Trivia []
- This is the first episode to air in 2019.
- Many troops made their debut in this episode, including the cameo of Rascals.
- It was revealed that Elli lives in Clash Acres, which returns since "Pork-tergeist".
- Edward makes a cameo in this episode while Elli is walking to her house. He is seen sculpting something out of grass, as he did in "Clone Alone".
- This is the first episode where Princesses and Kings consistently survive the destruction of their respective towers. Prior to this episode, this was not consistent; some disappeared in the destruction and others survived.
- One Princess disappears after her tower is destroyed by Elli, but this is probably a mistake.
- This is the first episode where a battle deck is seen. Decks shown in this episode include:
- Deck 1: Battle Ram, Bandit, Magic Archer, Ice Golem, Inferno Dragon, Zap and Poison.
- Deck 2: Executioner, Fireball, Baby Dragon, Night Witch, Clone, Goblins, Miner and Giant
- Deck 3: Lava Hound, Bowler, P.E.K.K.A, Valkyrie, Skeletons (others TBA)
- Deck 4: Hog Rider, Princess (Elli), Prince, Arrows, Goblin Barrel, Barbarians, Golem and Spear Goblins.
Goofs / Errors[]
- During the scene where Mary attempts to shoot a Goblin, both Elli and the Archer next to her are invisible, despite Elli being in view of the camera (proved in the next scene).
- During the scene where Elli shoots some Red team Goblins, one of the Red Tower Princesses mistakenly uses Elli's appearance, rather than the normal Red Princess appearance.
- Night Witch is seen as 5 elixir (it is 4 elixir right now in Clash Royale).
- The Dart Goblin and the Barbarian appeared in the Deck 1 zone but it was not on the list which Elli had read before.
- Elli's Goblin that was mainly featured in this episode wields both a knife and a spear; most Goblins only wield one weapon type only.
- It is unknown how the Goblin still had his spear considering Elli had removed all of his spears from his backpack to make room for supplies.
- The belt that Elli was wearing and used to disarm the Magic Archer near the end of the episode does not disappear off of her.
- During the scene where Elli takes the Magic Archer's bow and arrow, the Magic Archer turns blue for a split second, even though he was fighting for the Red team at that point.
- In the credits, after the Magic Archer's music is played at the end, a white circle appears.
References[]
- The Magic Archer referencing there was no red, or blue team, but only purple team, may be a reference to "A Knight To Remember", which the King referenced as the result of red and blue mixing (when he witnesses Raymond and Julia in love with each other).
- The avalanche that traps the Magic Archer, his camp's inhabitants, Elli and her Goblin in the camp may be a reference to a similar scene in the Disney film Mulan, where Mulan causes a similar avalanche using explosives (there, she uses a type of rocket), trapping Hunnic troops.
- The partnership of the Bandit and Magic Archer is a reference to the comic where a Bandit and a Magic Archer team up in heist.
Continuity[]
- This episode shares a similar plot and story arc with "Lost in Donation". Both revolve around an overly ambitious Archer/Princess frustrated at her own current career, with Jenny and Elli respectively learning their own lessons from an unexpected change in their lives introduced midway through the episode.
