Clash Royale Balance Update: May 18! Freeze, Royal Giant and More!

Hey Everyone, Doc Storm here.

So again Supercell is going at the updates again. Some are good and some aren't...

So lets take a look at the May 18 balance update:

Buildings: 

1) Cannon: Hit points decreases by 5% again (remember it was nerfed before already)
Used too much still, so they nerfed it again

2) Elixir Collector: Hit points decreases by another 9% (similar to above)

3) Tesla: Hit points increases by 5%

4) Tombstone: Hit points increases by 10%

Units: 

1) ) Royal Giant: Decrease damage by 4%
Developers agree that this may not be the final fix, but they don't see him as too overpowered either

2) Guards: Hit points and damage increase by 8%

3) Fire spirits: increase damage radius by 25% to make them similar to wizards

4) Furnace: Elixir down to 4 (-1 from 5) but lifetime decrease by 10 seconds to 40 seconds now and hit points also decreases by 14%

5) Lava Hound (legendary): Hit points increases by 3% and his Lava Pups increases by 9%

6) Miner (legendary): Hit points increases by 6%

7) Bomber: Damage increases by 10%

8) Knight: Hit points increases by 10%

9) Golem: Hit points increases by 5% along with its Golemite

10) Witch: Damage increases by 10%

11) Skeletons: Hit points and damage increases by 5%
So it does affect anything that has skeletons such as Witches, Tombstone and even Skeleton Army.

Spells:

1) Freeze Spell: Decrease duration by 1 second!

Other:

Epic and Legendary Card Upgrade: Experience changed to be similar to Rare and Commons.

Conclusion:

So that is all the changes for now. I believe the most significant changes would be the Freeze Spell Cannon, and Royal Giant changes as they are the current meta.

As well will this patch finally make the Elixir Collector unusable? I feel this to be the major nerf for lower level players trying to beat higher level opponents as it is now harder than ever to gain an elixir advantage this way.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.
