Master the Clash Royale cards you use.

Supercell and the team are busy releasing new cards almost every two weeks. Aside from new card releases (and sometimes arena), they also do balance updates that can buff or nerf a troop, spell or building. 

With all the new and incoming cards and balance updates, the game is forever changing. You have to be on your toes to be in the loop. Sometimes a minor nerf change on your favorite troop can kick it out. It is advisable to make use of three decks you can build in the game. Master each one of it and be ready for any change. 

You have to master the gameplay not just the card. You have to choose if you want a beatdown deck that focuses on a tanker, a cycle deck that lets you change your units fairly fast, or a counter deck that shatters and punishes foes for overreaching. Learning them can be quite tedious but practicing against your friends and even the Training option in the game can help you be better. 

On this section, we compiled the top 20 cards in the arena. These troops, spells, or buildings are the same ones you will face during duels.


Learn how to counter each card.

With all the new troops, spells, and buildings coming in the game, you should know how to counter. Knowing how to counter and what cards will counter yours can sometimes be a deciding factor in winning a game. A great example is using a Zap spell against a Graveyard spell. It will just generate a few more Skeletons in a span of 10 seconds. A great counter would be a Dart Goblin on the side of your King Tower and an Ice Golem to lure those Skeletons away. A good 5 elixir card vs 5 elixir cards. After a good counter, you can now set up a new push. 

Knowing how to counter certain troop card like a Sparky or an Inferno Dragon is a must if you are already on a high level. Both of their power are devastating but a simple Zap spell or that new Electro Wizard and they're done for. A good elixir trade for you. That extra elixir can be used for another push, or probably a counter push to punish your opponent. Aside from the two units indicated above, Golems, Royal Giants, even swarms are not to be taken lightly. These massive tankers are equipped with high HP and can tank other units such as a Musketeer to add to the damage. Having a defense building card such as an Inferno Tower or a Tombstone can help you lure their focus while you set up a counter. Sometimes, even those Goblins and Spear Goblins do a chip damage that can hurt your tower. Having a good spell card such as The Log can help you clear the path. 

On this section, we will teach you how to counter and what cards will counter your bread and butter. Good luck on your games clash on!
