play.

I am really looking forward to unlocking Fire Elemental and you can bet that I will have a brand new Fire Elemental game-play video in the very near future!

I hope you enjoyed this Castle Crush Update 20.12 analysis video! If there are any topics you’d like to see me cover in an upcoming video, please let me know in the comment section!

Most INSANE Castle Crush Victory EVER!!

Most INSANE Victory EVER!! (Daily Crush #6)

Published: December 2nd, 2018

Every once in awhile, I run into a Castle Crush opponent that is much stronger than myself. But these mismatches are rather rare, as I feel the match-making in Castle Crush is usually on point.

However, it’s a whole different story when playing tournament mode, due to the fact that there is no limit on the level your opponent might be. This means you may face much weaker opponents or you may end up facing much stronger opponents.

It just depends on who is playing the tournament mode at the same time as you. But as many strong opponents as I have seen over the months of me playing Castle Crush, I’ve never come into contact with anyone that even comes close to the power of the opponent featured in this video!

His name is Flotsen and he is hands down the single strongest opponent I’ve ever faced in my Castle Crush career! Period. Nobody else even comes close!

At the time of filming this video, Flotsen’s trophy count was at 6308 (more than triple my trophy count at the time) and he has topped out at over 7100+ trophies in the past! So, needless to say, when I saw who I was up against, I instantly assumed the worst and figured this would surely be a loss, ending my tournament run.

Once the game began and I saw the deck he was working with, I almost couldn’t believe my eyes! It seemed as if every single card he played was a Legendary card! One after another, he started spawning legendary cards all over the map and it seemed as if his legendary arsenal was never ending!

This was definitely rather disheartening, as I had only 1 Legendary card in my deck at the time: my Archer Queen). (See video: Castle Crush Update! Plus Legendary Drop!)

However, I decided to remain positive and try my best to compete against Flotsen’s legendary army and I am very glad that I did, because this decision led to what is now my single greatest Castle Crush victory EVER!

Most INSANE Victory EVER!! (Castle Crush Gameplay)

I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when his castle fell to the ground and he ‘Victory’ message popped up onto he screen. I did it! I actually managed to defeat the hands-down strongest player that I’ve ever come into contact with!

After the match, I quickly searched for his profile, so that I could see just how many legendary cards he was working with. To my surprise, he had not just 1 or 2 legendary cards. Not 3 or 4 or even 5 legendary cards… Nope!

His deck had a total of 7 freaking Legendary cards, from various castles, including many which I haven’t ever seen in battle!

Moral of the Story: Don’t underestimate yourself and never give up even when things look bad! Because you just may have what it takes to surprise yourself and beat that “unbeatable” opponent!

I would like to say thank you and send a big shout out to Flotsen and his Angry Army clan! Good game, my friend! Hopefully we can do it again some time! You have one hell of a deck and I’m sure you will be even stronger the next time we run into each other!

If there are any Castle Crush topics you would like to see me cover in an upcoming video, please let me know in the comment section! Also, I appreciate any feedback you may have for me, just please keep it (relatively) clean.

I hope you enjoy watching this INSANE Castle Crush gameplay video just as much as I did creating it!

Thanks for watching!

Is Giant Growth Good?! (Plus Magical Chest Opening)

Published: November 11th, 2018

Today’s video marks the 5th installment of our Castle Crush series: Daily Crush. In today’s episode, we will open a Castle 7 Magical Chest and discuss my new card: Giant Growth!

This is the first Castle 7 chest opening I’ve displayed on my channel. This particular Magical Chest was pretty decent. I got a good bit of Archers (which are a huge part of my rush deck), as well as a few Epic cards!

After the chest opening, we will head over to my collection and take a look at a few of my new Castle 7 cards! Among these cards is one I have been hoping to get for a long time: Giant Growth!

Is Giant Growth Good?! (Plus Magical Chest Opening)

However, just like Mana Ritual, I am a bit confused as to how exactly Giant Growth works. The card description is a bit vague in its explanation and is chock full of stipulations and limitations.

So, I’m calling upon my amazing subscribers to please help me decipher Giant Growth’s ability and determine whether or not it is a good fit for my current deck.

I would like to thank everyone that has been viewing, liking and commenting on my Castle Crush videos. You guys (and girls) are amazing and you are the reason I’ve decided to continue making Castle Crush content!

If there are any Castle Crush topics you’d like to see me cover in an upcoming episode of Daily Crush, please drop it in the comment section and I will be glad to hook you up! Also, I appreciate any feedback you may have for me, as it helps me produce better content. I just ask that you please keep it (relatively) clean.

Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers!

Insane Mana Ritual Deck! (Daily Crush # 4)

Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers!

Published: November 14th, 2018

The Castle Crush Rush Deck offers players a way to flood the map with attackers for very little cost. It can be one of the hardest (not-to-mention most annoying) Castle Crush decks to defend against. (See my previous videos covering Rush Deck tips: Gone in 60 Seconds and Insane Mana Ritual Rush Deck!)

That is why I decided to put together a list of the best Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers! In this video, we will examine the top 12 cards that I feel are best for defending against Castle Crush Rush Decks!

I will explain why I chose each card and give examples of how I personally have used them in battle. I will also discuss some of the most effective strategies I’ve had used against my own Castle Crush Rush Deck.

I hope this video helps you understand exactly what a Castle Crush Rush Deck is, why they are so effective and (most importantly) steps you can take to help defend against them. Please keep in mind that I am in currently in Castle 6. Therefore, my list of Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers will only include cards from Castles 1 – 6.

How do you feel about my list of Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers? Do you agree with the cards and strategies I’ve laid out in this video? Voice your opinion in the comment section and let me know which Rush Deck Killers you find to be most effective.

Thanks for watching!

Daily Crush – Episode 2 (Castle Crush)

Published: November 10, 2018

Today’s Castle Crush video is the 2nd episode in our new series: Daily Crush!

In today’s episode we will once again play the Daily Game Mode. Today’s mode is: ‘Max 6 Crystals‘. This means I am only able to use cards in my deck that cost 6 mana or less, because the maximum amount of crystals will be 6 instead of 12.

This game mode benefits me greatly due to the fact that I already run a ‘Rush Deck‘ most of the time and therefore, have plenty of low cost cards to work with. After the daily game, we will play a few matches with the new ‘Black Knight‘ deck that I recently put together in a previous video.

Daily Crush – Episode 2 (Castle Crush)

I am really starting to like this deck, as it helps to address a few of the issues I was experiencing with my original ‘Rush Deck’. This new deck feels more powerful and more balanced overall. I will most likely continue using this new ‘Black Knight‘ deck for awhile and hopefully it’s just what I need to finally reach Castle 7!

I apologize in advance for the loud game-play sound, as I had forgot to turn on ‘audio ducking’ before I started to record. I’m pretty sure it isn’t too bad and I’m hoping it’s still watchable.

I promise to be more careful and verify that the audio levels are on point for future uploads.

If there are any topics you’d like to see me cover in an upcoming Castle Crush video, please let me know in the comment section! Also, any feedback you may have is very welcome and much appreciated!

Daily Crush – Episode 1 – Fog of War/Deck Building

Published: November 9th, 2018

Today’s video will be the first episode in our new Castle Crush game-play series titled: ‘Daily Crush‘!

In today’s episode we will cover the Daily Game Mode: “Fog of War“. This is a very fun and unpredictable mode of play, as the battlefield is completely covered in fog and you can only see as far as your troops have traveled. This leads to many surprise attacks and ambushes, as you will see in this episode.

Then we will take a look at my collection and try out a new Castle 6 deck that includes some new cards I haven’t had a chance to use in battle. These cards include: Protection, Spiked Statue and the heavy hitters Elemental Mud and Black Knight!

Thanks for checking out our very first Daily Crush episode and thank you for all the feedback we’ve received on YouTube and Reddit. It was your feedback that led to the creation of this new series, which will stray away from opening chests and move toward actual Castle Crush game-play and tips.

We hope you enjoy this new series! As always please drop a comment with any feedback or opinions you may have. Also, if there is a particular topic you’d like to see Smash Therapy Gaming cover in a future video, please let us know in the comment section!

Feedback is always welcome and always much appreciated!

Thanks again! Enjoy the video!

INSANE Battles! (All-in Mode) (Castle Crush)

Castle Crush – Gone In 60 Seconds! (Rush Deck Tips)

Castle Crush Update! Plus Legendary Card Drop!

Castle Crush – Insane Battles! (All-in Mode)

Published: November 8th, 2018

In today’s Castle Crush video, we will be playing the ‘All-in’ Daily Game Mode! Matches played in ‘All-in Mode’ tend to be pretty chaotic (as you will see in this video), as every single card costs zero mana!

Everything from Archers and Dwarfs to Black Knights and even Skull Kings cost absolutely nothing to spawn! As you can imagine, these matches are just ridiculous and can get out of control pretty quickly.

First, I will play the All-in mode with the intent of actually winning a match, in order to receive the reward chest. Then, once I’ve collected the reward, we will have some fun messing around and experimenting with my deck.

Finally, I will configure a deck specifically for the purpose of seeing just how big of a Spectre I can spawn. I packed my deck with every card I own that spawns multiple heroes at once and topped it off with two Spectres.

The results were even crazier than I expected, so be sure to stick around to the end of the video to see my insanely huge Spectre!

Thank you to everyone who has been liking and sharing my videos and welcome to all my new subscribers! If there is a particular topic you’d like to see me cover, be sure to drop it in the comment section and I will most likely hook you up.

Also, I appreciate any and all feedback you may have for me, all I ask is that you please keep it clean!

Thanks again! Enjoy the video!

Gone In 60 Seconds! (Rush Deck Tips) (Castle Crush)

Castle Crush Update! Plus Legendary Card Drop!

Gone in 60 Seconds! (Castle Crush Rush Deck Tips)

November 11th, 2018

Today’s Castle Crush video is all about ‘rush’ decks! When built and used properly, the Castle Crush ‘rush deck’ can be a very lethal weapon against any opponent!

First, I will explain exactly what a ‘rush deck’ is and why they are so powerful. After this brief explanation, we will head over to my personal card collection and I will give an in-depth analysis of each card that is in my current ‘rush deck’.

I will breakdown the stats and abilities of each card and explain how I personally use them in battles to quickly and effectively take down my opponents. This video is packed with tips and tricks for building your own Castle Crush ‘rush deck’, as well as strategies for effectively using them in battle!

I started uploading Castle Crush videos on a whim, basically because I needed a break from Smashing Four. However, my Castle Crush content seems to be getting a much better response and therefore, I’m considering moving my focus from Smashing Four to do more regular Castle Crush videos.

Would you like Smash Therapy Gaming to start uploading regular Castle Crush videos? Please drop a like and leave a comment with your opinion.

Any and all feedback is much appreciated! I only ask that you keep it clean and friendly.

Thank you and enjoy the video!
