Clash Royale's Rune Giant Event: Top Deck Strategies
The Rune Giant event in Clash Royale, running from January 13th for seven days, presents a unique challenge. This guide provides three effective deck strategies to maximize your success. The Rune Giant, a new Epic card costing four elixir, targets buildings and buffs nearby troops, boosting their damage every third hit. Strategic card selection is key to leveraging this ability.
Deck Strategies for the Rune Giant Event
The Rune Giant's enchantment effect only impacts two troops at a time, so careful consideration of support cards is crucial.
Deck One: Balanced Offense and Defense (Average Elixir: 3.5)
This versatile deck excels in both offense and defense. Guards and Inferno Dragon effectively counter enemy Rune Giants and heavy units. Firecracker and Arrows handle swarms. For offensive pushes, combine the Ram Rider with Rage for enhanced speed and damage.

Rune Giant | Four |
Guards | Three |
Firecracker | Three |
Inferno Dragon | Four |
Arrows | Three |
Rage | Two |
Goblin Giant | Six |
Knight | Three |
Deck Two: Powerful Giant Combination (Average Elixir: 3.9)
This deck utilizes a powerful combination of Rune Giant and Goblin Giant for direct tower attacks. Electro Dragon and Guards counter most giant units, while Hunter and Arrows deal with swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant, making this a formidable choice.

Deck Three: X-Bow Control Strategy (Average Elixir: 3.3)
This deck centers around the X-Bow as the primary attacker, supported by Archers, Knight, and Dart Goblin. Goblin Gang counters heavy units like Prince, P.E.K.K.A., and Ram Rider. The diverse range of small troops makes countering difficult. If your opponent uses Arrows or Log on your Archers, quickly deploy Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain pressure.
