The people of Supercell, creators of Clash Royale, have given the surprise without prior notice. They have updated the card and strategy game with a lot of new features. These include 2v2 or two-on-two battles This format is not really new, but it is if it is applied in challenges, friendly battles or in any encounter, whenever you want. It seems that cooperating has succeeded in Clash Royale. So are these new 2v2 battles.
Two against two
To date, 2v2 battles occurred with some regularity every 15 days. An event called Clan Battles that allows you to face, along with a partner, against two other opponents from another clan In said battles, to ensure that everything works as it should, Tournament rules apply. That is, the cards acquire a certain level that applies to both teams. Thus no one should be stronger than the other, leaving the mechanics in the hands of the collection of cards and the knowledge of how to use them of each player.
Well, these 2v2 battles don't change much from that approach. Players must pitch in with a friend, stranger, or clanmate. Thus, they can use their own decks in real time against two other people. Of course, the cards have the value that the player has obtained for them So not everything depends on the strategy.
Pairing System
Unlike other special matchups, these new 2v2 battles do not apply tournament rules. There is not a totally fair balance neither with the partner nor with the opponents. This means that it all depends on how effective the Clash Royale matchmaking system is
This system is in charge of finding players with similar skills That is, it is possible to compete against players of one level more or one level less , but statistically they should be just as good as you. In this way each player can use their cards and at the level that has developed them. A double-edged sword that will surely make people talk.
What this pairing system does is make the average between the player's king rook level and that of the partner's. This is how the final level of this building arises, and which establishes its life and attack characteristics.
2v2 for everything
So much seems to have liked playing "doubles" that from Supercell they have decided to implement the mechanics in almost all game modes. It is possible to play 2v2 battles right after starting the game. Just press the 2v2 button and choose whether you want to join a random game with a partner and two unknown opponents, or feel friendly support. In this second case, Clash Royale allows you to launch the request through the clan to which you belong. Or, choose a Facebook friend who also plays Clash Royale.
Another option is to go directly to the clan you belong to and launch a friendly battle. The popup menu now allows you to set up a 2v2 battle. Of course, in this case the battle remains within the clan. In other words, it is necessary that at least four members of the clan are connected and join the game to play this battle.
Finally, the 2v2 battles also come to the challenges At the moment this function has not been released. However, Supercell has already announced that there will be challenges where players can collaborate with friends. Something that will help to overcome the challenge, as long as you are well synchronized.
Chest Battles
A point in favor of the renewal of 2v2 battles is the possibility of collect chests And it is that this type of encounters in the normal game mode counts as a normal battle. In this way, and if the fight is won, you get a chest to unlock. All this without forgetting the crowns and money, of course.
So it's not an entertaining waste of time. In exchange for investing effort and time, these battles offer the same rewards as a normal game.Also no trophies are lost when playing with friends, so it's a most efficient activity.
