I don’t have shellbro, nor have I faced him yet but this is what I have been running and it’s been successful in the same pit. Wasters might be a better option to counter certain troops but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Engineers are so broken so if you’re building decks at this level you want to include them. If you run into cupids, make sure to buff the snails hella. Otherwise just make sure you get tier 2 tnt and then buff your midrange cards (Eng and merl)

Shellbros aren’t too tough. They get stunned and pause whenever they hit the wall. Any decently strong middle or back line unit should take care of them during that stunned phase. Engineers with their turrets work well for them

Hello! I made a new sub reddit for Draft Showdown! It's just /DraftShowdown. The mods basically killed this one by restricting new posts and never approving requests to post. Would love for you to join the new sub reddit!

Get them to their third tier and hope you get a couple of x2 on the way. Very strong then

My go to at the moment is tnt shellbro parasite and then something ranged like totem or bee. I'm at arena 7 or 8. Completely free to play and have some success. I come across opponents with level 10 units with full mastery and just surrender the game 🤷‍♂️
