3 Decks To Keep You Above 2900

Clash Royale is one of the most popular mobile games on the market, from the developers of Clash of Clans. It’s extremely addicting, but frustrating at the same time. In this guide we’ll go over some helpful tips to win at Clash Royale, and share some high win-rate decks that will help players beyond 2900 trophies or almost to Legendary Arena.

Royal Giant and Hog

In the current meta, Royal Giant and Hog are very prevalent in high Royal Arena. What happens when you combine both? You get a powerful deck with many offensive choices, keeping your enemy defending, not being able to push. The reason why this deck works so well, is because many players only pack 1 universal counter to both troops.

Example: Player 1 packs Barbarians in order to counter Royal Giant and Hog, as Barbarians are very good counters to those troops.

With Royal Giant + Hog Decks, you can bait out there single counter with Hog, then push with Royal Giant, knowing that they won't have a great counter against it. This can be reversed, instead of using Royal Giant as offensive power, you can utilize the Royal Giant's range to take out defences that the Hog will have a bad time dealing with it. Even if they have 2 counters, this deck still works against them.

2. Hog / Mini Pekka Cycle

This deck right now is being used by nearly every player in Royal Arena. The fact that it is showcased by many Youtubers, and how the deck can revolve back to the Hog / Mini Pekka and still have enough elixir to defend makes this deck popular. Even if the opponent counters a hog push, the player has already cycled back to begin another push. They slowly chip away at the tower, getting hits off every now and then.

With these decks, you are able to cycle quicker then your opponent (unless they are doing hog cycle as well) and allow mini pushes to go off. These decks also have the hard counters to the current meta, counters including Barbarians, Mini Pekka and Inferno.

Giant Balloon

This deck has been slowly rising in popularity, as it uses one of the best 10 elixir combos in the game. The fact that this deck outputs a lot of damage makes this deck deadly if you don't have a hard counter to the balloon. This deck is for players who are not interested in the Meta, and want to try something different.
