In Clash Royale, the underdog Wizard card is having a moment. User kenthecake made a claim that there needs to be a rework of the Wizard, specifically a reduction from 5 elixir down to 4, and the Clash Royale community had some reactions!
Summary
- Users argue that the Wizard, a long-time staple but currently sidelined, needs a reboot to compete.
- Most agree; however, concerns were raised about the Wizard usurping or falling behind other cards.
- A common sentiment was that an evolution could make the Wizard viable again.
The Elixir Dilemma
Instead of addressing the Wizard’s status, many have proposed simply changing its elixir cost. Just as spain_ftw suggests, ‘Either 4 elixir so it competes with musketeer or 6 elixir so it competes with sparky somehow.’
However, others recognize potential pit-falls. As laid out by Snoo96346, a 4-elixir Wizard might just become a short-lived baby dragon. A femtosecond of fame before fizzling out, maybe?
My Kingdom for an Evolution.
Then there’s the rallying cry for good ol’ evolution! It has been known to go beyond beating around the bush to present practical solutions. Onion_Slicer134 was quick to point out, ‘I’m just waiting for his Evo. Barbs weren’t that good before theirs but now they’re good and I hope wizard has the same treatment’. Sounds like Onion_Slicer134 wouldn’t mind a twist in the tale!
The Clash Royale Profit Motive
Did someone say making money? That’s the last great trick up this debate’s sleeve. Just as RauxaMetode points out, the Wizard probably won’t ever receive an upgrade. because it’s already popular among mid-level gamers attempting to max out their self-worth (in Elixirs, of course).
To rework or not to rework, that is the question. But hey, even our Wizard likes a fiery debate. If nothing else, this clash has shown that Clash Royale is more than just a game. It’s a melting pot where balance, strategy, evolution and financial intrigue make sweet, chaotic music together. Quite likely, the Wizard wouldn’t have it any other way.
