4. 🎯 Core Strategies for Cycle Royal Giant Deck
· Good Decision Making: You need to flexibly switch between aggressive and defensive playstyles depending on the opponent's deck and playstyle.
· Effective Fisherman Usage: Fisherman plays a crucial role in activating the King Tower for easier defense, and pulling units to the center to be melted by area damage. On offense, it pulls opposing defensive units behind the Royal Giant, allowing the Royal Giant to deal damage comfortably.
· Focus on Counter-Pushes: The Royal Giant deck is a control deck, and counter-pushing with the Royal Giant tanking in front of leftover defensive units is the preferred offensive method. The ideal push involves the Royal Giant taking hits, Fisherman pulling, Little Prince assisting, and Barbarian Barrel and The Log dealing additional damage to the tower.
· Utilize Cycle: Quickly cycle evolved cards with cards like Skeletons, Little Prince, and Barbarian Barrel. It's important to draw necessary cards quickly or draw many troublesome cards for the opponent. There are many strategies possible with two 1-elixir cards, such as split pushes, quickly attacking when the opponent's building is out of cycle, and Fireballing low-health units.
