You are supposed to build up a push by cycling with 2 rg's by putting one in back although it is risky cuz sometimes you get predicted if you and the opponent place rg in back and x bow at the bridge resp, but the match is completely winnable since rg is a hard counter to his x bow although if he keeps up a great defense and fireball cycle you only then he wins in such a matchup
One RG in the back, then get through the other cards (cycling) by using them, and when the RG reaches the bridge you'll have another RG in hand to place
I’ve watched some of the best RG players play this matchup many times. Even though RG looks favored at first glance, it usually comes down to fireball cycling throughout the game. If both players play their decks optimally, it’s basically a 50/50 matchup. If he had rocket instead of FB, it was his to win for sure.
I’d respond with RG to his X-Bow if he played it in 1x elixir and make sure he gets no value from his fireballs early on, while I use my fireball to hit both the XBow and the tower. That way, my RGs get value on both defense and offense, forcing him to spend extra elixir on top of the XBow he already used. Also, gotta use barbarrel efficiently against the bow.
Checked with royaleapi, you have matchup at every skill level (at least below top 200 ladder), about 65:35 since opponent doesn't have hero knight but you have under-levelled fisherman and electro spirit. Cycling royal giants in the back is an important move to secure that matchup.
It's not as match up as u'd think, X bow with rocket or any other variation is easy 70 30 for RG but the fireball one becomes v close 55 45 especially cuz ur using royal ghost over monk which is kinda bad for u in this match up and his evo archers will melt ur rg and u can only fireball em and if u fireball em then the tesla skele full counters ur rg, meaning u don't ever easily get into a good cycle and in 3x elixir opponent can start stacking x bows, ur ghost is invisible and that is huge cuz it allows x bow to lock quicker, also that log knockbacks ur rg allowing skele to dps it and then e spirit to further stunlock ur rg allowing skele to further dps and Congrats u've cycled to another x bow and tesla
Am 10.7k and have won this from x bow side so I can assure u it ain't that bad, Giant minipekka on the other hand is kinda like a nightmare
U prob have mu because it isn’t the highest rank, but i do think that if both players play perfectly xbow ends up winning. You can’t get really out archers unless you fireball and ur card levels probably played a small but not game changing factor.
Evo archers should be the greatest threat in matchup. If they start placing buildings pressure with rg or else they’ll fireball cycle you. Don’t recklessly rg into their archers, because if you’re in a bad cycle, your version of deck doesn’t have monk to bail you out of everything. However, play smart and you should have a small advantage and try to punish every fireball they throw
With barb barrel is actually a bad matchup. If the opponent knows how to play this game, he will not play offensive bows and go with spell cycle. The difference is that he will always do that cheap damage with log that you can’t do with barrel
at the highest levels you have to fireball cycle as soon as you can. the entire match is just fireball cycling for both sides as much as either can get away with. if theyre good enough you wont get an RG connection.
What is bro talking about 😭, Mohammed light said 3.0 x bow has matchup against rg ghost, there isn't much information that could be misinterpreted there, you just said a whole bunch of nothing

Thanks
Np but rg is a great deck ngl
What do you mean build a push by cycling? Just curious
One RG in the back, then get through the other cards (cycling) by using them, and when the RG reaches the bridge you'll have another RG in hand to place
It not only if he has log then its full mathcup
Log? This is a meta deck actually which runs barb barrel to snipe down building when placed properly.

Yup you should have won.
How? Attacking against two buildings kinda overwhelmed me. I felt like i need to save my rg for xbow defense and never had an offensive move
rg is a hard counter to xbow, he should ideally never get damage unless they are fb cycling
so they prolly played amazing defense and had a faster fb cycle than you
Bro your deck literally counters xbow 😭 it's a skill issue unfortunately.
They are literally asking how to win. No shit it's a 'skill issue'
Are you stupid? I literally asked for advice. Your profile pic truly reflects your character
It doesnt lol. Unless you are 8k trophies this is a very hard matchup matchup for rg
U prob have mu because it isn’t the highest rank, but i do think that if both players play perfectly xbow ends up winning. You can’t get really out archers unless you fireball and ur card levels probably played a small but not game changing factor.
No such thing as a fair matchup nowadays. It’s a dice roll between having a reasonable game.
Or getting totally annihilated and rethinking your life.

i would say one of the most equal mu's. 50/50 but micros can be little harder for xbow
Nah bro his e spirit was higher level than yours, clear level diff
I played both for some time, you are one of hardest xbow counters.
at the highest levels you have to fireball cycle as soon as you can. the entire match is just fireball cycling for both sides as much as either can get away with. if theyre good enough you wont get an RG connection.
I make sure to start fireball cycling early and make sure to keep even elixer so I always have a RG for x bow in single and sometimes double.
Matchup is on xbow's favor. It is very hard to win against a good xbow main
X bow has matchup
bro what 😭😭
Yeah most people think rg just automatically counters x bow, doesn't work like that though
...
X bow defends the entire game and can cycle fireballs on the tower faster
Salty midladder take on X bow ngl
You better at least have a top1k finish to call me midladder lol
Thank god I’m just calling your take midladder, not you, eh?
I guess Mohammed light drops midladder takes too then huh, he said x bow has matchup
No, I think you’re just either spewing them out incohesively or you don’t evaluate and interpret information given to you before adapting it yourself
What is bro talking about 😭, Mohammed light said 3.0 x bow has matchup against rg ghost, there isn't much information that could be misinterpreted there, you just said a whole bunch of nothing
Ah so you were referring to his deck with “entire game”, so it’s the incohesive part
Maybe on top ladder, but overall this is probably the second best matchup for RG after Hog cycle
I’m not sure how your RG’s are melting away, the only high dps in the opponents deck is EVO archers, this is absolutely your matchup
