05:38 - 06:14

- ✅ Especially against rock bait, it can be countered with Arrows, Barbarian Barrel, and Electro Spirit.
- ✅ Split Royal Hogs at the bridge and protect them with Flying Machine to build a Royal Recruits push.
- ✅ Flying Machine is a devastating long-range air unit, and many players miss spells or fail to defend perfectly, leading to defeat under great pressure.
07:20 - 08:08
12. 弩 X-Bow: 3.0 X-Bow Deck Operation Strategy
- ✅ The goal is to lock the X-Bow onto the tower, but you need a good cycle first.
- ✅ Place the X-Bow and Tesla at the bridge and protect the push with cycle cards.
- ✅ Placing the X-Bow on the bridge first can lead to immediate defeat in the game, so defend first and use the opponent's elixir disadvantage to build a new push.

08:09 - 09:02
13. 👹 Goblin Giant: Goblin Giant Deck Strategy with Royal Chef
- ✅ At first, be very calm and wait to see what your opponent plays.
- ✅ When the Chef Tower is ready, place the Goblin Giant or PEKKA behind, and when it crosses the bridge, place a second tank and adjust the push with spells.
- ✅ When the evolution card is ready, the push becomes even stronger and unstoppable.
- ✅ When facing Balloon or Graveyard, don't use Minions, save them for defense, and use them to disrupt the Inferno Tower or support the push from above.
- ✅ Fisherman is very effective at activating the King Tower, but can also be used to surprisingly pull dangerous counter cards.
- ✅ It's best for Royal Chef to drop pancakes on the unit with the highest elixir cost.
09:03 - 09:46
14. 💀 Graveyard: Graveyard Deck Strategy with Goblin Heart
- ✅ Goblin Heart Graveyard is the most powerful version of Graveyard.

- ✅ Goblin Heart and Evolved Valkyrie easily defend win conditions, and Furnace Evolution and Poison are a great help in defense.
- ✅ Graveyard is the main win condition, and don't use it alone, use Berserker or Valkyrie to tank the skeletons.
- ✅ Use Poison spell to eliminate swarms, and use Wine spell to eliminate larger counter troops.
- ✅ If you don't gain a significant elixir advantage in single elixir time, don't use Graveyard and save it for double and triple elixir time.
09:47 - 10:32
15. ☠️ Skeleton Barrel: Spam Bait Deck Strategy
- ✅ There are 5 cards that bait the Log, and the pressure is immense.
- ✅ Wall Breakers and Skeleton Barrel are the main win conditions, and don't use them at the same time, push simultaneously in two lanes or use different timings to maintain small pressure.
- ✅ You can also use the new Royal Ghost evolution instead of Wall Breakers.
- ✅ Defense is more difficult because there are no buildings, play cards in a way that doesn't provide great spell value, and keep spamming win conditions to deal damage with cheap elixir.
- ✅ If facing dangerous splash cards, use Wine to defend or freeze to break through the tower.
10:33 - 11:16
16. 💣 Mortar: Combination of Bait and Control Deck Strategy
- ✅ With this deck, you can be stable in defense, but you can build a strong push.
- ✅ Don't play Mortar first, prepare it for defense.
- ✅ You can push with Skeleton Barrel and Spear Goblins.
- ✅ Ice Wizard slows down all pushes, and Mortar distracts.
- ✅ It's best to play the Cannon Cart so that it can be used for attack later as well.
- ✅ Skeleton King and Skeleton Barrel force more units to be used, and a single mistake can deal more damage to the tower.
- ✅ Cannoneer is more recommended than Princess Tower in this deck.
11:17 - 12:14
17. 👯 Three Musketeers: Elixir Pump Operation Strategy
- ✅ The play style of Three Musketeers is simple: build an Elixir Pump and overwhelm the enemy later.
- ✅ It's best not to play Three Musketeers if possible, and surprise the enemy.
- ✅ Play more defensively and don't make too aggressive pushes at first, except when cycling Battle Ram.
- ✅ Protect the pump and build more. Use this placement when facing Rocket, and use this placement when facing other spells.
- ✅ When you have enough elixir, split the Three Musketeers behind the tower. Go with Golden Knight in one lane and Battle Ram in the other.
- ✅ Heal troops with Heal Spirit and play Elite Barbarians to maintain pressure.
- ✅ Thanks to the pump, you have more elixir, and if you can maintain pressure, you can overwhelm your opponent.
- ✅ If the Three Musketeers are underleveled, don't play them because they will die in one hit from Fireball.
12:15 - 12:48
18. 💪 Giant: Graveyard Deck Strategy
- ✅ Giant Graveyard is the best deck to start with Giant.
- ✅ Place Giant Bowler or Witch behind, and if you have a good cycle, you can start a Giant Graveyard push early.
- ✅ Use Snowball to protect the push, slow down and push back troops, and greatly increase damage.
- ✅ You already have a good defensive structure with Cannoneer, Guards, and Bowler, but Evil Witch is very versatile and difficult to block.
- ✅ The longer the match goes, the better the matchup gets and you can eventually break through.
12:49 - 13:28
19. 🐗 Royal Hogs: Royal Push Deck Strategy
- ✅ If you don't want to play Royal Hogs with Royal Recruits, this deck provides a fast cycle with Royal Push.
- ✅ Furnace is a powerful passive damage dealer, always place it behind and force the enemy to use spells they can no longer use on Hogs.
- ✅ Maintain constant pressure, and attack in one lane when the opponent plays a single target, and attack in double lanes when countering with powerful splash cards.
- ✅ You can block all big pushes with Evolved Cannon, Poison, and Royal Delivery, but you can also use Evolved Cannon aggressively if there's something to eliminate.
- ✅ This little girl can be very useful for just 2 elixir.
13:29 - 14:15
20. 🎈 Balloon: Cycle Deck Strategy
- ✅ Balloon cycle is very popular, but if you're looking for a Lumber Balloon deck, change Miner to Lumberjack.
- ✅ This deck boasts insane defense with Bomb Tower, Musketeer, and Snowball.
- ✅ You can easily lure troops like PEKKA or Mega Knight and quickly eliminate Musketeer, so you can get a lot of value.
- ✅ When attacking, use Miner or Ice Golem as a tank for the Balloon, and use Snowball to push back important troops to get more value from the Balloon.
- ✅ Remember the opponent's cards, and when the Evolved Musketeer is ready, snipe important cards from afar with quick reflexes and send the Balloon freely.
14:16 - 14:53
21. 💣 Wall Breakers: Drill Deck Strategy
- ✅ You can push the same lane with these two troops or push both lanes to force a lot of elixir, and you can easily defend with Cannon and Mighty Miner.
- ✅ Manage your defense, but you can also support this defense with Fireball, Log, etc.
- ✅ Play smart and use Wall Breakers to pull cards back. You can also get a new aggressive counter push.
- ✅ As you get closer, support the Drill and Wall Breakers with potential spell predictions or unexpected abilities to reverse any situation and switch between two lanes in the final game.
14:54 - 15:37
22. 🛡️ Mega Knight: Heavy Cycle Deck Strategy
- ✅ This deck has been one of the most consistent Mega Knight decks for a long time.
- ✅ Thanks to the Champion rework, you can play Archer Queen multiple times when facing air, and there are many answers when facing ground.
- ✅ You can completely defend Sparky with Bandit, and Prince is perfect for handling tanks.
- ✅ When using Mega Knight, push by placing Prince behind, place Bandit and Wall Breakers on the other side, and prepare a spell to eliminate swarms.
- ✅ Defense is very difficult, but when you reach triple elixir, it's impossible to defend two Mega Knights and Prince, and all the spam.
15:38 - 16:28
23. 💰 Golden Pump: Powerful Beatdown Deck Strategy
- ✅ In single elixir, you need to cycle your evolutions, but the most important thing is to build an Elixir Pump to create a bigger push later.
- ✅ It's okay to take a lot of damage to the tower. You don't need to defend the push unless it gets too big or damages your pump.
- ✅ When you reach double elixir, place Golem behind, and place Lumberjack and Electro Dragon.
- ✅ Spells can be dangerous, but a well-timed Battle Healer can save Eragra and the push can continue to heal.
- ✅ If the opponent plays Lightning, always block Electro Dragon with Golem, Lumber, and Battle Healer.
- ✅ Use Tornado for attack and bring all enemy units into the Electro Dragon chain radius.
- ✅ Late game makes this deck cook.
16:29 - 16:59
24. 🛡️ PEKKA: Bridge Spam Deck Strategy
- ✅ PEKKA Bridge Spam is still the best PEKKA deck, and you can switch Battle Ram to Royal Ghost Evolution.
- ✅ PEKKA is very strong in defense, especially against Mega Knight and Electro Giant.
- ✅ When attacking, place Battle Ram and Benett behind to make it difficult to block.
- ✅ Magic Archer is a game changer, and use it to attack the tower against many tanks defending Battle Ram.
- ✅ Magic Archer is very annoying and often guarantees a lot of damage.
17:00 - 19:08
25. 🐗 Hog Rider: Three Deck Strategies
- ✅ Hog Rider has three consistent decks that have been around for years.
- ✅ Starting with the weakest version, it's Hog Cycle. The attack doesn't rely solely on Hog Rider spam, you need to engage with splash cards.
- ✅ Tornado is not only strong in defense but also effective in attack, and can deal massive damage with Executioner.
- ✅ Rocket can be used to cycle annoying troops or defend very large pushes, but both evolutions have powerful push and pull abilities, helping to easily defend pushes and pull important targets away.
- ✅ The second best Hog Rider deck is 2.6. This deck has amazing defense. The long range of Musketeer and Cannon is longer than any spell, and you can build a perfect defense with Ice Golem Mukai troops and split the push to make it easy to defend.
- ✅ When attacking, use Ice Golem Hog Rider. Ice Golem is a solid tank for him, can eliminate swarms, and Hog Rider can deal more hits to the tower.
- ✅ If the enemy plays a building, you can use the Evolved Musketeer to snipe it from afar. If there's Fireball value, use it to chip damage the tower a bit.
- ✅ Finally, the best Hog Rider deck is Hog EQ. There's a devastating Firecracker that's terrible for defense but also terrible for attack, but don't let her cross the bridge alone.
- ✅ King Tower activation is very easy with her. Instead, always play with Hog Rider. This way, you can deal chip damage even if the Hog Rider doesn't connect.
- ✅ Thanks to Earthquake, buildings can no longer stop you, and Skeleton Army can also be easily eliminated. Mighty Miner is perfect for destroying tanks, but it's also very tanky in attack, making it much harder to stop Hog.
- ✅ When defending, stack Firecrackers and cycle to the next Firecracker. They often survive and gain great value and can easily counter push.
