The aim of this game is to destroy the crown towers of your opponent using the cards a player has in his/her deck of 8, with the given time of 3 minutes. If either side wins or loses, a 1 minute overtime will be given. There are 2 lanes on which the player can launch his/her attack. Each lane is defended by a Princess Tower, and behind the Princess Towers is a King Tower. But what is interesting is that a player can directly attack the King Tower without having to destroy the Princess Towers beforehand if the player has the right cards. This King Tower is the heart of all the battle. If a player destroys his/her opponent's King Tower, the player automatically wins the battle, even though one or both the Princess Towers still stand. On the other hand, the same goes to the player, if his/her King Tower is destroyed, the player will automatically lose the battle. These towers have hitpoints and damage depending on player level.

When players win these battles, they earn trophies which will decide which arena are they in, the higher the arena, the more competitive it is. Players also win chests, and in these chests are the cards. There are 7 types of chest that can be earned from battles: Silver Chest, Golden Chest, Giant Chest, Magical Chest, Super Magical Chest, Epic Chest and Legendary Chest. There is also a Wooden Chest that can be opened every 4 hours. Also every time a player reaches a higher arena, there will be more cards waiting to be discovered.

These cards also have 3 different types: Troop, Building and Spell. There is also a shop that offers you cards, chests, gold and gems. The cards recycle every 24 hours.

Troop type of cards have attributes such as speed, count and targets. Building cards have attributes such as lifetime, spawn speed/production speed and range. Spell cards have attributes such as radius, duration and crown tower damage.

In this game, you can also form clans. These clans is the place where players can donate their cards to our clan mates, and  where players can have a friendly battle against their clan mates just for fun without risking our trophies. Players can also chat with one another and sometimes there are clan battles where we battle alongside with one of our clan mates against 2 other players from another clan.


There are also limited time tournaments and challenges that can be played by a player after paying the entry fee. Usually, these tournaments and challenges give players rewards after they reach a certain point in it. These rewards can be gold, chests and cards. The tournament or challenge will end when you reach 12 wins or 3 losses, whichever comes first. Cards that are used in these challenges and tournaments are either leveled up or leveled down to these conditions: King level 9, Common level 9, Rare level 7, Epic level 4 and Legendary level 1. The overtime length in these special battles is 3 minutes to minimize draws.


I hope this has helped you understand more about Clash Royale. Good Luck & Have Fun!!!

Unfairness

 Unfairness. The lack of equality or justice. You'd think that after a few thousand years of existence, humans would have found a way to overcome it, but the fact is, it's here to stay.

 This unfairness takes many forms. One of them is discrimination. In society, there are certain groups which are less powerful than others these are the minorities. They often see themselves as objects of collective discrimination, and are socially excluded and disadvantaged.

For example, Donald Trump, the president of the United States, imposed a travel ban on people from Muslim countries due to a fear of terrorist attacks on his country. Protecting your country from terrorists is okay, but there are thousands of innocent people who aren't terrorists living in those Muslim countries. It's unfair for them if they can't see their loved ones in the US, or pursue a better education or a better life.

 Other times, it's not so easily noticeable. Sure, you see it, but you decide to ignore it, or you don't realise it's unfair. When a new girl comes in your class and she looks different from the rest you, does anyone go up to her and say hi? Does anyone at least smile at her? Or do you just ignore her existence without meaning to? Have you ever thought of how hard it was for her to come to a new school with new friends and a completely new environment? This isn't just a single, isolated case either. It happens all the time, everyday, everywhere, in every form.

The world is full of unfairness. No matter how hard you try to escape it, it'll just show up around the corner. That doesn't mean you can't do anything about it. 

Every act of kindness counts.


Mobile Legends

Image result for mobile legends all heroesMobile Legends : Bang Bang is a MOBA style game that is similar to games like League of Legends and Dota 2.

There are heroes that you can buy and use, depending on your abilities ; tank, carry, support and jungler. Tank acts as an initiator in team as well as a front liner. Being a tank has to be good in decision making because your team is most likely to follow you. Carry must be played by advanced player since they do the most damage in the team. They are boosted and aid by support being the most ambitious and dangerous in clash. Carry come mostly in marksmen as this class focuses on damage. Support are the ones who ensure that your carry will stand longer in the battle field.

You can play this game with different modes such as match up, brawl mode and ranked game. the ranked game will be unlocked when you have at least 5 heroes. You will be matched up with a team of 5 people. The main aim of match up mode is to destroy the enemies' base surrounded by several turrets on 3 lane which you need to destroy before reaching the base. 

The higher ranks in the ranked game will give you more advantage as you will be seen as a professional player, there will also be additional prizes according to the ranks. The highest is Legend which is hard to accomplish as a beginner - but you'll soon reach it.

I hope this has helped you in getting better with the heroes you play in the battle field. Good Luck !
