The Rune Giant, a new Epic card in Clash Royale, shakes up the arena! Unlocked in the Jungle Arena (Arena 9), players can snag one for free via a limited-time launch offer (until January 17th, 2025). After that, it's chests or the in-game shop. While obtaining the Rune Giant is easy, mastering it requires understanding its strengths and optimal deck synergy. This guide explores some top-tier Rune Giant decks.

Clash Royale Rune Giant Overview

The Rune Giant, an Epic card, targets enemy Towers and defensive buildings. At tournament level, it boasts 2803 Hitpoints and medium movement speed, dealing 120 damage to buildings—more than an Ice Golem, but less than a Giant.

Its unique power isn't its tankiness, but its Enchant effect. Upon deployment, it enchants two nearby troops, boosting their damage output with every third hit. This buffing ability makes it incredibly potent in specific deck combinations.

Costing only four elixir, it's easily cycled without draining your resources. Fast-attacking troops like the Dart Goblin maximize its effect, while slower units can strategically leverage the Enchant for significant damage.

However, the Rune Giant lacks the Hitpoints to be a solo win condition like the Golem. It excels as a support troop, distracting enemies and absorbing tower hits while your other units attack.

Best Rune Giant Decks in Clash Royale

Here are some powerful Clash Royale decks featuring the Rune Giant:

• Hog EQ Firecracker

Details on each deck follow below.

Goblin Giant Cannon Cart

While the Goblin Giant Sparky deck remains strong, this variant, incorporating the Cannon Cart, offers a compelling alternative with the Rune Giant.
