Mega Minion is like that card you forgot existed until you saw your enemy use it in midladder.

This dude has a whole 1 terabyte hard-disk of supercell clips and videos 🗿
Never thought it about it until now. He probably has more footage then that “homework” folder a teenager has.
Mega minion has been and always will be my favorite troop in clash royal, it's so satisfying watching it kill a troop and it's always been so consistent
it is a flying mini pekka. can't hate it. just wish it either had some more damage or some more speed.
Is bro copying comments?
The most satisfying is seeing mega minion chasing the balloon / giant till it reaches princess tower
@@jcs3146 nope! I posted this not long after the video came out I was just showing my love for this unit!
I love how i don't even play the game but this videos are really good
Play it then
Stay away from it at all costs
Good, continue watching and don't play it.
@optic9065 I agree with this comment me and my homies have such a gross relationship with this game😂
I went back, found that i can get my old account that i had been using since the first season of CR, saw my old lava hound deck, and tried it out. I gave up playing after a few matches.
The only true counter to the mega minion are cupcakes. Since the mother witch can bake good cookies, I’m definitely sure she can bake good cupcakes too!
Cringe

Pin this.
@Larry1631 if you think you are so cool then why do you have that cringe weakling larry profile picture?? I think you are just little Prince's little 🤓 brother cuz you sure sound like him 😂😂
Dagastan 🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇯🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇻
I didn’t remember the Mega Minion being so strong, so seeing it brought up as a big thing in other videos was a surprise. Cool that you made a video for it that explains it further
Stop commenting on youtube and get back to demon school
If am gonna be H.Onest it will alway be op yet balanced it just most player don't stay stuck in low ladder (like i did at some point)
mega minion was my favorite card design wise, it just looked so cool, i first saw it in 2016 and still today, its one of my favorite cards due to how reliable it is
I get why people like it's design, but it's just a armor with wings :/
@@Flepit Some people like simplicity,just seeing a fatass minion with armor looks cool enough to me
This is amazing, about 20 minutes ago I was looking for a Mega Minion video from you and was kinda disappointed it existed yet
I am so glad I managed to will it into existence
I think mega minion should get an evo. I'm thinking when the HP runs out, his armour comes off leaving him with a second form that has low HP but very fast movement and attack speed.
Nah personaly i think it should gain the range of an archer with low health chield make the evo 2 cycle ,keep the other stats the same AND VOILA BALANCED
I used to hate it when it was released because it felt too strong with giant (I remember the meta being giant poison) and it even could survive a Fire Ball.
They nerfed MM after that and since then it feels a pretty balanced card
I miss those good Ole days. Giant pushes. Not just random non skilled random 1 hit hog (who still needs to be 5 elixir) cycles for 6 years straight. nowadays everyone just plays firecracker. Who also needs to be either 4 elixir or die by log. Lastly, atleast during those days. We had draws. Which still I don't understand why they removed a whole deck arch type (draw heavy decks) to please those non skilled players.
@@blackheart4360 i agree with most of your comment, but hog is decently fair if firecracker would be balances. And draws were not a good thing. When i was actually tryharding i played xbow and either won, or played to a draw. Losses were so rare if you piloted the deck correctly
I can’t for the life of me use mega minion. I try, but the range nerf made it feel horrible to play. It’s also why I can’t really use Phoenix either
@@blackheart4360giant is no skill
@blackironwalterkus3851 you can kite with a giant. Also it's 5 elixir. Which is balanced. Hog rider gets a free random hit at start per game for 4. That's not balanced. once tiebreaker became a thing hog rider became worse to see.
It's always interesting to listen to how any change to a game with troop interactions domino's its way to affecting every other card in the game. I think that the sentiment about the mega minion is just as you described, unhated and balanced. Always look forward to new videos, as they make great background noise for while I'm playing clash royale.
Perfect timing, I actually looked the other day to see if you did a video on mega minion 😅
It's been so cool seeing your channel grow! I remember watching one of your first videos, and being astonished you only had a couple subscribers. Keep up the amazing content!
As a LavaLoon main who very recently came back to the game, I agree! This saved so much of my games, and I really wished I could bring two of this guy in my deck instead of the three arrowable minions.
For reference, my deck is: LH Balloon MegaMinion Minions Guards Tombstone Lightning Arrows.
Mirror might do you well, I'm not sure
@@xXBattle_Taco12Xx nah, i don't think so. maybe fireball instead of lightning though and idrag for minions
@@insertnamehere8577 I mean he did say he wanted two mega minions
2016 ahh deck (not bad, just an oldie)
@@xXBattle_Taco12Xx yeah, my bad, didnt see that. Thought u just wanted him to play mirror for some reason
Love watching your stuff bro please don’t stop making videos. I watch your vids when ever i sleep or wake up in the morning. I watched your E-Barbs vid like 4 times. ❤❤❤
Your very underrated bro, great content! I used to use golem with night witch, e dragon, dragon, mega minion, lumberjack, lightning and tornado
Mega minion is one of my favorite cards in the game I’m glad to see another video and a full breakdown on him
Another banger, thank you for all the work you put into these videos 🤘
I’d like to see a mini pekka history video! Thanks for making these videos I love them and keep making them!
7:29. Ah yes, the old rage
Forgot how big it was
Gratz. Мне нравится твои видео с историями карт, т. к. мне очень нравится когда уделяют по 10 минут на КАЖДУЮ механику. А ещё мне очень нравится капаться в истории. Но ты пошёл дальше и объединил эти вещи. Надеюсь, у тебя получится и дальше делать хорошие такие видео.
Beautifull video as always , next story baby dragon ?
Megaminion is a lovable guy he does his thing and doesn't let it get to his head. A shame he got power crept hard
I was just watching a clash royale card ranking and as it got to the mega minion I saw this on my recommendations HELL YEAH.
I don't play this game, I haven't since like at least 2018 or something. I don't really care about it either. But my god, the way you present all of this information, how you construct the whole narrative, it's so fucking appealing and interesting it's seriously amazing and infinitely commendable. Keep up the great work m8
Wake up mom new Gratz video is out
It's a realy good video. I would like to see a musketeer history next time.
Honestly got back to playing CR just because your videos make it feel less like a silly children's game and more strategic.
The whole thing about elixir trade advantage and such is really important. Thanks for the vids, fun and entertaining
Hey Gratz I love your videos and can you plz do a history of the knight or the royal recuts plz thank you 😊
My all-time favorite card is the furnace! I can't wait for you to cover the furnace/fire spirit!
Babe wake up Gratz posted
Never been a fan of clash royale, barely played it but its so interesting to see history of changes of the cards lmao, great vid
I JUST STARTED TO WATCH A VIDEO ABOUT MEGA MINION AND YOU POST THIS??????? UNREAL
"W-What? How did you know I was Kira?"
"Well you see, Light, your first mistake was surpassing the usage rate of the Log."
What is kira?
@@SlippyNips412 the guy from Death Note
Damn, can't believe Light Yagami killed more people than The Almighty Log.
I love the art on the mega minion’s card description it looks so menacing
Hey Gratz, can you do a vid on the goblin cage next?
btw, minions as a whole should be a short ranged, ranged card
Great video! Next you should show the history of golem!
Boiz, it's Movie Time!
(Love your content, just recently stumbled upon you, love it. Keep it up ❤)
Gratz is the Mossbag of Clash Royale
Not at all the comparison I'd expect but incredibly accurate
Mossbag's humor relies a lot more on long setups to be effective, and it's really good, but other than that, they're very similar.
35:24 "card rarities never change" Mini pekka: ....
Everybody knows that they only changed some rarities during the wonky 2016 quit playing 😂
@@IcycleBicycle I guess thats true, but still.
Could you do dart goblin next. Love your videos keep at it!
Request:how goblins SAVED clash royale
And history of mini pekka
Mega minion was and still is one of my favorite cards so thanks it was an awesome video
Like a lot of ppl here I dont even play CR anymore. Regardless I always anticipate a new vid from Brad or you!
im off acid and this video saved my trip thanks bro
Can you do a video about masteries? To me, it appears like supercell wants us to forget about them. They haven’t added tier 3 masteries to most troops, and in the past year they’ve nerfed rewards, taken away post-game stats and recently taken masteries out of the cards menu. Now the only way to see mastery progress is by the mastery button in the deck builder or in the troop badges, both of which aren’t sortable and thus, difficult to navigate.
I was there when mega minion first appeared and i love it. It's so unfair that mega minion was nerfed so much while the hog rider was everywhere.
100% agree. I hate hog rider. That and firecracker.
Thank you for uploading each video is a gem and even tho i dont play cr i like to watch videos you make and genuinly making my day.
Would love to see a video about the history of the baby dragon. He's also been a consistently balanced card and played his role perfectly.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, always enjoy watching
Bros story telling is so good it put me to sleep without me even realizing im asleep.I was sooooo confused when i woke up lol
I use mega minion in Gobgiant sparky, and man it is so consistent on defense for 3 elixir. Probably my favourite rare in the game. Speaking of which I'd love to see a gob giant video!
Lovely video. Someone should do History of CR to show how cards have changed.
gratz the goat keep up the good work :)
I’d really like to see a video about the history of the Rascals and/or Mother Witch. Despite the fact I haven’t played Clash Royale in years, I consider these two cards some of my favourites.
when you have plans to go out but Gratz drops another CR video
Honestly I’d be really interested to see a video like this going over the history of the Fisherman
To this day I still think a history of the skeleton troop would be interesting. Maybe NOT just the card specifically but every card the troop is in would be very interesting
Love how you put hollow knight greenpath music at one part
Do history of Splashyard/Graveyard. A card/deck midladder players think is underpowered, but top ladder players think is broken.
I am a consistent UC 2000~ medal player (definently not a "Top player") and i think that splashyard is not broken but its annoying cuz of the randomized behaviour of graveyard. Sometimes even if you poison it it will get like 5-6 shots which roughly means 650 damage.
Miner and drill is considered to be annoying for the same reason.
can we get a history of the lumberjack since it was ur previous icon and was my first legendary
Haven't played CR since level 14 was announced, but back in the day, Mega Minion was my BOY. That was back when giant mega minion was still a decent combo, and i just liked MM so much, i'd throw him into every deck.
Make a video about the tesla
btw love your videos so much ❤️
Love ur channel 😊
Great video, well done:)
Love your vids thx
I...I have no words, this video feels like a dream becoming reality. Will never thank you enough.
I would love like in 2-3 years having the History of like a tower troop x)
8:15
*Little Prince*
“Do I look like a joke to you?”
I personally always enjoyed using the Mega Minion, it feels extremely fun to use and acts as a very solid single-target high DPS air card. I'd say at some points in time, it could've been considered the most balanced card in the entire game. Sadly it's overshadowed by many other cards at this point and doesn't see too much use rate (mainly just Little Prince honestly), but I'll always love it!
I blame firecracker.
hi sk :)
@@pranavgadgeyo hey 😁
@@blackheart4360 i totally agree with u as a mega minion player
i would like to see a video like this about old fire spirits, when it used to be 3 spirits for 2 elixir drops
You should do a video on the dark Prince.
Dope video bro ty
Dude, I haven't seen the MM so much that I didn't even know that Monk reflected it's attack, and I've been playing since 2016💀
Sup man love your videos love to eat while watching em could you please make a vid about hunter i think he deserves it
meta minion 🗣🗣🔥🔥
btw can you do bomber next?
Can you do a video on which classic clash royale cards still hold up today? Beginning of clash - 2020?
I love this historical content it’s so engaging
The breath in those cards mean more than I thought!
Can you please make a video on the history of the mighty miner? He was a formidable troop before his speed increase (which broke the meta).
I noticed Hollow Knight music in the background and I'm not sure if it is intentional but as a big fan of the game i would definitely watch videos about the history of aspects of that such as charms , bosses etc.
Mega Minion is a perfect example of those “My Opponents Cards vs My Cards” Videos.
you should do the princes.(prince,dark prince)or the Hunter since he has an interesting history in my opinion.He is easily my favourite card
i still remember when we called this thing the “meta minion” because of just how broken it was at a time
Im curious if your ever gonna cover the tower cards
OH MY GOD HE MADE IT HOLY SHIT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR 7 MONTHS!!!
Mega minion was easily my favorite card on release, it was so reliable
18:04 THE EXAGGERATION I CANT😭
Can you do Ice golem it's my favorite card still to this day and i have played clash royale for 8 years.
Could you do a deep dive on the tesla history? Its very unique for a building. Able to hit both land and air, deals good single target damage, immune to spells if you dont have it targeting a unit, HAS AN EVOLUTION, and last a pretty good amount of time. I personaly hate this card for how good it is on defence, able to deal with all unit cards on its own outside of somthing like barbs.
Mega Minions is my favorite for how perfectly it does what it’s meant to, while also looking pretty cool. Deserves a buff tho, preferably to a melee instead of its range, especially considering that there’s melee troops (Pekka, Prince) that have longer range. This would at least allow it to work against Monk and Evo Knight
I would like to see a vid about the goblin-hut. Would be nice. :)
He already made one look at his channel
I like the sound Mega Minion does when you drop him
Would be so sick to see a Magic Archer vid
let’s GOOOO new UPLOADDDDD ‼️‼️‼️‼️
The little prince video in the future is gonna be crazy
Have you considered doing a video about what it would take to max out a deck/account over time? I feel like it would be an all encompassing sort of look back at the monetization of the game and feel like a sister video to your legendary history vid. Just spiralling but I think I'd love to hear your input on the matter as a relatively new CR player!
Hm another card that was 3 elixir and doesn't die to fire ball where have i heard that before
Knight
@@ToonPk-vk9oul ment little prince
Rework idea: Make the mega minion have two attacks and split the damage evenly between them. It would make the better at countering swarm and it wouldn't kill itself when against Monk. Maybe make the spit do damage and make the throw a slap. This might help it stand out a bit more and maybe compete with the pheonix a bit more.
Curious about the clone spell always used it but it was so weak
