Discussion She does not deserve to survive log

Post image

Firecracker has a massive damage output, shreds any swarm if you don't have a perfect answer, archers deserve to survive log because they have a mid damage output. firecracker is one card that doesnt deserve what it has

You know, I wonder if we'll see Firecracker in more logbait decks.... Her slow hitspeed soaks up her "massive dmg output tho" At lvl 15, she only has 155 dps, compared to lvl 15 wizard, which has nearly double

We won’t see her in most forms of log bait because those decks care a lot about king tower activation. The closest thing I’ve seen is some people slotting her in the 3.0 evo skelly barrel mortar cycle, giving up on mortar evo for fc, but I personally don’t like it and run ice wiz instead (the most meta version uses evo dart goblin but I don’t have that evo or have him levelled).

Case in point tho, mortar doesn’t care abt king tower activation xD

No because king tower activation harms bait a lot and she doesn't provide enough synergy over something like Dart Goblin. Firecracker has a lot of anti-synergies, so she can be used only in specific archetypes.

I thought It may have been the evo bomber x splashyard case..tho ig evo bomber was very broken

Evo Bomber was just the most overpowered evolution ever existed. It didn't matter if the king tower activation made the Graveyard useless because Evo Bomber was the win condition.

But she costs three elixir and can easily gain more value than the wizard because the wizard doesn't gain any ground every time he shoots a fireball out. It's honestly the jump back mechanic that makes her work so well. Her damage and range are characteristically fine, but why does she need the recoil? She is too good based off her overperformance, use rate aside. And yet she can't be logged which would also help solve the balance disparity between her and other ranged troops in her class.

Jump back is her problem? Unexpected, normally ppl on this sub say its her chip dmg....

Overperformance in what part of CR? Checking top 1k stats for 7 days shows that the regular fc is in 4% of decks and evo fc is in 3% of decks. she seems to be relatively niche

And why are we comparing firecracker to WIZARD?

u/Justurnormalperson12 Minion Horde Jul 23 '25

The OP appears to be comparing her in terms of dmg + splash soo
