Clash Royale's Rune Giant Event: Top Deck Strategies

Clash Royale's latest event, the Rune Giant event, kicked off on January 13th and runs for a week. This guide focuses on effective deck strategies to maximize your success using the event's namesake card, the Rune Giant.

The Rune Giant, a new Epic card costing four elixir, directly targets buildings like other Giants. Its unique ability lies in buffing the two nearest troops, granting them increased damage every third hit. Strategic card selection is crucial, as only two troops receive this enhancement at a time.

Top Rune Giant Decks:

Deck One (Average Elixir Cost: 3.5)

This well-rounded deck offers strong counterplay against diverse strategies. Guards and the Inferno Dragon effectively neutralize enemy Rune Giants and heavy units. Firecracker and Arrows handle swarms, while the Ram Rider, boosted by Rage, delivers powerful offensive pushes.

Deck Two (Average Elixir Cost: 3.9)

This deck combines the offensive power of both the Rune Giant and Goblin Giant for direct tower attacks. Electro Dragon and Guards provide robust defenses against giant-based pushes, while Hunter and Arrows counter swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant, making this a highly effective combination.

Deck Three (Average Elixir Cost: 3.3)

This deck centers on the X-Bow as the primary attacker, supported by Archers, Knight, and Dart Goblin. The Goblin Gang effectively counters heavy hitters like the Prince, P.E.K.K.A., and Ram Rider. The abundance of smaller units creates a challenging defensive puzzle for opponents. If Arrows or Log are used against your Archers, quickly deploy Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain offensive pressure.

Experiment with these decks and adapt them to your playing style and the opponents you encounter. Remember to leverage the Rune Giant's buffing ability to maximize your offensive potential. Good luck in the Rune Giant event!
