My First Castle Crush Live-stream!

My First Castle Crush Live-stream!

Published: December 10th, 2018

Thank you for checking out Smash Therapy Gaming‘s first-ever Castle Crush Live-stream!  I apologize to everyone who joined our stream early and had to sit through the audio issues (mainly the echo)!  I trimmed the effected portion of the video in YouTube’s editor, so hopefully it will resolve the issue.

However, if you are watching the recording of this stream and there is an echo (within the first 20 min) please skip to 21:53 to move past it!  I fixed the problem and any future live-streams will not have any audio issues.  Thank you for understanding!

In today’s Smash Therapy Gaming live-stream, we will be playing Castle Crush!  I recently obtained several new cards, including 4 brand new legendary cards: Vampire, Storm Elemental, Dark Angel and Dragon!  However, I haven’t really had a chance to practice or play with these new cards.

Since many of you have been requesting for me to start doing Castle Crush live-streams, I figured I would give it a shot and do my very first live-stream while I practice playing with some of my new cards!

My First Castle Crush Live-stream!

I personally had a great time during this stream and I’m pretty sure everyone who stopped by was entertained (at the very least) and enjoyed the show.  Special thank you to Kumar, silvertoungue, Rey Griffin, Mephin Anto and everyone else who stopped by!  You guys are amazing and I’m very happy with the overall turnout and stream quality.  I look forward to doing another stream very soon, possibly tonight (Dec. 11th) and look forward to seeing you all again!

I’d also like to shout out OrbitGuy and Fluizot!  These guys are amazing Castle Crush content creators!  They have both been a huge influence on me and also helped inspire my decision to start uploading my own Castle Crush content.  So thank you OrbitGuy and Fluizot!  Go check out their channels and subscribe.  Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

If you have any tips or strategies please share them in the chat and/or comment section! Any feedback would be very much appreciated as always! Thanks for watching and stay on the lookout for future Smash Therapy Gaming Castle Crush Live-streams!

Castle Crush Update! (w/ Chest Opening!)

Castle Crush Update! (w/ Chest Opening!)

Published: December 9th, 2018

In today’s Castle Crush update video I am going to discuss my recent progression to Castle 8!  I will discuss which cards and decks worked best for me while in Castle 7 and I will also discuss some of the mistakes I made, in order to help the viewer avoid doing the same thing.  Then we will celebrate my entry into Castle 8 by heading over to my Castle Crush store and purchasing some of the newly available Castle 8 chests!

For more Castle Crush chest opening videos check out: MASSIVE Castle Crush Chest Opening and Chests on Chests! (Part 2).

First, we will take a look at the deck that I used most recently that eventually helped me gain entrance to Castle 8.  I will talk about the cards that worked best and also discuss some of the issues I faced with balancing my rush deck.

Then, I will discuss some of the mistakes I made while in Castle 7 and how they effected my game-play and overall progression.  I will then discuss how I eventually corrected these mistakes and how you can do the same.

Castle Crush Update! (w/ Chest Opening!)

I am sharing these mistakes with you, in hopes that you can avoid making them and hopefully reach Castle 8 quicker than I did (and with much less rage and depression).

Finally, we will head over to my Castle Crush store and buy a few Castle 8 Great chests with the gems I saved from my last Castle Crush chest opening video. This round of chest opening was actually pretty good, as I managed to obtain 3 epic cards from Castle 8 Great chests, one of which is a brand new epic card that I have been hoping to get for a long time: the Angel!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my recent Castle Crush update! I will be back soon with a brand new Castle Crush game-play video!  So stay tuned!

Thanks for watching!

Castle Crush – Giant Spectres!

Castle Crush – Giant Spectres!

Published: December 7th, 2018

In today’s Castle Crush gameplay video, I will be showing you some of the biggest Spectres ever!  I have been running a little experiment for the past few weeks, trying to find the best method for growing enormous Spectres in Castle Crush and the results are pretty crazy!

This video will feature 4 of the biggest, strongest, most insane Spectres I’ve ever grown, including one Spectre that is hands-down the absolute most powerful troop I’ve ever seen since I started playing Castle Crush!

What is the biggest Spectre you have ever spawned?  What about the biggest you’ve ever played against?  Let me know in the comment section!  I am curious to know where exactly my particular giant Spectres stand.

Castle Crush – Giant Spectres!

Some viewers have been requesting for me to upload more Castle Crush game-play videos, so I figured I would upload this one first and start things off with a bang!  Let me know if you enjoyed the video and if you have an idea or a topic you would like to see me cover in an upcoming Castle Crush game-play video, please let me know in the comment section!

Want to check out even more amazing Castle Crush game-play videos?  Then head over to Smash Therapy Gaming’s official YouTube channel!  I post new Castle Crush content on a very regular basis (at least 3 new Castle Crush videos each week)!

Still not enough Castle Crush content for you?  You can also check out more Caste Crush videos over at OrbitGuy or Gaming Viking on YouTube!

MASSIVE Castle Crush Chest Opening!

MASSIVE Castle Crush Chest Opening! (w/ Legendary Drop!)

Published: December 4th, 2018

Today’s Castle Crush chest opening video is easily the most MASSIVE one I’ve done yet!  In this particular chest opening video, I will open every Castle 7 chest, including: multiple Great Chests, a few Magical Chests and even a Castle 7 Mythical Chest that resulted in a Legendary card drop!

You can check out Smash Therapy Gaming‘s most recent Castle Crush chest opening video at this link: Chests on Chests! (Part 2)

Since I’ve been away for a couple weeks, I’m going to start the video by giving you a brief update on my recent Castle Crush progression.  I will quickly go over my current trophy count, my entrance to Castle 7 and the AMAZING new deck I’ve been using, that helped me jump over 500 trophies in just a day or two!

Once I’ve finished updating you on my in-game progression, we will jump into the MASSIVE Castle Crush chest opening portion of the video!  We will begin by opening a few Castle 7 free chests.  Then we will bang out the Castle 7 Silver and Gold chests I currently have in my inventory.

After we are finished with the smaller chests, we will go ahead and bounce over to my Castle Crush store and begin opening some of bigger chests!  I will start things off by opening 4 or 5 Castle 7 Great Chests in a row.  Once the Great Chests are out of the way, we will open two Castle 7 Magical Chests.

Finally, we will spend 3700 gems to open the ‘mother’ of all Castle Crush chests: the Mythical Chest!  This particular Castle 7 Mythical Chest was amazing and quite possibly the best Mythical Chest I’ve opened to-date!

MASSIVE Castle Crush Chest Opening! (w/ Legendary Drop!)

Not only did it include 17 ‘Boneyard’ and 402 ‘Skeleton Swarm’ cards (one of my favorites) but it also included a Legendary card: Vampire!  I am very happy about this Legendary card drop because I’ve been wanting to upgrade my Vampire ever since I got her.  So, in the final segment, we will head over to my collection where we will take a look at all the new cards I obtained and I will upgrade my Vampire to level 2!

I hope you had as much fun watching this video as I did creating it!  My Castle Crush chest opening videos always seem to do well and as long as you all keep enjoying and requesting them, I will keep uploading them.

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

Thanks for watching!

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!

Castle Crush Hollow Knight UNLOCK!

Castle Crush Hollow Knight UNLOCK!

Published: November 26, 2018

In today’s Castle Crush video, I will be unlocking a brand new Legendary Card: Hollow Knight!

I have been hoping to get the Hollow Knight for quite some time, as he is one of the most powerful legendary cards in Castle Crush.  He is one of the few cards that I felt my Rush Deck was missing, so I was very happy to see him pop up in my store for 40k gold.

Hollow Knight’s high stats (172 ATK / 1823 HP) and low cost (only 4 mana) make him a very good fit for most Castle Crush Rush Decks and he is certainly a great addition to my personal Rush Deck.  Check out this video on Rush Deck Killers for methods of defending your castle against opponents that use Rush Decks!

Castle Crush Hollow Knight UNLOCK!

In this episode, we will first unlock Hollow Knight in my Castle Crush store.  Then, we will head over to my collection and check out his stats and analyze his ability.  Finally, I will add him to my current Rush Deck and take him into battle!

(Check out this video on my first Legendary Drop Archer Queen!)

It appears that Hollow Knight is indeed going to be a great addition to my Castle Crush card and I’m very happy to have gotten the chance to unlock him.

However, since doing so, I’ve also had the opportunity to unlock a few more legendary cards and will be posting videos on them in the near future! So, be sure to stay tuned for more legendary card videos coming soon!

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

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!

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!

Insane Mana Ritual Rush Deck! (Daily Crush #4)

Insane Mana Ritual Rush Deck! (Daily Crush #4)

Published: November 12th, 2018

Today’s Castle Crush video, will be the 4th episode in our new series: Daily Crush!  In this episode we will look at an INSANE Mana Ritual / Extra Crystal / Black Knight rush deck, that helped me manage to go on a 10+ game winning streak!

Check out our previous video: ‘Is Mana Ritual Good?!’ for more information about Mana Ritual and our initial impression upon unlocking it.  At first, I was thinking that it wasn’t very powerful and I was actually rather disappointed when I noticed it’s “limitations” based on card level.

However, I eventually figured out exactly how Mana Ritual works and I put together a killer rush deck that utilizes it in combination with ‘Extra Crystal’ and a Black Knight, as well.  With this rush deck I was able to win well over 10 games in a row and jump approximately 300+ trophies as a result!

Insane Mana Ritual Rush Deck! (Daily Crush #4)

After we examine best way to incorporate Mana Ritual into a rush deck we will look at a killer combination that I personally use in my current deck.   There are plenty of Castle Crush deck tips, strategy and overall awesomeness in this episode of Daily Crush, so be sure to stick around ’til the end of the video!

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

Daily Crush – Episode 2 (Castle Crush)

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!
