Best Clash Royale Arena 8 Decks
In summary,
Beatdown decks are dominating at Legendary Arena. Most players have
been using Freeze. Balloons, Hog Riders, Barbarians and Minion Hordes
have torn down a ton of Towers in last week. Also, seems like people
don’t want to play with X-Bow any more after the last big nerf.
The Best Beatdown Deck: Hog Freeze
- Hog Rider
- Freeze
- Mini PEKKA/Dark Prince/Valkyrie
- Skeletons/Goblins/Spear Goblins
- Zap/Arrows/Fireball
Beatdown is definitely the most popular Arena 8 deck in this patch after the last balance update.
This type of deck is very relentless as you rarely have to wait until
10 Elixir to drop your cards. The core of Beatdown deck is
tower-thrashing units (Hog Rider + Mini PEKKA/Dark Prince/Valkyrie)
supported by cheap units (Skeletons/Goblins/Spear Goblins). Hog Rider +
Goblins combo is the fastest way to take down a Tower with only 6 Elixir
or less.
Beatdown give you a very linear strategy as you can
easily keep cycling the core troops then use your Freeze for the win.
Beatdown deck works perfectly against Siege decks (require a long time
to set up) and Control decks.
Seems like this base is a bit
helpless in the early game since it doesn’t have any defense but once
you have learn what your opponent has and doesn’t have, you can easily
attack and counter attacks. The most important part of this Deck is that
you easily know when you can’t defend against a certain strategy, you
still have a lot of ways to 3 star your opponent for instant win.
The Best Control Deck: Double Prince + P.E.K.K.A
- P.E.K.K.A
- Pick 2 from Prince, Dark Prince, Hog Rider
- Pick 2 from Wizard, Ice Wizard, Princess, Arrows
- Elixir Collector
Double Prince is still one of the most used combos till now as you
can easily see them in a lot of battles from TV Royale. This combo is
very popular because of the decks versatility. Players using this deck
have a lot of ways to defend and endless lines of play. There are always
some way to counter/create an attack.
At the start, we usually
drop a Elixir Collector in the middle (or a P.E.K.K.A behind the King’s
Tower) and wait for opponent’s reaction. As I mentioned above, there are
a lot of ways to play this deck. If you get overcommit to a single
lane, you can easily double Prince the other lane. If you get attacked
by Dual Prince, your P.E.K.K.A can soak all the damage and kill both
Princes as well as be ready for the counter attack. You can also easily
use Lightning, Rocket, Poison,… in this deck to shore up all Mortar
matchups.
With a ton of AoE damage to protect the P.E.K.K.A, you
can defend very well again any Golem attack and wait for the perfect
time to launce a counter attack with your dual Prince.
The Best Siege Deck: Mortar Deck
- Mortar
- Rocket/Lightning
- Cannon/Tombstone/Tesla/Inferno
- Goblins/Skeletons
- Baby Dragon/Princess/Spear Goblins
No one plays X-Bow after the super X-Bow nerf (but IMO X-Bow is still
good!) and Mortar is the best choice to replace it in Siege decks.
Pretty
similar to X-Bow decks, Mortar decks are quite cheaper and easier to
play than X-Bow Decks. Not like X-Bow decks which use only X-Bow as the
only one damage dealer, with Mortar Decks, you always can deal a decent damage with Rocket, Princess, Baby Dragon or Spear Goblins.
