What if all the decks in Clash Royale had 4 cards instead of 8? The new event gives birth to this wild idea, allowing players to choose decks that only consist of 4 cards, and every card that the player uses returns to their hand instantly.
This is a big twist in the way we used to play Clash Royale, which is why it might be quite time-consuming to find the best deck. But let’s make it straightforward here. No deck can be the ultimate best due to the lack of options.
It is impossible to have a deck that can counter spams, giants, aerial units, and ranged structures at the same time while dealing damage to the crown tower. So, be prepared for a lot of losses!
Best 4 Card Showdown Decks
| Deck 1 | Deck 2 | Deck 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Skeleton Giant | Electro Wizard | Skeleton Barrel |
| Clone | Sparky | Inferno Dragon |
| Firecracker | Lumberjack | Minions |
| The Log | Barbarian Barrel | The Log |
| Tower Troop: Cannoneer | Tower Troop: Princess | Tower Troop: Princess |
The first deck is probably familiar to you. It uses the old-time favorite Skeleton Barrel and Clone combo. All you need to do is to help the Skeleton Giant reach the crown tower, and once he is there, clone it. This way, the Skeleton Giant will leave bombs in front of the crown tower, dealing devastating damage to it.
The second deck, on the other hand, relies on Sparky. Your important task is to keep Sparky in the back and send other troops like Lumberjack and Barbarian Barrel forward. This way, Sparky will remain safe while dealing huge damage to the opponents and the crown towers.
In case your opponent does have a Sparky too, you can deploy Electro Wizard to neutralize it. Also, this unit can be used to deal with any aerial attacks or slow down giants while Sparky takes care of them.
Finally, the third deck is a little bit tricky to use. In the beginning, try to spam the opponent with two Skeleton Barrels and see how they respond. If the opponent uses Firecracker or Bomber to deny the barrels, then make sure to support Skeleton Barrels with The Log.
However, if the opponent brings rather tanky units like Valkyrie or Executioner, then you need to spawn Skeleton Barrels with Inferno Dragons.
The 4 Card Showdown event will be available until September 30. A challenge of the same name will go live this weekend.
