Ken gives his new Clash Royale deck a wonderfully cautious introduction: "I don't think this is going to work, but I have to try it." Before long, he's announcing that he's solved the game. Royal Recruits will complicate that assessment.

His upload "2.6 goon cycle" has drawn roughly 422,000 views since yesterday. After choosing the cheapest cards in his previous chaos draft, Ken is working with a more deliberate experiment: Evo Giant and Hero Balloon, supported by Evo Zap, Cannon and a cheap defensive cycle.

The idea is to survive the early exchanges, then send Giant and Balloon forward together when elixir comes faster. Ken's opening matches show both parts of that plan: Cannon and Bats handling defensive duties, followed by pushes that put considerably more pressure on the other side. His confidence grows rather faster than his introductory warning suggests.

Then comes Vivaldi, carrying Royal Recruits and Royal Hogs. "My least favorite card in this entire game is Recruits," Ken says. The encounter becomes a hectic exchange across lanes, testing how well his experiment holds together when the opponent keeps supplying problems.

The comments find smaller things to investigate, too: one viewer checks his arithmetic about fallen Bats, while another recognises a mention of Zappies cycle as a throwback. Ken's own final assessment is less sweeping than having solved Clash Royale: "I think there's some potential here. I might have to workshop it."
