Classic X-Bow siege updated with Evolution Tesla and Archers. Lock X-Bow onto tower while defending with Evo Tesla. Evo Archers provide incredible defensive and offensive value.

Why It's Great

Hog 2.6 is one of the most elixir-efficient decks in Clash Royale and has been a best Clash Royale deck for years. With an incredibly low average elixir cost, you can cycle back to your Hog Rider faster than your opponent can respond.

How to Play

• Opening Move: Start with Ice Golem or Skeletons to test your opponent's deck
• Offensive Strategy: Use Ice Golem to tank while Hog Rider connects to the tower. Time your pushes when opponent is low on elixir
• Defense: Utilize Cannon for tanks, Musketeer for air troops, and Ice Golem for kiting. Master placement timing for maximum value
• Spell Usage: Save Fireball for high-value targets like Musketeer, Wizard, or Elixir Collector. Use Log for swarm units and chip damage
• Advanced Technique: Practice "pig push" (placing Ice Spirit or Ice Golem to bypass buildings) and cannon placements for different win conditions

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: Extremely versatile, cheap cycle allows constant pressure, excellent defensive options, high skill ceiling

Weaknesses: Struggles against heavy spell decks (Rocket, Lightning), requires precise timing and placement, difficult to master

Why It's Great

Log Bait is a great Clash Royale deck that revolves around forcing your opponent to use The Log on low-value targets, allowing your Goblin Barrel to connect for massive damage. It's consistently top-tier in every meta.

How to Play

• Bait Strategy: Use Princess, Goblin Gang, or Skeleton Army to bait out The Log or Zap
• Barrel Placement: Vary your Goblin Barrel placement - corners, center, or even anti-fireball positions
• Defense: Inferno Tower melts tanks while Knight and Goblin Gang handle ground swarms
• Rocket Cycling: In overtime or when opponent plays defensively, cycle Rockets at their tower for guaranteed damage
• Counter-Push: After defending, immediately place Goblin Barrel when opponent is low on elixir

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: Great against beatdown decks, reliable win condition, excellent spell cycling potential, strong defensive building

Weaknesses: Vulnerable to good Log players who save it for Barrel, struggles against heavy spell cycle decks, requires prediction and mind games

Why It's Great

One of the best Clash Royale decks for versatility. Miner Poison excels at chip damage while maintaining strong defensive capabilities against both air and ground threats.

How to Play

• Miner Placement: Send Miner to tower, varying positions to avoid prediction. Poison supporting troops or the tower simultaneously
• Defensive Setup: Use Bomb Tower as your anchor defense. Skeleton Army for tanks, Bats for air
• Skeleton King Value: Use ability to clear swarms or tank damage during pushes
• Chip Strategy: Focus on accumulating small damage over time rather than big pushes
• Spell Timing: Poison preemptively when opponent places troops to defend Miner

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: Consistent chip damage, strong defensive building, versatile against many deck types, hard to prevent all damage

Weaknesses: Can be out-cycled by faster decks, struggles to break through if opponent turtles with building, requires patience

How to Play

Use Miner to tank for Balloon in aggressive pushes. The ultra-low elixir cost allows you to cycle back to your win condition quickly. Defend with cheap troops and Musketeer, then counter-push immediately.

How to Play

This good Clash Royale deck focuses on constant chip pressure through smart Mortar placement. Bait out their counters with Skeleton Barrel and Dart Goblin, then lock Mortar onto tower. Requires intelligent building placement rather than large pushes.

How to Play

Earthquake clears defensive buildings and damages crown towers, allowing your Hog Rider direct access. This is one of the best Clash Royale decks against building-heavy defenses. Use cheap cycling cards for consistent pressure and solid defensive options with Cannon and Musketeer.

How to Play

Use Graveyard with Poison to wear down opponents. Splash units like Baby Dragon and Valkyrie provide excellent defense while tanking for Graveyard pushes. This great Clash Royale deck excels at controlling the tempo and punishing overcommitments.

How to Play

The LavaLoon combo remains one of the most dominant air strategies and a true best Clash Royale deck. Place Lava Hound in the back, build up elixir, then send Balloon behind it. Use Arrows to clear Minions or Bats that defend.

Strategy Tips

• Save Arrows specifically for when Balloon is approaching the tower
• Defend opposite lane pushes with Barbarians and Mega Minion
• Best played in Double Elixir when you can support your push properly
• Against Inferno Tower or Inferno Dragon, use Skeleton Dragons to reset

How to Play

Electro Giant reflects incoming damage while your support troops deal damage. Use splash units like Baby Dragon and Bowler for protection. This is a good Clash Royale deck for players who like heavy tank strategies with area control.

How to Play

Royal Giant outranges most buildings, and Lightning clears defensive buildings and support troops. Use Fisherman to pull threats away from RG. Great for breaking through defensive setups.
