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 showcases effective decks built around the new Epic Rune Giant card, a four-elixir unit that targets buildings and buffs nearby troops, enhancing their damage output every third hit. Remember, the Rune Giant only buffs two troops at a time, so careful card selection is key.
Top Rune Giant Decks in Clash Royale
Here are three strong deck options for conquering the Rune Giant event:
Deck One: Balanced Offense (Average Elixir: 3.5)
This versatile deck counters a wide range of strategies. Guards and the Inferno Dragon effectively handle opposing Rune Giants and heavy units. Firecracker and Arrows provide swarm control. For offensive pushes, combine the Ram Rider with Rage for a devastating speed boost.
Clash Royale Card | Elixir Cost |
---|---|
Rune Giant | Four |
Guards | Three |
Firecracker | Three |
Inferno Dragon | Four |
Arrows | Three |
Rage | Two |
Goblin Giant | Six |
Knight | Three |
Deck Two: Double Giant Powerhouse (Average Elixir: 3.9)
This deck utilizes both the Rune Giant and Goblin Giant for direct tower attacks. Electro Dragon and Guards provide strong defense against giant pushes, while Hunter and Arrows handle swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant, making this a potent choice.

Guards | Three |
Fisherman | Three |
Electro Dragon | Five |
Arrows | Three |
Dart Goblin | Three |
Goblin Giant | Six |
Hunter | Four |
Deck Three: X-Bow Support Strategy (Average Elixir: 3.3)
This deck centers around the X-Bow as the primary attacker, supported by Archers, Knight, and Dart Goblin. The Goblin Gang effectively counters heavy units like the Prince, P.E.K.K.A., and Ram Rider. The diverse range of small troops makes it difficult for opponents to counter effectively. If your Archers are targeted by Arrows or Log, quickly deploy the Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain pressure.
