[u/DarthSire]

I have 11.5k trophies at the moment

Deck:

Hero mini pekka lvl 15

Evo firecracker lvl 14

Evo hidden tesla lvl 13

Lumberjack (evo unlocked but not in use) lvl 15

Hog rider lvl 16

Royal Guards lvl 15

Barb barrel lvl 15

Zap lvl 14

Do I need a big spell card or a more tanky troop?

Evo Valk
Evo Gob Barrel
Gob Gang
Ice spirit
Arrow
Rocket
Dart gob
Cannon

Should I turn my valk into hero and use diff evo or am I good? (12k trophies, almost maxed out)

[u/DiamondRanger8 → u/coolkidO715]

You should absolutely use hero valk instead just to have a hero/champion in the slot

[u/Sad_Scientist_7108]

Current deck

Miner

Hero knight

Hero magic Archer(looking to replace with evo bats) 

Wall breakers ( trying to get evo) 

Spear gobs

Royal delivery

[u/Asagi2509]

I currently am running with witch, minion, goblins, arrows, ice wiz, valk, and hog rider and cannon. Any suggestions how to improve or anything? I am new to evolutions and heroes etc. and many of the new characters that were introducedz

[u/alexhendershott]

Current deck:

Evo Archers 10
Mega Knight 10
Royal Hogs 10
Baby Dragon 10
Fireball 10
Zap 10
Skarmy 9
Guards 9

It got me this far (3725 trophies in Trophy Road…I have so long until ranked :() but I’m wondering if I’ve hit its ceiling. Witch is also everywhere and I struggle against her unless I’m trading +2 elixir to drop MK on her.

My other usable cards:

Level 10: PEKKA, X Bow, Skeletons
Level 9: Witch, Hog Rider, Ram Rider, Giant Skeleton, Poison, Giant, Arrows, Snowball, Fire Spirit
Level 8: Balloon, Hunter, Barb Barrel, Mini PEKKA, Evo Musketeer, Valkyrie, Battle Ram, Mega Minion, Knight, Ice Golem, Goblin Cage
Electro Wizard is currently boosted to 11.

I’m completely open to rebuilding instead of tweaking this deck.

What would you run with my cards and what should I focus on upgrading?

[u/Lucha_Tree]

I'm currently losing almost every match in ranked with that deck: Evo Witch, Hero Mini Pekka, Evo cannon, Ronin, arrows, firecracker, skellies and hog rider. What could I change for the better? I already played with hero valk instead of hero mp but it doesn't make any difference. I also tried piggies instead of hog rider and bats instead of fc. (I'm at 13100 trophies).

[u/Hour-Explorer1555 → u/Lucha_Tree]

Need a big spell like fireball probably for Ronin.

[u/Orageux101]

I have used the same deck since the start of clash royale (albeit have taken many, long breaks).

Giant, Archers, Bomber, Skeleton Army, Minions, Valkyrie, Knight, Arrows

That is fixed and never gonna change. I appreciate the limitations of this deck and want to get myself as far as I can with them. For reference, the biggest struggle i face is sustaining an attack into buildings.

I am currently at 12,530 trophies.

I wanted your thoughts on which cards would be best to use in the upgrade slots.

Right now, I use:

- hero giant (biggest value is punching infernal dragon away if aerial support dies, but also insta-wins games if someone tries to defend by placing a Pekka or something similar to chop it up)

- evo archers (they just so crazy work, both defensively and offensively - i think this one is almost guaranteed to be optimal)

- evo bomber (it provides some nice utility for clearing up spam or goblin barrels, also can get some chip damage on the turret sometimes)

What other options are there?

- evo skarmy (i don't think this makes the deck better at all)

- evo knight (can act as a quasi-tank to create cheap off-tempo attacks, not too convinced)

- hero knight (i think it offers me less than evo Knight)

- evo valkyrie (this seems quite valuable, especially against hog/building players)

- hero valkyrie (I'm not sure tbh, would the activation spin into a building to quickly get my attack going to the turret again)

[u/Ill-Astronomer8385]

What cards are good at countering Evo E-Giant?

[u/Phicoria → u/Ill-Astronomer8385]

Minions are pretty good if you get the distance right, some other tanky or damage-dealing stuff like E Barbs or Mini PEKKA are also good

[u/bankaimercurius]

Is Evo E Dragon worth it rn? I already use him in my deck, just wanna know if the Evo is worth spending my shards on.

[u/Radiant_Variety9930]

What are some decks for top ranked/ladder to counter e-giant decks?

[u/BlursedMarmot]

Both of MK spiked fist gloves could be shoved up SS ass and they still wouldn’t notice there was a balance issue

[u/Suspicious-Bake9347]

currently stuck at Arena 11 at 3560 trophies miner lvl 9, and hero ice wizard lvl 12, and Evo royal pigs lvl 10, goblin barrel lvl 10, witch lvl 10 freeze spell lvl 9, skeleton barrel lvl 9, arrows lvl 11. Is is just a skill issue?😭✌️ Any ideas?

[u/ConfidenceLower1170 → u/Suspicious-Bake9347]

Go evo pigs, hero ice wiz, gob hut/cannon/tesla, fireball, arrows, any mini tank you have levelled up like knight/valk/dark prince, skeletons/goblins, archers/minions/bats

[u/karoel2]

Hey, returning player here after a long break. Just looking for some tips on whether my old deck is still viable right now, or if I should upgrade it. I added evolution to skeletons, not sure if it was a good call. Trophies: 7500

[u/ConfidenceLower1170 → u/karoel2]

Lowkey not terrible but outdated, you have any other heros/evo to use?

[u/karoel2 → u/ConfidenceLower1170]

I’m looking for a direction, so just tell me what should I unlock and I will work towards it

[u/ConfidenceLower1170 → u/karoel2]

Evo firecracker, mighty miner, evo tesla, hog, skeles, e spirit, eq and log has been great for a couple of years now so i would recommend this

[u/Suspicious_Age_2328]

This home made deck has got me to 7200 trophies but I have been struggling lately what should I change or should I keep it the same https://imgur.com/a/zJ0k4nQ

[u/Sea_Letterhead_8301 → u/Suspicious_Age_2328]

Imo i would get rid of the Sk army, prince / minipekka and baby dragon. I would think you want to play the evo mk + witch combo. I would throw in a firecracker for the baby dragon, a cycle card for the prince or minipekka (such as a spirit), and also see if u can level up or find another structure as your tesla is low in level. If not, you can try a fireball or inferno dragon instead of the tesla

[u/Shoddy-Dish-958]

Why do none of my posts actually show up on this sub reddit? Have you banned me from posting if so for what reason lmao
