Get ready for some electrifying Clash Royale action! The Rune Giant event has arrived, kicking off on January 13th and lasting for seven days. As the name suggests, the mighty Rune Giant takes center stage, so building your deck around this colossal powerhouse is key to victory.
This guide will equip you with several effective decks designed to dominate the Rune Giant event in Clash Royale.
Best Rune Giant Decks in Clash Royale
The Rune Giant, a new Epic card costing four elixir, charges straight for enemy buildings like other giants. Its unique twist? It buffs the two nearest troops, granting them extra damage every third hit, creating devastating pushes. However, remember, it only enchants two cards at a time, so strategic card selection is crucial.
Deck One (Average Elixir: 3.5)

This balanced deck handles almost any situation. Guards and the Inferno Dragon are your heavy hitters against enemy Rune Giants and other large units. Firecracker and Arrows effectively counter swarms. For a powerful offensive push, deploy the Ram Rider with Rage for a significant speed and attack boost.

Deck Two (Average Elixir: 3.9)

This deck packs a serious punch with both the Rune Giant and Goblin Giant leading the charge. Electro Dragon and Guards effectively counter most giant units, while the Hunter and Arrows handle swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant, making this a strong contender.

Deck Three (Average Elixir: 3.3)
This deck centers around the X-Bow as your primary attacker, supported by Archers, Knight, and Dart Goblin. Goblin Gang provides a robust counter to heavy hitters like the Prince, P.E.K.K.A., and Ram Rider. The abundance of smaller units makes it challenging for opponents to counter effectively. If they target your Archers with Arrows or Log, quickly deploy the Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain pressure.
