I want the supercell employees who decided the bandit icon change to be shot, hung from the same tree as decorations then burned. Then finally spread these ashes over their replacements so nothing happens like this ever again.

No it isn't, if you say any of these things you clearly don't play her often enough.

Mohammad Light was right.

When I first heard that Dark Prince would get a hero, I felt neutral about it. I thought that surely with him getting a nerf in the upcoming balance changes that it would mean his hero would be good enough to warrant this. Sadly after seeing gameplay of it I don’t think that’s the case.

Based on what I’ve seen I think that his ability will be in a similar state to how the hero Musketeer ability is: that it’ll only be viable/usable in cases where you’re already winning.

Versus cycle decks it won’t get a lot of value thanks to the massive amount of control they have, not even taking into account the building they use. Versus more heavier decks such as Beatdown and Bridgespam the potential damage of the rhino ability will not be worth the elixir deficit you’ll get.

The Dark Prince without the ability to dash is just not threatening, a lot of his strategies and strengths come from him being able to dash. As Abdod would say in his video showcasing him he’s just “the guy”

Any argument that says he is good ignores the fact you have to spend 7 elixir and be in an already favorable situation and match up to maybe get value out of him. In place of the Hero Dark Prince you could use a different hero whose ability isn’t as niche and expensive. Or even an evo that’ll come to no extra cost to you elixir wise.

Even hero giant as bad as people like to clown on it has some uses that change the game such the obvious punching away threats to him in order to clear up offense or using it on defense for emergencies.

I like the design of the card, I think it’s cool. I’ve used dark prince for a long time in giant beatdown and bridgespam decks before. But I don’t think this hero is worth buying pass or using 200 hero fragments on. This isn’t even mentioning the fact they removed the knockback of the rhino that it had originally, though it is understandable. His ability is too expensive and niche and they are nerfing his base form which only makes him more reliant on a redundant ability and hurts f2p players in the long run.
