Ken wants an evolved Skeleton Barrel in each lane, with one stronger than the other. Evolution Mirror gives him a way to try it, and his first session with the card turns into an experiment in how quickly he can send the next attack.
The upload, "evo mirror released", drew about 425,000 views since yesterday. After his recent Balloon experiments, Ken is working with a different airborne threat: a barrel that delivers Skeletons to the opponent's side of the arena.
Early on, he explains the attraction of Evolution Mirror: it can produce an evolved version of the card being copied, even when that card isn't the deck's selected evolution. That opens up combinations beyond simply repeating the last move. By the second match, he's demonstrating Skeleton Barrel pressure in both lanes, making his opponent deal with attacks on separate fronts.
Then he makes the deck cheaper still, replacing Minions with Bats so he can cycle back to those barrels faster. The repeated attacks become the centre of the experiment, rather than one elaborate push.
The surroundings have changed, too. "I'm now in Japan, so the setup's a little bit different," Ken says at the start. Between matches, he reflects on visiting Shanghai and on a routine that has travelled with him: "Every day of my twenties, I have made a Clash Royale YouTube video." The new recording location hasn't interrupted that habit.
