Get ready for some epic clashes! Clash Royale's new Rune Giant event, kicking off January 13th and lasting seven days, is here. This event centers around the Rune Giant, so crafting your deck around this powerful new card is key to victory. Let's explore some winning deck strategies.
Best Rune Giant Decks in Clash Royale
The Rune Giant, a new Epic card costing four elixir, charges straight for buildings like other giants. Its unique twist? It buffs the two nearest troops, boosting their damage output every third hit. This means careful troop selection is crucial to maximize its impact.
Deck One (Average Elixir: 3.5)
This balanced deck handles most situations. Guards and Inferno Dragon counter enemy Rune Giants and heavy units, while Firecracker and Arrows deal with swarms. For offense, pair the Ram Rider with Rage for a devastating speed boost.
| Clash Royale Cards | Elixir Cost |
|---|---|
| Rune Giant | Four |
| Guards | Three |
| Firecracker | Three |
| Inferno Dragon | Four |
| Arrows | Three |
| Rage | Two |
| Goblin Giant | Six |
| Knight | Three |
Deck Two (Average Elixir: 3.9)
This deck packs a punch with both Rune Giant and Goblin Giant, directly targeting towers. Electro Dragon and Guards handle most giants, while Hunter and Arrows counter swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant, making this a strong choice.
| Clash Royale Cards | Elixir Cost |
|---|---|
| Rune Giant | Four |
| Guards | Three |
| Fisherman | Three |
| Electro Dragon | Five |
| Arrows | Three |
| Dart Goblin | Three |
| Goblin Giant | Six |
| Hunter | Four |
Deck Three (Average Elixir: 3.3)
This deck uses the X-Bow as its 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 they target your Archers with Arrows or Log, quickly deploy Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain pressure.

| Rune Giant | Four |
| Goblin Gang | Three |
| Giant Snowball | Two |
| Log | Two |
| Archers | Three |
