  • Question
    Which is spell is best to take out the towers?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    It's best to use something highly destructive like the Rocket or Lighting spell, but the Freeze spell is also great and should allow your troops to destroy the tower. (That is, if they are not behind a crown tower!)

    How do you use a spawner deck in Builders Workshop to get to Royal Arena?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    Protect spawner decks with other buildings like Inferno Tower, Bomb Towers, etc. Also, the mortar can be useful if it's used correctly. It is a cheaper way to deal area damage.
  • Question
    How do I bypass building Hog Rider?
    Community Answer
    So to deal with a Hog Rider, you might as well use a building. But the most effective way to take out the hog rider is use the cannon.
  • Question
    How do I counter an attack from a P.E.K.K.A?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    You could use inferno towers, which are super effective against tanks like the P.E.K.K.A. Also, you might want to use minion hordes, because they are massed infantry and can take out a P.E.K.K.A in seconds! You could use a golem or a giant to distract the P.E.K.K.A, but remember to have another card attacking it!
  • Question
    Is placing a tank behind the king a good idea?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    A lot of people choose that approach. There is some bad news, though. If your tank is someone durable, deals a lot of damage, and cost a lot of elixir, (Like the P.E.K.K.A, for an example), people can rocket whatever crown tower the P.E.K.K.A is about to pass. That blow could take out a portion of your tank's health. If you're using the tank for offense and not defense, that's not really the best method. A better approach to do is try to position the tank away from your crown towers, maybe in the middle of your territory -- or place fast troops behind the tank to speed it up.
  • Question
    How can I take out the Trifectar deck?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    That deck is one of the hardest decks in the game! A good strategy is to target the weakness. You can easily swarm your opponent, but be sure to have the freeze spell in your deck! That's a must-have against Trifectar Decks!
  • Question
    What do I need to build a good miner deck?
    Community Answer
    Use a trifecta deck with the miner but don't make the elixir cost so high. It is always good to keep a freeze spell handy. Try out your deck in the training camp first to learn how to cycle through your cards.
  • Question
    What is the best deck in Royal Arena if I don't have any legendaries?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    Try using cards that you can unlock in Royal Arena like The Dark Prince, Guards, Royal Giant, etc. Three Musketeers is useful, too, but it is quite pricey. Also, trying using cards that are already useful, like the Wizard, Mini P.E.K.K.A, etc.
  • Question
    What's your favorite card in the game?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    I personally like the Baby Dragon, because it flies and has the ability to deal area damage.
  • Question
    What is the best deck for Arena 7?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    Some people use tanks. If you don't have tanks, I highly suggest you use one. Tanks are really great for soaking up damage, and dealing significant decent damage.
  • Question
    How do I counter goblin barrels now without Zap?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    That is a tricky question! Arrows are 1 elixir more expensive than the Zap, and skeleton armies can be good as well. However, if you place a tombstone at just the right moment, you might get a hold of something good. Zap is currently the cheapest way to counter goblin barrels, so something better can be very difficult to come up with.
  • Question
    How do I get into the bone pit?
    Community Answer
    Try using a giant witch deck, or any tank with a splash damage troop. If that isn't working, use a tank with a ranged troop.
  • Question
    What do I need to do to stay in P.E.K.K.A's playhouse?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    The best way stay in P.E.K.K.A.'s Playhouse is to tie the match. You can try to defend the entire time or, if you accidentally get a one crown, let the other opponent get a crown so it comes back to a tie.
  • Question
    What is the best way to counter Royal Giant?
    Community Answer
    The best counters to the Royal Giant are barbs, inferno tower, and minion horde. Make sure you place your inferno on time or else the giant will be locked onto your tower. If that happens, place your inferno and zap him.
  • Question
    Which is better, Goblin Barrel or Miner?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    The Miner is slightly better than the Goblin Barrel because it has more health than Goblins. The Goblin Barrel deals more damage, but can be easily smashed by arrows or Zap.
  • Question
    Is P.E.K.K.A, Witch and Graveyard a good deck?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    That is a very good deck. However, make sure you have enough area splash troops for the remaining five cards in your deck, as the Witch does deal quite a little bit of area damage.
  • Question
    If someone is quickly taking down my King Tower, what card should I use to combat this?
    Community Answer
    For your Arena Towers, you probably want to use spawners as they can slow down the enemy quickly. The Tombstone is also an excellent choice.

    Battle for your Crown Chest every day, save up gold to buy it in the shop, or save up your gems to buy a Legendary Chest.
  • Question
    What do I use to counter a P.E.K.K A and a giant?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    Use Inferno Towers, or use the Goblin Barrel as a Zap Bait. Then you can place your skeleton army down to totally overpower them. Use a clone spell if necessary.
  • Question
    What's the best deck for Arena 4?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    The best deck for Arena 4 should include at least 1 tank. A P.E.K.K.A. or giant is ideal, and having an inferno tower at hand can be very useful. Try using arrows or a baby dragon. A hog rider can also help you at sudden death, and you can throw arrows where the hog rider is just in case a skeleton army emerges and for extra damage!
  • Question

  • Question
    What is a 500-chest cycle? Is it a rumor or is it true?
    Artemi
    Top Answerer
    When you battle, you get chests if you win. All the chests you have are in that predetermined cycle, although people have different ones. The purpose is that in every 500 chests, you will always get a super magical chest no matter what. The chest cycle does not move on if you win when you have full chest slots.
  • Question
    How do I make a good all-spell deck?
    DMCsupergamer
    Community Answer
    A good all-spell deck would need to consist of the rocket for sure. If you want to make a fast spell deck, replace the rocket with the lightning spell. Goblin Barrel and the Tombstone are good too, and the poison and Zap/Arrows are recommended.
  • Question

    How do I defeat the wizard when he's coming at my tower?
    Artemi
    Top Answerer
    You will need a slightly tanky unit. Use a Valkyrie or a mini Pekka. The skeleton army will work if you put it right on top of the wizard.

  • Question
    How to counter hog rider and royal giant with log bait if they keep zapping my goblin gang?
    Artemi
    Top Answerer
    Use inferno tower in your deck to burn up those. Even if your opponent zaps, the hog will die and the RG will have very little health. You could also try including goblin gang and skarmy in your deck so if they zap one, you can use the other.
