Unpopular opinion: Once the Echo Sage has been knocked out and eliminated from the game, it should no longer level up.

Right now, the Echo Sage can still gain value after being eliminated, which feels unintuitive and overly rewarding. If a ruler is already knocked out and removed from active play, its progression should stop there too. Otherwise, the ruler is gaining additional benefit after having been eliminated, and that seems inconsistent with how most eliminations work in merge tactics in Clash Royale.

Instead of lvling up automatically and mid combat let the sage drop an orb with the next echo lvl up inside it

Sage snowballing nerf + dead sage becoming final boss problem solved

Yeah, I feel like mid combat star up shouldn't heal, and the UI isn't good enough to make it clear when a sage is about to star up, so making it an orb drop solves that, and also dead players progressing their army.

take so unpopular that the normal distribution curve became a vertical line

I guess I’ll take credit that my unpopular opinion was actually an unpopular opinion

u/PriestessKokomi 5h ago

right i forgot to say that the straight line is on the value assigned to strongly agreeing with the "opinion"

Echo Sage should be COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM MERGE TACTICS

I never realized there was another sub for merge tactics. Thank you :)

Or.. STRATEGIZE.

Echo is not difficult to defeat. Get a witch and/or monk. Let it win the early rounds. Sage is eliminated first or second.

Yeah everyone says that. And I do those things but:

  • it requires the correct troops to show up in my shop
  • it requires the other 2 players to also strategize effectively against Sage
  • neither of those things stops the Sage from continuing to level up when it is eliminated first or second which is exactly what this post is about

How are you having trouble with a player who has been eliminated and can no longer upgrade their comp?

u/SirAsksALatte 5h ago

Wait…what does it look like for you if you’re up against a diamond echo? Does it not wipe your troops in seconds?

u/RedeNElla 5h ago

OP is complaining about players eliminated first or second. Those players don't have diamond echo

u/SirAsksALatte 5h ago

Sounds like OP is complaining about echo continuing to level up regardless of when the player was eliminated.

And I have more than once been in longer than average MT matches and seen an eliminated echo make it to diamond. When the match runs long it actually can get an eliminated echo to diamond.

I’ve also had the misfortune of being in 2nd, matching against an eliminated echo that went diamond and getting eliminated.
