Clash Royale's Rune Giant Event: Top Deck Strategies

The Rune Giant event in Clash Royale, running from January 13th for a week, presents a unique challenge. This guide highlights effective deck strategies to maximize your success using the event's namesake card. The Rune Giant, a new Epic card costing four elixir, targets buildings and buffs the two nearest units, significantly boosting their damage output every third hit. Strategic card selection is crucial to leverage this buff effectively.

Top Rune Giant Decks:

Deck One (Average Elixir Cost: 3.5)

This well-rounded deck offers strong defense and offense. Guards and Inferno Dragon counter enemy Rune Giants and heavy units. Firecracker and Arrows handle swarms. For offense, the Ram Rider, boosted by Rage, provides a powerful push.

Deck Two (Average Elixir Cost: 3.9)

This deck utilizes a powerful offensive core with both Rune Giant and Goblin Giant, directly targeting towers. Electro Dragon and Guards provide robust defense against giant-style units, while Hunter and Arrows handle swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant's buff, making this a strong contender.

Deck Three (Average Elixir Cost: 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 diverse range of smaller units makes countering challenging for opponents. If your Archers are targeted by Arrows or Log, quickly deploy Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain offensive pressure.

These decks provide diverse strategies for the Rune Giant event. Experiment to find the best fit for your playstyle and enjoy the event!
