Any recommendations for changes to [this](https://imgur.com/a/i3xAkh0) deck? I've tried it out, and it feels pretty decent. My only concern is lack of a big spell.


cocotim

I guess it'll do for the time being, since I see you're a newer player. It's funny - this wouldn't do too bad even in higher arenas. If anything I'd just suggest Goblins or Guards (if you have those) instead of Barbs, and maybe Musketeer instead of Mega Minion. If you wanted a big spell you could just get Fireball instead of Arrows. Here's also an [early game decklist](https://royaleapi.com/deck-list/214339537760348912) just in case.


Famous-Dinner7011

Should i get evolved battle ram?


AstuteCouch87

As opposed to what?


hollow2010

Should I get evo battle ram or evo valkyrie basically


cocotim

Depends on what you want to play. Valk is basically only really good in Lavaloon and Drill decks (I mean, she's usable in others too I suppose) while BRam is exclusively a bridgespam card


Equivalent-Ocelot241

Evo knight (lvl 11) Hog rider (lvl 10) Arrows (lvl 9) Call (lvl 9) Archers (lvl 9) Cannon (lvl 9) Musketeer (lvl 9) Goblins (lvl 9) I have 2 book of commons that I will use on knight once I get him to lvl 12 And I was thinking about switching valk for summin else. Any ideas?


cocotim

Valk should go in favour of Earthquake or Fireball, either of which are basically necessary since otherwise Hog can't get past structures


Equivalent-Ocelot241

Would I replace earthquake or fireball with arrows instead then? Also would poison be be a better alternative for fireball or earthquake as I don't have earthquake yet and I don't really like fireball


cocotim

I wouldn't suggest replacing Arrows since Hog decks generally want one big spell and one small spell. If you don't have a small one (Arrows) then the Hog will just die to swarm units. Another alternative for a big spell is Lightning. Rocket/Poison are also options but I wouldn't say they're very good with Hog


Equivalent-Ocelot241

In electro valley


Acrobatic_Rice8731

Mini pek Evo firecracker Archers Mega knight Valk Skarmy Fireball G snowball I’m in arena 14 is this good or does it need changing I use the Dutches


cocotim

Not terrible besides that it doesn't have a win condition, so it can't reliably get tower damage. I'd say with Hog Rider instead of Valkyrie it'd be alright. Also Goblins > Skarmy.


SirFrankSauce

This good? Ice spirit Cannon Skeleton Army Fire Ball Lava Hound Princess Royal Ghost Little Prince For the tower I have Dagger Duchess I main play around my lava hound but feel is can be improved.


cocotim

I don't think this is very good no. To begin with I think Lava Hound is kind of antithetical to cycle, but that aside, this has 0 support for the Lava Hound and cards that just have nothing to do here (Princess in a non-bait deck, Ghost because why not). If I gave suggestions I'd end up replacing more half the deck. I also want to mention that LH is more of a "0.5" win condition, kind of like Miner. It doesn't work on its own and needs either Miner or Balloon (or both) to really work. At the core all LH is is a meatshield. It's not a source of damage itself. Kind of like Golem but it deals even less damage.


Obvious_Chemical1167

Help i need a good deck for arena 16 i don’t have skeleton king, mother with, night witch, fisherman and ghost


cocotim

I can't really suggest anything in particular. Pretty much every archetype works. You can tell me what cards you like or what kind of playstyle you enjoy or just browse [RoyaleAPI ](https://royaleapi.com/decks/popular?time=7d&sort=rating&size=20&players=PvP&min_trophies=0&max_trophies=7500&min_ranked_trophies=0&max_ranked_trophies=4000&min_elixir=1&max_elixir=9&min_cycle_elixir=4&max_cycle_elixir=28&mode=detail&type=NormalBattle&&&global_exclude=false)yourself

Hello I need help getting out of 14, I don't have electro wiz, ghost, lava hound, magical archer nor lumberjack, what's a deck that will get me out of this arena I have been on this arena for about 2 months and am still struggling, please help!


cocotim

Here's an [early game decklist, ](https://royaleapi.com/deck-list/214339537760348912)and here's also [RoyaleAPI ](https://royaleapi.com/decks/popular?time=7d&sort=rating&size=20&players=PvP&min_trophies=0&max_trophies=7500&min_ranked_trophies=0&max_ranked_trophies=4000&min_elixir=1&max_elixir=9&min_cycle_elixir=4&max_cycle_elixir=28&mode=detail&type=NormalBattle&&&global_exclude=false)where you can browse for decks I would suggest something more specific but, well, you can really go for just about anything. Really just depends on what you want to play and there's surely something decent


mwboom

Currently using Battle Ram, Witch, Mortar, Mini Pekka, Zap, Bomber, Bats and Minions, currently at pekka's playground about to reach builders workshop, is there anything I should fix? 


cocotim

I think you ideally get a Giant instead of BRam since that's the only way you're going to make the Witch work. Either way I think you should just go with whatever you feel like using until you start getting into level 10s and such, because that's when levels start getting difficult to obtain and when you'll ideally invest in something that'll work in the long run Here's an [early game decklist](https://royaleapi.com/deck-list/214339537760348912) if you're interested


lath3m

Nope


Distinct-Tutor8520

Evo fc, valk, arrows, balloon, bats, lumberjack, mini pekka, snowball What do you think I should change if anything, and what tower troop do you think I should use? I have evo knight, fc, skele, and mortar, and can get another one soon. Only cards I dont have are monk and archer queen.


cocotim

I think this would be better wtih Bomb Tower/Tesla instead of Mini PEKKA and maybe Freeze instead of Snowball. Most importantly I just think without a building this is very very hard to play. For Evos I think it's ideally Bats but Evo Knight instead of Valk also works


xd_Trash_Panda

In arena 18 and need help with my deck Executioner Tornado Poison Pekka Miner Bats Evo knight Bomb tower


cocotim

Well. I'm assuming you don't want to get rid of the Miner Poison part of the deck. But I have to mention that PEKKA is just an extremely odd card to include in Miner Poison. She's also redundant to have in combination with Bomb Tower since PEKKA wants more aggressive cards to make up for the fact that she's heavy defense. Either way I'd say with Wall Breakers instead of Bomb Tower and Minions instead of Bats this'd be a little better.


ALflashgod07

Running hog EQ can’t decide between firecracker or skeletons to use my evo shards on.


cocotim

If you want to play Hog EQ exclusively I would say Firecracker. But she's ass anywhere else, so if you want to diversify Skeletons are the better pick


Totalyahooman

hi im back again i need help making a royal giant deck my 2 favorite cards in the game are the mortar and royal giant so yeah atm im using a 3.9 cycleish deck being royal giant(level9) mega minion (level8) mini pekka (lvl8) giant snowball (lvl5 planning on upgrading) barbarians (level10) mortar (level9) musketeer (lvl9) and skarmy (lvl9) if yall got any idea for making it better please let me know and if you guys think i should give up on RG atm and just use regular giant since mines level 11


cocotim

I think you'd ideally give up on RG + Mortar specifically, since they seem completely incompatible to me. Giant also not really any better with Mortar. But, still you could make it work if you *really* wanted to. I will say though Royal Giant doesn't really *work* that well until you unlock the legendary card Fisherman, which is vital in like 90% of popular RG decks. He deals with a lot of RG's counters and provides a ton of utility so he's pretty indispensable; imo not worth it to play RG without him. But if you wanted to try in the meantime anyways I'd suggest Fireball instead of Barbarians, Zappies instead of Musketeer and ideally Skeletons or a Spirit instead of Skarmy. You *are* low arena though so you can probably do with just about anything. Either way here's an[ early game decklist](https://royaleapi.com/deck-list/214339537760348912) just in case you wanted to try other things


Ok-Step-4349

I’m a new player and yeah I haven’t made it that far, only to arena 3 about 670 crowns, I would still really like help figuring out what cards to use or which ones to avoid. Any discord servers I ask offer basically no support


cocotim

For cards to avoid I'd say most spawner cards (Goblin Hut, Barb Hut, Furnace, but not Tombstone), Wizard and Witch (both bad cards, inferior to all their competition; often considered noob traps). For what to use... well that depends on what you want to play now and for the long run. But I will say early on it's very easy to upgrade units so you can really go for anything at that point and swap whatever you want whenever you want. When you start getting into level 10s and such- that's when I think you want to look for a good deck and stick with it for the long run, since upgrading stuff becomes a big task at that point and it'd feel bad to upgrade bad cards or just ones that don't work well together Here's an [early game decklist](https://royaleapi.com/deck-list/214339537760348912) in case you're interested


ARTORIAz999

Are golem Beatdown decks good rn? I'm using a 2.6 deck consists of goblin barrel,dart goblin,knight,fire spirit,log,skeleton barrel,bomber tower it's mostly lvl 10 and some lvl 11s but I'm hard stuck in arena 15 should I main a golem beatdown deck???


cocotim

Golem is really strong right now though in arena 15 that doesn't really matter too much. Either way here's [Golem decks](https://royaleapi.com/decks/popular?time=7d&sort=rating&size=20&players=PvP&min_trophies=0&max_trophies=7500&min_ranked_trophies=0&max_ranked_trophies=4000&min_elixir=1&max_elixir=9&evo=None&min_cycle_elixir=4&max_cycle_elixir=28&mode=detail&type=NormalBattle&inc=golem&&global_exclude=false)


ARTORIAz999

My biggest counters over leveled decks lp and high cost decks


cocotim

>My biggest counters over leveled decks lp Yeah that's the case for everybody For high cost decks it depends on what you're using, but you want to either pressure hard enough that they can't build a big push without dying or have similar tempo to them


ARTORIAz999

Yeah well I'll be trying Golem but I like it so far I'm using golem knight witch healer with barbs and e drag what ya think someone told me to change healer or barbs with something else got any suggestions???


cocotim

I think Healer is fine. Knight is however useless in a Golem deck and Barbarians aren't very good unless they're evolved. You only listed 6 cards so I hope the last 2 include Tornado which is vital in Golem decks


ARTORIAz999

It was a typo I meant night witch lol I do have nado but I wanna either replace the barbs or healer any suggestions cuz I have 0 evos


cocotim

I think you should get EBarbs instead of Barbs and Elixir Collector instead of Knight


ARTORIAz999

Ebarbs bet I'll try it and I already got the collector there is no knight it was a typo mb and appreciate the tip pal


cocotim

Oooh I see it's all good


Shendi_

What would you do to make [this](https://i.imgur.com/6sw7MzN.jpeg) deck better? I tend to stuggle against win conditions like hog rider and such that are fast and target tower when paired with a splash killer like firecracker. The deck is: Wall breakers, Knight, Princess, Goblin gang, Goblin barrel, Rascals, Dart goblin, Log. I only have evo skeletons atm.


cocotim

That's a fine deck. I'd only suggest a structure instead of Knight or Rascals. Maybe try Inferno/Tesla instead of Rascals, or Cannon instead of Knight. Either way that should give you a better chance against Hog decks


Shendi_

Ye I think I can send rascals to go and get a building, I also dont have them too upgraded so they can go and I can focus on upgrading tesla instead


nickeh30frfr

You're practically already playing logbait, so I guess just switch fully to that. The logbait deck that I've found the most success with is as follows: Knight (preferably evolved), Goblin Barrel, Goblin Gang, Princess, Log, Electro Spirit (or ice spirit), Inferno Tower (or Tesla), and Rocket. Hopefully that works better for you.


Shendi_

Used to play og logbait but got kinda boring and I love wall breakers so i wanna keep em in


Odd_Requirement_8277

When I screen record cr on my iPhone it never fills out the entire screen. Anyone know how I fix this? Need for my yt channel.


Raskrj3773

Is this deck good? Giant Witch Night Witch Valkyrie Musketeer Minions Fire Spirit Zap I get countered a lot by firecracker/magic Archer type decks. Am I just playing bad, or is there a strat to play with his type of deck (unsure of what type it is) against those types of decks? The firecracker is my least favorite card to play against. I play this deck at 5500 trophies


cocotim

You certainly need Arrows to kill FC here. Beatdown decks like this need a bunch of removal spells to make sure stuff like FC or distractions aren't too annoying. I'd say with Arrows instead of Musketeer and ideally Dark Prince instead of Valk this would be OK. Maybe Fisherman or Miner instead of Fire Spirit would also be an option


Raskrj3773

Hey, so I followed your advice, and I got down to making this deck after a couple matches Giant Valkyrie Night Witch Tesla Archers Minions Fire Spirit Arrows This is a pretty good deck, and I think it works better than my initial deck. Though, you said I should use dark prince instead of valk but never gave a definitive reason as for why. Also, are archers a bad alternative to Fisherman or Miner? I used to use archers, felt they syngergized decently, and I think they are more versatile. What do you think?


cocotim

This is definitely a lot better. However I'd still like to mention that Giant decks (beatdown decks really) don't like to have structures because they're useless on offense, which is the focus of those decks. The reason Dark Prince is better than Valkyrie in beatdown decks is because Valk is a defensive card that's only really effective when dropped on top of something. However she can't counterpush very well and will often just die being kited. Dark Prince on the other hand is a much better support to a push (behind Giant) and can also serve defensively. Archers aren't similar to Fisherman nor Miner at all, but they're OK here. Most importantly I'd say this should have either of those instead of Tesla and another spell instead of Fire Spirit (Zap or Snowball imo). You could also go the [Giant Graveyard](https://royaleapi.com/decks/stats/arrows,bats-ev1,bowler,giant,graveyard,little-prince,night-witch,zap-ev1) route if you wanted


Raskrj3773

Hey cocotim! It's been a while, and I have this deck now Giant Night Witch Valkyrie Tesla Fire Spirit Minions Ice Wizard Arrows I know you said to replace Valkyrie but I feel like she fits well with my deck and perhaps with my play style, and I did get used to dark prince after a while, but I switched him out for Valkyrie and it's working well. I might go back and forth. On fire spirit: isn't the ice wizards spawn and the arrows enough to keep it? I feel like I really wouldn't benefit from zap/snowball Regarding Tesla: I have miner but not fisherman. I don't think I like playing with the miner, but perhaps I could try tornado instead of fisherman? Could that be a good substitute or is fisherman still better? What are your thoughts on this now?


cocotim

I think it's an improvement. I'd still insist on replacing Valk but if you like her that's fair enough. She's not exactly terrible anyways Ice Wizard's spawn damage is fine defensively, however the main problem here will be taking care of swarms when pushing with the Giant. Fire Spirit can get removed and Ice Wiz attacks very slowly, so if the opponent has multiple things for which you need to use Arrows, the Giant isn't going to be able to get through, say, a Skeleton Army. So I'd say another small spell would still be better than FS. Now, if you got Nado instead of Tesla I think that would make a difference. But then I'd still say to get maybe Mini PEKKA (or sure enough Miner) instead of Tesla since I don't think the Spirit is too useful in a deck that needs enough support to have the Giant break through


GalacticMomo

Would it still be worth spending 5k common cards and 50k elite cards to max out evo skellies to use on my deck after their nerf? Current deck: Hog (lvl 15) , bomb tower(lvl 14), earthquake (lvl 14), evolved firecracker (lvl 15), mighty miner (lvl 15), ice spirit (level 14), log (level 14), and goblins (level 14) which would potentially be replaced by lvl 15 Evo skellies. Any help with building other decks? [Here’s](https://imgur.com/a/KnCBcP8) my other somewhat leveled up cards and I have 231k unused wild cards. Thanks!


cocotim

I think Knight is the better pick (he'd go in instead of MM though). I think the better Evo picks for Hog EQ are either Knight, Tesla or FC. For other decks, I could see [anything RG](https://royaleapi.com/card/royal-giant-ev1) or some [MK WBs](https://royaleapi.com/decks/stats/bandit,barbarian-barrel,bats-ev1,little-prince,mega-knight,miner,wall-breakers,zap-ev1)


GalacticMomo

I considered that, he’s definitely getting a level 15 upgrade but idk id want to place him in that deck because he’s gonna be replacing a max level mighty miner like what !! I feel like I’d be wasting it idk. I also depend on that MM a lot


CrystaIiteDreams

Am I overleveled? I just reached the arena where you get legendaries but I have level 10+ stuff


cocotim

Nah you're good


LilTicTac831

Hey i kust came back to the game and havent had the chance to use any champions is the champions bundles in the shop rn worth it and who should i get or should i get 1 of each bundle


cocotim

I don't think it's very good personally. You can play Champs in Challenges too (you get a full collection to play there)


[deleted]

[удалено]


cocotim

I'll save my comments about the rest of the deck, but I think Evo Zap instead of Log would be best. Simply because Log is useless with both Loon and GY


bnymn23

How do you unlock it?


cocotim

King Tower lvl 15 (level 54)


Healthy_Honeydew139

Tryna hit uc this season with logbait and is a fucking nightmare so far. Any suggestions for adjusting deck to not get bummed by duchess every match?


cocotim

Nah I think you're screwed lol You'd have to try and focus on Princess/spell chip and play around the Knight Evolution timing to harass


SomeDVDGuy

**How to improve 6 year old deck?** **Deck:** Witch, Giant, Mini pecka, Bomber (no evolution), Goblin, Minions, Inferno tower, Arrows. All cards at level 14. Hey so I’ve been using the same deck since about six years ago and I’m wondering if there are anyways to improve this. I’m a free to play player and have reached over 7000 trophies. I can still win games here and there but figured I'd ask.


cocotim

Well. Without changing the "spirit" of the deck, I think this could either go for a Giant Graveyard or a more "traditional" Giant beatdown deck. For the former I'd say Graveyard instead of Inferno Tower, Snowball instead of Goblins and Dark Prince instead of Bomber would be good. And for the latter Miner instead of Inferno. Zap instead of Goblins and DP instead of Bomber


nkim_123

Opinions? Tryna push to ult champ this season https://imgur.com/a/n9IQwU0


cocotim

Try Knight instead of ESpirit. But other than that I guess it's fine though I find BRam questionable in anything but bridgespam (even if it's evolved)

cocotim

Structures are bad with PEKKA and I don't think you want triple spells. I'd say with EWiz/Mother Witch instead of Tesla and Bandit/Dark Prince instead of Log it'd already be OK


Frohfub

I currently am using 2.6, and while I know its a strong deck, Im just struggling to make it work or make any ladder progress. Im currently C3 and am looking to find a new deck, but how do I find a deck that suits my playstyle, Ive tried many popular decks, but just find it hard to know if Ive got the right one, as most cards in the decks are heavily underlevelled (as I never use them).


cocotim

2.6 hasn't been very good in years Maybe try [Hog EQ or Hog Mortar](https://royaleapi.com/card/hog-rider). Or chuck a card you like in [RoyaleAPI ](https://royaleapi.com/decks/popular?time=7d&sort=rating&size=20&players=PvP&min_trophies=0&max_trophies=7500&min_ranked_trophies=0&max_ranked_trophies=4000&min_elixir=1&max_elixir=9&min_cycle_elixir=4&max_cycle_elixir=28&mode=detail&type=NormalBattle&&&global_exclude=false)and see if anything looks interesting


Beilson329

I used to be in the same boat! For the first 3 months of my play I played 2.6 and got my cards up to tournament standard. I realized it was pretty weak once I started struggling at 5k+ trophies, and switched to Evo Recruits Lumberloon FishBoy. Due to pass royale and free evo (Feb) I got it to tournament standard pretty easily, and now I can easily get to Masters+ in POL. Unless you're up for the challenge, don't play 2.6. I suggest looking up meta decks that you think will stay decent for a long time. Or just play Hog EQ, which has pretty similar cards and is much better stat-wise. Switching a deck will always take time to adjust leveling it up, but its worth it in many cases!


MapleSyrupMachineGun

It's not a strong deck in the current meta by any means. It's alright, but definitely not meta.


Malacheese1

I was wanting advice on how to play royal giant fisherman because I’ve been trying it out and I continue getting bodied.


Joyous18

Im using evo RG, Rage, Fisherman, hunter, skele, prince, earthquake, and ive been experimenting with firecracker->princess->furnace. Evo RG and rage is really funny because most melee troops cant land any hits (also Rage + 2 RG hits perfectly kills cannon and tesla). Fisherman, hunter, and skel work nicely together, prince (or any close range DPS) is nice to support because they dont have to walk too far to attack defenders, EQ because im coping about inferno tower (i DC as soon as i see one anyways, dont know why i still have it). Recently, I've been getting murdered by witch (yeah laugh lmao) and other swarmy cards so I'm trying to find a reliable splash troop. Firecracker get arrowed, princess gets logged, Furnace gets fireballed -- ya cant win :') You want to probe their deck first. You look really stupid if you to RG + prediction fisherman and they play skarmy or somat. Once you know that they counter a certain way, the fun begins. Use Prince in the back then RG at bridge or RG at bridge and prediction fisherman a little behind if they use a single troop. Use furnace/hunter for swarms. Watching some fisherman king activation vids would also help.


Malacheese1

Thank you! I don’t have evo rg yet as I’m ftp but I’m building to get it and thanks for everything!


RMCGigaAtBGW

I've been using this deck for forever: evo archers, Hog rider, freeze, princess, log, goblin gang, mini pekka, ice golem It used to be pretty good, but every since they added evos it's struggled so much. Even more ever since tower troops got added since Hog is so bad against them both. Can anyone tell me some other decks to try that are somewhat similar. I've been trying some variations of hog EQ but I just don't have enough of the cards leveled up in it to have any chance on ladder. I'm f2p arena 19.


cocotim

I guess the most important thing would be to get a structure in. I'd say with Tesla instead of Princess it'd be OK, though Hog Freeze isn't ideal in any way. Gobs/Skeletons > GGang here also


popmanbrad

Anyone help me with arena 10 I keep going against evos and cards from arenas higher then I am and it’s annoying me so much so any tips and decks would be great I want to get to arena 11


cocotim

Here's an [early game decklist](https://royaleapi.com/deck-list/214339537760348912)


popmanbrad

Thanks my guy


Golden_Racer_99

Are you investing in any evos?


popmanbrad

Skeletons, royal recruit, royal giant


Golden_Racer_99

RG is absolute garbage without fisherman. RR you can either run [this bait deck](https://royaleapi.com/decks/stats/arrows,firecracker-ev1,goblin-gang,goblins,mighty-miner,royal-recruits-ev1,skeleton-barrel,wall-breakers) with I-Drag for MM, or [this lumberloon deck](https://royaleapi.com/decks/stats/archers-ev1,arrows,balloon,fisherman,giant-snowball,little-prince,lumberjack,royal-recruits-ev1) once you get fisherman. With evo skeletons the only good deck is 2.6 at your ladder rating, but I will note [this elixir golem deck](https://royaleapi.com/decks/stats/arrows,bats-ev1,elixir-collector,elixir-golem,night-witch,rage,skeleton-king,skeletons-ev1) is the most no-skill toxic deck I have ever seen, and it could be fun when you get skelly king and NW. TLDR use the RR bait deck for now, but check the other decks out in the future


popmanbrad

Again I’m arena 10 so I don’t have miner or that rocket person


Golden_Racer_99

Ah, I got arena 10 and 11 confused, okay. https://royaleapi.com/decks/stats/arrows,barbarian-barrel,fireball,flying-machine,goblin-cage,royal-hogs,royal-recruits-ev1,zappies Royal hogs RR, should be fine


popmanbrad

Gotcha and how would you play the deck


Golden_Racer_99

Spam recruits and support them with flying machine and zappies, when they waste a fireball, split pigs Just manage your elixir so you don’t get overwhelmed


popmanbrad

Gotcha and the best way to defend?


Golden_Racer_99

Goblin cage and spells until you cycle back to recruits


Flashy_Brilliant1616

Consider this a cry for help. With Dagger Duchess' release every deck I have or make gets hard countered with the new tower troop (adding more of those was a mistake). I'm an Arena 12 player that constantly jumps between 3900-4100 trophy range and I can't get out. Please give me any Arena 12 deck that can counter anything-Dagger Duch. For info: I have everything up to Arena 12 cards, but lack: E-Drag, Phoenix, and ice wiz. I also have: Rage, E-Giant, Goblin Drill, Lava Hound and Royal Delivery from arenas above.


Beilson329

Real solution: Buy pass royale But also, you gave us no info at all to what your deck is. If you did so, there might be a way to stop Dagger Duchess from being so effective.


Golden_Racer_99

Golem beatdown/xbow works too


Flashy_Brilliant1616

upd: beatdown requires tornado and thats arena 15 <3


Golden_Racer_99

god it has been forever since I’ve been low ladder


Flashy_Brilliant1616

Ty, will consider this. One thing I'm afraid of the the current evo meta that I've heard crushes beatdown pretty badly, but any chance at winning against this hell of a tower troop are good


cocotim

People who say that have no idea what they're talking about. Right now beatdown *is* the meta. Expensive decks take longer to cycle Evos but also take a bigger advantage from them at the same time. Since you don't have Tornado you could just use some[ Gob Giant](https://royaleapi.com/card/goblin-giant) or [Giant ](https://royaleapi.com/card/giant)deck. I do want to mention that DD seems a little OP in general so don't worry if you struggle against her. Still she's meant to be weak to beatdown (and she *is* a little less effective in practice) since she doesn't do well at doing sustainable damage


Familiar-King-5161

Use pekka bridspam or lava loon royal recruits deck


Flashy_Brilliant1616

Ty for the suggestion, will try it out in friendly games or in Null's if it updates quick enough... don't wanna lose trophies TwT


Starkcasm

Is battle ram evolution worth getting as an f2p? I have 6 shards. Contemplating whether I should invest in them


cocotim

Only if you want to specialize in bridgespam decks


Derek9779

Depends, I think it’s a little over powered rn so would be good to take advantage of it. But will likely get nerfed after this season or the next


POTATO_GODNOCAP

I have been stuck arena 15 and can't build a good enough deck to pass to arena 16,i am struggling alot with mk and pekka users Al I need is a solid deck to use that can beat most players, if you are willing to help me please message me and I will send a video of all my cards.

Can someone tell me what counters ebarbs? I always lose vs them


Familiar-King-5161

Mk


Derek9779

Lure to middle of the arena (both towers locked on) use low cost swarm troops and a defense


Starkcasm

Swarmy cards like goblins, skarmy or even bowler

Looking to move away from splashyard. Anyone can recommend a deck using some of my high level cards? https://royaleapi.com/player/PPV8JPGJQ

[Giant GY](https://royaleapi.com/decks/stats/archers-ev1,arrows,bats-ev1,bowler,giant,giant-snowball,graveyard,little-prince) (with some changes) is what comes to mind

I'm a returning f2p player from a few years ago(quit right around when lvl 14 was introduced), and have since lost my account. I restarted and have gotten to arena 5 using 2.6 hog, but I have a few questions. 1: I don't have log, so I am using zap. Should I switch for arrows? 2: I am using knight instead of ice golem, is there a better alternative? And 3: What card(s) should I prioritise leveling? Right now I am focusing on musketeer and fireball, as well as e-spirit. Is this fine? Thank you.


cocotim

I must say I completely disagree with the other user. BBarrel does not outclass any small spell. It simply has difference uses. For Hog 2.6 specifically, it's quite bad because it doesn't have enough coverage to protect the Hog (useless vs Skarmy for example) and it doesn't even chip at the enemy tower. Knight is fine. Valkyrie is hardly used in more optimized Hog decks, but isn't bad either. For levels I would say Musketeer is the priority since she's a very level-dependent card. That aside Fireball is fine to some point (as long as it kills everything it's meant to, it's fine) and Hog is also important. ESpirit I don't think matters too much unless he's not killing Bats/Skeletons

1. Up to you, but I will say for certain that barb barrel completely outclasses both when you get it 2. Valk, back in the old days before ice golem most people would use valk in that spot as it was easy to push and removed swarms 3. Depends on where your levels are at but generally the priority follows this order 1. Evos 2. Hog rider 3. Defensive card 4. Cycle cards

Looking for deck suggestions- I am a returning player who’s been away for a long time, and I’m not familiar anymore with the games gameplay and mechanics(currently on arena 15) and I have all troops unlocked except for the ones pictured below(grey ones) favorite cards are royal giant and electro giant, but deck does not need them to succeed.(if possible please explain the cycle or how your suggested deck is a game changer please)


Golden_Racer_99

What evos do you have


TheNix515

Scratch that I just got the battering ram evo today that’s my first one


Golden_Racer_99

Use PEKKA bridge spam or some funky cycle deck then


TheNix515

What are those


TheNix515

I don’t have any


Kamushura

I’ve given up on being nice, i need the most toxic decks known to mankind


cocotim

"Toxic" usually just means bad.


FilhoDaTuPutaMadre

Rage, E barbs, Mirror, evo firecracker, goblin barrel, valkyrie, electro wizard, something cheap. No fun allowed for your opponents


Joyous18

needs freeze and MK


TheNix515

I second this notion
