Clash Royale's Rune Giant Event: Top Deck Strategies
The Rune Giant event in Clash Royale, running from January 13th for seven days, introduces a new Epic card: the Rune Giant. This four-elixir unit targets buildings and buffs nearby troops, significantly boosting their damage output every third hit. However, its enchantment only affects two troops at a time, demanding careful deck construction. Here are three effective decks to dominate the event:
Deck One: Balanced Offense (Average Elixir: 3.5)
This versatile deck counters a wide range of strategies. Guards and the Inferno Dragon effectively neutralize enemy Rune Giants and heavy units. Firecracker and Arrows handle swarms. For offensive pushes, 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 a powerful combination of Rune Giant and Goblin Giant for direct tower attacks. Electro Dragon and Guards counter most giant units, while Hunter and Arrows deal with swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant, making this a strong contender.
| 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 counters heavy units like Prince, P.E.K.K.A., and Ram Rider. The numerous small troops make it challenging 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 |
