Clans
  • Best Belgian clans
  • Bring the W — First clan I joined (ignoring the very first one ^^). Was quite active in clan wars, and donation. Leader Slick_Nick (8GRRPCL0). Players Skully (#PJ8VQ2P2), RNG_Childsplays (#P2YU9UYPU), Agent gg (#82P98GG0G), Natan (#YVV009CL).
  • Team Belgique (1300 trophees, >50k medals) — my current clan. 55750 medals in last war, and on our way to beat that! Mandatory to use the chat before any trade, which is strict, but gives a very active clan.
Found through royaleapi.com, looking for top #1000 Belgian clan, starting from last one and up. It always scored lot of medals (>40k), and had >8k donation at the end of the week. Joined on 2021-11-13.
  • Les pros — Belgian clan lead by brandon. He always greets every new player and discusses a lot. Nice small clan I joined in the beginning of my 3rd account.
  • La Presspinpinte — The clan family from Kapoow, that I joined with my 3rd account (clan Red devils).

Tips

General

  • Tap the screen immediately after starting a game to skip animation. This helps playing as soon as possible the first card.
  • Request card every day (eg. card from deck), and give also card every day (to gain gold and fame that increases king level). Below king level 10 however, it is better to focus on upgrading a few cards only (the ones of main deck), and avoid getting xp from other operations. Doing so will allow getting max level card while keeping the king level as low as possible.
  • Clash Royale | How to Pull/Lure/Aggro Units - Advanced Tech
  • On aggro: how troop are choosing which unit to target.
  • Exclamation mark indicates which ennemy troops you aggro.
  • xbow aggro can be reset with zap.
  • Use pull to increase distance an ennemy unit has to do before reaching tower.
  • Pull: standard pull, chained pull, u-turn.
  • Pull can also split an ennemy push over two tower.
  • Don't play the Royal Tournament on the first days. Better wait for all big players to get higher in wins, to have better chance to meet standard players.
  • Pass royale
  • Best value for money, but wait king level 7.
  • Don't open season chests in early arena's. It's insanely bad value.
  • Pass royale can be COMPLETED fast by using Party / 1v1 showdown battle and under-leveled deck but one MAXED card.
  • stack trade token: make dummy request in the clan to go below 10, then collect the new tokens, and cancel the trades.
  • To get money from trade: request a maxed card (or a card lvl 13 but enough cards to go max), and give away a non-maxed card [1]:
  • Gain 1250 gold for common (5 each).
  • Gain 2.5K gold for rare (50 each).
  • Gain 5K gold for epic (500 each).
  • Gain 20K gold for legendary.
  • To get experience / star points, give cards:
  • Maxed card: Gain 10 exp for rare
Card lvl Common Rare Epic Legendary
Gold XP Gold XP Gold XP Gold XP
<= 13 5 1 50 10 500 ? 20k n/a
14 - 1 - 10 - ? - n/a
  • Best value for gems: 500 gems for royal tournament (if reaching at least 10 wins, to get the most valuable chest).

Strategy

General strategy

  • Usually play defensively rather than offensively.
  • Learn the cards from the opponents, what cards are hard counters (air, area, high dps...), and what weakness he has (no counter to some of our cards, e.g. splash against barbarians).
  • Keep track of the hard counters, and maximize value of our cards for which he has no counter.
  • If cannot defend, go for tower trade, especially if favorable.
  • Some decks are better at tower trade than other (e.g. beatdown), and other are weaker (eg. graveyard without freeze, goblinbarrel decks).
  • Don't over-spend on defense, try to make elixir trade on defense.

Tips

  • Learn and know the hand of the opponent.
  • What card does he have, what card is out-of cycle?
  • When does he have his win condition back? And prepare how to best respond to it.
  • When does he have his counter card out of cycle (eg. air counter, to play naked balloon at the bridge).
  • In 5000-6600 trophee range:
  • Always foresee the worse that could happen, do not take any damage.
  • In the first 60 to 90 seconds, learn the deck from the opponent.
  • When knowing the hand of the opponent, we can start to play and build pushes.
  • Defend for positive elixir trade!
  • Make sure to spend less elixir, and ideally all defending units must survive to build a counter push (even better if we can drop a tank in front after successful defense)!
  • Don't put one unit at time, build defense or attacks. One unit at a time only make elixir inbalance worse!
  • Count elixir, at elixir delta's.
  • Like when opp plays valkyrie, and we play minion, we are 1 up elixir. Then we play say bomber, we are 1 down, etc. Try also to take into account overflow, like if we are behind, but our elixir reaches 10 again, then we are back ex-aequo.
  • Learn to play blank.
  • Don't be too low on elixir, like play fast card after card.
  • Having some spare elixir allows for reacting quickier, for better elixir trade thanks to better placement (force ennemy to make long distance).
  • Cycle card when no defense in hand.
  • Learn card placement, so that to escape:
  • Area damage spell that would kill / freeze all troops and/or tower.
  • Think of freeze, fireball, Marcher, executioner, firecracker/hunter.
  • Learn card placement for better defense:
  • Put distraction troop far of MELEE attacker (eg. knight, valkyrie).
  • Put attacker troop on RANGE attacker (eg. musketeer...). megaknight a bit special, aim mid-range to avoid jump damage.
  • Play rather defensively than aggressively.
  • Find the right time to build a counter push.
  • Try to estimate the elixir of the opponent (did he play lot of cards, etc).
  • Try to estimate the hand of the opponent (what cards does he play, what did he play, etc).
  • Don't waste elixir, like putting a single troop at the bridge that will be killed by tower.
  • Make sure that when defending, troops are still alive after defending.
  • Wait to reach 10 elixir before playing a troop at the bottom of the map.
  • Play cards fast, and together, so that they can all attack at the same time.
  • Typically, do not play one card, then wait for elixir, then play a second card. Better wait for elixir to play both at the same time.
  • Play card at the right spot, like:
  • musketeer on the side of towers so that they can shoot but are not shot at.
  • Use giant to protect weak but powerful troops (like bomber or musketeer).
  • Always play fireball with value, like against an enemy tower + enemy troop.
  • Don't play the goblinhut too close to river, but close enough to our tower so that tower can shoot.
  • When defending, play card at the right spot to aim at the correct enemy troop (like play megaminion on babydragon).
  • Against prince:
  • play knight at the last sec to prevent opponent to play a spell (like fireball or arrows).
  • or play knight before the prince is charging.
  • Typical counter-push:
  • Play a giant in front, then musketeer / bomber behind. If musketeer is alive after a defense, add the giant at the front for the counter push.
  • Against goblinbarrel:
  • Can play arrows, fireball, barbarianbarrel, skeletonarmy, babydragon.
  • Defend against giantskeleton:
  • Eg: A valkyrie at bridge junction (square right below the bridge) when Skeleton giant passed that line, and a bomber at 5th square from river, and 5 to 6 square away from valkyrie.
  • aim correctly fireball:
  • Eg. against wizard close to a tower, that we attack with a lavahound + Mega-Minion: don't aim the wizard but slightly above, so that when fireball explodes, the blow pushes the wizard towards our Mega-minion, killing the wizard (otherwise, the wizard would have killed the Mega-minion likely). Because the tower spotted the lavahound, our Mega-minion still alive can deal a lot of damage to the tower.
  • Against witch:
  • thelog / elitebarbarians / arrows / zap to remove all skeletons. If played correctly elitebarbarians can also make 2 hits to tower.
  • Activate our K tower:
  • Using tornado, bring opp troop close to K tower so that they connect.
  • Against firecracker, put a building/troop close to K tower so that bullet touches K tower (location: leave 2 squares between troop and tower/K tower).

  • Against electro-spirit, play skeleton between K tower and tower so that electro arc touches the K tower.
  • witch pulverizes megaminion.
  • Play graveyard when opp is down on elixir.
  • megaknight super utility card when opp is over-committing (note: megaknight does damage on drop).
  • Against player with darkprince / prince / hogrider, just keep cycling cheap card so that to have the goblin's hut in hand.
  • Starting hand play:
  • Play according to starting hand. Eg. if play pekka at bridge, make sure you have arrows/zap in 1st 5 cards to counter skel army, etc.
  • Opp should not attack on the same lane as where I played lavahound bottom of the map. Because if I can counter, and keep defense troop alive, then this build up a powerfull counter push.
  • So, if playing against lavahound, better attack on the opposite lane. Also make sure to defend against lavahound.
  • When playing Lava-balloon, and lavahound+balloon kills first tower, put guards top middle to take spot from P tower, to protect balloon.
  • E-Barbs:
  • Play them middle, right in front of K tower -> handy when darkprince + prince on both lanes.
  • giant, battleram... can also be used to counter ennemy tanks.
  • Put them at bridge, behind ennemy to pull them back from tower, back to where they came from.
  • When to play in the pocket:
  • When opp tower is down, it can be good move to play a tank unit, or offensive unit in the pocket. When doing so, that unit will immediately distract the 2nd P tower, and possible also K tower.
  • It is good move if the push on the first tower contains many small troops, ideally behind some tank troop. Eg. a balloon followed by Lava's puppies, or a valkyrie, followed by witchs skeleton. In that case, playing in the pocket allows these extra units to survive since K tower will target the main tank and 2nd P tower will target the unit in the pocket, and hence these secondary units will make deadly damage to K tower. If there is no main tank, playing in the pocket may distract both tower, but it requires a very strong tank (like lava or such).
  • When having support troops, and opp adds a troop that would "escape" those troops, often good play to add a troop that would block the course of that new ennemy, so that support troop can help defeating him, with minor HP loss on our own new troop (positive trade).
  • Bait techniques: force a move from opponent, to then get a better advantage afterwards.
  • Eg. We need to play skeletondragons on a lane to defend, but opp has fireball. We play barbarians on the other lane to force the fireball.
  • To target K tower when one tower down: play troop 2-sq from the pocket!
  • In 1x elixir time, 2 elixir difference is huge. Use that advantage to build big push.
  • When one tower is down, the King tower can be directly attacked if playing a range troop at 2-sq distance from the pocket (3-1 placement). If place too close to the pocket, the unit will instead attack the other princess tower.
  • However, when both P towers are down, it is best to put the unit at the pocket (3-3 placement, two possible positions), so that even melee units go in STRAIGHT line to the king tower (instead of making a wide detour).
  • Note that in general, it is NOT RECOMMENDED to attack the K tower directly. Attacking the 2nd P tower is usually safer (less HP, range units not under cross fire).
1/ Have win conditions, 2/ Keep track of rotations, 3/ Take damage, 4/ Adapt your playstyle, 5/ Use more troops, 6/ Time is your friend, 7/ Stop leaking elixir, 8/ Have quick fingers, 9/ Eliminate distractions, 10/ Pros are not special
  • 2/ At least keep track of opponent win conditions, and then spells.
  • 3/ If playing lava on one lane, and opponent counter attacks other lane, support your push and don't overcommit on defense.
  • 4/ If opponent is very aggressive, play counter attack; if no spell, stack troops!
  • 5/ Favor troop over spell when possible to get more control and value.
  • 6/ Use first 1 or 2 minutes to learn opponent deck.

Clan Wars 2

  • Matchmaking is based on some secret ELO system (see https://royaleapi.com/blog/visualize-cw2-progress).
  • Player on Discord CR FR said matchmaking is based on winrate indeed, and that players in top clan do LOSE on purpose during TRAINING days to lower their winrate.
  • To get a better match up during battle days, one can force lose during TRAINING days. Apparently one has to play normally and lose for it to count (called lissage in french).
  • A clan medals can be increased by playing with 56 members, making sure that members are leaving and joining on the same day.
  • To get better river race, the clan can be emptied monday morning, before the race selection. Apparently this helps going with weaker clans.
  • There is also another technique called win trading. Not sure how that works.
Deck selection
  • Look for hard counter cards, and play corresponding deck if that card is out.
  • E.g. if playing the WoToP deck, and OPP played fireball in first deck, select it as 2nd deck.
  • Don't play these deck first, but play a versatile deck that can face many MUs.

How to start

What to do if other player doesn't play:

  • They refer to "investment card". But what are they?
  • miner on tower.
  • lavahound is usually risky. Because reduce possibility of defense.

Quick push counter:

  • Opp plays lumberjack+balloon at bridge (first lumberjack, then balloon).
  • Usual defense is infernodragon, well on the course of the balloon, but don't aggro the lumberjack (usually this is hard).
  • Game: played instead elitebarbarians behind lumberjack, then babydragon on the course of the balloon. Opp plays Horde at tower, I play fireball on tower + horde, babydragon kills the remaining horde and takes the tower. 1 tower for one tower, and hit K tower twice. Same elixir, slightly more damage.

Deck advises

  • Keep deck speed < 4.
  • Keep two spells in deck (like arrow and fireball).

Things I learned

  • Don't activate K tower (with arrows, fireball). Note that opponent may play cards to trigger his K tower (eg. tornado, fisherman that brings our troop close to K tower and start attacking it).
  • Against furnace + tesla:
  • Opp was playing furnace + tesla on one side, couldn't go through with lavahound. On second push, played lavahound bottom left, then after he play furnace + tesla, played Inferno D bottom right, then miner before P tower spotted the dragon. Opp played skel army, killing miner, but could counter with arrows, hence Inferno D could take the tower.
  • React to elixir used by opponent. If opp uses 4 elixir, and we could defend, then put a 4 elixir offensive troop to counter push.
  • witch + balloon is deadly. The skeleton distracts the tower, and balloon makes lot of damage, and vice-versa.
  • Counterpush: Opponent attack with hogrider, and then goblinbarrel. I put Skel Army on rider, and minions on goblin. Then on push back, I add minipekka in the middle of army for protection (note: this could be arrows / fireball bait). This takes the tower and K tower (against low level 7)!
  • Playing against a lavahound+balloon + FB/Log + electrodragon/valkyrie/minions/electrowizard deck. Things started badly, but went better when playing elitebarbarians on the other lane, defending them a bit with zap. Morale: when you cannot do your normal push, go the other one.

Card synergy

  • electrowizard + magicarcher: electrowizard in front of tower, magicarcher middle (even other side) that does horizontal shot.
  • witch (in the back), then balloon at bridge. witchs skels protect the balloon (they take the shot).
  • icegolem + hogrider at bridge, at same time!
  • (seen on tv royale) zappies in the back, then at bridge at royalrecruits so that both zappies and recruits are in a same group (so 2 groups).
  • Good counter is first icespirit in the back, then executioner left of tower but close to it (square W2 or E2), so that its axe is well in group axe.
  • (tv royale) balloon at bridge (A14), then 2s later, Skel drag (C14). This kills opp's minions.
  • Reaction was Barbarian on other bridge, then 4s later, balloon. When balloon killed tower, send asap a miner on K tower (N3) to take the spot. But Opp. replied with zap on balloon.
  • miner + zap (+lavahound): miner on tower, then zap tower to re-target tower on the miner. zap can also be used eg. against witch, put miner on witch, zap, this kills the skeletons, miner then target the witch, and witch retarget on lavahound.
  • lavahound + miner: Play miner in the back of the tower, so that when pups appear, miner tanks the damage from the tower, but then when King's tower activates, miner is still tanking the damage as well.
  • lavahound: Always play with a Skeleton Dragon behind, or babydragon behind, or balloon. Get more value for the tank!
  • icespirit + goblinbarrel: lot of damage apparently...
  • rascals + wallbreakers: they push the big rascal to the tower faster!

  • Play one or two square away from tower to allow for attacking opp. defender if any (e.g Play 4-1 or 5-1 if opp. play defensive range mid-map, or 1 square behind tower if he plays often backward).
  • Play in the back of tower, or e4 / 9-0 to quickly switch from P to K tower and tank damage.
  • Play more on -- or +- column to tank damage from center or outside, in order to defend minions.
  • Summary: if taking P tower, think where to put miner to tank damage during P->K transition. Or if miner to tank damage, think where defender will shoot from, and possibly don't connect miner to tower, but give some room and opportunity to target a defender instead.
  • Miner may DISTRACT BOTH P towers (if played inner). May be useful to protect e.g. a low health musketeer or a dartgoblin to take down the other tower.

  • KT activation: put a unit between P and K tower when he dashes (visible when he's flying), for instance guards at 11-0.
Skeleton King
  • Good combo with tombstone. Try to play tombstone first, then the skeletonking.
  • Defense troop, try to play it as a cheap barbarians, with +2 to bring more defense. In offense, make sure to have the gauge filled.
  • valkyrie: play in FRONT of the king, so that no skeletons goes to the tower. Perfect defense.

  • Synergy: rage.
  • +2 trade: skeletonarmy.
  • +1 trade: fireball, charging darkprince, valkyrie.

Minion Horde
  • tbc
  • archers: 5-3, when horde on bridge [21].
  • phoenix / zap: if horde against phoenix, zap them, death bomb will take care of the horde.
Rascals
  • tbc
  • tbc
Giant
  • tbc
  • tbc
Royal Hogs
  • tbc

When played on one tower:

  • +2 trade: skeletonarmy.
  • even trade: Spear goblins (tower north edge), and thelog timed right so that still being hit by goblins.
  • -1 trade: babydragon (6-1 placement, but why not P tower corner?), then zap when Hogs in baby's range.
  • From Inside the Play #7, LaPoKaTi vs Egor:
  • Hogs + healspirit (6) <=> fireball + thelog (6).
  • Hogs (5) <=> fireball + icespirit (5).
  • Hogs + healspirit (6) <=> fireball + icespirit (earlier) + Skeleton at river (6)
  • Hogs (5) <=> fireball + Skeleton (5)
  • Hogs (5) <=> thelog + Skeleton (3) - taking 700 damage.
  • Hogs (5) <=> fireball (4) - taking 200.

When played 2-2 (mid-river):

  • +1 trade: cannon (6-2 placement).
  • 1 trade: fireball 3+2 asap (when they are all on the bridge).

When played 1-3 (offseted mid-river):

  • tbc
Wizard
  • tbc
  • tbc
Balloon
  • Note: explosion damage makes also significant damage. If playing FB, make sure to push opp troop to that bomb.
  • Against hunter: if we zap the hunter, balloon can always score a hit. CWA
  • With icegolem: golem at 0+3, then very short after balloon at 0+4.
  • If OPP uses fireball, we can still get a hit on tower with zap! [22]
Ultimate Balloon Guide
  • When building at 4-2: balloon at 1+5!
  • When building at 3-2 OR 4-1 [23]: balloon at 1+5, then when it starts moving, skeletondragons at 0+3, which will push the balloon to the side!
  • When building at 0-2: megaminion at 2+5 (ideally right when the back of lavahound shadows leaves the 4th row), and instantly (1/2 sec) the balloon at 1+5.
  • When building at 0-2: balloon at 1+5, then instantly (roughly when balloon timer is between 1/2 and 3/4) minions at 0+4.
  • When building at 3-2: lavahound in bottom corner, then when bottom of lavahound shadow no longer touches the 5th row, balloon at 1+5.
  • This is ANTI-TORNADO SPOT: Also works against tornado, this prevents opponent to activate the king tower.
  • Note: these tricks may work when building at other places!
  • When building at 4-1: balloon at 1+5, then 1s later skeletondragons at
  • Against tombstone at 3-2 played on naked balloon: play the balloon at 2+5 (instead of 1+5), this allows to get a hit from the balloon!
  • Against bats: play naked balloon at 0+2, then prepare spell, and instantly zap the bats. When quick enough, bats do not do a single damage to the balloon!
  • Against hunter but opponent is low (zero) on elixir: naked balloon at 0+2 is ok, and will allow a hit on the tower.
  • Against wizard, electrowizard, musketeer, if wizard is targetting the balloon, then fireball the wizard/musketeer towards the balloon death bomb (time the fireball so that it hits the wizard before the time bomb explodes, eg. fire it when wizard is taking is before last shot).
  • Against archerqueen on lavahound + balloon push: if queen is using her ability, this will kill the balloon. Think of using zap to re-focus the queen on the lava!
From Carl's gameplay
  • Synergy lavahound, early play: When lavahound shadow is centered around 8+4 square, can play balloon 10+2.
More
  • Synergy fireball: push things away to help balloon to reach the tower.
  • -2 trade: megaminion at 3+3 (on balloon path).
if balloon + RAGE, then 4+3 instead (only one hit).
  • -1 trade: infernodragon, but put it on the balloon path, middle.
  • fireball, but must aim correctly to move balloon further from tower. If done perfectly, soon not take any shot.
Easiest, balloon in front, aim 6+2 when balloon shadow is fully within 2-sq distance from FB blast circle, roughly same as when balloon touches the blast circle [24].
Or, aim 4+2, and release finger when top of balloon shadow is half-cell distance from river border (see 13:36)
When balloon come sideways, 3+3 placement, release when balloon shadow touches the fireball zone border [25].
  • wizard and electrowizard work well.
  • ramrider very good apparently... May need some extra to avoid any damage though (arrows or archers).
  • Cage: when B at 1+4 (between 1+4 and 1+3, was played at 0+4), Cage at 0-2 still attracts the balloon!
Building
  • tombstone: If balloon 1+5, play 3-2. If balloon 0+4, play 4-2 instead. If balloon in the middle, play 7-3 (ie. on K tower, opposite lane). If tombstone already at 4-3, kite the balloon to the tombstone with a lateral fireball, no more defense needed (if both towers shoot).
  • when one tower down (and no building or electrowizard in OPP's hand), better play balloon at 3+1 (4-sq from pocket) to hit K tower (even if OPP plays executioner).
  • poison: can slow down a naked balloon at the bridge (only death bomb dmg).
  • If tombstone 3-3 (because 3-2 for the other lane), and balloon 0+4, then megaminion 0+4 to boost the balloon into the tombstone.
  • skeletondragons 2+5, if balloon 0+4 (only death bomb).
  • fireball on princess tower, when balloon shadow is touching tower [26] (only death bomb).
Bowler
  • tbc
  • tbc
Cannon Cart
  • When one tower down, playing in the POCKET usually gives lot of damage because it connects very fast.
  • Can be combined with infernotower next to it to defend.
  • darkprince can push the cannoncart very fast. Useful for counterpush (play one or the other last near the bridge), and get a connection by surprise.
  • Against electrogiant, can both attack then DISTRACT the giant if played within range.
  • tbc
Electro Dragon
  • With elixirgolem, synergy to allow golem to pass through ennemy troops. [27]
  • ACTIVATION: any troop at 11-0, or 8-1.
  • if dragon more in the middle, ACTIVATION with eg. musketeer at 6-3 and icespirit at 8-3 (one sq. hop to K tower)
Executioner
  • tbc
  • tbc
Prince
  • tbc
  • +2 trade: tombstone, or skeletonarmy (but beware zap / Log).
Witch
  • tbc
Ram Rider
  • tbc
  • electrowizard destroys her very well.
Archer Queen
  • tbc
  • fireball: 3+2 when she's entering our 1st row.
  • giantsnowball': 2+2 when she's entering our 1st row, then electrospirit (or icespirit) at 0-0 (or close to her) when she's bounced away. [28]

OJ Gaming [30]
  • Counters: (building or tank killer) + (icewizard or tornado and/or icewizard).
  • Beware of RG SUPPORT troops or SPELLS:
  • Don't stack all defense at once.
  • Using swarms: SPACE THEM OUT (space / time), to reduce spell value.
  • Buildings:
  • goblinhut 4-2 + skeletons: perfect.
  • mortar / bombtower 4-3 or 3-3: tank 4 hits.
  • infernotower 4-2: perfect (! zap).
  • Buildings PUSH BACK (! watch for EXCLAMATION mark to confirm CORRECT placement)
  • bridge: wait for RG connection, then 1+3 to push him back (spawning troop will be closer as well). Best for tombstone, goblincage.
  • pocket: 3-2 (also for tesla). Very effective with tombstone.
  • KT: 4-3 for tesla.

  • Combo with:
  • icewizard: alone, 5 hits only instead of 10 hits!
  • icewizard+furnace: perfect.
  • tornado: 2+2 other side with RG on our 1st row to pull it back max.
  • tornado + prince 6+1 when RG entering bridge: 1 hit
  • tank KILLER + icespirit or thelog
  • Tank KILLER + BUILDING.
Giant Skeleton
  • tbc
  • skeletons (+support like bats): play at 0-3 when giant enters 3rd row.
  • minipekka 0+2 when giantskeleton is entering 4th row (perfect).
  • barbarianbarrel (+support like babydragon) 3+2 or 4+2 when giantskeleton is entering 2th row.

  • Any air unit, in particular electrodragon that resets the sparky.
  • tesla, if targetting the sparky.
  • zap can reset it. This can prevent damage on the tower. For instance, zap at the same time as infernodragon attacks sparky is enough to kill it w/o damage.
  • +1 trade: miner, then zap right before it's shooting.
  • cannon, 5-0 can take one hit.
  • fisherman + TANK (skeletongiant), to grab the sparky on our side (sparky shots once)

Royal Recruits
  • tbc
  • tbc
Electro Giant (w)
  • Better play on Elixir x2.
  • Can be used to pressure the other lane.
  • Synergy with motherwitch, by turning defender into hogs, that in turn will attack the tower.
  • Synergy with fisherman, that bring defender in EG stun range.
  • 2.6 hog:
  • outer giant: musketeer at 5+5, then thelog 2+3, then icespirit 4+2 when egiant leaving 2nd row, then cannon 1-1 when egiant leaving 4th row [31].
  • outer giant: musketeer at 5+5, then cannon 1-3 when egiant on 2nd row.
  • freeze + swarm ok since freeze disable dmg reflection.
  • infernodragon or infernotower. infernodragon must be played as far as possible on the side, such that to never come close to EG. infernotower at 4-3 placement from defending tower.
  • But Opp can use spell (giantsnowball, FB...) to bring infernodragon closer, in stun range.
  • If Opp uses tornado to bring defense close to EG, play defense close to K tower, to increase chance that tornado activates the K tower.
  • barbarianhut in the middle.
  • Better defend with troop with high DPS but low attack speed (eg. pekka, minipekka or hunter). So rage is not recommended.
  • TV royale: Play fisherman in 6-2 (but other lane) when EG is 2 square distance from river, it will attract EG to K tower and activate it.
  • A tesla is enough?!?
  • cannoncart if within range, may damage the giant, then distract it as well when it turns into a cannon.
  • mortar also very good because giant will never get hit back damage.
P.E.K.K.A.

Lava Hound
 ☒  TODO: Watch again
  • Strategy from Noc7urne (see also deck below):
  • Drop place for lavahound: 13+5, 13+4 or 13-1 (against tornado), 7+5 (xbow/tesla) and 14-2 (exec).
  • lavahound first play is good move with this deck.
  • Against tornado: drop lavahound at 13+4 or 13+3, so that lavahound can tank for the flank when you drop the support unit closer to the side of the arena.
  • Against executioner: drop 14-2
  • Against xbow or graveyard: play lavahound at 7+5 or 6+5, higher to time it correctly. When tesla comes, balloon behind lavahound, and miner on tesla (+also zap?). This will allow balloon to connect to tower.
  • Against tornado: play lavahound at 13+4 (instead of 13+5). This allows to put unit more on the side, so that lavahound can tank for them.
  • In opposite tower: drop behind King, lavahound will make a turn (good for not splitting troops too much and for building pushes). Typ. against giant decks in 1:1 opp. tower scenario.
  • Don't over extend on defense. Use tower pv as resource to build elixir advantage.
  • Lava, balloon, tomb
  • Some strategy against xbow:
  • Try to go for a tower trade (ie. play other lane?)
  • Split Barbs in middle to defend xbow, so they can tank for a long period.
  • Do not play lava first (random win).
  • Against golem:
  • If golem 1st play in the back, normal time, balloon + minion at bridge is good. Then can defend the push with tombstone (4-3 placement) and megaminion on (support troop 1st).
  • If no balloon or minion in hand, either lavahound same lane or tombstone, then try to cycle.
  • When to play support troop first behind K tower, then by Lava at the bridge?
When we know we gonna need to defend (eg. against giant).
  • Can use Barbs to defend megaminion (against infernodragon).
  • Against Lava, zap the puppies, to let the minions survive.
  • Then play megaminion. If he fireball that, play balloon. Otherwise, just wait and play Lava again in the back.
  • When to play lavahound+balloon: against deck like giant + double princes, but not against deck like tornado and buildings.
  • Against hogrider / executioner:
  • Don't give Ex lot of value. Play strong defense, and strip damage from lavahound and good fireball placement.
  • On Ex at tower, fireball him + tower so that to bring him inside the pups.
  • Play lavahound high (7+5) if feels opp is going to play hogrider, so that to protect minions.
  • Play balloon at bridge to bait the rocket. Do not lavahound+balloon, or give to much value to rocket.
  • Play tombstone to defend the other lane, and must protect it.
  • Start:
  • zapin hand is good start, then tombstone. Look for fireball value.
  • On lane:
  • If one tower down, better build push on other lane (to get defense from our tower).
  • If opp tower low PV, don't kill it to quick, but attack other tower so that K tower is still inactive.
  • fireball: Wait to get good value.
  • balloon: Watch opp anti-aerial troop are out of cycle, then play it. Or lure them on the Lava, and play balloon right behind (very close).
Synergies
  • With balloon obviously ;-)
  • miner: ideally send him before the lava pops, so that he can tank for the puppies.
  • skeletonking: synergy with lava pups. If opp overcommits on defense, skeletonking at the bridge opposite lane takes down the tower.
  • +1 trade: musketeer almost at bridge and bats. lavahound made 0 damage to tower.

Against Lava Pups:

  • 3 elixir: royaldelivery.
  • 4 elixir: tornado + icespirit.
Mega Knight
  • tbc
  • bandit (+4): at 4-3 placement when MK is on the 2nd row [32]
  • +2 trade: barbarians are effective counter if jump negated. 3 will survive, for a +2 elixir trade-off megaknight.
  • tombstone can lure megaknight to activate King's Tower [33].
  • Put tombstone at I05 / H05 (7-2 placement), or more expensive, at I07 / H07 (5-2 placement), then troop (one that is one-shot by megaknight) next to King's tower after it's destruction.
  • tombstone at I06 / H06 (6-2 placement) can have megaknight killed by both towers.
  • skeletons: surround him so that the skullies surround him!
  • skeletonarmy: 5-4 when MK on 2nd row, both towers shoot [34]
  • icespirit: will freeze MK even if it jumps [35].

Troops - 8 elixir

Golem
  • tbc
  • If opp plays golem + lightning, very hard to go same lane because because giving lightning value. Instead [36], drop a knight (only, if 1x elixir time) opposite lane. If opp doesn't respond to it, it will do lot of damage. Then focus on defense (icewizard in the back, tombstone...).
  • Building at 4-3 will make golemites to split (at least true for bombtower).

Troops - 9 elixir

Troop How to play How to counter
Three Musketeers
  • tbc
  • arrows + lavahound: try to shoot them all with arrows, then distract with lavahound close to our tower (ideally with support troop like valkyrie).

  • If air unit, put at 3-square distance (so 4th square away) from shadow (ie shadow outside of circle).

Goblin Barrel
(Guess placement)
  • SAFE PLAY: play barrel on outer corner (7+3), which is tornado safe placement.
  • Basic synergy: barrel + tank (knight...).
  • Must aim so that barrel lands as soon as TANK is being FOCUSED.
  • If opp doesn't have good counter, focus on defense and chip with the barrel!
  • Against arrows: Use skeletonarmy to bait the arrows, or punish with skeletonarmy.
  • NEVER barrel into a darkprince.
  • Tricky barrel: first identify opp's counters to know which trick to play. Also, always TANK (eg. icegolem) the tricky barrel since it is dealing less damage otherwise. Tricky barrel is a MIND game.
  • DEEP barrel at 11+2 (hard to spot).
  • DEEPER barrel at 12+2 (easy to spot).
  • OUTER barrel at 8+5 or 10+5 (easy to spot).
  • INNER barrel at 8+1 (so INSIDE tower), usually much better than OUTER, and NOT in RANGE of 2nd tower. Beware of icespirit!
  • ANTI-knight barrel at 9+1, good against knight/valkyrie/guards.
  • ANTI-SWARM barrel at 7+2, good against gang in the back.
  • PUMP barrel at 13+5, good against elixircollector if opp doesn't have log in rotation.
  • Against lonely king: play INSIDE FRONT of king (eg. 10-3), reaches faster and usually opp's play counter in the back!
  • Against fireball, play 5+2. Sometimes players miss their fireball! [38]
  • Excellent SYNERGY with giantsnowball, in particular against skeletonarmy. Time the snowball so that to land when the army appears (usually 1 or 2s after). It also slow down a bit the tower.
  • Tower hit order for centered barrel: first INNER, then OUTER, then REAR goblin. So put the TANK at 8+4.
  • thelog, barbarianbarrel (+1): ! tricky barrel.
  • giantsnowball (+1): when shadow at 3+1!
  • goblins: play at 10+2 (play fast!)
  • arrows (0).
  • skeletonarmy (0): play at 10+2.
  • tornado (0): play at 7-2.
  • goblingang (0): play at 10+2.
  • archer + skeletons (0): play archers at 6+2 and skullies at 10+2.
  • skeletons + zap (0): play skeletons at 9+4 then zap.
  • FRONT barrel: skeletons at 6+2 will force re-target onto the skeletons.
  • guards (0, one hit): play FAST at 9+4 (or 8+4 seems ok too?).
  • valkyrie (-1, perfect if timed correctly): 10+2 perfect (Drop valkyrie as soon as barrel is casted [39]). Otherwise, easiest 6+2, or 9+4, before shadow crosses river.
  • hunter (-1): best 10+2.
  • electrowizard (-1, one hit): best 10+2, when shadow on 1st, 2nd or 3rd row. But Opp may counter with barrel one square up. Alternative, 8+4 when shadow is on 1st row [40]
  • bowler (-2): play at 10+2.
  • megaknight (-4): play at 10+2 when shadow touches the river.
  • electrospirit, firespirit: ??? (!zap prediction)
  • icespirit: 8+4.
  • skeletondragons: play at 8+4.
  • icegolem: 8+4, can also RESET the OUTER goblin by pushing him.
  • musketeer 8+4, useful when thelog is out-of-cycle (eg. against logbait decks).
  • zappies: 9+4, to tank 2 goblins.
  • Bait deck (eg. barrel + princess): do NOT log the princess!
  • Bait deck with skeletonbarrel: cannon 4+1 on skeletonbarrel, then on goblinbarrel, skeletons at 10+4 asap (shadow on 3rd opp side), and icegolem at 7+4 (shadow 5th row our side).

Cannon

From YersonCz gameplay:

  • hogrider: 3-2 or 4-2. 3-3 or 2-3 will NOT aggro!
  • If cannon already 3-3, play skeletons or icegolem at 2+3 to boost it towards the cannon.
  • earthquake-SAFE: 0-4 ASAP (0-3 is NOT SAFE), but first icegolem (or skeletons) at 0+3 ASAP to boost.
  • hogrider in the pocket: 7-2.
  • royalgiant: 4-3 (from anywhere). Perfect with skeletons + musketeer.
  • dartgoblin: 4-3, sniped by goblin but at least tower shoots it down.
  • graveyard: 6-0, to defend. As a result, against giant, play 3-2 instead (to leave room for 2nd cannon).
  • electrogiant: from CENTER, 4-3 or 2-4 (4-4 DOES NOT WORK).
  • golem: OUTER golem, cannon 0-3 then push golem with thelog 0+4 [43]
  • tbc
Tombstone
  • Pro seems to play frequently at (4-2).
  • Play at 4-2 (or symm. 4-3)
  • 3-4: Against troop that targets building, if opp plays them on the middle. Eg. Ideal against electrogiant.
  • 5-2: Against dartgoblin (because dartgoblin can snipe at 4-2 or 4-3 from bridge...).
  • ONE TOWER DOWN: 0-2 against hogrider, royalhogs, balloon to attract them to 2nd tower [44].
Best tips (Carl the Legend)
  • hogrider: 3-3 placement when expecting hogrider. When not, play 2+4 (is 2+3 / 2+2 ok ? At least TS must be IN THE WAY).
  • electrospirit: 10+1 placement, when tower shoots first arrow (spirit at 3rd square). Only early in game, if tower still has lot hp.
  • GY: 10+3 placement, on tower with much less hp (don't play if they are even because opp would choose other tower).
  • electrogiant: wait EG (eg. lavahound in back opp lane), then play 4-4 when EG at bridge if EG from the middle, or 4-3 if EG from the outside.
  • If lane is tanked (eg. by lavahound), play tombstone 5-2, so that skeletons stack on the electrogiant.
  • goblinbarrel: 10+3 placement (to also avoid opp cycling his Log).
  • balloon: If balloon 1+5, play 3-2. If balloon 0+4, play 4-2 instead. If balloon in the middle, play 7-3 (ie. on K tower, opposite lane).
If tombstone already at 4-3, kite the balloon to the tombstone with a lateral fireball, no more defense needed (if both towers shoot).
If balloon after lava, put tombstone, then fireball balloon when it comes back (eg. aim 4+1, ie. blast circle at level of balloons cell shadow and touching that cell shadow, this should also touch the lava), then zap. Alternatively, can we push the balloon to the other lane with fireball?
  • ramrider: Usually don't play in the middle, because rider will charge and destroy in one hit. If played at the bridge, 1+3 will prevent charge.
4-4 (!) when coming from center (naked rider, no other troops), 4-3 if from front / outer.
  • skeletonarmy: Play 6-2. Predict this move when eg. playing Lava in the back.
  • elitebarbarians: Play 5-2.
More (from Carl videos)
  • earthquake: Play 0-3.
  • Against giant+skeletonarmy in the pocket: play at 6-0, then fireball [45].
  • megaknight / fisherman: tombstone 6-2.
  • royalghost: tombstone 6-2 or 7-2.
  • RG in the pocket: tombstone 3-2! This pushes the RG.
  • golem: Play 4-3 early (even if from corner), then lava same lane (to tank while we defend the golem) (see golem tip video).
  • golem: some vid said play same lane, 5-2, such that skeleton piles up. In which video this was? It seems Carl does this when lavahound is tanking, so that skeletons do indeed pile up.
  • pekka: also must play so that skeletons go to the pekka. But where?
  • lumberjack+elitebarbarians bridge: skeletondragons 7+4 (outer), and tombstone 3-3 (for elitebarbarians kite, also out of arrows range).
  • valkyrie: deep tombstone 5-2 flawless.
  • giant: 4-3 attracts the giant.
  • darkprince: 5-2 is flawless defense.
  • elitebarbarians: 5-2.
  • mightyminer: 3-3
  • balloon at 0+2: tombstone at 4-3.
  • elixirgolem: 5-2 (if early, to have skeletons to accumulate on golem), 4-3 (to kite and split golemites) or 4-4 (max kite for center golem).
  • mortar: deep tombstone opposite lane (like 4-3).
  • giantskeleton: 4-3 (and ideally another troop, but in the back of giant to avoid death bomb)
  • mightyminer: With one tower down, 10+2, so that flow of skeletons counter the miner ability.
  • bandit: 6-2 tombstone survives [46].
  • fisherman: 4-2, fisherman locks on tombstone, but w/o doing any damage to it [47]
More (from me)
  • royalgiant: 4-3 still attract RG, but 2 shots kill it.
  • royalgiant: 3-3.
  • To kill backup troops, or in prediction of backup troops (eg. megaknight in front of a sparky), better play defense troop on the outer edge (eg. 1+5), with a center tombstone.
Reset / pushback
  • royalgiant: 1+3 pushes back the giant.
  • prince: 4+3 pushes back the prince.
4 elixir
Mortar
  • tbc
  • tombstone: play at 6-3 (opp. lane, usually opp will fireball)
  • icespirit: play at 6-4
Tesla
  • tbc
  • tbc
Bomb Tower
  • tbc
  • tbc
Furnace
  • tbc
  • skeletons: Cancel two waves at 13+5 when a spirit spawns from a furnace at 4-2 plant [48]
Goblin Cage
  • giant (middle): 4-4!
  • tbc
Goblin Drill
  • Play IN FRONT of the tower, so that goblins spawn immediately on tower.
  • Play with a TANK behind the tower, so that it takes focus, and protects the spawning goblins.
  • guards, excellent defense.
  • valkyrie, darkprince.
  • cannon, 4+2 placement. In front of tower to defend against troops coming from bridge.
5 elixir
Goblin Hut
  • tbc
  • tbc
Inferno Tower
  • tbc
  • tbc
6 elixir
Elixir Collector
  • tbc
  • Usually fireball is not a good play because OPP will likely have a better card to play (eg. three musketeers.
  • Best response is to punish the OPP for the loss of 6 elixir.
X-Bow
  • Against golem/electrogiant, if opp plays 4-elixir card, play xbow opposite lane [49].
  • Typ. placement is 1+5 (side), or 1+3 (front tower). ie leave one square from river, to allow defense by troop or another building.
  • infernodragon if xbow is high.
7 elixir
Barbarian Hut
  • tbc
  • tbc

King's activation

  • Against firecracker:
  • when firecracker at N14, and babydragon at K07/K08 when shooting.
  • When firecracker going to dash, tornado at 9-2.

Fandom "y-x placement"
  • Used on Fandom wiki.
  • Principle is (distance from River)-(distance from P tower).
  • So 7-2 for tombstone would mean I05 or H05, 5-2 would mean I07 or H07.
  • 7-0 for a troop would mean next to tower, right behind north edge.
  • In case of building, we take the distance between the building edge, not the bottom left corner.
  • When building is in front of P tower, we still use the same edge as reference. Eg 2+4 placement for tombstone would mean putting it on 2+4 to 4+2 square. Alternatively we can say 2-(-4).
Extended "y-x placement"
  • An extension I'm using for more precision.
  • y-x has same meaning as above, but for inside placement, ie. zone between both P towers.
  • y+x works the same, but for outside placement, and above P towers.
Full coordinate system
  • Something I made up.
  • For buildings, we use bottom left tile as reference.
  • Corners have several equiv coordinates (eg. n1 same as w1).
Terminology
  • Some naming I hear here and there.
  • Front inside corner: w2 or e2 (ie. 7-0).
  • In the pocket: in the corner in opp's field, when one tower is down.

  • Pull power depends on the hit box radius:
  • Passive buildings (barbarianhut, goblinhut, furnace, tombstone, elixircollector) have a 1.0 hit box radius.
  • Active buildings (cannon, bombtower, infernotower, mortar, xbow) have a 0.6 hit box radius.
  • tesla has a 0.5 hit box radius.
  • golem has slightly shortest sight than giant.

4-2
  • golem
  • icegolem
  • giant
  • musketeer
  • infernotower will TANK both giant + musketeer
  • dartgoblin can shot PASSIVE building across river, but only from bridge for ACTIVE building (however still out-of-range from P tower). Better use 5-2.

  • musketeer
  • hogrider
  • Best to have spawners to stack up units on tanks.
  • Safe from dartgoblin, but will not pull anything from other lane.
4+2 active
  • Best against lavahound + royalgiant with swarm (RG will not distract P tower).
3-3 (ACTIVE anti-FB position)
  • PASSIVE: ramrider
  • PASSIVE: hogrider
  • ACTIVE: ramrider
  • ACTIVE: hogrider

Speed vs elixir

speed elixir rate (x1) elixir rate (x2) elixir rate (x3)

SLOW (lavahound)

  • ~5.7 / 13 squares.

MEDIUM (phoenix)

  • ~4.3 / 13 squares.

FAST (skeletondragons)

  • ~3 elixir / 12 squares.
  • ~2.5 elixir / 10 squares.
  • ~1 elixir / 4 squares.
  • (x1) When lavahound' bottom corner, collected almost 5 elixir (~4.8) by the time lavahound reaches the balloon pushback spot (ie. lavahound shadow fully on 3rd-4th row).
  • So almost always possible to play ideal balloon when playing lavahound in the corner.
  • (x1) When full elixir, play lavahound on 7TH ROW (ie 6+5) to have enough elixir to play a perfect balloon.
  • (x1) When playing phoenix bottom corner, need at least 7 ELIXIR in order to play lavahound in front of the phoenix at the river.

Commented game

Against DIOS (lvl 8, challenge)
  • Opponent play first card badly, 7 elixir, next to K tower. Should play it really bottom of the map, and behind the K tower.
  • We play a Zappy, really bottom. They'll meet at bridge on our side. When ennemy at bridge, play dragon to freeze it (to protect Zappy, making sure it takes no damage).
  • Opponent plays a sorcerer and some giant, we play a mega pekka like giant, still to protect Zappy. Then a miner, to kill the sorcerer.
  • We have lot of elixir still alive, when opponent has nothing.
  • We play a fire archer, to protect against aerial stuff if any.
Commented game - Against Dinho (lvl 5, arena 4, battle)
  • I play musketeer as first card, ok.
  • Opponent play goblinbarrel, we kill with arrows, ok (but could we have let the musketeer do the kill?)
  • We play giant at bridge, not good. Should have let musketeer continue. Now we spent lot of elixir, and are weak against counter push.
  • Opp. play pekka behind giant, and knight.
  • We play minions, but too far. Should have waited for ennemy to come closer to tower.
Commented game - Against Aldobaglio (lvl 10)
  • Was playing with witch, balloon, electrowizard, ramrider, bats, goblingang, giantsnowball, tesla.
  • witch + balloon ok, but must play balloon as close as possible to bridge (or Opp has more time to react).
  • giantsnowball against megaknight was useless. Lose 2 elixir, and megaknight only loses 1 hit.
  • Use electrowizard damage when it spawns.
  • ramrider against princess very good.

TV Royale

Miscellaneous
  • bomber: Play in front on K tower, in particular when other building in the middle. Very effective to defend.
  • tornado: to break apart some defensive troop (eg. disconnect a infernodragon), or to concentrate troop when there is bomber that can attack.
  • xbow:
  • how to counter? a icegolem to distract then a barbarianbarrel. hunter can also attack. thelog + earthquake + eg. bomber.
  • threemusketeer: countered by a tesla in the middle, shot by P tower and 3 skeletons on them to distract.
  • P tower finish cycle: royalhogs, earthquake, log, skel, hogs, earthquake, bomber, log,
  • Against mortar: miner in middle our tower, start moving, and mortar always miss it.
  • Against cannon cart: guards are good counter (2 stay alive).
  • Push with lavahound: Play miner against tower before lavahound explodes, so that tower spots the miner and puppies are free to attack.
  • Can be played with lavahound: flyingmachine, babydragon.
  • Defend with tesla:
  • Nice to attract troop.
  • Add defense, like goblingang close to it, so they can attack troops coming from both side. princess is also a nice one.
  • princess:
  • Usually a bait for miner. miner can be countered with skeletonarmy, or goblingang. Be ready to play either one as soon as miner is launched.
  • Against infernodragon:
  • Spam unit very good to distract (eg. Skel army).
  • hogrider at bridge (in fact, one square outside the lane, so that HR jumps).
  • Response is tombstone next to tower, on HR path. HR put one hit, then killed by Skel.
  • Push with Lava + I Dragon.
  • Counter by fireball so that to kill lavahound + almost infernodragon. Add a wizard (middle, but so that he moves to other lane) to distract infernodragon.
  • When pups are being killed, add balloon + minions behind. This killed the tower.
  • With 2.6 deck:
  • Against princess, cannon at I14 or J14 (or H14, K14).
  • Against goblinbarrel, thelog.
  • Keep troops well separated, to avoid FB bait.
  • Against valkyrie, icespirit when she's shot by tower. Skel also good distract but not on her, she must not kill them in one shot.
  • Cycle the hogrider, use FB to kill defender (prepare for it, this will eat tower too!).
  • If infernotower, foresee a icespirit, so that hogrider can kill it (this also allows cycling HR faster then).
  • If infernotower too close of river, use skel to distract her, then hogrider.
  • (Maybe infernotower can be FB too?)
  • Change HR push: sometimes with icegolem, sometimes with Skel. Sometimes add musketeer as support.
  • icespirit at bridge may hit tower.
  • Against infernodragon, icegolem on n1-n5 tower side good to distract.


skully - playing with goblinbarrel, tesla, princess, goblingang, icespirit, valkyrie, thelog, rocket
  • Play goblinbarrel regularly (eg. as first card) to take damage.
  • Against megaknight: play tesla in middle, then valkyrie at bridge, behind megaknight to slow it down (it is killed by tower, tesla and valkyrie).
  • Against minipekka: goblingang close to tesla to attract minipekka.
  • rocket against tower, witch and elixirgolem (hitting all three of them).
iosama - playing fireball, zappies, flyingmachine, cage, hogs, e-spirit, B barrel, recruits.
  • Always play zappies between tower (so they split), or behind K tower.
  • To defend, drop when ennemy on bridge.
  • Play recruits in the back.
  • FB against motherwitch.
  • Cage against hogs. Add zappies if needed, close to K tower.
  • Note that Goblin bowler hits very hard! (279 @ level 9)
  • Play hogs in middle, close to river.
  • e-spirit to distract (eg. against megaknight).
saed - playing with lavahound/miner/inferno D, barbarian, skel D, zap, arrows.
  • Direct push balloon then lavahound.
  • Push Inferno D in the back, then add barbarian at bridge.
  • Skel D to defend.

Draft tips

Triple Draft

  • Avoid xbow or elixirgolem, unless you know how to play these cards, and have already a few cards to support them.
  • Keep an eye on the cards of your opponent, and be prepared (eg. could he have freeze, tornado, etc), and what card he cannot have.
  • Build deck around the win condition. wallbreakers too fragile. Avoid megaknight, because if opp defends well, you cannot win.
  • earthquake is hard to pick without knowing opposite deck.
  • Try to pick a tank.
Deck from Ouahleouff twitch
  • witch, lumberloon, valkyrie, freeze, rage, archers, snowball, graveyard

  • poison, flyingmachin, rascals, goblincage, goblindrill, barbarianbarrel, wizard, cannoncart.
  • hogrider, earthquake, electrowizard, bomber, thelog, tesla, goblins, megaminion.
  • Here play hog + earthquake.
  • giantsnowball, rascals, goblinbarrel, cannoncart, dartgoblin, infernobarrel, witch, rocket.

Took giant over electrogiant.
The BEST Triple Draft Challenge Strategy (15-0) | Clash Royale — JuicyJ Gaming
  • musketeer of course, firecracker can be annoying (for him, given counter), rascals super useful, pigs, recruits for splitting synergy (with pigs), fireball.
  • bandit, infernodragon, flyingmachine, elitebarbarians, thelog, poison, royalghost, wallbreakers.
  • thelog', ramrider (against balloon if he takes), bandit for ramrider synergy (?), skeletonarmy, fireball, megaminion, infernotower, magicarcher.
  • fireball, bandit, megaminion, megaknight, magicarcher, skeletonbarrel, thelog, darkprince.

Best Triple Draft Tournament Tips and Tricks! Easy Wins!

  • sparky, zap, giant (makes more sense, need to pay attention against graveyard, but he doesn't take any though !?!), megaminion, fireball, infernodragon, prince, minipekka.
  • bats, giantsnowball, bomber, royalgiant, fisherman (synergy with RG), wizard (because lot of splash value in 3-draft), skeletons, lightning.
  • teslta (because pekka would be countered by infernotower), xbow (because balloon could be countered by ramrider), fireball, firespirit, thelog, zappies, megaminion (against flyingmachine), bomber.

Tips:

  • Remember opponent selection for WIN CONDITIONS, then pick SPELLS based on that if possible.

TRIPLE DRAFT TOURNAMENT DRAFTING TIPS & TRICKS! - CLASH ROYALE - BossCR

  • Pick good win conditions. If picking several (like miner), make sure to pick only if good synergy (eg. mortar + miner ok, but royalhogs + miner doesn't make sense).
  • Remeber what SPELLS the opponent MAY have, or may NOT have. Same for important cards like megaknight.
  • Good win conditions: miner, hogrider.
  • Good spell: fireball, arrows.
  • Good cards: firecracker, recruits (fit a variety of decks), cannoncart (fit a variety of decks), pekka, magicarcher, valkyrie
  • Good building: tombstone.
  • Pick cards for which we know OPP doesn't have good counter (eg. we take or could take fireball, so we pick flyingmachine).
Things I learned
  • freeze is the most OP choice. Keep it as a surprise ideally when win condition is on the tower, or as last ressort defense, ideally in synergy with other splash damage.
  • balloon gets easily distracted. Hard to play.

Standard draft

  • royalrecruits very good. Always pick.
  • witch over nightwitch.
  • elixirgolem never.
  • archerqueen over goldenknight.
  • electrogiant very good, in particular with tornado.
  • musketeer, over electrowizard or hunter.
  • Good cards: zappies,...
  • winconditions:
GOOD: royalhogs
BAD: xbow (need good deck), wallbreakers (too weak)
  • spells:
GOOD: fireball, earthquake (depending on wincondition)
  • counterplay:
  • If we have fireball, take fireball bait cards: flyingmachine, zappies, barbarians.
  • synergies:
  • tornado with area damage cards (icewizard, babydragon, electrogiant, executioner)
  • DO NOT take icewizard without tornado.


Mega draft

From Orange Juice Gaming
  • IDENTIFY a win condition, and pick a card that COUNTERS it best. Then if opponent didn't pick that win condition, take it (like at 3rd or 4th card).
  • Best to pick the champion LAST, if necessary.
  • Pick counters to OPP selection or cards that synergize well (skeletonbarrel and miner).
  • Avoid lavahound, golem, or any win condition that must be supported.
  • Good winning conditions seem to be: skeletonbarrel, goblinbarrel, goblindrill.
From Ryley CR [50], [51]
  • Pick a big spell first if there are good ones (poison, fireball)
  • Try to pick winning condition at the end, and build a deck that works with any win condition.
  • Picked monk because only few good counters (infernodragon, electrodragon, other cards dies).
  • Picked fireball to counter archers because only good big damage spell against them.
  • Synergy: wallbreakers with miner (first).
From Λιzєη
  • Check what are the big spells, and if there are not many, pick your big spell first.
From Ouah Leouff
  • Pick spells first.
  • Look all the cards and try to come up quickly with an overall plan.
  • Pick the win condition late.
  • If OPP picks the win condition early, try to adapt to it.
  • Find nice combos:
  • electrogiant + tornado (pick it first). Nice addition is goldenknight and lightning.
Clash Royale FR
  • En général j'essaie de regarder en premier les sorts
  • Et d'isoler mentalement les cartes qui sont dures à contrer car y a pas de sort pour ou alors qu'un seul
  • Je jette un coup d'oeil aux wc
  • J'essaie de choisir la wc le plus tard possible aussi
  • Pour m'adapter au deck en face et celui que j'ai construit
  • Et le premier choix essayer de prendre un truc passe partout
  • Genre mg, gobelins, bdn ou bûche en fonction des possibilités de cartes
Viiper [52]
  • Pick polyvalent cards (like icespirit).
  • Try to predict the deck, and counter it.
  • Don't take win condition too early (ideally last), while keeping as many options as possible.

Mirror tips

From Ouah Leouff [53]
  • Keep mirror for SUPPORT cards. Usually the decks don't have good spells, it's better to keep mirror for the defense rather than for the winning condition. We save cards in defense to then build a counter-push.

Heist draft tips

Tips from Orange Juice [54] [55]
  • Favor aerian units, and air control unit absolutely! Make sure air is kept under control at all time.
  • Favor units that last on the map (ie. no spirit, no wallbreakers).
  • Favor units that actually kill units (favor barbarianbarrel over giantsnowball).
  • Best building targetters are royalgiant and electrogiant.
  • Good: witches (they spawn infinite things :-) ), electrodragon (better than magicarcher), magicarcher, flyingmachine, princess (difficult to counter), miner (better than princess and arrows).
  • Bad: earthquake, giant
  • giantsnowball > lightning, arrows > fireball, royaldelivery > rocket (because a troop), goblinhut > furnace (because speargoblins last on the map).
  • Usually flying units are better, splash is better as well.
  • Combo: graveyard + poison.

Decks

Clashical's decks

Ladder deck 4.1 (Season 48-49, June-July 2023)
  • Back to classic lavaloon with barbarians and evobarbarians.
  • This card is a pillar in defense, and can't counter alone many pushes!
  • Played in the first half of season 48 to get faster the 3 crows and slash royale rewards.
  • Continued till season end because deck is stronger than lavaminer, and got even stronger with evobarbarians
  • Season 48: first time Ultimate Champion with this deck, winrate 57%, ELO 1656!

Ladder deck 4.1 (Season 44-47, February-May 2023)
  • A stronger variant proposed by Innvader. This deck is definitely easier to play than the variant below with skeletonking.
  • The barbarians are really good to defend any push (megaknight, royalgiant, electrogiant, hogrider, elitebarbarians...). Keep them for defense.
  • Reached arena 20 (season 44, 7500 trophies) with this deck!!!
  • Win rate on the last games: 15 wins, 7 losses.

Ladder deck 3.9 (Season 40-44, Oct-2022 to February 2023)
  • One of the Top 3 Lava Hound Phoenix Decks 🔥 from Carl, but with skeletonking instead of the monk.
  • Works great, even with end of season nerf of the phoenix.
  • Before phoenix nerf, playing mirror instead of skeletondragons worked great (combo was phoenix + mirror), however this variant is better.
  • This decks works also great in 2v2.

Cr-lavahound.png Cr-miner.png Cr-skeletonking.png Cr-skeletondragons.png Cr-flyingmachine.png Cr-phoenix.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-arrows.png

Mastery deck (Season 41, November 2022)
  • A deck to farm the graveyard mastery, and to learn play graveyard + giant.
  • The meta variant is with the archerqueen instead of the witch.
  • Best player is EL PATRON, see video from Ouah Leouff for some example gameplay.
  • Main focus is on defense! So we SHOULD NOT start with giant in the back, but instead with either witch or darkprince.
  • Use giant at the bridge in front of surviving troops to build a counter push.
  • Nice combos are:
  • giant, then graveyard. This works also great in the pocket. Play graveyard first, then giant last second to grab both tower focus.
  • giant and minions.
  • giant and witch.
  • graveyard (or skeletonarmy) and giantsnowball (to freeze a bit the tower and help skeletons to accumulate).
  • Alternatively, darkprince can also be used as mini-tank instead of the giant.
  • Against motherwitch, use arrows + giantsnowball.
  • Against logbait and infernotower, naked graveyard works ok-ish, can also send minions to grab focus.

Ladder deck 3.9 (Season 38-41, August 2022)
  • A variant of CAL Miro (love) DOoOM deck, but with valkyrie iso skeletonking
  • See also Boss_CR, variant with infernodradon instead of megaminion.
  • Seems very effective in midladder, offers lot of offense / defense, and counterplay (eg. with miner to increase power of a counterpush).
  • Season 38 (aug 2022): Got 6184 trophees !
  • Exp n/a, Cards: 21 level 14 (5 leg), 5 level 13 (1 leg), 6 level 12 (2 leg) , 5 level 11 (2 leg, excl champions).
  • Season 39 (Sep 2022): Got 6313 trophees !
  • Said to be a lavahound miner control deck. So the idea is to counter push. We can use the miner to bait an attack from the opponent, then defend ideally (e.g. megaminion on valkyrie) and play lavahound in front to counterpush.
  • Against threemusketeers+elixircollector, try to hit them all with arrows, then distract with lavahound close to our tower, and/or valkyrie.

Cr-lavahound.png Cr-miner.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-skeletondragons.png Cr-flyingmachine.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-arrows.png

Ladder deck 3.8 (Season 37, July 2022)
  • Playing with mirror because it is cancer, and arrows to deal with all cheap counters. arrows + mirror also kills multiple wizards, musketeers on a large area for only 7 elixir.
  • Ended with 5971 trophees.
  • Was quite fun to play, and mirror offers lot of counterplay, but the gameplay was quite different from Carl's deck (no zap).

Ladder deck (2021-12-06 onwards, arena 15)
  • Played a bit in arena 14 (2021-09-13), Was a bit easier to play than Boris' deck below, but difficult to manage the skeletondragons, who are very fragile.
  • (2021-11-10) Played by CMG Asuna.
  • (2021-11-21) Played by Carl The Legend (see 2021-11 twich royal tournament)
  • hogrider: play tombstone in lane.
  • play lava opp. lane.
  • play mega to defend lava.
  • after fb on lava, balloon + guards opp lane.
  • on executioner in the back: balloon spam opp lane. If electrowizard / tornado: guards. On Ex, megaminion.
  • Against lumberjack+balloon spam: skeletondragons 5+3
  • On ex middle, fireball sideways (on him + tower) to push him further.
  • Mostly play tombstone at 4-2 or 4-3.
  • against megaknight, tombstone at 7-2
  • Against CENTRE elixirgolem, tombstone 4-4 still attracts it!
  • Against witch: balloon on opp lane. Then on witch, megaminion on her.
  • Against spawners: seems best to go opp lane first, for tower trade. Possibly slow down spawn with tombstone (best if deep one?). Then we to get 2nd tower, go with skullies / valkyrie as support.
  • Tips:
  • balloon + guard bridge spam.
  • Against mortar: tombstone at 6-2 (will fireball, hence we can play skullies).
  • Against princess + bats + rocket: always fireball the princess. Never balloon same lane as lava. Wait princess and bats to be out of cycle, then balloon opposite lane to force +1 elixir trade.
  • Hard-counters: What can we do against
  • xbow, tesla, rocket, thelog, archerqueen, valkyrie, electrospirit, tornado
electrospirit + rocket annihilates balloon (it seems)
  • Some interactions:
  • lavahound+balloon: if undefended, 3-crown the opponent in 45s after lava first play in the corner (at least against lvl 12 opp). So indep. of opp play in other lane, this is guaranteed win if we can defend long enough.
  • Hard-counters (when playing valkyrie + arrows):
  • skeletonarmy, zap, icegolem, princess, hogrider, infernotower, minionhorde, rocket
(golem blocks our support troop, tower / horde tear down our lava / balloon)

Ladder deck 4.3 (2021-11-01 onwards, arena 15)
  • Variant from Rakan love Lava, where fireball replaces arrows.
  • Played the whole Nov 21 season with this deck, reached 5634 trophees.

Cr-lavahound.png Cr-infernodragon.png Cr-miner.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-barbarians.png Cr-skeletondragons.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

Ladder deck 4.1 (2021-10-01 onwards, arena 14 and arena 15)
  • Deck from CLASHwithSHANE, used to reach Legendary arena (arena 15).
  • fireball to one-shot some defenders, zap to reset infernodragon / infernotower, or to reset targetting some troops (like minipekka, etc) or finish some troop quickly, or also zap + fireball to one-shot lots of troop. zap+fb is expensive, so do it with value (aim several troops, or cover tower). Better zap first, then FB, but sometimes FB can be used to bring closer some troop, then zap them.
  • elitebarbarians for defense mainly, but also as quick punishment at bridge if opponent over commit (he is at 0 elixir).
  • lavahound as main tank. Use it to build a push, or as a shield to protect P tower. Make sure enemy troop is stopped after the bridge so that they are shot by our tower (this requires timing). Make sure to add a second troop to get more value (like baby or infernodragon), or before lavahound pops, send miner to tank the damage and get value from puppies.
  • miner to snipe some defending troop, or as a tank for puppies. Also effective against megaknight, combined with infernodragon.
  • skeletonarmy effective against electrowizard, pekka and minipekka, knight, hogrider, royalhogs, goblinbarrel... NOT EFFECTIVE against darkprince, princess if far, wizard, witch.

Don't:

  • If opp has cannon, don't play elitebarbarians, at least if both towers are up. They'll be attracted, and most likely killed for no gain.

Some Counters:

  • xbow: best counter is infernodragon. If with tesla, fireball and/or babydragon.
  • Played the whole Oct 21 season, reached ~5400 trophees.
  • Challenge: Won 4 times.

Ladder deck (since 2021-09-14)
  • Very offensive deck (4.1 avg).
  • tombstone against prince.
  • Q?: Can we put tombstone close to K tower so that to force activation of K tower (eg. if opponent uses fireball or executioner?).
  • miner: Use miner before lavahound split in puppies, to get spot from tower, and tank damage for puppies. miner can be used in a lot of mini-counter push to tank damage before defending troop gets to towers. Can also be used to defend in emergencies.
  • arrows: Ideally to destroy distracting troop in a push / counter push. Better not use it against arrow baits (like goblinbarrel). For these, use dragons or barbarians.
  • Skeleton dragon: lot of damage, but very weak. DO NOT USE Skel D AGAINST wizard OR executioner AND ALIKE.
  • infernodragon: can be used as first card. Ideal if opp put a big troop on same side. If possible then a lavahound on front to distract all units that could attack infernodragon.
  • WHAT THE FUCK CAN I DO AGAINST THE witch?
  • Answers: let it come to the bridge, use lavahound as a shield to distract her. Skeleton will be shot by tower (if not too many), or foresee a small defense troop that will then follow lavahound as support.
  • If using zap, miner on witch then zap is a 5-5 elixir trade-off.

Cr-lavahound.png Cr-infernodragon.png Cr-miner.png Cr-barbarians.png Cr-flyingmachine.png Cr-skeletondragons.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-arrows.png

Ladder deck (played until 2021-09-12)
  • zap against infernodragon or infernotower. However requires another offensive aerial troop (like minions).
  • Was a bit hard to play.
  • Played by CHN | Boris (8PQRQG90C, reached #37 in TV).

Cr-lavahound.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-barbarians.png Cr-minions.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

Ladder deck (played since 2021-09-01)
  • My first lavahound deck, made by my coach ;-). Was very effective and fun to play.
  • Goal is to build a push. lavahound must be at front, tanking the damage. Behind, a balloon to deal damage to tower, and/or other troops to defend against wizard, etc.
  • Be able to take damage on our tower to build a counter push (eg. wait the lavahound to reach our tower before putting a defensive troop, like megaminion, to defend our tower). The idea is that our defensive troop must stay alive, behind the lavahound.
  • Push / counter-push
  • Main push: lavahound and balloon behind.
  • bomber + mega-minion or bomber + valkyrie may also do lot of damage.
  • lavahound + minions also deadly. minions could be used to defend then catch up lavahound for counter-push.

Cr-lavahound.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-minions.png Cr-bomber.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-arrows.png

Ladder deck (played since 2021-08-21)
  • Play mainly defensively.
  • Goal is to distract ennemy, making sure ennemy towers are aiming at eg. giantskeleton, then throw goblinbarrel on same tower (who will then do lot of damage until giant is killed).
  • Watch what kind of defense any has against goblinbarrel.
Clash royale-deck-battle-20210821.png
Ladder deck (last played 2021-08-19)
  • Play mainly defensively.
  • Put a giant at the bottom of the map. giant may slow down an ennemy attack by taking damage, and/or build a counter-push by putting behind a musketeer.
  • Against barbarianbarrel: bomber, arrows, minions, skeletonarmy.
  • skeletonarmy ideal against knight. But it opponent plays knight a mass area defender (eg. valkyrie or babydragon), play first minions to get the spot, then the army on the knight.

  • Previous deck was expensive to up (4 leg), however should fallback to it because was mainly a defensive deck, and I need to train that :-).
  • Swap deck 2 and 4 (to play better decks in duel -- turns out not to be that true according to stats)

Ladder deck (2021-12-21, played from arena 10 to 14)
  • hogrider 2.6 cycle, well-known meta deck
  • (mid-jan 2022) Played whole arena 10, and reached 11 with hogrider 9, musketeer 10, golem 9, spirit 9, skel 9, cannon 10, fb 10, log 10 (king 8). Was very though.
  • (mid-jan 2022) Reached arena 12 with same level. Best with level above in arena 12 was around 4050 trophies.
  • (beg-feb 2022) Reached arena 13 and 14 with hogrider 11, musketeer 11, golem 10, spirit 10, skel 10, cannon 12, fb 12, log 12 (king 9). Was quite easy with that card level.
  • Currently: hogrider 11, musketeer 12, golem 10, icespirit 10, skeletons 11, cannon 12, fireball 12, thelog 12 (king 9). Spent the whole season 32 with that level (Feb 2022), and reached 5357 trophees.
  • (2022-06-10) Deck MAX'ED!!!
  • Season 38 (aug 2022): Got 5751 trophees ! (level 13)
  • Exp 46105, Cards: 15 level 14, 8 level 13, 7 level 12, 2 level 11.
  • Season 39 (Sep 2022): Got 5843 trophees ! (level 13)

Ladder deck (2021-12-14, played in arena 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9)
  • Best deck for arena 5, but needs the prince (12 wins, 4 lose from 1380 trophees to 1613 trophees).
  • Reached arena 6 with king level 6 or 7, and cards overall level 6 to 7.
  • Also worked ok in arena 6, up to 1865 trophees easily, then much harder to reach arena 7. Very important to manage elixir. 75% win rate on the last 17 matches.
  • Reach arena 7 with king level 7, skeletonarmy 7, prince 8, witch 8, minipekka 7, valkyrie 7, babydragon 9, zap 6, fireball 8. Most opp were level 8 with 1/2 lvl higher card average.
  • Also worked ok in arena 7 (same level as above).
  • Also ok in arena 8 and 9.
  • But had some difficulty because I upgraded king level 8, so had to upgrade some cards to match opponents.
  • Did 11 victories in a row in arena 8, the whole arena with king level 8, skeletonarmy 8, prince 9, witch 9, minipekka 8, valkyrie 8, babydragon 9, zap 6, fireball 9.
  • More tough in arena 10, switch to hogrider 2.6 cycle deck.
Synergies
  • Push with valkyrie + prince, like add prince when valkyrie at the bridge.
  • Or push with valkyrie + minipekka, or babydragon instead of valkyrie (better put baby a bit behind).
  • If prince alone, prepare zap. Usually this doesn't work as well as with valkyrie. What may help is double lane push, add minipekka at bridge on second lane.
Start
  • valkyrie or witch behind the K tower. Beware if opp cycles his FB, then put in front of K tower.
  • Usually not good to start with prince or minipekka.
  • Better wait for opp first move. Typically if barrel on tower, best is skeletonarmy or valkyrie in the bottom corner (this kills two goblins instant). Otherwise zap is good also, for 1 elixir less).
  • First play: witch in the back always good, because she spawns skeletons.
  • valkyrie also ok.
  • Think however how to defend hogrider, goblinbarrel, breakers... (keep a good hand).
General
  • minipekka to remove mini tank, or to insta kill support troop (like wizard), before defending with skeletonarmy.
  • Count the elixir difference. DO NOT BE TOO LOW.
  • Against infernotower: witch seems to work best.
  • If cannot push, use something different. Wait for skeletonarmy or swarm unit out of cycle, and spam prince or minipekka. If area killer out of cycle, spam skeletonarmy at bridge. This can also be used to bait a response.
  • Against princess, usually good to fireball her asap, but *on the tower* to get value. Otherwise get rid of her at the bridge, and/or tank the damage with valkyrie or prince.

Ladder deck (2021-12-16, played in arena 6)
  • Played in arena 6, deck from Orange Juice Gaming.
  • Honestly, it sucks. Super though to play, have to count elixir very tightly to make a successful push.
  • Replacing giant with hogrider doesn't work much better...

Ladder deck (2021-12-14, played in arena 5)
  • Some other decks I trided in arena 5, but not as good as deck above.
  • First deck is the one I used with Clashical. Was quite ok, but it seems to be less effective than other decks used in lower arenas.
  • 2nd deck is best arena 4 deck from Orange Juice Gaming (see starter deck tips).
  • 3rd deck is some counter deck I met in the ladder.

Ladder deck (2021-12-10, played in arena 3 and 4)
  • A deck that somebody beaten me hard with.
  • Played in arena 3 and arena 4 (until arena 5), seems to work quite good (5 victories in a row, 6 cards lvl 7, 6 lvl 2).
  • Think synergy: put valkyrie along with prince, so that valkyrie get rid of swarm.
  • Defend the musketeer, eg if opp plays baby, play musketeer, then Baby on his baby to distract.
  • Punish with minipekka if opp over commits (I guess in particular in x1).
  • Against goblinbarrel, better defend with valkyrie or army (keep arrows to counter opp defense).
  • Always send a ground troop with support against aerial.
  • Time defense correctly. Eg. If opp plays prince and Baby, wait for Baby to connect to tower, before playing skeletonarmy out of baby attack zone but still to aggro the prince.

Ladder deck (2021-12-10, played from arena 3)
  • Changed minions against babydragon, for a bit more swarm counter.
  • Played from arena 3.
  • fireball not so strong in lower arena (arena 3 or 4). It usually costs too much, area is too small, and cannot get rid of bigger troops anyway.

Ladder deck (2021-12-10, played in arena 1 and 2)
  • Deck used early, when got the prince.
  • Maybe a bit missing swarm counter. Also spear goblins and minions are both vulnerable to arrows.
  • Played until arena 3.

Some decks that was hard match up (potentially good decks):

Ladder deck (2021-12-10, faced in arena 4)
  • Lost against this in arena 4, but maybe lacking some aerial defense... And FB might not be best choice.

  • 2021-12-15: 4/4 (lvl 7).
  • Played from 2021-12-12 (level 6, arena 4).
  • Only 3 decks.
  • 1st deck is main deck.
  • 2nd deck is good deck with remaining cards.
  • 3rd deck was improved on second iteration, when getting more cards.
  • Won twice the duel with these two decks (while in arena 3 and 4, king level 6).

Ladder deck (2023-03-01, played in arena 12 and 13)
  • Meta mortar deck. Using poison + miner combo because miner is very strong in the meta, and alternative tornado+rocket doesn't look that good.
  • Reached arena 13 (season 44): king 21 (=minimum for arena 12), tower 8, mortar 10, miner 10, knight 9, goblins 9, archers 9, icespirit 8, poison 11, thelog 10.
  • Reached arena 14 (season 44): king 24 (=minimum for arena 13), tower 9, mortar 11, miner 11, knight 10, goblins 9, archers 10, icespirit 9, poison 12, thelog 11.
  • Reached arena 15 (season 45): king 28 (=minimum+1 for arena 14), tower 10, mortar 14, miner 12, knight 11, goblins 10, archers 12, icespirit 10, poison 13, thelog 11.
  • Reached arena 16 (season 45): king 30 (=minimum for arena 15), tower 11, mortar 14, miner 12, knight 12, goblins 11, archers 12, icespirit 11, poison 14, thelog 12.

Ladder deck (2023-02-20, played in arena 9, 10 and 11)
  • Reached arena 10 and 11 (season 44): king 18, tower 8, mortar 9, knight 8, archers 9, goblins 8, electrospirit 8, cannon 8, fireball 9, barbarianbarrel 8.
  • Could have done arena 10 with king 17 (tower 7) I guess, but I up the archers by mistake...
  • Reached arena 12 (season 44): king 18, tower 8, mortar 9, knight 9, archers 9, goblins 9, electrospirit 8, cannon 8, fireball 9, barbarianbarrel 9.
  • ... but TOO LOW to actually enter arena 12 (king 21 required).
  • barbarianbarrel mandatory to counter any goblinbarrels, otherwise they make too much value. goblins can help too if played early enough on princess tower.

Ladder deck (2023-02-14, played in arena 7, 8 and 9)
  • Reached arena 8 (season 44): king 14, tower 7, mortar 8, knight 7, archers 7, skeletons 8, electrospirit 7, cannon 7, fireball 8, zap 7.
  • Faced lot of tower 8.
  • Quite easy to play, but must focus defense against pekka, witch, and hard against goblinbarrel.
  • Reached arena 9 (season 44): king 15, tower 7, mortar 8, knight 7, archers 8, skeletons 8, electrospirit 7, cannon 7, fireball 9, zap 7.
  • Quite easy, no many losses. In particular could frequently one-shot wizard, musketeer. People don't defend the mortar very well.
  • Could do easily half of the arena 9 but hard to progress further because of goblinbarrel.

Ladder deck (2023-02-06, played in arena 6)
  • Using logbait as basis.
  • Not playable in arena 6 because too many swarm.

Ladder deck (2023-02-02 to 2023-02-14, played in arena 4, 5, 6 and 7)
  • A good deck that allowed me to go through arena 4, which was difficult with previous decks.
  • Push: giant, then goblinhut in the back.
  • Keep minipekka for OPP tank. Be super defensive. Play skeletondragons on ground troop.
  • Reached arena 5 (season 43): king 5, tower 4, giant 5, valkyrie 5, musketeer 5, minipekka 5, skeletondragons 5, goblinhut 5, fireball 5, arrows 5
  • Reached arena 6 (season 43): king 7, tower 5, giant 6, valkyrie 6, musketeer 6, minipekka 6, skeletondragons 5, goblinhut 6, fireball 6, arrows 6
  • Faced many tower 6, 7 and even 8 (king 18!)!
  • Reached arena 7 (season 44): king 12, tower 6, giant 6, valkyrie 7, musketeer 7, minipekka 7, skeletondragons 6, goblinhut 7, fireball 7, arrows 7
  • Faced many tower 8 and 9 (bots) and even one 10, 7 and even 8 (king 18!)!
  • Counter decks are usually based on dual wincon goblinbarrel + hogrider (e.g. minipekka, witch, megaminion, musketeer, guards)

Lavahound decks

Notes:

  • Variants with guards are better against hogrider, pekka...
  • Variants with valkyrie are better against witch, skeletonking...
  • Variants with minions instead of skeletondragons (more DPS, but weaker against arrows).
  • fireball works well in combination with tombstone. Otherwise use arrows [61].

  • Deck from CAL Miro (love) DOoOM
  • Probably not working in midladder because lot of splash cards.
  • Play skeletondragons and flyingmachine in synergy to bait fireball.
  • Charge skeletonking with tombstone, and possibly puppies. Use ability only if charged up (always aim for positive elixir trade and/or tower damage).

  • mightyminer also very handful to enable faster cycle.
  • Alternative: arrows instead of zap, or even stronger poison instead of zap.

Ladder - Carl - Best F2P Lavahound deck - 20221211
  • This is the deck Carl's using to push his level-12 account.
  • Some player commented that fireball + arrows is better here (against electrodragon, elixirgolem, lumberjack + balloon, and random decks). zap better when playing with skeletondragons.
  • In this comment, Carl also explained that one must use either minions + infernodragon or megaminion + skeletondragons, saying it is about the combo (and DPS).

Fun deck for classic or special challenge
  • See The Most TOXIC Lava Hound Deck in Clash Royale.
  • Don't max this deck for ladder, it is not working. However it is a good deck to have fun in challenge, or in 2x or 3x elixir challenge.
  • Wait 2x before really doing speedy balloon (skeletonbarrel at 2+2, then balloon at 0+2).

Ladder (around 2021-09-04, arena 14)
  • Tip 1: Get on Offense Fast. You wanna play offense because there is no much defense in the deck, no high damage spell, no building, but 3 winning conditions, so you wanna play offense the entire game. If you spend your time being more passive, cycling your cards, you have less time to deal damage. Usually play Lava is the right move, except if your opponent play very aggressive too first, then you may want to play Inferno first, or if they play hogrider, you play guards, minions (or if you don't have those, infernodragon).
  • Tip 2: Use lavahound as a defensive Shield. Beat down deck they try to overwhelm you, and overwhelm your infernodragon, and kill your infernodragon before it kills their tank. So you need lavahound to block their support units, then Lava Pups can help killing their units. Same or opposite lane? Usually same lane, eg. when opp plays golem, to have infernodragon kill the golem, and Lava shield damage from witches, etc. Other deck, like 2.6 they always go opposite lane. Against xbow, best is to go for tower trade, because it's easier to kill the xbow by dropping a unit on it.
  • Tip 3: Track air counter cycle. In particular to when and how to play balloon.
  • Tip 4: miner is a tool first, win-con second. Use miner as a precision strike. Use spell to kill swarmy unit. And second use it to serve as tank, so that lava pups, minions or balloons get good value.
  • Tip 5: Identify matchup as soon as possible. Eg. because you don't want to play infernodragon high to kill a giant, then they pull out a electrowizard.
  • Things I learned:
  • guards may do a lot of damage if they reach the tower, even more if tanked by lavahound.
  • Mostly use miner on P tower, almost never in defense or as a snip (could happen on say magicarcher or defend graveyard).
  • Against golem: if all air troops are out-of-cycle, play lavahound in the back to force opp to play ground unit, then play infernodragon to kill them.
  • Against graveyard: play lavahound a bit higher so that it can tank for the infernodragon, which in turn is responsible to kill all mini-tank of the opp that he needs to get value from graveyard.
  • Against hunter: balloon can always score a hit if we zap the hunter.
  • Against hogs: Keep guards in hand to defend!
  • Against xbow (+tesla): Play lavahound 7+5, then balloon behind at the bridge. Then on tesla, zap and miner.
  • In general, keep ground unit for defense.
  • Played a few times in Classic Challenges.
  • Played the arrows/zap version in Wars, and currently 60 victories in a row.

  • Deck 5:
  • See Juicy J and Juicy J.
  • bombtower + icespirit (timed correctly) can negate a hogrider + earthquake push (4 for 7 trade)..
  • hogrider + goblins at bridge, anti-tornado push [63].

Ladder deck - Some opponent - 2021-09-01
  • Attack cycle: ideal to start like this: icespirit at bridge, then same time goblinbarrel on tower. This makes -1000. Then firecracker behind tower to defend, and goblingang in bridge corner if needed. Then recycle.
  • rocket again elitebarbarians. infernotower against big boss. Earth quake to chip damage at tower.

Cr-firecracker.png Cr-goblinbarrel.png Cr-earthquake.png Cr-icespirit.png Cr-goblingang.png Cr-infernotower.png Cr-rocket.png Cr-thelog.png

Ladder deck - From Skully (Bring the W) - 2021-09-01
  • Start with goblinbarrel.
  • Against balloon or elitebarbarians, rocket.
  • Against minionhorde, goblingang and/or icespirit. princess also very good.
  • valkyrie very good to distract, eg. against megaknight.
  • thelog to chip damage at tower.
  • tesla in middle to attract megaknight. Placement 3-3.

Cr-goblinbarrel.png Cr-goblingang.png Cr-icespirit.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-princess.png Cr-tesla.png Cr-rocket.png Cr-thelog.png

Ladder deck - Some opponent - 2021-09-01
  • Typical play: wizard in the back, then add minipekka in front at the bridge. Or when defending with skeletonarmy, add hogrider Ridger in the middle for protection.

War 2 deck - Unbreakable best MK deck (video 2021-01-13)
  • SirTag (found on royaleapi.com)
  • Defense summary:
  • megaknight to bounce everything back (opp cannot build a big push).
  • electrowizard to stun all opp. units.
  • giantsnowball to push them back.
  • Cage to attract all winning conditions go into the center of the map.
  • Offense summar:
  • bandit, Hogs to make break trough, and healspirit to keep them alive longer.
  • If can't break through, Marcher to finish off tower.

Opening:

  • Hogs at river on one tower to see.
  • healspirit on top of the bats, to heal hogs.
  • electrowizard splash damage on small units (spear goblins).

Build pushes:

  • megaknight in the back, to build big pushes against structures like tesla / mortar.
  • On mortar, healspirit on the other lane to distract mortar.
  • Use Marcher to lock on mortar and tower behind.
  • Predict goblingang, so prepare giantsnowball
  • Hogs behind megaknight.

Tactics:

  • Play megaknight as tank to keep Marcher alive.
  • Against icegolem in the back, send hogs in the other lane, wait for fireball, and play Marcher at bridge to lock on the golem and tower to get value.
  • Against valkyrie with 50% life at tower, Marcher to lock on her and tower to score 4 hits at tower.
  • Keep megaknight alive with the healspirit, this allows to have multiple megaknight on map, with more jump possibilities.
  • Defaut cage placement is 4-2.
  • If too much defense on one side, hogs on the other side.
  • If megaknight tank from both tower, we can hogs on any tower.
  • Play bandit in the back always good (can leapfrog across river).

Counters:

  • Against infernotower, requires hogs + bandit.
  • Against hogrider at bridge:
  • cage at 2+2 placement. W/o spell, this prevents any hit.
  • megaknight at 4+3 placement, rider only get one hit.
  • electrowizard can also stun a bit the rider.
  • Against fireball + thelog: very though, this counters perfectly hogs + healspirit. Don't play spirit when log is in cycle. Split the hogs at river to reduce fireball value.

Mini-challenge decks

Sudden death

Schtroumpf, sudden death challenge
  • balloon, lumberjack, elitebarbarians, freeze, darkprince, goblincage, skeletonking, icewizard.
Sudden death (2021-10-01)
  • Shared by Natan (Bring the W). Goal: play lumberjack at bridge, then balloon. Hopefully opponent will play a big troop killing lumberjack, balloon will then rush to tower, and we use freeze on tower + any defensive air troop.
  • Played a bit Clan Wards sudden challenge.

Cr-lumberjack.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-tesla.png Cr-freeze.png Cr-thelog.png

Sudden death (2021-12-03)
  • Recommended by Boss_CR
  • Cycle cards (in the back): often royalghost, or goldenknight.
  • Try to use GK dash ability to connect to tower.
  • Think counter to balloon, and think freeze.
Eg if lumberjack+balloon, ramrider 7-0, but electrowizard or infernodragon at 1+5!
  • barbarianbarrel to distract, or against building, or against goblinbarrel.
  • Try to get value from fireball.
History
  • 2021-12-04 4 wins (3 losses) in sudden death challenge.

Double elixir

Double-elixir (2022-06-02)
  • Deck from Ouah Leouff
  • Constantly harrass the opponent, typ. with double barrels.
  • Use infernotower for big tank, but can also defend with princess, dartgoblin if far enough, and tank with valkyrie and firespirit.

Triple elixir

Triple-elixir (2021-11-17)
  • Another deck that beated me.
  • Idea it seems is to have always sparky behind a tower, and push back any attacks with megaknight, while chiping damage with rocket...

Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-firecracker.png Cr-wizard.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-tesla.png Cr-rocket.png Cr-megaknight.png Cr-sparky.png

Triple-elixir (2021-11-17)
  • Some deck that beated me even harder
  • Start with elixirgolem, electrodragon, then add healer and exec. On attack, use tornado. See variant below for more.
  • Not tried yet. Maybe lumberjack adds good value, but infernodragon doesn't have synergy with tornado.

Cr-elixirgolem.png Cr-battlehealer.png Cr-electrodragon.png Cr-infernodragon.png Cr-executioner.png Cr-lumberjack.png Cr-arrows.png Cr-tornado.png

Triple-elixir (2022-03-06)
  • Variant from above, because don't have lumberjack. Also using babydragon for better synergy with tornado.
  • See below for gameplay.
  • Played 2022-03-06: Did 6-1.
  • Played 2022-03-06: Did 6-5. Lost against lavaclone deck, variant deck below with fireball, deck with rocket and elitebarbarians.

Triple-elixir (2020-05-24)
  • Deck from Orange Juice Gaming (May 2020)
  • Also good for double elixir.
  • Start with battlehealer in the back. Then electrodragon in the corner and nightwitch when battlehealer reaches P tower. Add an elixirgolemn at the bridge, and a babydragon, and stack a second battlehealer behind. Then rage the whole when on tower. Can also use tornado to increase babydragon value.
  • The deck above seems a bit better. Not sure what is the use of healspirit except maybe cycling.
  • Played 2022-03-06: Did 6-6.

Triple-Draft Mini-challenge (2021-08-21)
  • Rationale: pick mainly legendary to have at least lvl 9 cards, and have two cards against aerial attacks.
  • princess: very handy to attack towers from a long distance (tower can't reach her). MUST BE DEFENDED because dies quickly, so play her very far. Also very good against skeletonarmy.
  • Usually start with a sparky at the bottom of the map, and protect it with a megaknight before it reaches the bridge. Use tornado to group/attract ennemy troop, and one-shoot them.
  • Play Electro-Dragon by spotting the correct troop. Very useful to slow down an ennemy, making sure it is shot by towers, or to reset a ennemy infernotower.

Mega-touchdown - deck 1 (2021-09-17)
  • Pick fast troop, like prince, darkprince.
  • Spam unit also interesting: skeletonarmy, minionhorde.
  • motherwitch insta-win.
  • barbarianbarrel very interesting, esp. if can be played high.
  • witch good to spam as well.
  • skeletonbarrel because fast, and not distracted. Drop Skeleton.
  • Play on both sides.
  • Tanks like electrogiant very good to kill small troop and must be stopped.

Skeleton King tournament (2021-10-30)
  • Deck from CLASHwithSHANE [64]
  • Strategy: build push with giant and/or skeletonking front, and sparky behind, then rage the whole thing on tower.
  • Usually, we can build a push with skeletonking + goblingiant.
  • rage can also be used to defend.
  • minipekka against hogrider.
  • defense:
  • electrowizard centre front k, to defend but be out of attack, or drop on small units. But centre usually very effective to slow down units.
  • minions against tank.
  • minipekka or minions against hogrider.
  • giant middle to pull pekka the other side.
  • build push:
  • sparky behind k tower. at bridge add giant, then rage.
  • or complete with champ and/or minions.
  • champion ability: when no spam killer. Can also be used to tank for the sparky behind.

Archer Queen tournament (2021-11-03)
  • Deck played by Shane, but also reported as best deck in top 100 (https://royaleapi.com/card/archer-queen, played by SK Morten, 8540 trophee )
  • lightning because this kills the archerqueen (and we know we'll face her).
  • Push build: royalghost in the back, or archerqueen in the back (but beware of lightning, if so play rather middle).
  • Against hogrider:
  • bandit at 5-3, then immediately after electrospirit in front of tower, and barbarianbarrel on tower. This means, one hogrider shot, and barbarianbarrel is in front, tanking for bandit for a small push.
  • Otherwise megaknight.
  • Against barbarianbarrel: royalghost.
  • Use of electrospirit: to force retarget on another troop, to avoid tower damage.
  • If opp plays too much card next to tower (or eg building), lightning.
  • AG Bait: Sometimes shane play royalghost or ramrider at bridge when building is there, is that to force opp to play another card, then lightning it
  • Against megaknight:
  • Play megaknight on outside then bandit centre.
  • Or archerqueen (invisible).
  • Can also play ramrider to distract and tank a bit (and slow down).
  • Also barbarianbarrel more distraction.
  • Play barbarianbarrel: as mini Log, but also as mini-tank (eg for bandit).
  • Against golem:
  • bandit + megaknight + royalghost.
  • Push opposite lane ramrider + bandit (slightly behind).
  • Usually finish in three-crown race (golem makes slow damage).
  • When small push, ramrider map border at bridge.
  • Against archerqueen:
  • bandit in the back, and megaknight on the queen.
  • Against goblinbarrel:
  • electrospirit on outer corner, and bandit other side inside corner.

Golden Knight tournament (2021-11-10)
  • ClashWithSHANE: Play defensively, build value throughout the battle, then punish opponent during double elixir.
  • Start: zappies in the back, or cage middle.
  • Powerful deck. Try to match elixir expense on opponent (ie. keep recruits for megaknight or pekka...). When countering a push with elixir gain, maybe add a unit to build a bigger counter push.
  • GK: not used often his ability. Maybe handy to connect tower rapidly, or against many low health units (eg. goblins). Not clear how to use it so far...

Rage challenge (2021-12-18)
  • Win by playing tombstone behind the P tower, and lava in same lane. Opp tower will lock on lava, and be swarmed by skeletons.
  • If cycling fast enough, can play two or even three tombstones. Try to put them in corner to limit fireball value.
  • Use skullies and megaminion to attack troop that are swarmed by skeletons (especially splashy ones like valkyrie). skeletons are very distractive, so even getting rid of distracted air unit will be easy.
  • balloon less useful (because units go to fast to put lavahound+balloon), but could be send along with skullies, or with skeleton swarm.

Mega-deck challenge (2021-12-27)
  • Deck from OJ (dec 2021)
  • Started badly (1-3), then won 7-1 in retry.
  • Note we are x2. Start push as usual (valkyrie, electrogiant...). Try to anticipate use of each card in deck (eg. motherwitch, wait for swarm to be there).
  • This deck sucks badly.

Mega-deck challenge (2021-12-27)
  • Deck from random bloke that just exploded me like many others.
  • Make sure to play toxically. lumberjack+balloon at bridge in the first sec, megaknight and freeze as usual...

Infinite elixir (2020-05-24)
  • Deck from Orange Juice Gaming (May 2020)
  • Goal is to stack the battlehealer with mirror (up to 5) so that they survive giantskeleton explosion.
  • Stacking firecracker also good if opp has no counter. Make sure to get rid of opp's firecracker with arrows though.
  • Not tried yet.

Rage ramrider (2022-01-06)
  • Deck Isma proposed to me.
  • Goal: build a push with 1st rider behind K tower, then mirrored at bridge asap (at 10 elixir, only need 1 elix more).
  • If undefended, or even defended too lightly (because raged riders would tear through light defenses), this will 3-crown very fast.
  • Wait for a push, and defend it with electrowizard / megaknight / giantsnowball as main counters against rider, and use other card to cycle. Then usually our megaknight survive, and ideal scenario is when opp overcommits (like 5 elix or more) against megaknight (usually do because megaknight is threatening to jump). Then go for the mirrored push in the other lane.
  • Use earthquake against building.
  • In 2x, push can be built when at 9 elix, or even less. If one tower down, usually start the push at the top. Change when needed, eg. use megaknight as tank to build the push.

Ram rider 2v2 Rush (2022-02-03)
  • Synergy: freeze + bombtower, or freeze in offense.
  • If not bowler / electrodragon, use valkyrie + zappies.
  • Cheaper is bomber.
  • Probably not the best deck...

Season 31 special challenges (January 2021)

Arena challenge (2022-01-11)

  • Decks from Ouah Leouff (YT, twitch), and Carl The Legend(twitch)
  • Build push with giant. Cage to cancel the giant. minipekka to cancel the musketeer.
  • Played Carl's. Did 3-0 and 3-0.

Arena 1 (Ouah): Cr-giant.png Cr-minipekka.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-goblins.png Cr-minions.png Cr-goblincage.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-arrows.png
Arena 1 (Carl): Cr-giant.png Cr-minipekka.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-speargoblins.png Cr-minions.png Cr-goblincage.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-arrows.png

Arena 2 (Ouah): Cr-giant.png Cr-babydragon.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-minipekka.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-arrows.png
Arena 2 (Carl): Cr-giant.png Cr-minipekka.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-babydragon.png Cr-bomber.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-arrows.png

  • (Ouaf) Same base (giant, minipekka, spells). tombstone a bit better than cage. Baby to counter small swarm troop. Skel to cycle. Baby + giant, will force opp to delay skeletonarmy!
  • (Carl) A bit tough when opp plays tombstone (but may I should keep arrow for that, and delay giant). Did 3-0 and 3-2.

Arena 3 (Ouah): Cr-giant.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-minipekka.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-arrows.png
Arena 3 (Carl): Cr-giant.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-minipekka.png Cr-babydragon.png Cr-bomber.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-goblinbarrel.png Cr-arrows.png

  • (Ouah) Did 3-1. Make sure to use cage to defend first. Then counter-push.
  • (Carl) or use goblincage iso babydragon. A bit difficult to play, did 3-2.

Arena 4 (Ouah): Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-miner.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-firespirit.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-infernotower.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-barbarianbarrel.png
Arena 4 (Carl): Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-miner.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-firespirit.png Cr-wizard.png Cr-infernotower.png Cr-goblinbarrel.png Cr-arrows.png

  • (Ouah) or alternative (youtube): skeletonarmy + minions + goblinbarrel iso valkyrie + megaminion + skeletons.
  • (Carl) Bait with barrel and miner, one at a time, unless opp is low. Use tower against pekka. Defend with deep wizard, and valkyrie on multi troops. Counter push with miner/barrel. Cycle with fire spirit at bridge. Aim elixir trade (skeletons on miner or skeletonarmy...). Did 3-0 and 3-2!

Arena 5 (Ouah): Cr-goblinbarrel.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-princess.png Cr-skeletonarmy.png Cr-firespirit.png Cr-infernotower.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-barbarianbarrel.png
Arena 5 (twitch): Cr-wallbreakers.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-miner.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-barbarianbarrel.png
Arena 5 (Carl): Cr-wallbreakers.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-miner.png Cr-skeletonarmy.png Cr-princess.png Cr-cannon.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-arrows.png

  • (ouah) log bait (but with modification: fb iso rocket, firespirit iso icespirit, barrel iso thelog, skeletonarmy iso gang).
But likely difficult to play.
  • (ouah twitch) breakers + miner. Did 3-0 and 3-1.
  • (carl) replaced skeletons with cannon (to counter hogrider). First deck was goblinbarrel-wizard-valkyrie-miner-skeletons-infernotower-arrows-zap (but lost)

Arena 6 (Ouah): Cr-balloon.png Cr-miner.png Cr-knight.png Cr-skeletonarmy.png Cr-bats.png Cr-infernotower.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-barbarianbarrel.png
Arena 6 (twitch): Cr-xbow.png Cr-infernotower.png Cr-knight.png Cr-archers.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-firespirit.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-thelog.png
Arena 6 (Carl): Cr-wallbreakers.png Cr-miner.png Cr-valkyrie.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-cannon.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-thelog.png

  • (ouah) Deck balloon cycle. Maybe zap iso barbarianbarrel to counter bats, but barbarianbarrel may counter goblinbarrel..
  • (twitch) Or use cannon iso infernotower, but seems harder against balloon and musketeer. Put xbow at 1-sq from river, usually more on the side than in front.
Lost 0-2. Got countered by infernotower on xbow, or rocketed, or ...
  • (carl) played arrows iso thelog and princess iso musketeer, but lost. Play miner and breakers as win condition, grind with miner, find best time with breakers. Tank miner with valkyrie, or cycle do send breakers (if necessary on other lane). Make sure to make positive trade on defense, and grind with miner or breakers, tanking as possible. Can also grind with log and fireball.
Did 3-0 (although was actually 3-2 because lost twice with the other deck), and 3-2 (although 2nd would win had I not rushed on the end ^^). Excellent deck, lot of control.

Arena 7 (Ouah): Cr-wallbreakers.png Cr-miner.png Cr-megaknight.png Cr-prince.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-bats.png Cr-arrows.png Cr-zap.png
Arena 7 (Carl): Cr-balloon.png Cr-miner.png Cr-knight.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-minions.png Cr-goblincage.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

  • (ouah) known deck (megaknight-miner-breakers). miner, then push prince, bats, breakers. prince very good to defend against mk, and also bats to kite. Combo: miner + bats.
Did 3-1 and 3-4 (probably because over-commit).
  • (carl) Tank balloon with miner... looks difficult to play.

Arena 8 (Ouah): Cr-giant.png Cr-miner.png Cr-witch.png Cr-prince.png Cr-darkprince.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

Arena 8 (Carl2): Cr-wizard.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-knight.png Cr-miner.png Cr-minions.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-zap.png Cr-megaknight.png

  • (ouah) giant, double prince but with the witch (note: better deck is with electrowizard instead of witch, to counter hogrider). Apparently good counter against 2.6: basic strategy is to always defend with either prince behind K tower, on lane that already took damage, then giant at bridge. Then when it tanks, miner on musketeer or on the tower.
I don't know how to play this. Did 3-6.
  • (ouah twitch) Build push with icegolem+balloon, or miner+balloon, can also add bats for extra damage or protection. Against megaknight, skeletons + bats, or infernotower (use skeletons to protect the tower).
  • (carl) played against infernotower,xbow,golem,archers,skeletons,icespirit,thelog,fireball, very though. Carl lost twice with 1st deck, and three times with 2nd deck was not much better, though counters. 3rd deck seems better.
  • ... Did 3-0 with hogrider cycle 2.6 ;-)

Arena 9 (Ouah): Cr-hogrider.png Cr-musketeer.png Cr-icegolem.png Cr-icespirit.png Cr-skeletons.png Cr-cannon.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-thelog.png
Arena 9 (Carl): Cr-megaknight.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-witch.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-miner.png Cr-icegolem.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

  • (ouah + twitch) hogrider cycle 2.6.
Did 3-1 with hogrider cycle 2.6.
  • (carl) tank balloon with golem. Against infernotower, deep mk, then balloon when mk at bridge, then zap when mk jumps. witch behind mk may be good combo also.
Did 3-6 :-(

Arena 10 (Ouah): Cr-lavahound.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-skeletondragons.png Cr-megaminion.png Cr-barbarians.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

  • (ouah) lavahound+balloon with barbarbians. May bait fireball with barbarians.
Did 3-1, lost against same deck but with minions. And again 3-1, lost against a deck with furnace, bats, megaminion, zap, log, valkyrie, elitebarbarians, skeletonarmy.
  • (carl) lavahound+balloon with valkyrie, but he lost 1-3!!! so he played a variant of previous arena deck.

Arena 11 (Ouah): Cr-royalgiant.png Cr-goblinbarrel.png Cr-megaknight.png Cr-prince.png Cr-skeletonarmy.png Cr-dartgoblin.png Cr-princess.png Cr-bats.png

  • (ouah) Deck played by Azilys. Play like a log bait (playing all small troops), then surprise with megaknight. If royalgiant, keeps megaknight to defend against barbarians or alike. A bit weak against aerial though. Combo: megaknight + barrel + bats. bats can distract infernotower.
Did 3-0, and 3-1 (lost against goblinbarrel gang, log, tesla, zap... did not play the royalgiant, prob I should have). Play log bait first, like dartgoblin / princess, and add megaknight at bridge, or defend with prince. When tower spot, add goblinbarrel if value. Use the royalgiant at last moment, as a surprise when opp is low elixir.
  • (carl) 1st deck, lost twice; 2nd deck 1-1, 3rd deck 2-1...

Arena 12 (Carl): Cr-lavahound.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-infernodragon.png Cr-minions.png Cr-guards.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

  • (ouah) Lost against log-bait. Start with royalghost behind K tower, then infernodragon corner. Then possibly ramrider bridge, etc. Use spirit against swarm.
  • (ouah twitch) start with witch K tower, then giant bridge, then graveyard. Against royalrecruits, arrows then fireball is ok. fireball on witch. Push also witch, then darkknight at bridge. Against furnace, giant, and when spot, graveyard. Against wizard, with which on our side, don't add giant. Instead either let wizard kill witch and we kill on our side, or fireball the wizard + tower, and let the witch kill wizard.
Did 3-2.
  • (carl) Against another lavahound+balloon, when opp sends lava, bait other lane with balloon. Against infernodragon then witch, lavahound+balloon ok, then fireball both infernodragon+witch, and zap witch. Against infernodragon, play lava same lane as tombstone. Against prince, either guards 7+4, or tombstone, 5-2. Against megaknight, infernodragon. If electrowizard, shield drag with minions. Against infernodragon, can fireball to move it closer to river, then minions. Against ramrider, if balloon locked, shield it with guards (between balloon and ramrider) to distract.
Did 3-3.

Arena 13 (Carl): Cr-lavahound.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-infernodragon.png Cr-minions.png Cr-guards.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

  • (ouah) Deck from WoToP. Keep barrel and electrospirit for defense (esp. goblinbarrel), fireball princess, recruits in front of zappies (split them behind K tower). Against princess, split recruits, 4 on other lane. goblincage to defend, aim princess lane. Machine to shoot infernotower. Against megaknight, 4 recruits ok. Against 2.6, cage very high, ideally with zappies, so that goblin can hit the hogrider several times.
Did 3-0.
  • (carl) Against royalgiant + horde, play tombstone first, that will defend horde. Send lava + infernodragon. Against royalgiant (other lane), defend only with guards (killed by arrows). We tower trade, keep fireball against minions or horde. Then send balloon on K tower (leave two square from mid to make sure balloon goes to K tower). Then, when one tower down, tombstone 6-2. Then balloon on k tower (4-sq from mid separation), immediately minions, then zap horde.
Did 3-2.

Arena 14 (Ouah): Cr-battleram.png Cr-pekka.png Cr-electrowizard.png Cr-magicarcher.png Cr-royalghost.png Cr-bandit.png Cr-poison.png Cr-zap.png
Arena 14 (Carl): Cr-lavahound.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-infernodragon.png Cr-minions.png Cr-guards.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

  • (ouah) pekka-bridge-spam, version poison/marcher (alternative fireball/minions). usually spam battleram at bridge, along with pekka. Start, royaleghost bridge (if pekka in hand?), or bottom corner, or bottom k tower, or marcher also ok. To defend, pekka (better sideway to avoid marcher), then electrowizard in support. Continuously protect electrowizard with other troop if needed. Against hogrider, electrowizard 2+5. Against hogs + recruits, don't play pekka. Defend with electrowizard center, royale royalghost close to toewr to counter hogs, etc.
Did 3-3
  • (carl) Start, zap tower, then minions bridge. fireball naked dartgoblin. guards behind bowler. electrodragon on lava, fireball it.
Did 3-1.

Arena 15 (Carl): Cr-lavahound.png Cr-balloon.png Cr-infernodragon.png Cr-minions.png Cr-guards.png Cr-tombstone.png Cr-fireball.png Cr-zap.png

  • (ouah) Weak against log bait. tornado to activate tower (eg. balloon, bandit, hogrider), or to support graveyard. Start with bowler, then baby drag, before bowler comes (6-sq from river), graveyard, then tornado (6+3) when bowler is at 2-sq river, and finally freeze same spot.
  • (ouah twitch) Install with tombstone, then icewizard k tower. Then baby corner. poison (on tower) against firecracker. tornado to protect babydragon. Cycle with barrel at bridge. Usually push with baby + icewiz. Use valkyrie + barrel as support troop. Ideally when spot graveyard, otherwise also graveyard to distract. poison to kill princess/firecracker... Against mortar, baby + barrel. Otherwise, start push with valkyrie, then ice + baby. Against rascal, poison on tower, then graveyard when big dude is alone, and our valkyrie is spotted.
Did 3-10... great deck ^^
  • (carl) Against miner, minions, then agiaint drill, balloon. Against lavahound+balloon, tombstone at 3-2! Then infernodragon at 3+3 on lava, then fireball 2+4 when balloon on +0 column (to push it to the center, and be shot by both towers). 1st play tombstone, or minions.
Did 3-2.
Ram rider 2v2 Rush (2022-02-03)
  • Synergy: freeze + bombtower, or freeze in offense.
  • If not bowler / electrodragon, use valkyrie + zappies.
  • Cheaper is bomber.
  • Probably not the best deck...

Season 32 special challenges (February 2022)

Super Lava Hound Mini-challenge (2022-02-08)
  • executioner + tornado to defend, or for king activation.
  • skeletons useful to cycle rapidly, eg. to have two lava hounds.
  • lumberjack, time correctly, so that when the 2 medium lava pop, it's going really fast.
  • Always defend superlavahound from behind (because it spawns fireball in front of him on death).
Use cycle card to cycle rapidly to super lava, and abuse the super lava (always play asap).
Put electrodragon right behind lava, so that to reset infernodragon or infernotower, or to kill little troop.
executioner to sustain lava from the back, or to defend pushes. Against super lava, always play defense BEHIND or on the SIDE of the super lava, to avoid super death bomb.
Keep also electrospirit to reset ennemy, or against infernodragon/infernotower.

Love Conquers All challenge (2022-02-16)
  • Deck from Ouahleouff
  • Add thelog and fireball to handle the princess and the marcher.
  • TIP: Better play princess on the other lane of our push. This usually forces the OPP to deal with her, usually with more elixir than she costs.
  • Try to keep princess alive (use log, skeletons to defend).
  • Log: against goblinbarrel barrel, electrowizard, elitebarbarians (with skeletons).
  • bats: against megaknight, pekka...
  • Make sure to handle the princess and marcher asap, or they can be deadly.
  • magicarcher: Play at 7+5 (defense), or 6-3 (eg. against lumberjack+balloon, with lumberjack centered or infernodragon), deep corner (invest).
  • princess: Play at 8-3 or 7-3 (defense), behind K tower (invest), or 4+5 to defend bridge spam (but from other lane).
  • hogrider: combine with bats at bridge.
  • minipekka: against elitebarbarians, play at 4-2. Our main tank to defend.
  • Against lavahound+balloon: bats at 4+2, skeletons at 1-3.
  • Against arrows: always play princess in the other lane!
  • Against RG: minipekka + thelog.
  • VERY DIFFICULT TO PLAY.

Dragon hunt challenge (2022-02-23)
  • Deck from Ouahleouff
  • Classical hogrider cycle 2.6 deck
  • Don't overcommit on the egg. Typically place the cannon at 3 square from river so that it targets the egg but can also defend too.
  • ... did 5-6, then 2-one_million. I tried several things, including lava, etc.
  • Finally ended up with the deck from some opponent that crushed me again, with minipekka, bats, dartgoblin. Use the minipekka on the egg mainly, bats on pekka, etc.

Season 33 special challenges (March 2022)

Acceleration challenge (2022-03-10)
  • lumberjack at 6-1, then barbarianbarrel at 6+1.
  • nightwitch at 5-3, then barbarianbarrel at 4-1.
  • In 1st minute, play carefully.
  • 2nd minute, golem behind K tower, then nightwitch behind, babydragon at bridge (middle map), electrodragon at bridge, then clone everything. When many defenders, tornado for value from babydragon.
  • Variant: when golem at 2-sq from bridge, lumberjack at 9-3, nightwitch at 1+5.
  • Typical push: golem, lumberjack, nightwitch. Boost with clone. Re-boost with tornado.
  • Typical push: golem, lumberjack, electrodragon. Snipe with barbarianbarrel.
  • Do not clone if no value (splash damage).
  • Against royalhogs, lumberjack ok.

Legendary's Infinity elixir challenge (2022-03-21)
  • Best winrate deck on royaleapi.
  • Make sure to spread the firecracker on the board.
  • When giantskeleton is going to die, tornado on him to get value from death bomb.
  • When things go crazy, tornado then freeze. In general, keep that combo available, ie. only use freeze after using tornado.
  • Deck much easier than deck with elixirgolem, battlehealer, etc. Here the key card is freeze / tornado / graveyard.
  • 2nd deck, a variant from royaleapi, but with firecracker instead of electrodragon, because she's super annoying and most players cannot counter her.
  • Works quite ok.

Mighty Miner Launch Party (2022-03-30)
  • A bit hard to play.
  • Quite nice, and easier to play.
  • Build a good defense with goblincage. Use electrowizard to counter/reset the mightyminer (play it middle so that it is still in focus if mightyminer uses its ability), and also to defend goblinbarrel. barbarianbarrel is to counter goblinbarrel. cannoncart to defend against big tank, make sure to put it far. poison against wizard, musketeer, archers, princess, skeletonarmy...
  • Use mightyminer as a tank, ideally in front of cannoncart.
  • Play only graveyard with value, ie. when OPP tower is focused on e.g. mightyminer.

Season 35 - Which Witch (May 2022)

Sudden Death Challenge (2022-05-08)
  • Deck from Ouahleouff

Super Witch Challenge (2022-05-15)
  • Deck from Ouahleouff
  • Build push with superwitch in support, and electrogiant at front.
  • Use executioner as defense. royalegiant can also be used on defense.
  • Rather use tornado on offense, to bring troop on electrogiant.
  • Use rage when good push on tower.

The Floor is Healing (2022-05-25)
  • 1st deck from someone that ravages me in the first games. Works very well, almost 100% winrate on both accounts.
  • 2nd Deck from Ouahleouff (not tried)
  • Both decks very strong against elixirgolem

Sudden Death tournament (2022-05-31)
  • Deck from Carl, from his Twitch stream (not the same as the one he suggested on YT).
  • poison for graveyard, also interesting for value against wizard, electrowizard, musketeer, or any swarm.
  • Build a push with lavahound, babydragon and flyingmmachine each close to each other.
  • flyingmachine also ready to snipe OPP defense played in middle.
  • lavahound first play usually ok, or infernodragon.
  • (2022-05-31) 9 wins and 9 wins. (9-5 and 9-5).

Double-elixir (2022-06-02)
  • Deck from Ouah Leouff
  • Constantly harrass the opponent, typ. with double barrels.
  • Use infernotower for big tank, but can also defend with princess, dartgoblin if far enough, and tank with valkyrie and firespirit.
  • ... not so successful as Ouah: 3-6 with 1st account (after 3-3 with LH deck).

Season 36 - Bone Pit (June 2022)

Giant Skeleton Rage Challenge (2022-05-08)
  • Deck from Ouahleouff
  • Did 10-6 and 10-3.
  • Cycle with bats and skeletons to get a good hand.
  • Try to keep mirror to play it over giantskeleton, and clone when giant connects.
  • If opponent has hard counter, like witch or infernotower, try to make value, and out cycle the opponent. Playing the archerqueen is necessary to cycle faster, and to get rid of the witch.

Goblins and Skeletons Event (2022-06-15)
  • Deck from Ouahleouff
  • Don't rush, take our time. Install defensive tombstone.
  • Use correct combo, like tombstone then skeletonking, or put dartgoblin behind the skeletongiant in support, etc.

Skeleton Dragon's Reign of Fire (2022-06-22)
  • Deck proposed by ĞÏĢĀ §ŰŞ (clan Team Belgique).
  • Seems to work very well. Use furnace in the back mainly, to defeat the skeletondragons.
  • Using the motherwitch on dragon works quite ok. Even better with giantskeleton tanking for the pigs.

Season 41 - Silent Sanctuary (November 2022)

Monk Launch Party (2022-11-06)
  • First is best deck according to RoyaleAPI, example gameplay from Ian77.
  • Against monk, activate ability on our side to face monk on our side.
  • Second is third best deck according to RoyaleAPI, example gameplay from Boss and SirTag.
  • A bit harder to play.
  • First play is monk, phoenix.
  • Push with lumberjack 0+2, then balloon 0+4 one second later. If needed, freeze the tower and any defense troop.

Flight of the Phoenixes (2022-12-04)
  • Deck from Ouah.
  • Use firecracker against phoenix, especially swarm of phoenixes.
  • If no monk, use valkyrie or any mini tank.
  • If can't pass, cycle earthquake.

Season 42 - Clash-Mas (December 2022)

Let it Snow! (2022-12-10)
  • First deck from Ouah, but difficult to play, or to get a golem connection.
  • Second deck is classical logbait, one of the best deck from RoyaleAPI without champion, which works quite ok (7-4).
  • Third deck even better (5-0), presentation from Boss.
  • Note that Ouah presented a similar deck but with dartgoblin instead of princess.
  • goblins instead of goblingang because not so much lavahound currently, so no much need of more aircounter.
  • cannon instead of infernotower, because we have enough DPS with the mightminer, and this will allow to cycle faster.

Santa Ho Rider is coming to town! (2022-12-20)
  • First deck from Ouah.
  • Use rage to accelerate drop of gifts! Use tornado to cancel opponent hogrider, and activate king tower. Can also synergy with valkyrie and executioner.
  • A bit difficult to play though.

Season 43 - Frost Festival (January 2023)

New Year Fireworks Show (2023-01-07)
  • Deck from Ouah
  • A bit difficult to play. Make sure to cancel value from opponent firecracker, while protecting our own ones. Play with angles, and place lure troop as needed.
  • Try to keep the mirror for arrows to target spawning firecrackers, when needed.
  • Activate tower asap.
  • Make sure to use fisherman correctly. Center map is usually a good spot. Also, it allows other firecracker to target the opponent.
  • royalghost is good against firecracker thanks to its invisibility.
  • Ideally make dual lane push with the royalhogs. Time push correctly to AVOID pushing into spawning firecracker.
  • result: 10-7 on Minushcule, and 10-3 on Clashical!

Reflections in Ice (2023-01-22)
  • Deck from RoyaleAPI
  • Main push is lavahound + babydragon behind.
  • Try to focus with that push, defending with the rest.
  • Push can be amplified with lumberjack.
  • Very powerful deck in this mode. Don't hesitate to take damage to build a stronger counter-push. 3-crown often and easy.

Season 44 - Love & Magic (February 2023)

Super Magic Archer Challenge (2023-02-19)
  • Best deck from RoyaleAPI, also played by Orange Juice Deck from Ouah
  • Main strategy is to play royalghost at the bridge to bait an opponent card, and then play supermagicarcher to aim opponent tower, so that to have king tower to kill the princess tower.
  • Alternatively, against range troop, aiming that troop only will have that troop to aim the opponent tower immediately. For melee troop, tower conversion looks better though.
  • So early king tower activation is always good to achieve this result faster (e.g. with poison).
  • Big advantage of the royalghost is that it cannot be aimed by the supermagicarcher, and that it will necessarily target the princess tower, unless a troop is played, which can then be converted by our supermagicarcher.
  • Use cycle cards to defend, get max value out of them. Make sure to have supermagicarcher in the hand when playing the royalghost.
  • supermagicarcher is also very good to defend. Eg. against elitebarbarians', try to aim only one of them, they'll kill each other.
  • Put spirit in between when they are converted, to tank the magicarcher who can convert them again.
  • ALWAYS keep poison for supermagicarcher. Kill him as soon as possible. If needed, use thelog so that he doesn't touch our tower.
  • 10-1 on Clashical, 10-4 on Minushcule (but 8-0), and 10-0 on Myshterious!!!

Super Magic Archer Challenge (2023-02-19)
  • Another deck, suggested by Ouah, also on RoyaleAPI
  • Carefull with bombtower, play it 1-2 or 1-3 (so that it cannot hit our towers), or 5-2 so that supermagicarcher cannot convert it.
  • Try to cycle rapidly, and make lot of value with miner and wallbreaker. Make sure the wallbreaker connects (e.g tank with skeletons or so).
  • Keep lightning for supermagicarcher, play it asap (unless some other value can be taken).
  • More difficult to play.

Mirror, Mirror (2023-02-23)
  • See tips in dedicated section.
  • Minush: 10-3.


Capture the Sparky Challenge (2023-02-19)
  • Best deck according to royaleapi.

Season 45 - Goblin Party (March 2023)

Season for the 7th anniversary.

Goblin Outbreak! (2023-03-12)
  • Decks from Ouah, taken from royaleapi he said.
  • 1st deck:
  • miner and poison quite good.
  • Think defense, and grind damage with poison and miner.
  • Can force 4 elixir response (building) with wallbreakers, or even connect if OPP has no response (or eg. miner is connected).
  • 2nd deck:
  • Can start with goblingang behind the tower.
  • Avoid giving value by playing swarm troops on range / area attacking troop.
  • Think about maximizing troop value!
  • If no response, goblingiant can counter several aerian troop (skeletondragons).
  • Double prince combo is usually deadly. Think also about combo with zap.
  • 3rd deck:
  • Keep the thelog for opp barrel, unless loads of value. Then keep goblins for barrel.
  • Try to grind damage with dartgoblin. Against tank, pair with the cage and goblin out of reach from a log.
  • 4th deck:
  • Combo goblindrill + speargoblins at bridge works nice for additional damage.

Goblin Party Hut (2023-03-19)
  • Decks from Ouah, inspired from x-bow deck. (winrate: 8/2)
  • Played as a xbow deck, except that partyhut must be right in front of the OPP tower. Play tesla to defend.
  • Against OPP partyhut, fireball, then thelog to kill all goblins.
  • Deck from RoyaleApi (winrate: 8/2 and 8/0)
  • monk excellent against the partyhut or against tank.
  • Use earthquake and thelog.
  • Can mirror the hut.

Heist Draft (2023-03-24)
  • See tips from Orange Juice.
  • Did 8-5, 8-0 and 8-2.


Season 46 - Boot Camp (April 2023)

Season with season pass 2.0, mega draft ladder.

Super Archers Challenge (2023-04-10)
  • Did 7-3, 9-3, then 12-2. Then 7-3 → 12-3 (paid 100 gems), and 9-3 → 12-5 (paid 100 gems).
  • 5th best deck according to royaleapi, but at least the video was very clear on how to play the deck.
  • Other decks are best according to rapi (78% win!), and a deck frequently recommended but I find hard to play.
  • Typical play:
  • Start with split archers in the back (usually opponent plays the same). Then play goblindrill on one of the tower. Goal is that our archers will tank for the goblins when the drill pops.
  • Use the spirits to distract the opponent superarchers when they come in our arena. In particular when there is a duel between archers, to protect our archers.
  • If opponent has poison, better split the archers.
  • Don't drop anything in front of archers in a archers vs archers duel. Because that troop will expose the archers behind to the pierce-through damage of the OPP archers.
  • monkis bad in the challenge because doesn't reflect the damage, and allows the archers to shoot sooner and hit the troops behind.
  • Use fireball to push back opp troop when goblins spawn when drill dies.
  • In particular, quite valuable to play fireball on both superarchers if opponent uses them to defend (will bring both archers close to death, in particular if we have an archer shooting at tower already).
  • If OPP has big DPS troop in hand (like pekka, minipekka, elitebarbarians), make sure it cannot play them in our BACK, or the superarchers will push them towards our towers! If so, make sure to have some troop in the back to defend.
  • Against goldenknight, play skeletons behind him so that he only dashes on ONE skeleton. Also works with skeletons at 0-3 or spirit at 0+4.
  • Make SURE there is NO dash chain to your tower. If needed, let our archers go to the bridge. Usually archer will survive the dash and win the duel.
  • Against xbow:
  • skeletons or spirits to tank, then barbarianbarrel on the xbow. superarchers (tanked with skeletons) also very good against xbow.
  • Against goblindrill:
  • Play skeletons' / spirits AFTER the goblindrill appears, or they'll die to spawn damage. Use barbarianbarrel or superarchers to finish it.
  • Think also tower ACTIVATION against goblindrill, miner. This requires playing the superarchers so that to push towards king tower.

Super Cards Draft (2023-04-13)
  • Like triple draft, but we have choice between: superarchers, supermagicarcher, superminipekka, santahogrider, supericegolem, superlavahound.
  • Super cards are classed above in other of priority, pick first one available.
  • Always pick a spell to counter other super card, either lightning (best against supermagicarcher), or poison (best against superarchers).
  • Also pick some swarm to counter the superminipekka, since no spell really counter it (except maybe rocket).
  • Best strategy is to pick the cheapest card, to cycle around the super card. However make some safe choices to counter the opponent super card.
  • freeze combines well with superminipekka.
  • Good spells: poison + giantsnowball, thelog, lightning.
  • Good WC: goblindrill (not pushed back), royalhogs (many, not all dead at once by superminipekka), do NOT choose big WC that are one-shot by superminipekka.
Super Archers vs Golem (2023-04-22)
  • Best deck from Ouah, but with arrows instead of the icespirit (ie. best deck on rapi). Did 12-2, 12-1, and 12-2.
  • Start with superarchers split behind king, then poison the OPP superarchers WITHOUT the golem. Because the other superarcher behind the golem will be killed by ours first (she will always shoot first thanks to golem).
  • Make sure to always have superarchers behind the king to stop the golem. If opponenent uses poison early, or use superarcher + mirror, make sure to mirror our superarcher as well. It usually a better move to start with superarcher + mirror, then poison on OPP superarcher.
  • Can use skeleton on golemn for fast DPS.
  • Can use electrospirit to finish level 12 superarcher that didn't die to poison, but this can be tricky.
  • Must not allow OPP golem to connect to tower in the beginning, or at least go for tower trade.
  • If we don't have poison in hand in the beginning, but mirror, play superarchers + mirror.
  • firecracker is OP if she can live a long time. Nice combo with one superarcher, so less value for poison.

Capture the Queen (2023-04-30)
  • Very difficult and annoying challenge. Mostly it is up to the first one to get the queen that wins.
  • So make sure to drop a first card asap when the game starts, and distracts as much as necessary. However if you miss the queen and over spent, you are dead.
  • First deck is some more control deck, second deck is supposedly best deck that came afterwards, and third deck is some second best that come even more later.
  • Tried them all, did 12-6, 12-6 and 12-8. Spend 3*200 gems on the f*cking thing.

Season 47 - Books of Clash (May 2023)

Season with season pass 2.0, mega draft ladder.

Super Champion Battle Challenge (2023-05-07)
  • Best deck on royaleapi. Also played by Ouah
  • Other deck I tried was variant of 2.6 (also covered by SirTag), but deck above is much stronger.
  • Start with terry push in bypass position. Use ability to kill small troops (ideally wait a bit before triggering to wait for those troops). Ability can be triggered from a distance to still get to the building. Also can time the ability to dodge a hit from pekka or minipekka.
  • Against a building, can also zap the building and ability, this will leave enough health to let terry to hit several times the tower.
  • Against fisherman, can zap the fisherman to allow two hits. Do not trigger the ability.
  • Against opponent terry, fisherman at 9-4, when terry is roughly on 2nd or 3rd row (not too early), except if terry not on bypass (then can play almost asap). Afterwards good placement is 6-4 + a defensive troop to cancel terry.
  • Abuse prince + bats push.
  • Role of each card:
  • bats do not dies to terry ability, and deal a lot of dps. prince is immune to ability as well. bowler to push back terry as well and other offensive troop. zap to reset fisherman, or to kill bats, etc. fisherman as best counter against terry.

Mega Monk Challenge (2023-05-22)
  • Deck advised by Ouah
  • Did 8-3, 10-3, and 12-8.
  • Other deck I tried was much more difficult to play.
  • For instance deck from SirTag, which I find difficult against infernodragon. However note the nice tip from SirTag: You just distract the inferno dragon with tombstone skeletons / goblins on your side. When you have the monk spamming at your opponent you go goblins or ebarbs with it and click ability and take tower. This is a very defensive deck that can stop anything in this mode, while you find the moment you want to guaranteed take tower with the OP push
  • Ideal start is nightwitch behind the monk.
  • Try to always build a push behind the monk, and defend (but not too much) in the other lane.
  • Abuse ability against casters. Make sure to have all troops in vicinity to protect them.

Boost Fields Challenge (2023-05-30)
  • Did 10-3, 8-3 and 12-1.
  • Try to invest a lot in the back, e.g. royalrecruits.
  • Keep bowler to counter OPP hog. ramrider can also counter very well OPP win condition.
  • Ideally play goblinhut behind princess towers, except in emergency case.
  • royalrecruits + ramrider combo is usually deadly. Better play ramrider on the side so it's not distracted by building.

Cr-ramrider.png Cr-bowler.png Cr-royalrecruits.png Cr-flyingmachine.png Cr-goblingang.png Cr-goblinhut.png Cr-poison.png Cr-arrows.png

Raged Ramrider challenge (2023-06-03)
  • Did 11-3, 6-3 and 12-2.
  • Best deck on rapi, also proposed by Ouah
  • Many options to stop OPP ramrider:
  • Try to play bombtower high to avoid charge (must be quick though).
  • bombtower + icespirit
  • To cycle, usually thelog is safest.
  • Avoid cycling fisherman in the back (can backfire).
  • Cycling megaknight in the back is ok if OPP plays another tank.
  • Try to keep these in the hand at any time: bombtower + icespirit (perfect counter), fisherman + icespirit (to activate), goblins + icespirit to counter. i.e. always keep good answers to OPP ramrider.

Season 48 - Get Ready For Evolution (June 2023)

Season with Slash Royale, level 15 et evolution launch.

  • Minushcule: received ~6500 ewc from season pass chests.
Rock Barbarians(2023-06-10)
  • Try to exploit the rage effect.
  • Play healspirit early enough (eg. along with elitebarbarians)
  • Build push with battleheader, electrodragon, elixirgolem.
  • Usually games are violent.
  • Alternative safer deck is Wotop deck (royalhogs, royalrecruits, flyingmachine, goblincage, zappies, fireball, arrows, barbarianbarrel)

Cr-elixirgolem.png Cr-phoenix.png Cr-elitebarbarians.png Cr-battlehealer.png Cr-nightwitch.png Cr-electrodragon.png Cr-tornado.png Cr-healspirit.png

Barbarians Evolution Challenge(2023-06-21)
  • Did 12-2, 12-4 and 12-2.
  • Play as usual lavahound + balloon.
  • barbarians first play is usually ok because it allows to get the evolution for defense rapidly.
  • Play evolution in defense, or in offense in the pocket.
  • Make sure to always keep an answer to OPP evolution.

Firecracker Evolution Challenge(2023-06-24)
  • Testing with either thelog or arrows, bombtower or cannon, skeletons or goblins.
  • This deck has the best stats.
  • Idea is not lose elixir with spending mightyminer in the back.
  • Usually best is to start cycling hogrider soon, and invest firecracker behind the tower.
  • Cycling firecracker helps in getting the evolution rapidly.
  • If opponent hasn't big cards, better keep a lightweight cycle, otherwise invest mightyminer in the back.

Royal Giant Evolution Challenge(2023-06-24)
  • This deck has the best stats.
  • Starting with royalgiant in the back seems good.
  • Counter royalgiant with fisherman middle, and goblins or mightyminer
  • Can cycle rapidly to new royalgiant.

1v1 showdown farm decks

These decks are useful to farm the Season Pass & Pass Royale at the start of the season. It doesn't work anymore with the latest matchmaker

Best combo:

  • megaknight level 14.
  • mirror level 14!
1v1 showdown underleveled - 2022-06-06
  • Principle: pick rascals as a big tank with somewhat splash and good DPS. Then pick only level 1 card (and one level 3 rare card). skeletonbarrel as wincon and excellent when tower is distracted by rascals.
  • Got three 3-crown in a row against low-level players...

1v1 showdown underleveled - 2022-04-10
  • Mortar to protect the musketeer.
  • Card level: 14-6-5-3-3-1-1-1 (as listed on the left). This allows facing players with <100 trophees.
  • Doesn't work well though. Face often high players.

Deck per arena

Tutorials

Arena 1 - Orange Juice Gaming
  • Arena 1 deck: knight, speargoblins, archers, arrows, goblins, giant, musketeer, minipekka.
Arena 2 - Orange Juice Gaming
  • No fireball value, use only arrows (everything dies to arrow except musketeer).
  • Baby drag better than valkyrie.
  • Put slow cheap units in the back.
  • Arena 2 deck (before babydragon): valkyrie, bomber, archers, arrows, skeletonarmy, giant, musketeer, minipekka.
  • minipekka to take down any tank, or giant; skeletonarmy against any single hit tank. But bomber is weak to arrows.
  • Arena 2 deck (w/ babydragon): babydragon, speargoblins, archers, arrows, skeletonarmy, giant, musketeer, minipekka.
  • minipekka to take down any tank, or giant; skeletonarmy against any single hit tank.
  • Arena 2 deck: babydragon, speargoblins, archers, arrows, skeletons, giant, musketeer, minipekka.
  • Faster deck, but rely on minipekka to take out tanks now.
  • skeletons have a lot of value (although more difficult to play).
Arena 3 - Orange Juice Gaming
  • Arena 3 deck: battleram, goblinbarrel, arrows, fireball, babydragon, megaminion, skeletonarmy, speargoblins
  • 2 winning condition. battleram by itself is not good winning condition, need a secondary one (like goblinbarrel or giant).
  • Bait deck are hard to play.
  • Better arena 3 deck: battleram, goblinbarrel, arrows, fireball, babydragon, knight, skeletonarmy, speargoblins
  • Rush: battleram at bridge, then goblinbarrel when connects.
  • babydragon, then goblinbarrel timely so that babydragon is spotted first (launch when babydragon is 2 square away from river).
  • knight has a lot of value.
  • Arena 3 deck with barbarianbarrel: battleram, goblinbarrel, barbarianbarrel, fireball, babydragon, valkyrie, skeletonarmy, speargoblins.
  • Counter knight: speargoblins at 4-3.
  • barbarianbarrel can tank for goblinbarrel.
Arena 4 - Orange Juice Gaming
  • Arena 4 deck: pekka, babydragon, firespirit, barbarianbarrel, wizard, skeletonarmy, goblinbarrel, fireball.
  • skeletonarmy to counter infernotower (eg. put it on pekka, so that it protects).
  • push with wizard behind.
  • barbarianbarrel has tiny cheap tank when needed (eg. when giant dies, to protect wizard).
  • variant: skeletongiant instead of pekka.
Arena 5 - Orange Juice Gaming
  • Arena 5 deck: witch, hogrider, bats, fireball, valkyrie, barbarianbarrel, goblinbarrel, skeletonarmy.
  • Faster Arena 5 deck: witch, hogrider, skeletons, fireball, valkyrie, barbarianbarrel, goblinbarrel, skeletonarmy.
  • To counter babydragon: skeletons at 6-3. They'll split and attract baby on the other side, to be shot by both towers.
  • Against balloon: switch skeletons to megaminion.
Arena 6 - Orange Juice Gaming
  • Arena 6 deck: witch, balloon, megaminion, fireball, valkyrie, barbarianbarrel, goblinbarrel, skeletonarmy.
  • Variant: mortar instead of balloon.
  • Alternative arena 6 deck: witch, balloon, flyingmachine, fireball, speargoblins, barbarianbarrel, battleram, skeletons.
  • Replace skeletonarmy with skeletons, to lower the cost; battleram instead of goblinbarrel for win condition; speargoblins instead of valkyrie, because valkyrie not so much needed here; flyingmachine instead of megaminion.
  • Variants: giant instead of battleram, and valkyrie instead of skeletons.
  • giant in the pocket very useful to tank for little troops.
  • hogrider cycle deck: valkyrie, minions, skeletonarmy, arrows, knight, cannon, wizard, hogrider.
Arena 7 - Orange Juice Gaming
  • Arena 7 deck: royalhogs, royalrecruits, skeletondragons, bats, skeletons, goblincage, barbarianbarrel, fireball.
  • Apparently, real deck would be to replace skeletondragons with zap.
  • Counter to deck above: witch, babydragon, wizard, arrows, valkyrie, balloon, musketeer, skeletonarmy.
  • ... played a bit, but doesn't seem to work really well.
  • Arena 7, double prince deck: giant, prince, darkprince, megaminion, zap, fireball, musketeer, minipekka.

Arena 6

Arena 6+ deck
  • hogrider 2.6 cycle variant
  • Played against this in arena 6, lost.

  • Principle: lay down FOUR elixircollector (with mirror), and rage them for faster extraction. Cycle rapidly with spirits.
  • When four, put elixirgolem, then mirror, then spirits following them, then golems again. It's possible to have like 8 golems in one row. Clone the golems on the tower, and mirror the clone again. Rage for faster kill.

Download match replay from RoyaleAPI

RoyaleAPI offers a nice feature to show match replays of any player.

Let's try to download the data from their servers.

<button class="ui orange circular icon button button_popup replay_button" data-content="Replay" data-position="top right" data-replay="02P9YP0VQUY9" data-div="replay-1645912106" data-index="1645912106" data-team-tags="2L0VJG02" data-opponent-tags="89UCYQ0C0" data-draft="0" data-team-crowns="2" data-opponent-crowns="1">
<i class="history icon"></i>
</button>
  • We will try to find occurences of data-replay. Go to Sources pane, then right click on top, then search in all files. Enter data-replay. We see that it is used in a file battle_replay.min.js, so "battle replay minified", quite promising.
  • Double click, then accept pretty-print. We see that clicking on this button likely runs the following function:
function initReplayButtons() {
    $(".replay_button").click((function() {
        let e = $(this).attr("data-replay")
          , t = $(this).attr("data-team-tags")
          , a = $(this).attr("data-opponent-tags")
          , i = $(this).attr("data-team-crowns")
          , n = $(this).attr("data-opponent-crowns")
          , r = ($(this).attr("data-draft"),
        $(this).attr("data-div"))
          , l = {
            tag: e,
            team_tags: t,
            opponent_tags: a,
            team_crowns: i,
            opponent_crowns: n
        }
          , s = `/data/replay?${$.param(l)}`;
        s += `&referrer_path=${window.location.href}`,
        $(`#${r}`).html(replay_loading_div),
        $.getJSON(s, (function(t) {
            t.success ? $(`#${r}`).html(t.html).promise().done((function() {
                setTimeout((function() {
                    initArenaMap(e),
                    initSpeedMenu(e)
                }
                ), 100)
            }
            )) : 404 === t.status ? $(`#${r}`).html(replay_not_found_div) : t.status >= 500 ? $(`#${r}`).html(supercell_server_unavailable_div) : $(`#${r}`).html(t.html)
        }
        )),
        window.ga("send", "event", "Replay", window.location.href)
    }
    ))
}
  • So clicking on that button triggers the download at some URL /data/replay?:
 https://royaleapi.com/data/replay?tag=02P9YP0VQUY9&team_tags=2L0VJG02&opponent_tags=89UCYQ0C0&team_crowns=2&opponent_crowns=1&referrer_path=https://royaleapi.com/decks/winner/gc
  • Going to Network pane, we can locate this file. Right click on it, select Copy -> Copy response, and paste that in a file.
  • The content is actually a JSON file containing some HTML code, which corresponds to the data being in the Battle Replay.

Damage vs troops (all level)

How to read the table
  • Eg. fireball, level 9, we have (=) skeletondragons +2 (532). This means FB level 9 kills a skeletondragons level 11 (=9 +2), which has 532 health points. The equal says the elixir trade is balanced (4 elixir for 4 elixir, this assumes only one unit is hit).
  • Units in bold are the one at level 14.
  • TODO: Do a fireball+thelog (in particular, this kills the nightwitch).
Fireball + Zap (6 elixir)
