Vines
Just 2 months after Spirit Empress was released, Clash Royale is adding another new card!
Vines is the 121st card of the game; a 3-elixir Epic spell with a very powerful mechanic. Epic cards were already the most common rarity, and this addition increases their lead:
- Common cards: 29
- Rare cards: 30
- Epic cards: 33
- Legendary cards: 21
- Champion cards: 8
The card description of the new spell says the following:
Entangle the three highest hitpoint troops or buildings in the area, stunning them while doing damage. If the troop is in the air, they'll ground them.
Don't worry, they'll grow on you!
Card Stats
Vines is a spell with the power to immobilize targets. Similar to the Freeze spell, this mechanic can be very useful both on offence and defence. You can stop attacking troops, giving you more time to deal with them, and you can also disable defensive troops to enhance your pushes. Trapped targets stop attacking while they are covered with vines.
The spell has a fairly limited range, with a radius of just 2.5 tiles, like Zap. This means it will be harder to catch multiple troops than with Freeze, which has 3 tiles of radius.
As the card description explained, Vines has a mechanic similar to Lightning due to how it finds the highest HP targets, which includes troops, buildings and even Crown Towers. But unlike with Lightning, the 3 targets are picked without delay, making it harder to block.
Comparing Vines with Freeze may be one of the best ways to understand its strengths and weaknesses.
| Card | Radius | Duration | Damage | Elixir |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vines | 2.5 | 2.5 | 405 | 3 |
| Freeze | 3.0 | 4 | 115 | 4 |
Meaning that Vines has:
- Smaller radius
- Shorter duration
- More damage, but to potentially less troops
- Cheaper elixir cost
Although less relevant, the mechanic of grounding flying troops is another difference. It may be useful against some archetypes with Balloon or Lava Hound, but flying win conditions don’t seem common enough to make this significant.
Lastly, let’s take a closer look at how Vines deals damage. Trapped targets receive a damage tick every 0.5 seconds for the 2.5 total duration, so 5 damage ticks in total. At tournament standard, this means 81 damage/tick to normal targets and 30 damage/tick to Crown Towers.
Compared to other spells:
| Spell | Damage | CT Damage | Elixir |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freeze | 115 | 35 | 4 |
| Earthquake | 243 | 159 | 3 |
| The Log | 268 | 41 | 2 |
| Arrows | 366 | 93 | 3 |
| Vines | 405 | 75 | 3 |
| Royal Delivery | 437 | - | 3 |
| Fireball | 688 | 207 | 4 |
The single-target damage is slightly above Arrows, meaning Vines will be able to kill medium-small troops like Firecracker and Princess. But this damage isn’t high enough to pair well with small spells to deal with "fireballies"; e.g.: Vines + The Log = 673 HP, which is less than Musketeer (721 HP).
