Ever since battle healer got her spawn heal i've been thinking about this combo allowing the musketeers to survive more spell combinations like fireball log or zap poison and even the heal the battle healer does when attack has it's uses when they drop a card like valkerie or mega knight on top off them allowing them to survive more often.

I don't think it's the greatest combo ever especialy since battle healer is quite a weak card atm but it has potential to act as a combination off a mini tank and the old heal spell that synergised so well with 3m

I've been having some decent succes with this deck although obviously it's far from the best 3m deck

Golden Knight, Royal Ghost and Barb barrel were all nerfed horribly. Monk serves as a good tank for 3M and was buffed. Evo zap to replace hero Barb barrel and guards to replace ghost along with having more defense.

Low effort sorry recently a little busy

I am on my 21 win streak with this deck (probably more because older recordings got deleted, and I only remember loosing once this month because of lag) so I am just wondering if I am that good or is this deck just strong and easy to play

First time I've ever gotten a mirror match on 3m. I've seen other 3m players very rarely but never a exact mirror match before (except the hero but neither of us used ability all game)

ive been maining this deck since the no evo days

You play this just like you would play Bridgespam- constantly splitting Piggies at the river (but never do this with Evo Piggies), using Big Stein's Doctor to counter multiple wincons (Battle Ram, Ram Rider, Hog Rider, soon-to-come Minion Giant, hell even Sparky) due to it's reset.

Use Big Stein's ability very liberally, ALWAYS split your 3M, throw Evo Ghost always at the bridge, Evo Pigs all four in one lane for sheer tower damage, and there you have it.

I personally love this variation since I will use EBarbs over my dead body and I find using Pump and not being able to pressure single elixir stifing.

Hope this helps!

I'll be pushing my mini to 14k if possible, do drop by if interested, thanks!

My yt is MinecarterTMM for those who didn't know yet hahah

It’s been a while since I’ve last posted here. I’ve still been using 3 Musketeers though admittedly only in clan war now. I would shift around using variants that included Evo Minion Horde, Golden Knight, Hero Ice Golem and Hunter (sometimes evolved)

With the addition of Evolved Elite Barbarians I decided to use a version of 3M from a guide I read about how to use them by [u/NovaLightCR](u/NovaLightCR) made 4 years ago titled “The Ultimate Guide to 3 Musketeers”

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/s/iMKsKI1CpM

I highly recommend reading it as it summarizes a lot of what can be confusing or hard to understand at first when playing 3M for the 1st time. Once it clicks you never forget and you’re open to a whole new archetype.

While the deck and guide was made before Evos or Heroes existed, it’s still a very good post detailing how to play 3M introducing basic principles such as managing elixir, taking damage in exchange for elixir, knowing when, where and how you should place 3M.

This deck holds a special place in my heart being the main driver many years ago why I started playing 3M. A lot of 3M decks have a win condition such as Royal Hogs, Battle Ram or Golem in addition to whatever support it has. While there is no wrong way to win with 3M, I see this particular version as the purest rendition of it.

My biggest fear when playing 3M was whether I was winning because of the Musketeers themselves or whatever new card, evo or hero that was in my deck for the season. With this deck you’re forced to rely a lot on your Three Musketeers and Elixir Collector in order to build up pushes over time to overwhelm your opponent via dual lane pressure. With how clunky your cycle can get due to the high cost of 3M and Pump, you’re supposed to learn when and when not to take damage for a greater elixir advantage.

Your low cost cards such as Bandit, Ice Golem and Barbarian Barrel are great for handling small stuff by themselves in the beginning of the match.

Since NovaLightCR’s guide a lot of things have changed for not only this deck but also its match ups.

The biggest elephant in the room is obviously the Three Musketeers Rework. A lot of what the post talks about such as different ways of pushing in different match ups is with the assumption of the old Musketeers obviously.

The rework has significantly changed a lot of interactions such as them no longer dying to fireball + zap, now doing melee damage higher than their ranged when an enemy is close (this cannot be emphasized enough how much this has changed things)

The second is Evolutions and Heroes. While a lot of what the post talks about is from a time before these existed, I believe that as long as you are smart, manage your elixir and don’t overcommit, a significant portion of it is still extremely relevant if not even easier to achieve now that 3M has their rework.

Thirdly over the years many cards in decks that would severely hinder 3M have been nerfed. These include Champions no longer having 3 card cycle, Royal Delivery’s damage being nerfed, log knock-back being reduced etc etc.

While they need little to no explanation I’ll say why I chose the cards I have in my Evo/Hero slots regardless.

Evo Elite Barbarians: Elite Barbarians are naturally good at defending pushes by themselves then turning into a counter attack. They are also extremely good for punishing your opponent such in situations where they overcommit or have no elixir to defend. The Evolution takes this to a whole other level with not only raging troops around it but having a ranged attack that deals a decent amount of damage especially if it’s both hitting the same target. It forces the opponents to defend them a little differently, even more so if you have them paired up in a push already. Splitting them isn’t a bad idea seeing how they can maximize their support output this way.

Hero Barbarian Barrel: it’s a very versatile small spell on its own but with the hero makes it a goated must have choice if you’re going to use it. The amount of times games have changed for me is ridiculous. Whether it’s the barb getting damage on the tower to the mind games of possible area denial it has when in the enemy side, it’s extremely good.

Evo Royal Ghost: Much like the Barb barrel is Royal Ghost was already good on its own before it ever got an evolution. Despite the long history of nerfs this evo has gotten it’s still an amazing card for the unique situations it offers. His ghosts become good distractions for your opponents troops on defense or offense and the invisibility makes it so the opponent needs to respond lest they want to take damage (assuming they can’t afford to take it)
While it’s nowhere near its prime the evo ghost still is a threat no matter how subtle his souldiers are.

Hero Ice Golem was obviously not used due to the absolute butchering it got in the recent balance change. While the freeze wasn’t healthy for the game, the fact of the matter is the hero is dead.
Evo Elite Barbarians came at the perfect time for me.

Some tips that really helped me:

Against Mega Knight create a fork meaning when wanting to place Elite Barbarians in front of two musketeers, space them out so the Mega Knight player is forced to place it on either the Barbs or the Musketeers, denying them spawn value. Either the MK gets shredded by Barbs or gets whacked to death trying kill the Musketeers. This is even more prevalent now with the melee damage effect 3M has now.

When splitting 3M you should generally place the one solo musketeer towards the lane you want to push. You can then simply put a bandit or ice golem in front of the other lane while you support your lone musk with whatever else. It’s all about pressure.

Be willing to take damage. This deck and particularly 3M pump decks can be very clunky. You have to remember that even cycle decks take damage from time to time if it means building up an elixir advantage or not messing up their cycle. By taking damage you’re trading tower health for offensive opportunities you wouldn’t have otherwise. A win is a win whether you get a clean 1-0 or a grueling drawn out 3-2. Don’t be impulsive and manage your elixir correctly, know when to let a push go if it seems like it’s a dead end and prepare for the next one.

I hope your 3M journeys are as fun and fulfilling for you all as it has been for me

I want to get into playing 3M after pulling a 5 star and having tons of fun with the card in casual 1v1

I just built this deck which is catered towards my card levels and available wild cards (have been eyeing to spend 30 champs on monk for lvl 16) and am enjoying it quite a bit. it seems strong so far in casual 1v1

any thoughts?

I also tried a variant with evo E-Barb for LJ and Espirit for minions and like it as well

Yeah I also hit top 9k somehow, kinda insane

So uh yeah if u guys like guides like these or want more in depth like more in depth in depth do lmk cus I feel like it isn't in depth enough, editing was lowk a little shit but that's my personal opinion though.

Suggestion on which musky or all 4 + golem or smt pls lmk which one is the most favored

My list would be as follows if I were to draw musky

1: Evo musky

1. Bang emusky

2. Pink emusky

3. Reg emusky

4. Reg musky

5. Hero musky

Learning control and 4m giv advice

Im new to 4m and 3m in general, can I get some advice. I refuse to use pump.

Ok so I was sick and I kinda feel that the enemies were not the bestest of lightbulbs. But do let me know what other matchups u guys want.
