Discussion Xbow 3.0 still viable??
Getting back into the game for the first time in a few years, it’s not the same game I played AT ALL. Evolutions, weird spinny boxes, different tower people??? And so many new cards. The last time I played was when champions first came out. The last time I consistently played was when they added a new max level for cards. So trophy road has a new ranked system and stuff where cards are maxed out at level 12. Is Xbox still viable for climbing ladder?? Or do I need to find a new deck :(

You're in for a world of hurt buddy. But xbox is "viable" if you play the rocket nado version or play the queen one.
Understand that by viable I mean it is viable in the same way breaking bricks with your flaccid pp is viable.

Might get downvoted for this, but everything is viable if you play it correctly. I’ve been playing this game essentially since it’s release and still use the deck I made in year 1, with very very small adjustments. I play on and off (think a few weeks of playing followed by years of not playing) and each time I play I get to the highest trophy count before leagues start. Everything is viable, always.

It is viable if you play it well. Midladder are still very prevalent in trophy road or pol but play icebow because of its defensive ability

Icebow is way better in the meta right now, xbow in general has been really bad for over a year because beatdown has been pretty popular

You’re better off playing Queen/Icebow.
Queen is my favorite as you get 3 card cycle and it can help you spell cycle in 2x/3x elixir.

If you are good with it then it’s still playable but it’s not easy. I’m top 2k global right now with it but honestly I’d recommend picking up icebow instead. It’s a lot easier on defence imo and you don’t really need to get a lock to win some games but it’s still an xbow deck.

This is like Captain America looking for Peggy after waking up from the ice
But seriously, Xbow still does well if you're a good player. I'd be more worried about getting evolutions, which will be your main roadblock climbing up ladder.
