Miner Sparky aka STEAMPunk Is Back!
Howdy, my dear Clashers! Frisk here with another FRISKY deck guide! The deck I’m about to show you is just a fun type of deck, could be used in Challenges or even 2v2, but I don’t think it has any ladder potential.
And, like promised, it has CANNON CART! Let’s get right into it!
Miner Sparky Deck
The Cards
Miner: Your primary win condition and meatshield.
Deals insane amounts of chip damage to enemy towers.
Used to be a stronger card in the olden days, because most players would ignore a Miner, as it only deals “minor” damage (Get it?! Haha). Nowadays, people go crazy when they see an incoming Miner, because they know trouble looms ahead.
Sparky: She boasts a large iron coil and wheels of wood, dealing huge area damage after charging up for 3 seconds!
She is your threat card, NOT a win condition! I repeat, DO NOT use Sparky as a win condition. Doing so will cause you to lose the match.
Now, I don’t like this card, but as a former Sparky user, I believe that Sparky does need a slight buff to make her a better card. #MakeSparkyGreatAgain
Flying Machine: The Flying Machine is the Master Builder’s first gift to the arena!
It’s a decently fast, agile machine. Deals about as much damage as a Musketeer, but also very fragile.
What makes up for all its current defects, though, is its insane range, at this moment being the longest glass cannon range! It can snipe and take out various defensive buildings, especially Inferno Tower.
Elixir Collector: Self-explanatory.
Aids your elixir generation so you can build up monstrous pushes in no time at all!
Just remember, lots of risk is involved in playing the Elixir Collector.
Poison: Glass cannon demolisher, tower finisher, predictive spell- this card does it all.
Remember to always poison those pumps, and try to gain as much spell value as possible.
Can be a real game changer when facing that max level Royal Pain or P.E.K.K.A.
Cannon: Shoots cannonballs that deal a pretty good amount of damage per blast.
Can’t take out building exterminators on its own, but with the help of other troops, it can stop any push.
Like glass cannons, it’s fragile, and can die to most spells easily.
Overall, a great, cheap alternative to the popular Inferno Tower. Overleveling is actually recommended.
Electro Wizard: He lands with a POW, stunning all who dare to stand near.
Then he continues to impress by targeting TWO at a time! What a show off!
Since his introduction in the Electro Wizard Challenge, he has been a popular choice in many decks.
He is a great all around card that can adapt to almost any deck and fit in any situation.
His spawn Zap makes him a great utility card, and he can stall many cards, especially the Inferno Tower (a popular tank shredder).
Battle Ram: CHAAAARRRRGE!!
The Battle Ram consists of two Barbarians holding a large log, dealing significant damage if they connect to a building.
The fun doesn’t stop there though…the mean men keep it up by enhancing destruction with their swords!
It’s my favorite Rare card, as well the win condition of my deck, LumberRam!
Replacements
General Gameplan
Single Elixir Time:
Start the match with a lone Miner at your opponent’s tower.
Don’t use Poison right away, because you never know if they’ll Pump up or drop a Glass Cannon that could have scored you a value spell. Otherwise, it’s just a wasted Posion.
Defend enemy pushes with all that you have available (Sparky, Flying Machine, Cannon, etc.).
A little-known fact is that Battle Ram works great on defense, stalling many heavy hitters or as a distraction for high damage supports.
Halfway through this time, you should have a general idea of what your challenger’s deck is and how he plays.
Try to get as much Miner+Poison damage as possible, because the other cards in this deck aren’t guaranteed hits like the Miner.
Double Elixir:
Time to PUMP UP!
Because this is a Beatdown sort of deck, you will greatly benefit from the added elixir.
Now’s the time when things get real FRISKY!!!
Don’t be afraid to plop that Sparky down, so your foe will have double the trouble to worry about.
A Sparky on one lane, and a Miner+Poison/Battle Ram+Poison push on the other? You’ll have him panicking as he decides which one to counter, because both pushes are not to be ignored.
Keep on adding support to all your pushes, be it Flying Machine or Electro Wizard (the only two options, really).
Flying Machine can single handedly take out most defensive buildings if placed correctly, ensuring safe travels for your Battle Ram
Matchups:
Hog Rider:
Cannon to pull the Hog and E-wiz/Flying Machine to help take it out. Opposing Electro Wizards are gonna be a big problem here, and Rockets are no good for Sparky. Be prepared to counter whatever comes your way
Golem:
Sadly, you’ll have to rely on Sparky if you have the hopes of stopping this big fella. Use Cannon to distract as long as you can, and pretty much whatever’s available for defense for the support. Mega Minion or Baby Dragon will be a pain to deal with.
Giant:
See Golem (though not as common in the current meta)
P.E.K.K.A:
See Golem. You’ll most likely be going for the draw, unless you can pressure them so bad that they lose focus.
Bait:
You’re going to struggle. Though it uses cheap units for defense, a quick elixir cycle (meaning your opponent can have a constant stream of these units ready) makes up for it. Inferno Tower’s going to be a massive pain to deal with. Try to find a way to outcycle it. Rocket will be a problem, too.
Graveyard:
Flying Machine will be your best friend. Destroy their tanks with Sparky. Just watch out for Poison….
Elite Barbarians:
Sparky will clean em up like Clorox kills germs…or Battle Ram could do the trick as well.
Well everyone, that sure was fun! This is the end of my 3rd deck guide! I hope you’ll give this deck a whirl in the arena, and have lots of fun while doing so.
This is Frisk Dreemurr, saying Good Luck and Clash On!
Stay Determined!
Frisk <3
1st
dangit
Rip m8
wait wot. when
First time that i’m first without notifications
First reply! NO ONE CLAIMED XDDDDDDDD
yup, Will got rid of the first bot for sure
No man i’m too fast for him
fasf as FK boii
haha jaa
not claiming, first is still free. go fight for this
2nd
claim first :p
it already claimed, genius!
it’s not, check my comment
I claimed 1st
cool, proud of you
The ewiz, tesla, lightning and sparky got touched, you could say this balance update was quite SHOCKING… okay i’ll stop…
would’ve been more shocking if zap got a change lol
xD
Come on dude
Lol i had to i’m sorry
I really like the Sparky buff….
or I guess it’s a rework
yeah, i agree
I think sparky should have s stun effect after firing like most other electric-type cards
that wouldn’t make it any better since most things would be dead and it takes so long to shoot it won’t matter.
Yeah. It would only matter against tanks, but it wouldn’t do much
this mechanic might be op for sparky
3rd?
Yes
i see the hardcounter for this. Minion Horde!
Poison?
Poison needs 3 ticks to deal with Horde, it’s enough time for them to deal with Sparky and Cart
Smart
maxed minion horde is one of my worst nightmares, even my ARROWS cant kill them
Poll: the first quest you finished? mine is win 3 matches with miner GY
Still didn’t updated :*
that sucks
yaaaaaaaaayy mine isdonate 4 rares
i havent finished one yet, i got get 40 crowns in touchdown, use 1 common card 60 times in 1v1, and win 5 2v2 battles
Oh wow those take some time
yea i got unlucky
I got mineryard win 3 times, use a atleast 6 elixir card 30 times, (now at 20) and get40 crowns in touchdown
and apparently the 1v1 thing meant ladder matches (ugh)
Yeah that’s a part of the goal for quests: to get more people play ladder
at my personal best at 3447, got there with my log-bait deck, i didnt want to risk going back to 3200
You know, just go for it, it won’t help staying there, instead battle, get better and even higher
im now at 3503
Oh wow nice
Haven’t finished but youre lucky
Collect 100 cards.
Donate 40 cards
fourth
5th nice guide
ahhhh snap
too heavy too heavy too heavy….I would never use a miner poison deck this heavy lol xd
yeah. expensive chip decks just wouldnt work out
well, is unexspected , so if u first miner poison and then start heavy pushing on 2 elixer,u might have the element of surprise
IF its a miner chip deck it probably wont work. But if its a deck implemented with miner in it then i guess its fine
Holy sht the avg elixir is like 4.5 or something crazy like that
well at least this has an e. pump lol
well done dude
*dudette maybe? I feel like frisk said something about being a girl…eh don’t remember
dudette sound….intressting
Double trash can on wheels deck amiright.
lol jk
sparky is still gonna be a trashcan
eh, nope
No matter how good the trashcan is it is still a trashcan
Sparky is not a trash can. Sparky is gud. Sparky is god. Sparky is extremely fun. What’s not to love?
sparky needs more buffs lmao
no
It’s getting semi buffed.
You forgot about the dart goblin, technically a glass cannon.
No i didnt
It is a glass cannon
isnt considered a glass canoon
It’s a glass machine gun
yah
….I tried, guys….I was bored… dont judge me :'(
Who in their right mind would EVER think the Ebola Barbs would be a viable sub for a SPARKY?!?
Lol
same
but whenever you thnik about it they both have high damage weak to rocket are good at killing big pushes and weak to swarms but are good at countering them
triggerd..
Dude… Sparky IS getting semi-buffed.
Damage -15%, Charge time lowered by 1 sec
There shouldn’t be any damage decrease just the hit speed imo.
overal DPS was buffed, at lvl 1, it used to be 260, now the DPS is 275
love the sparky buff though. u a big sparky player?
eh…
oh….. eh
not everyone is like u
wak wak
sorry….
….
No judgement. BTW, is it supposed to be cannon or cannon cart in this deck?
looks like im gonna make a guide on my current deck
I am too, but @Will Potter just won’t post my F2P Logbait! Probably busy…
He doesn’t have to post all of your guides
i remember my first didnt get posted…
which deck?
my variant of log-bait
oh
sounds dissapointed
Yup tsk tsk
girls….
same…
We just got a bait guide…
Am I the only person who’s royale update wouldn’t show in App Store? Can someone help?
Use the refresh function dude
The new casual challenge is broken! Its a ten crown challenge and I was at nine crowns. Then I got a three crown and my meter extended to 12 going of the screen. I got the basic rewards and I unlocked the achievement for 12 wins and got the gems and on my profile it says my best is 12 wins even though my real best is 11
Oh wow
I’m glad I got the achievement b4 they got rid off em
Haha lol
I had to get my first twelve wins in the Legendary challenge 🙁
My first 12 win was a classic challenge with Surgical Goblins ESWC Royal Giant Furnace Lightning deck
Yuck
at least it was challenges, ladder would be a whole different story…
My first twelve was Triple Elixir Challenge 😀
same here 🙂
although i’m not complaining 🙂
i had a situation like that, but i got 11 crowns
rip me with a 11-3 life
This deck NEEDS a Zap or Log! Also NEEDS a tank killer (Sparky won’t suffice).
I was thinking of making a machine themed deck… nice guide and really cool deck!
Hmmm… So something like Flying Machine, Cannon Cart, Sparky, Mini Pekka, Tesla, etc?
Yeah pretty much.
imo u need a cheap spell in this deck like zap/log
maybe instead of battle ram (or cannon cart) because there’s already a lot of threats
Sparky is so much stronger. Today i hit 4008 trophies
i wish i have sparky, that way I might make a gskel sparky deck
That’s what I use!
do you use tornado then?
Of course. With both Sparky and Giant Skeleton, it’s almost necessary to have tornado
oh wait, it says sparkNADO ftw… thats a neck for me lol
Dear Frisk, Love the new Sparky, it’s just I think that a Zap/Log would be better in the deck instead of Battle Ram since Miner Poison is enough offence. Looks like a fun deck though!
no. Sparky will never be back. If she ever comes back, beatdown is going to die…
Sparky was never in the meta doofus. How can it come back? It would be the first time being in the meta
remember me? upvoted after being roasted
Sparky is coming into the meta lol
Noooooo
I use sparky
