Elixir Collector in Clash Royale is the only card that doesn't directly engage in combat nor directly support any other card. You simply spend elixir on it and it generates elixir. Doesn't sound very interesting initially, but this card fundamentally breaks the rule of elixir generation, leading to it creating a major impact.

    99% of pump players give up right before their opponents stop having spells

    Elixir collector is funny cuz instead of being an attacking or defensive thing, its an economy card, so it just does its own thing, tho it getting nerfed out of existence is pretty sad

    Naaah bro is going to speak 40 minutes about a building just sits there 😭😭
  • @joshuashaw2923
    I haven’t even played CR in years and I still love this

    As a golem pump main i think the last pump nerf was bad for the card, it just killed it, the reason why it got suddenly broken is because of dagger duchess release, which allows you to safely pump up and still be able to defend if opponent tries to pressure, dagger duchess was hella broken at that time. One thing that made pump even worse is the void being a thing. I think even the unnerfed pump wouldn't be that broken anymore now because dagger duchess got many nerfs and void being super popular.

    Me who never touched the game after the first few months it was out: HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO MY BOY PUMP?!?!? 😡😡

    5:39 That Musketeer really really really did not want to be born at that time yet.
  • @dangerchickendc8192
    An evolution idea for it could be adding some kind of turret to the top of it, making it into a defensive option

    Clash Royale went into a weird path after i stopped playing in 2019, so refreshing seen your videos and seeing the old "tournment lvl" cards, as far as i remember my first legendary was Ice Wizzard from the daily wooden chest, good time :')
  • @konradvas8674
    Man, I've watched every single card "documentary" and I've loved all of them. I'ts so interesting and nostalgic every time. I don't think I've used the collector ever other than like in draft matches, and I watched the whole thing without skipping even a second. That's a big word from me, I have an attention span of a 5 year old iPad kid. Overall, please never stop making these!

    Gratz's voice is so great just listening to it. Playing Minecraft and listening to 40min of Elixir Pump history just feels right.
