Clash Royale's Rune Giant Event: Top Deck Strategies
The Rune Giant event in Clash Royale, running from January 13th for seven days, presents a unique challenge. This guide offers three effective decks built around the new Epic Rune Giant card (4 elixir), which targets buildings and buffs nearby troops, enhancing their damage every third hit. Remember, the Rune Giant only buffs two troops at a time, so careful card selection is crucial.
Deck One: Balanced Offense (Average Elixir: 3.5)
This versatile deck counters a wide range of strategies. Guards and Inferno Dragon effectively handle enemy Rune Giants and heavy units. Firecracker and Arrows neutralize swarms. For offense, combine the Ram Rider with Rage for a devastating speed boost.
| Clash Royale Card | Elixir Cost |
|---|---|
| Rune Giant | Four |
| Guards | Three |
| Firecracker | Three |
| Inferno Dragon | Four |
| Arrows | Three |
| Rage | Two |
| Goblin Giant | Six |
| Knight | Three |
Deck Two: Powerful Giant Push (Average Elixir: 3.9)
This deck utilizes both the Rune Giant and Goblin Giant for direct tower attacks. Electro Dragon and Guards defend against most giant-based pushes, while Hunter and Arrows handle swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant, making this a potent choice.
| Clash Royale Card | Elixir Cost |
|---|---|
| Rune Giant | Four |
| Guards | Three |
| Fisherman | Three |
| Electro Dragon | Five |
| Arrows | Three |
| Dart Goblin | Three |
| Goblin Giant | Six |
| Hunter | Four |
Deck Three: X-Bow Support (Average Elixir: 3.3)
This deck centers around the X-Bow as the primary attacker, supported by Archers, Knight, and Dart Goblin. Goblin Gang effectively counters heavy hitters like Prince, P.E.K.K.A., and Ram Rider. The abundance of small troops makes it difficult for opponents to counter effectively. If your Archers are targeted by Arrows or Log, quickly deploy Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain pressure.
| Clash Royale Card | Elixir Cost |
|---|---|
| Rune Giant | Four |
| Goblin Gang | Three |
| Giant Snowball | Two |
| Log | Two |
| Archers | Three |
| Dart Goblin | Three |
| X-Bow | Six |
| Knight | Three |
These decks provide a solid foundation for success in the Rune Giant event. Remember to adapt your strategy based on your opponent's deck and play style. Good luck and have fun!
