Discussion [SPOILER!] Evolution Giant & Mirror Spoiler
NOTE: While not stated in the stats Evolution Mirror will make troop have +2 levels again!

My problem with mirror is people will probably cycle small elixir cards then use it to evo big cards. Imagine cycling spirts to get mirror evo then dropping double evo electro giants or something.

u/Deebyddeebys 1d ago
Imagine spending 2 elixir on a spirit

u/kiochikaeke 1d ago
Something like 3 Elixir Zap or 4 elixir goblin barrel, firecracker or dart goblin is doable cause they have great interactions with an extra level and then maybe having evo mirror pekka, mega knight or witch
16
u/Snoo-92859 Mini PEKKA 1d ago
If troop levels will also be +2 then that's be pretty strong. Log won't kill goblin barrel at 2 level difference. Level 18 goblin bush would melt a towers hp if connected.

Yeh. Wait… what if this finally makes ‘em make evos based on elixir spent, rather than cycles? Could be a good ‘nough of a reason to endure this for a while ngl.
If they finally do that crucial piece of balancin’ that is… Bein’ honest, they probably won’t n’ will I stress just nerf Mirror somehow. 🫤

Evo rage: your entire deck gets rage permanently.
The only counter to this deck is another deck called ragebait.

to be fair there isn't that much else they can do with evo mirror aside from maybe an extra on spawn effect

Then don’t make it holy shit not everything needs or has an evo

They said years ago evrey single card is getting an evolution. Your gonna have to learn to deal with it lol

It would get one eventually, you're complaining just to complain.
If the idea board was dry why not let them use an easy concept. Lets them focus on other things

Oh hell nah...Imagine having to defend 2 evo goblin barrels and the 2nd round is 2 levels higher

Or Skelly Barrels, Wall Breakers, Skarmy… Bait decks will have a field day with evo Mirror

I could only imagine skelly barrel with clone
But god dman gob barrel combo, put one real side, put the other real side. Goblin straught up might destroy tower

Evo mirror going to be a major problem with log bait decks, half that deck has evos to surprise with.

u/nzouvas 1d ago
Also you can now get two of the same evo on the board if you Evo mirror your cycled to evo, and heroes? Can you drop a hero knight and tank it with a evo mirrored evo knight? Going to be so broken, you literally need to play it next season to win anything

Evo Giant is so low effort. Even just having his first hit or two deal huge damage would be more fitting. Or, being the classic tower targeting troop, he could go for crown towers only and ignore other buildings.

u/alesia123456 Three Musketeers 10h ago
that’s a lot of the recent releases tbh
You can tell they focus way more on deadline delivery so ppl buy their passes than on thoughtful design

u/_3_and_20_characters 1d ago
im not even mad they giving mirror an evolution im just more dumbfounded theyre spending valuable time and money on a card theyve shown nothing but distaste for for damn near the entire games history, evo mirror is probably not going to be broken in any regard, but playing against it is going to be extremely obnoxious
7
u/Hol_Renaude Barbarian Hut 1d ago
That makes sense, since making evo or hero card is the only way to balance card outside of stats.
4
u/DjinnsPalace Royal Delivery 23h ago
I dont know if it will be broken, but it will only cause more balancing problems. They will likely kill the evo very fast

u/_3_and_20_characters 17h ago
hence why I bring up it being a waste of resources, they’re just throwing dev time into a hole at this point

u/BeginningAsleep Firecracker 1d ago
Not broken ? Lol do you play the same game as me ?
Mirror woth +2 level was one of the most broken card in the game, even if it's only for the evo you just have to imagine lvl18 evo pigs, lvl18 evo electro dragon or lvl18 megaknight (for midladder)
Barbarian are extremely trash but are play for the evo, it will be the same for mirror, you have basically 8 evo in ONE DECK
40
u/Choice-Brick-6612 1d ago
This doesn’t make sense. Mirror should be the last card to get an evo. This would be awkward since not every card even has an evo yet, making it essentially useless for some cards

Just don't use it on those cards then 💔

Bro thats sounds stupid lol so the evo just doesnt work on like half of the cards in the game??

u/202naFrevliS 1d ago
You obviously need to set up the deck to be viable with the evolved mirror you're not gonna slap it in just any random deck.

u/TooBad_Vicho 1d ago
you, the player, have the power to choose not to use evo mirror on a card without an evo

u/Choice-Brick-6612 1d ago
That’s stupid though.
Why release it now instead of when all cards have evos, so it can actually work as intended
I know you think you sound smart right now but no, that’s still stupid. They should’ve waited on this evo, full stop

you have to use the mirror and pigs itself if you do the calculation your spending more elixir then cycling the real evolution

u/DarkBlueFreeman 1d ago
Evo Mirror would only be effective with one of your cards tho, since it naturally takes up an evo slot
10
u/Melodic-Repair2418 1d ago
works for anything I believe, regardless if it's in the evo slot or not.

u/MrTheWaffleKing 1d ago
Yep... if you could fit it into 2.6, you get to mirror into an evo cannon or skellies or musky or ice spirit- maybe all them in one game if you're a madman

u/Editor1Oficial 1d ago
Except that you would choose that card during the game, not before. (That's without considering double same evolution)
1
u/DarkBlueFreeman 1d ago
What do you mean "without considering double same evolution"?
2
u/Editor1Oficial 1d ago
With the evolution mirror, you can choose your second evolution during the game instead of before playing, or you can select your first evolution twice in a row.

u/Lansha2009 Battle Healer 17h ago
Nope…if the card has an evo…Evo Mirror will summon the Evo.
So 2.6 can basically use Evo mirror on anything to make an Evo spawn in.

u/Material_Chart_8684 1d ago
Wait i don't get it, with mirror does this mean i can use a non evo card to get their evo form? (For example i dont have goblin barrel evo unlocked but if i cycled evo mirror i can get evo barrel?)
17
u/WesternUsed2750 1d ago
Yes it means if it currently has an Evo, regardless of ownership or slots, it will become an Evo

u/Material_Chart_8684 1d ago
Thats very good, actually a great way to try out evos before you buy them

u/Giulio1232 Royal Giant 1d ago
That is if you cycled the normal mirror twice which doesn't happen a lot in a normal match

Mirror decks tend to use cycle cards. It could happen quite a lot every match depending on the deck.

my guess is that there will be some sort of shockvember with evo sparky and hero zappies, then a new champion in december and these 2 evos (if theyre real). if not, then only the champion in december and two evos in january

u/Lebog_bruhh Musketeer 1d ago

the quality of the pics makes me believe its fake

u/RobiTv1234 Mortar 20h ago
Mirror always the most unbalanced card as always, but evo giant? I mean his hero is very good, but it isn’t completely necessary, though the evo seems to be very much in support of his gameplay style

u/Sonic1612 13h ago
The idea behind EVO Gigante is that it's like EVO BarbsElite but with WinCondition, meaning it only targets structures.

u/Downtown_Concern_746 16h ago
The mirror would not work. It would make the evo useless for cards without an evo, or they're reworking mirror to copy one of the cards in your deck. And that takes my mind to a dark place worse than any bait deck

u/ImMortal_SD Wizard 15h ago
It literally says mirrored card will get evolved "if the form exists" So I think it's intended.

Hope to see Evo Mirror being a really silly off-meta deck. Would be really funny to cheese with, would cry and kill myself if it becomes viable on top ladder

Evo mirror is a horrible idea, when the next evolution is broken the meta will genuinely be to mirror skeles twice or sm and plop down two of the broken evos at the same time

Mirror is broken even without +2 level. Imagine mirroring two spirits for a total of 4 elixir, before being able to put down any evo in the game. This legit means 1.5 cycle evos.

Just take the super giant from clash and give him higher building damage
So he would 2-3 tap an inferno and the first hit on any tower is double damage

The evo mirror was just a matter of time. The idea was always there but they needed to have a lot of evos in the game so the evo mirror isn’t useless.

What if a deck with evo mirror but other cards doesn't have evo at all? Like 2.6 hog rider. But instead musketeer, canon, skeletons, and ice spirit, you have mother witch, bomb tower, berserker, and electro spirit (they don't have evo). I wonder how evo mirror works with that
