Q&A for How to Make a Powerful Deck in Clash Royale

You don't need legendaries in a deck unless it is the win condition, such as lava hound or graveyard. You can replace Princess with Fire Spirits, Archers, Baby Dragon, or Spear Goblins. You can replace Ice wizard with the same as above. Replace log with zap or arrows. Replace lumberjack with rage or mini pekka. Replace inferno dragon with minions. minion horde, or baby dragon. Miner can be swapped with knight or hog. Electro wizard can be switched with musketeer or archers.

It depends on your play style. All of them work well if you practice and become good with them. Lava Hound is air beatdown, Giant and Golem are ground. Graveyard and P.E.K.K.A. are rare win conditions in beatdown decks that can also be effective.

Try using hog rider, musketeer, fire spirits, inferno tower, goblin barrel, zap, fireball, and skeleton army. You should focus on making your opponent use their spells on the fire spirits, skeleton army or inferno tower and then pushing with hog and goblin barrel.

It seems like log bait might be a good deck for you. Try princess, miner, minion horde, goblin barrel, inferno tower, skeleton army, and log. You can make variations with hog rider, knight, furnace, and goblin gang. If you don't have near tournament standard cards (level 9 commons, level 7 rares, level 4 epics, and level 1 legendaries) you may have trouble pushing simply because of your card levels. In that case, you will just have to wait and level your cards to continue pushing.

If you need a win condition for a beatdown deck, giant would work. It is also a tank. Mini pekka is a support unit that is also a good defender. It depends on what role you want to fill in your deck.

Try using Hog rider, musketeer, fire spirits, inferno tower, goblin barrel, zap, fireball, and skeleton army. You should focus on making your opponent use their spells on the fire spirits, skeleton army or inferno tower and then pushing with hog and goblin barrel.

A good lava hound deck is lava hound, balloon, minions, baby dragon/wizard, tombstone, zap, fireball, and skeleton army. Whenever your opponent rushes in with a push, defend with tombstone and skeleton army. Then, wait for 10 elixir and place your lava hound at the back. Support it with balloon (if it is double elixir), minions (distract inferno towers), and your spells. You could also use spell bait: musketeer, hog rider, inferno tower, goblin barrel, skeleton army, fireball, fire spirits, and zap. Whenever your opponent uses zap, rush in with hog and goblin barrel. This is very strong.

A good deck to use when pushing from Jungle to Hog Mountain is hog rider, knight, archers, baby dragon, tombstone, fireball, log (zap, arrows are alternatives), and goblin barrel. It's effective against most decks, although it isn't great against other hog decks. You can switch tombstone with inferno tower for more protection against tanks and air troops.

Just request cards and level up your deck. Eventually, you'll get lucky and make it to Legendary Arena. Have cards that can generate an elixir advantage, such as pump.

Baiting zap would be zap bait and a predicting deck would depend on its win condition.

The deck I used is hog rider, knight, archers, baby dragon, tombstone, fireball, log (zap, arrows), and goblin barrel. It is effective against most decks, although it isn't great against other hog decks. Make sure to get an elixir advantage.

It depends on your play style and the cards you've leveled up. Try hog rider, executioner, tornado, knight, fireball, goblins, zap/log, and ice spirit. You'll want to learn how to activate your king tower by pulling troops there with tornado (particularly hogs).

You don't have a good defense against hog rider. I suggest replacing e-wiz with tornado. This will synergize well with your executioner, and you can use it to pull troops to activate your king tower. Learn how to do this online. After your king is activated, you can just pull hog to the center to avoid all damage on your towers (from the hog, at least).

Your deck's cards may not be very strong right now. In Arena 11, you will see many hog riders, elite barbarians, wizards, and executioners. Keep a strong counter to each of these in your decks, such as inferno tower and rocket. Make sure your deck has a win condition, win condition supports, a heavy spell, light spell, main defense/building, secondary defense, cycle card or two, and a runner/versatile response card.

Find a deck with a lot of commons to level up easily. Siege is a good option, as are graveyard cycle, hog cycle, and bait. Tornado is a good card to include to kill hogs and drag many troops to your king tower. Just find an deck that you like and stick with it for a month to master it.

Pick two decks that you like and stick with them no matter what. Only upgrade those cards to max and master it as soon as possible. Good decks are mega-knight/pekka with balloon, hog, or graveyard. You can also use versions of log-bait (rocket did get nerfed, so fireball or poison might be better) or miner poison. Beatdown with golem and lavahound is suffering right now as rocket and lightning are severely nerfed, so they aren't good options. Giant beatdown and siege are also good options if you enjoy playing them. Make sure to have 2 reliable counters to hog, graveyard, and elite barbarians. You should also learn how to counter the new cards: Zappies and Hunter.

It depends on what role you want the card to play and what deck you're using. Bandit is a good bridge spam unit, rush attacker, and punishment to your opponent for investing in a high elixir cost card. She's also decent on defense and deals pretty high damage. Princess is good in log bait decks and is an air splash unit. If you don't already have an air attacking splash card in your deck (wizard, executioner, fire spirits), you should consider using princess. Overall, bandit is at a better place in the meta because log bait was weakened by the tornado and ice spirit nerfs. She synergizes nicely with dark prince, but the choice of which card to use depends on what role you need to fill.

Legendaries will appear in the shop about 3-4 times a month in Arena 10 and up.

The deck I used to get into Hog Mountain is hog, baby dragon, knight, archers, tombstone, goblin barrel, fireball, and zap/log/arrows. This deck has great defensive tools, and is powerful especially when you gain an elixir lead. Make sure to always have 3 - 4 elixir, unless your opponent places a golem, PEKKA, mega knight, or pump. Then rush with hog and barrel. Level up the tombstone, fireball, zap (or whatever you will use) and hog first. Then finish upgrading the rest.

Golem, elixir collector, mini pekka, mega minion, baby dragon, lightning, goblins, and zap is a good deck. You need to keep pumping up and then use golem, then mini pekka and the other troops behind it. Lightning whatever your opponent uses to defend.

Decks with mega knight and royal ghost are very popular. Inferno dragon is a strong support, and recently goblin hut has been powerful. Try using these cards if you have them. Otherwise, you can try mortar cycle.

The elixir collector is good because it will give you 8 elixir over time while only costing 6. It's a good investment and will lead to you being ahead in elixir, which is especially important for beatdown decks. If you have the collector in your starting hand and your opponent doesn't, you will have the advantage, since it will give you more elixir than your enemy.

The deck I found most useful in Arena 11 was a P.E.K.K.A. Sparky deck. It consisted of P.E.K.K.A., Sparky, Witch, Fire Spirits, Log, Minions, Goblin Barrel, and Baby Dragon. It was pretty cheap, a 3.2 average elixir average. The main push was only in double elixir, and it was made with a P.E.K.K.A. behind the King Tower, Sparky behind the P.E.K.K.A., and then the Witch and baby Dragon behind the Sparky. This would almost always work, this push being unstoppable. And it's good on defense, Fire Spirits and Minions, with Witch also a defense possibility, and P.E.K.K.A. can also be used to defend against huge pushes as well.

Buildings aren't always necessary for a deck. I personally rarely run buildings, and my highest has been Master II. And for defense, typically your push cards will come in handy. Wizard is perhaps one of the best defense and offense cards due to its splash and high damage. For something only meant for defending, I suggest a tank destroyer, such as a Mini P.E.K.K.A. or an Inferno Dragon. For only offense, I suggest things like a Baby Dragon for its splash but little damage, only around 120. Any card can work for any deck you choose from; it's just sticking to what the deck mainly is, and the rest of the cards are your choice.

A good deck to use in Frozen Peak is a golem beatdown deck. Try golem, pump, inferno dragon, baby dragon, minions or goblin gang, tombstone or tesla, fireball, and zap. You'll want to gain an elixir advantage using the pump and build up an unstoppable push with the golem and the double dragons.

The deck I used when pushing from Jungle to Hog Mountain is hog rider, knight, archers, baby dragon, tombstone, fireball, log (zap, arrows), and goblin barrel. It is effective against most decks, although it isn't great against other hog decks.

Royal ghost recently got nerfed. However, you can use it in this deck - hog rider, inferno dragon, log, royal ghost, guards, minions, ice golem, and poison. If you prefer beatdown, you can use prince, giant, royal ghost, inferno dragon, bats, zap, poison, and goblin gang.

The deck I used from jungle to hog mountain is hog rider, baby dragon, tombstone, fireball, log, archers (you can replace with e-wiz), goblin barrel, and knight. This deck has great defense and offense. Make sure you always have elixir to counter rush elite barbs, but rush if your opponent places golem, PEKKA, or pump.

Lava hound right now is very underpowered and there are many wizards, executioners, and musketeers in the jungle arena to take out your lava hound. Giant doesn't have enough health to be a good tank unless you have him level 8 or higher, so I suggest a golem deck. Try golem, mini PEKKA, baby dragon, mega minion, elixir collector, zap, fireball, and skeleton army/goblin gang.
