Players need to build a strong deck to win an arena in Clash Royale, luckily, there are various powerful builds available for players to choose from.
Overview
Clash Royale is a popular real-time multiplayer online video game, which features the Royals and the players’ favourite Clash characters, among others. The game invites players to collect and upgrade various cards that represents the Clash of Clans troops, spells and defences players know and love.
In the game, players will enter either two-versus-two, or four-versus-four battlegrounds. The objective is to destroy the most opposing towers, with the destruction of the King’s Tower being an instantaneous win. Those who win the round will receive trophies, crowns and glory in the arena. Clash Royale currently features 15 distinct arenas.
It is important to note that players are ranked by the number of trophies they have. They can level up by gaining Experience Points, which are obtained by donating and upgrading cards. Players should remember that the highest possible card level is 14.
The recent update introduced Star Points, which can be used to give the cards an updated visual skin. However, there are three Star levels for each card. The first level is unlocked when the card reaches level send and the second Star level is unlocked when the card reaches level 10. While the third Star level is unlocked when the card reaches level 13.
In order to win a battle in the arena, players will have to build a strong deck, which can defeat the opposition. However, it can be difficult to build a powerful deck, as the game features a lot of different cards. To make it easier, they can follow one of the following deck builds:
Clash Royale: War decks
Royal Ghost
As the name suggests, this deck centres around the Royal Ghost. It is an area of effect (AoE) damage unit that hovers and remains invisible until he starts fighting. This gives players a huge advantage in battle, especially if they have the fast-moving-prince. It pairs well with splash damage cards, due to its single target attacks. It is advised that players also use the flying electro dragon, as it provides a speedy source of damage.
The Royal Ghost deck consists of:
- Zap
- Electro Dragon
- Skeletons
- Prince
- Mega Minion
- Poison
- Giant
- Royal Ghost
Mega Knight Graveyard
Players should note that Mega Knight decks are generally very strong. This build pairs Mega Knight with Graveyard, which can be quite powerful. However, Mega Knight’s ability to put pressure on the opponent, and the Graveyard’s skeleton spawn can be a lot to deal with individually. This build is thus not recommended for new players.
The build features:
- Poison
- Mega Knight
- Hunter
- Graveyard
- Goblin Cage
- Fisherman
- Electro Wizard
- Barbarian Barrel
Balloon
This build centres around Balloon and multiple fiery cards. Fireball and Lava Hound deals a lot of damage. However, players can use Balloon to take their opponents by surprise.
The following cards are recommended for this deck:
- Zap
- Tombstone
- Skeleton Dragons
- Mega Minion
- Lava Hound
- Fireball
- Barbarians
- Balloon
Royal Delivery
It is believed that this is one of the top decks in Clash Royale. It focuses on Royal Delivery, which is a damage and defence spell to buff the other units. It is recommended that it should damage air units and take advantage of that air superiority with the Lava Hound and Balloon.
This deck features:
- Zap
- Royal Delivery
- Minions
- Mini P.E.K.K.A
- Mega Minion
- Lava Hound
- Fireball
- Balloon
2.6 Hog Cycle
This deck calls for a more offensive playstyle, however players should be careful not to over-extend. It is advised that players save the Musketeer for when the enemy deploys a Lava Hound or a Balloon. The cards in the deck are easy to obtain and level up. Players will be able to win the battles if they understand how this build functions.
This deck features:
- Cannon
- Musketeer
- Ice Spirit
- Skeletons
- Ice Gole
- Zap
- Fireball
- Hog Rider
MusicMaster’s X-Bow
This build is pretty flexible, as it has strong defences and good offence. Generally, players will want to play defensive, and take their time to work out their opponent’s deck. However, they should use X-Bow if the opponent uses something big, like a Lava Hound.
The build consists of:
- Tesla
- Fireball
- Musketeer
- Ice Spirit
- Skeletons
- Ice Golem
- Elixir Collector
- X-Bow
Golem Beatdown
The Golem is a very popular unit, as it has high hit points. Additionally, it is able to deal a lot of damage. This deck relies on pushing back the opponent and taking away their ability to defend. Players should be careful not to lose their Golem.

- Mega Minion
- Lumberjack
- Baby Dragon
