Colin Liu

I'm Colin — a software engineer by day and a Clash Royale ladder grinder by night. I started playing in 2021 during a long train commute, got hooked on the elixir-trading mind games, and have been climbing ever since. My peak is around 8000 trophies, and I'm usually hovering between Legendary and Ultimate Champion arenas.

My deck taste leans heavily into cycle and tempo: classic 2.6 Hog Cycle is my ride-or-die, and I pick up Bridge Spam when I'm in the mood to pressure both lanes at once. I don't love beatdown decks — I'd rather lose a close chip war than win a slow Golem push.

Outside of ranked, I spend time reading patch notes, watching challenge replays on YouTube, and arguing with my clanmates about which evolution is overtuned this season.

Every game I like seems to have a Wordle spin-off — Pokedle, LoLdle, Smashdle — but Clash Royale didn't have a solid one. I wanted something lightweight to play with my clan over morning coffee: a shared daily puzzle, no accounts, no ads interrupting the actual game, just "did you get today's card?".

So in early 2026 I started building. Classic mode first, then Pixel, Emoji, Description, and Higher-Lower. I kept adding modes because I kept running out of Clash Royale subjects to argue with my clan about.

Everything on this site is written by me. I don't publish AI-generated articles without heavy personal editing, and I don't republish other sites' content. Deck analyses come from my own ladder experience plus publicly available Supercell data. If I quote a statistic, I cite the source.

Content is updated whenever Supercell releases a balance patch or new card. The last site-wide content review was October 2026.
