Best decks in Clash Royale (March 2023)

Hog 2.6 Cycle

The Hog Rider 2.6 Cycle is one the most efficient decks for inflicting constant damageSupercell
The Log can easily get rid of low-hp troops in Clash Royale.

There’s no doubt that Hog 2.6 Cycle is one of the most elixir-efficient decks in Clash Royale. Once you master the deployment time of your troops, this combination of cards can be a force to be reckoned with.

By holding onto your big hitters until after your opponent has used their elixir, you can deliver some real damage to the opposing, enemy towers.

This is what you’ll need to pull it off successfully:

Royal Giant Ghost Deck

The Royal Giant Ghost deck is highly versatile and is excellent for both attack and defense.

The Royal Giant Ghost is a balanced deck in Clash Royale, focusing on both attacking and defensive styles of play. The main objective of this deck is to overwhelm your opponent with massive numbers and hitpoints combined with a rock-solid defense. The Log and Lightning can easily push back and fry opponent cards. On the other hand, the Royal Giant acts as a tank while the Royal Ghost, Fisherman, and Electro Spirit can wreck both opponent cards and towers.

Featuring an average elixir cost of 3.3, it is safe to say that is one of the strongest Clash Royale builds in March’s current meta, especially for duel decks that were introduced in the summer update.

This is one of the best decks in Clash Royale.

This deck is centered around the latest Champion, Monk. He has the ability to push back and deal damage to opposition cards from time to time. The bonus sustainability from Phoenix and Ice Wizard combined with the exasperation of the Tornado and Tombstone makes this deck extremely efficient in defensive situations.

These are simple rules of the game, but playing them perfectly will open up plenty of avenues that more reckless players simply will not have.

If a carefully measured playstyle is your strong suit, try out these cards:

Lava Hound Balloon Deck

Lava Hound Balloon is absolutely devastating in the current Clash Royale METASupercell
LavaLoon is another great deck for punishing eager opponents, but this one is a little more active than before.

While it’s fairly easy to figure out how to play LavaLoon, mastering the timing of Fireball and Lightning will be what really determines your skill level when using this deck.

If you’re interested in trying it for yourself, this is what it’ll take:

  • Balloon
  • Fireball
  • Guards
  • Lava Hound
  • Mega Minion
  • Skeleton Dragons
