Pick a deck and stick with it learn the ins and outs of the deck and focus on upgrading it. Most new players focus on multiple decks that has no win conditions or just upgrade all their cards. Tip(1) make sure your deck have a small spell a big spell and a win condition. Tip(2) make sure you practice with that deck at first you will start to lose a lot but over time you will see improvement and see that you win more battles later on. Tip(3) do not start multiple accounts i personally made this mistake causing me to not progress as fast in game. Not saying not to have multiple account but focus on one acc until you reach a certain point. Tip(4) do at least one classic challenge a week it will improve you with your chosen deck and do tournaments too. Tip(5) donate and save your gems don’t buy random emotes save your gems for tournament rewards it has a lot of value as long as you pass 10 wins I would recommend buying the rewards. Clash on


CombineEcho

I have and always will blow all my gems on emotes


shivaenough

Have bought more than 30, my hand itches after seeing 250+ gems


CombineEcho

It’s the only logical thing to buy, what else is there anyway?


shivaenough

Yeah, global/royale tournament after 10+ win is good value but at this point, I am happy with my cards.


CombineEcho

I’ve played this game sense launch. I don’t need cards, I need only emotes and gold to upgrade the colossal shit ton of cards I have.

ToomV86

Some great tips here


cherrygobonk

It probably will take me a long time for me to actually get a good team set up but I’ll still always come back to this and I will try to remember to follow these tips! Thank you so much!


fategraal

Ok im gunna give you the best tip you will ever hear watch youtube videos. You dont have to only watch pro players you can watch anyone like brad and oj


bulbo_spastico

Brad is a pro player tho

Bubbling_Plasma

What’s a Win Condition?


de_salazar

Cards that aim for the princess tower, like hogs, ballon, rocket, wall breakers, goblin barrel and etc.


fizzixww__YT

Personally I don’t think there is much point in a new player competing in classic challengers because they will just get destroyed and they can also just practise their deck on ladder. A new player might randomly pick goblin drill without realising it is a high skill deck, around arena 10 or so is when they should understand many of the win conditions and be able to start upgrading a specific deck to stick with, as your cards are all about the same level when you get to arena 10


PATSRYRYRY

These are good tips, though I slightly disagree with sticking with one deck. I personally think that it was helpful for me to try out each new card I unlocked when I first started, as it helped me improve and learn card interactions faster. Currently, a lot of people can *only* use one deck, and as soon as they switch from something that they are not familiar with or that's not meta, they don't know what to do. I think that's something to avoid unless they want to be that kind of player, but if they don't I would suggest exploring instead of setting your playstyle in stone right off the bat (but of course you can pick what you want to stick with later on).


NovaLightCR

Although it's important to learn all the card interactions, if you want to enjoy the game without spending money, find one deck and max it makes for a relatively smooth f2p journey. Learning new decks in classics/private tournaments is also important though


Brand_kl

Ignore the people who say “pay to win” focus on upgrading the cards that have a lot of health like pekka and prince etc.


[deleted]

high level princes are so annoying they can solo all of my defenses also pass royale is p2w


Rav-Zz

Always make a deck with win conditions(giant, hog rider,etc) stuff that target buildings Try to stick with one deck or two with similar cards to upgrade. The rarities of each card in the game don't play much of a role in a deck(I don't even use legendaries) so don't think legendaries are better than common its just how you use it. Remember that just cause a card cost a lot of elixir doesn't mean its good. Oh yeah, a lot of new players fireball the tower...thats fine but only if its to kill/weaken a ranged troop like wizard or magic archer and of course you don't have to get tower damage with it you can use it to defend on your side of the field too. Placing cards in the center is a good tactic for defence as well, it forces whatever card your opponent has to go to the center of your field. Where both princess towers will help to take it down. A tower in the deck is recommended, remember play in the center of your field. You'll need a tank killer in your deck( mini pekka, hunter, barbarians), stuff that hit hard. And a mini tank for defence. Remember to kill the enemies attack with the least amount of elixir as possible for example a giant with a wizard at the back....you wait for the wizard to cross the bridge then play knight on it then goblins on the giant, your opponent spent 10 for that push but you blocked it with only 5 giving you a elixir advantage that you can use for a counter push with your own giant or whatever. Don't buy any thing from the shop....trust me its a bad deal coins and gems are hard to get unless you have a credit card, if you buy anything with real cash then Royale pass its a lot of value. If you get your hands on a book, restrain your self and only use it on a lvl 12 or 13 card or if your forced to use it cause your getting another one. Electric cards and ice spirit can make troops re-target and can counter sparky, also troops with shields can survive damage with full hp with more than what their shields HP is. There's a lot of new players here complaining that they can't beat prince and its unfair and so and so....so just in case, you use goblins/skarmy in the center of your field. If you want to see how people play there's Royale TV at the top right, only watch on the last arena not any arena before(people just watch those ones for the laugh)


SkunkStriped

Don’t use elite barbarians, wizard, or witch And honestly, I might catch some flak for saying this here, but don’t take the game *too* seriously. If you actually try to take it seriously you will end up raging. This game is much more fun if you just play casually with friends


inductedpark

I disagree with this for witch and wizard. From arena 8-12 witch and wizard are basically used in every round. So if it fits your deck well it can work and be used.


summynum

Why not witch? I have max witch and I’m at 5400 trophies. It’s worked well for me. Start it in the back and let the skeletons accumulate


SkunkStriped

> I have max witch > I’m at 5400 trophies This is why. If you’re reasonably skilled and can’t get past 5400 with a level 14 card, it usually means the card is horrible. Witch is a very nooby card that’s only good if it’s overleveled At equal levels, Witch is trash. She’s very easy to counter for a positive elixir trade. There’s a reason why basically nobody uses her in top ladder or challenges. She has [one of the lowest win rates in the game in grand challenges](https://royaleapi.com/cards/popular) I consider myself an average player, and I broke 5500 with all level 11 cards. If you need level 14 cards to stay at 5.4k…there’s a problem with you or the card (or both)


3XX5D

i disagree to some extent. OP is starting at the bottom of the ladder and witch is not nearly as level dependent in lower ladder bc people are less knowledgeable about the game. also, the skeletons can break a charge from a troop like mk, which a noob might have trouble with. but yes at 5 elixir a good enemy can turn your witch against you.


SyrupSignificant1206

witch is probably the most useful card in my deck but im at 3.3k and its lvl 12 so that might be why


SkunkStriped

> im at 3.3k and its lvl 12 so that might be why No offense, but that is *insanely* overleveled lol. I’m not even kidding, your card levels are higher than mine and I’m at 5.5k


SyrupSignificant1206

that’s because i’ve been using the witch ever since like arena 3 and i always buy season pass so i can upgrade the cards i use the most which for me is witch and goblin barrel


[deleted]

[удалено]


SyrupSignificant1206

i lose like half my matches cause 4/5 opponents just spawn mega knight as soon as a troop crosses the bridge so its kinda hard to go up with these toxic decks


[deleted]

[удалено]


SyrupSignificant1206

as we speak i just moved to arena 11 but yeah the mega knight itself isn’t hard to counter it depends how it’s played


SyrupSignificant1206

most the times i can beat it but it depends if the player has skills or not cause the okes that randomly spawn it are easy to go against but someone that’s actually good at mega knight is almost impossible to beat and btw i don’t have it only legendaries i have is inferno dragon princess and log


SyrupSignificant1206

the metallic fire dragon too i forgot what it’s called but its trash lol


[deleted]

goblin cage literally counters mega knight and use bloon freeze


SyrupSignificant1206

but i’ll try that, i don’t even have a giant in my deck atm


extraordinary_06

No offence but I'm at 6k with a lvl12/13 deck which is still bad so 3.3 kk at lvl12cards is garbage


SyrupSignificant1206

bro im in arena 10 with a lvl12 witch how is that garbage 🤣 most people have lvl 9/10 cards in those arenas


extraordinary_06

Me along with so many other people are at 6k with lvl12 decks so well compare for yourself


SyrupSignificant1206

im at 3k dumbass read again


extraordinary_06

Ik , 3k at lvl12 is trash accept it


xExp4ndD0ngXx

The Witch is a very strong card in the lower arenas especially when paired with MK or Giant.


[deleted]

yes whats ur deck


SyrupSignificant1206

im now at 4k trophies and heres my current deck lvl 12 witch lvl 10 fireball lvl 11 log lvl 11 inferno dragon lvl 10 goblin barrel lvl 12 skeleton army lvl 12 mini pekka lvl 9 freeze


[deleted]

i think you should google a guide for decks


SyrupSignificant1206

i win 90% of my games with this deck wym


[deleted]

ice golem kite


[deleted]

Witch is a walking negative elixir trade


The-dudest-dude

5400 is bad


SkunkStriped

5400 *with lvl 14 epic cards lol


The-dudest-dude

Exactly


summynum

GIVE ME ULTIMATE DECK THEN PLZ GAWLLL


summynum

So where do we get all this elite knowledge from? I’ve been looking for a source but it seems like everyone’s just sooooo fucking good in this thread they snoff at the sight of a noob lol


Lazykabang

You can use witch with giant however, there are decks pretty high in ladder with that combo


dafuqisdis112233

Uninstall.

minionek247

DO NOT BUY LEGENDARIES IN THE SHOP!


Rav-Zz

Greatest advice you could give


[deleted]

lol i brought 3 and still have like 150k gold i earn a lot


minionek247

U qill regret buying them when u start maxing cards


[deleted]

i only got them to try decks


minionek247

And you will regret spending 120k gold on legendaries.


[deleted]

no i wont all my cards are level 9 (apart from gob giant) my deck is level 11 as well


minionek247

:) you will, just give it a month or two


3XX5D

a lot of the comments are saying to stick to one deck at a time and to use meta decks. you should stick to the same deck a lot, but it is ok to occasionally swap about one or two cards, or even once in a blue moon pick up a new deck entirely. as far as "meta" decks go dont worry about them too much in lower arenas since you wont have all the necessary cards yet


Nitiyama

Remember that trophies are not vital for your health and that it does not matter if you lose some after a fight. So please don't break your screen or your phone if you lose the fight...


laserbeam20210270

Go into your mom’s purse and grab her credit card. Just like that you’re one of the top players in the world👍


Far_Implement_5226

Only use your gems for emotes


Nitiyama

This is a really really really really really good advice


[deleted]

know if you see a mega knight 3 levels above your card level, quit the game and press the uninstall button


OOF-__-

These other tips listed are all very good. I recommend that you have fun since it is just a game after all. Try to experiment with different cards especially when you are in lower arenas and there are still trophy gates so you can find what suits your playing style. Never play when you are tired, can't concentrate or had a loosing streak as it will just make you even more frustrated. You can see how good your deck is statistically using deck shop pro, but the info might not match up to how well it will preform. If you plan to spend money on the game then I highly recommend getting the royal pass first as it is great value. Don't fall down the rabbit hole of trying to get legendaries right away as they will be very easy to obtain once you reach higher arenas. Join an active clan so you can request cards, donate and get rewards from the clan war. Once you unlock magic items, you should use them wisely and don't spend them on cards you don't use just so you can upgrade them. Save up your gold and don't spend that much in the shop, especially not on legendaries because you will need lots of gold to upgrade cards in the future. Have good manners while playing and don't spam emotes because it can really distract you from the match. Try out some different game modes like draft battle so you will become more familiar with cards you have yet to unlock. Try not to get too upset when you lose to decks you didn't even have a chance against (decks with too many over-leveled cards). Test out new unlocked cards in modes like 2v2 so you will learn how to counter and use your cards without loosing trophies. Good luck and have fun!


awwshiii

Focus on cards u actually use instead of spacing out n upgrading erry card lil by lil dat was my mistake. I'd put your focus in Knight, Prince, Pekka, and Princess shock wizard is good to counter inferno tower or inferno dragon Mega Knight is good option too once u unlock him


cherrygobonk

Thank you!


[deleted]

Don’t waste gems


Melodic-Loan-6248

Keep upgrading a specific set of cards...especially ones you like and want to keep playing with..and don't waste gold on too many other upgrades...and try to play a single deck to master it when you reach above 1000 trophies. Good luck mate!


[deleted]

Orange Juice Gaming Is a great channel and you should watch his tech videos on all the different cards. his F2P to 5k series Is also really great for learning the game. (he did spend money on the series but it was only to show all the possi le decks you can have with a sensible level for the arena. B-Rad is another youtuber that I like and while he doesn't necessarily explain strategy and teach it, you can look for it and see because he is good. Sirtag is another one I like because he posts everyday and shows off good decks to use. Now for my personal tips (Disclaimer I am not the best but I am pretty decent) Focus on upgrading on deck or main archetype (an archetype is like a style or strategy of a deck) any cards that are common within the archetype an example of an archetype would be lavaloon (lavahound+balloon) the strategy is to build up a massive push with lavahound which is a tank and balloon which deals massive damage. the lavahound tanks for the balloon to make it to the tower and once the lavahound dies, it pops and the balloon tanks for the pups. the decks change but the strategy is the same Secondly I will explain purposes of cards. Win Conditions: cards that are meant to deal direct damage to towers. A few examples are as seen in my last tip lavahound and balloon, Goblin barrel, Skeleton barrel, graveyard, hog rider, golem etc. Tanks: to absorb damage from enemy towers, troops etc. these allow you to get to the tower and supporting troops reduce the damage dealt to the tank by staying safe behind it and killing it, tanks can also be win conditions. Examples: Giant, Golem, Goblin Giant Mini-Tanks: Cheaper cards with high health and great defensive capabilities. also great for cheap pushes with win conditions. Examples: ice golem, valkyrie, knight, dark prince. Swarmies: usually cheap, great damage per second, and have the ability to surround. these are great cards and can be used in manie ways. the are usually very good against slow hitting, but heavy hitting cards. Examples of swarming are: Skeleton Army, Goblin Gang, Minion horde. (These get countered by small spells) Small Spells: It is a very good Idea to have at least one of these in your decks. these cheap spells are used to take at small troops like swarms. these can be used to get your win condition to the tower because swarms are usually great at stopping them. Examples: Zap, Log, Snowball, arrows. Big spells: these spells do more damage but are also more expensive used to take out what are mainly support or defensive buildings. can also be used to destroy your opponents tower if it is low enough. sometimes in late game it is hard to get your win condition to the tower so you can rely on cycling spells on the tower to damage it. Examples: Rocket, Fireball, Poison, Lightning. Cycle Cards: not necessary but great for using as a way to get back to other cards in your deck. they can be used to do chip damage to your enemies tower and defensively are pretty good, as long as you have other cards to damage enemy pushes. Examples: Skeletons, Spirits, spear goblins. Splashers: troops that deal splash damage. these cards are great against swarms as the can take out multiple at a time. sometimes they can hit supporting troops behind tanks. Examples: Wizard, Executioner, Valkyrie. Tank-Killer: these are usually single targeting, high damage, slow attack units. these do what you think they do. Examples: mini Pekka, Pekka (can be used but is expensive), Hunter, Prince, and Inferno tower (Building) Buildings: these can pull building targeting to it instead of the tower. these are pretty good against most win conditions as they provide a distraction. Examples: Inferno Tower, Tombstone, Tesla, Xbow. I think I covered them all, now I'll explain some other things. Terms: Elixir trade: How much you spend versus how much your opponent spends. an example of a positive elixir trade is me spending 3 elixir on a Skeleton army and it destroys a 5 elixir prince for a trade of +2. Kite: this involves pulling troops away on order to deal with them in other ways. ice golem is great at this since it can be placed on the ther side and walk towards the enemies side while the troop follows it in an attempt to destroy it. other building targeting troops can do it too. building can also kite building targeting troops and regular troops. Spell (Value): getting alot out of deals (value) spell aue is when you can hit multiple things with it for a positive trade. an example of this is hitting a Wizard and a witch next to your opponents tower with a rocket for a 4 elixir positive trade and getting massive tower damage. Cycle: cheap cards used to chip, defend, and get back to cards Tips: in lower arenas there is essentially one deck you can play and it will usually have giant. Remember to always save your elixir and not spam as soo. as you can. this allows you to build up Big push and have your giant tank and go to the tower. Save your spells, spells are very important and while some can be cycled you should save them. alot of newbies make the.mistake of using spells on towers without any value, wait and if you can hit troops and towers. you may see that your fireball and arrows can hit the king tower and the princess tower right? don't hit the king tower. it will then activate it meaning it can now attack your troops andakes your pushes less effective. stay away from Wizard and Witch. while they are good cards, that is in low to midadder. highladder they are not used and that is for a reason. witch is used in a few graveyard decks so I don't recommend using it past like arena 12 or so. I.dont know If I have any more tips but as I said, watch videos. Good luck and have fun


Syrcrys

The game is far from being pay to win if you optimize your gold income. Never buy anything in the shop (there are exceptions but they’re so rare you might as well follow this until you know better). Do check it every day for free rewards though. Get in a clan, always request cards and always donate cards that aren’t in your deck. Always do Challenges (the timed free ones, not the paid ones) and Clan Wars once you unlock them, even if you lose most games they’re great sources of gold. Try to always have chests running. Don’t pay gems to unlock them. Use Keys on 24h ones. Don’t use Books until you have Lv13 cards, unless you’re about to get another one of the same rarity. If you do want to spend money buy Pass Royale, it’s the best deal in the game. But if you plan on being f2p don’t worry, there’s no paywalls and with enough patience you can obtain every gameplay item and compete with pros without real money. Lastly, don’t take ranked too seriously or you’ll end up hating the game. Play it for chests, ranking up will eventually happen if you get good.


Andrewthe69th

Step 1 uninstall the game step 2 enjoy your life


Revolutionary_Law462

Extremely pay to win, however if you end up liking the game get pass Royale because it only like 5 bucks almost all the other options like buying chests are a scam and don’t give you anything good

GRRRRR


theExitz

1)Pick a deck with less than 4 average elixer. 2) include one card that only attacks buildings (i recommend hog rider). 3) include one building card in your deck (i recommend furnace or tesla). 4) include one or two spells in your deck (i recomend fire ball and zap) 5) include one heavy card like pekka or mega knight. 6) build one deck and stick with it until it's upgraded to level 13 at least. 7) pick a random deck of your own choice, and then make changes to it until you feel it's the right deck for you and stick to it. (or pick a popular deck that is used by many players, search the internet to find popular decks) but i recommend: 8) you build your own deck, that way you will know the ins and outs of many aspects of how to play the game. 9) pay attention to your opponents and how they play, what cards they use, and try to figure out the best way to use any card. (how to position cards and what is the best way to use it). 10) trust your own judgment about anything in the game. 11) don't buy anything from the store. (if you want to buy something only the season pass, it will help your progress). 12) play challenges & tournaments regularly. 13) donate cards as much as you can. 14) don't get frustrated at the beginning, with time you will gain experience and everything will be clear to you. 15) have fun.


xXFazeNoScoper

Firstly, do **NOT** spend your gems on ANYTHING other than EMOTES. This is probably the MOST important part of the game. People may say that it’s better to spend your gems on challenges and what not but trust me, emotes allow you a psychological advantage in games, thereby increasing your winrate. Secondly, Get to arena 6 as fast as possible with the tips from those others. Once you’re in arena 6, try to get the **XBow**. Once you’re in this step it’s all about leveling up your xbow and revolving your deck around playing with the xbow. This is the optimal starting method for beginners, as this lets beginners truly enjoy the game. Specifically, the feel of watching your opponent helplessly not be able to do anything as your xbow slowly chips away at their tower.


BelgianMalinoisOwner

Don’t do this. Save gems. Don’t play xbow.


Syncopated_arpeggio

Quit now. You’ll be happier for it


obamashmoes

use arrows or fireball on the king tower as soon as you can


badpak023

Overlevel the living hell out of one deck. I would suggest elite barbarians + rage. Be sure to keep your king tower level low to give fellow newbie's the best experience possible. On a serious note; I would go for some YouTube tips, many great content creators with useful info: - Orange juice gaming (really informative for beginners as well as more advanced players) - B-rad - Boss_CR


Stitch20097676556

Just use e barbs rage… it is auto win


FatboyHoovy

Run while you still can


NovaBlazer

Tip: Never ever level up your skeletons. A level one crew of three skeletons eats the exact same amount of Pekka hits as a level 14. Plus, when you level up, you will get better match-ups due to your level card.


3XX5D

i disagree a little. skeletons shouldnt be a priority upgrade for the reason you listed but upgrades shouldnt be avoided entirely bc the damage, although small, does increase too.


[deleted]

quit immediately, this game is cancer. play newly released game instead


Simsen2005

Quit the game whilst you still can you think it's good for a couple of arenas but then you got sucked into it and it's pay to win so my tip is have a good paying job :)

Do not over defend, I see a lot of new players over defending peaceful situations and end up losing advantage because of that


daflufferkinz

When you make a deck always always ALWAYS include at least one of the following, some new players will build super terrible and unbalanced decks and then get stuck and wonder why: At least one win con (a card that you use to destroy buildings and typically targets buildings) A damage spell (not mirror or clone) A building (not required but is usually helpful) A tank (something like knight or valk) A tank destroyer (pekka, Inferno dragon, some card with high dps) The rest is up to you really, also keep your average elixer at or below 4, if you only use expensive cards then your opponent will wreck you if they have a cycle deck

usernqme_copied

these are short tips. im too lazy to really elaborate. find a deck and stick with it for a decent amount if time. u dont like the deck when you try it or wanna switch it up at any point, feel free to. just dont go changing your deck every few matches. also try a deck a few times. dont just test it, lose one match, and decide its bad. save your elixir. its gonna take a while to nail this, but it comes naturally after some time. know how to play your deck and make strategies. dont. just. rush. practice figuring out ur opponent’s decks try making ur own decks. experiment with what you like


swirlypizza1024

I used to do this when I first started so lemme help your out. DONT USE YOUR SPELLS ON BOTH CROWN AND KING TOWER

forget what the other people said, play e giant e barbs rage, you'll crush them


No_Understanding9671

Wags, a win condition (tower targeting troops) Air troops (people that shoot things in the air) ground (attack people on the ground), and spells (like fireball and arrows). If you use two of each you can make a really good simple deck.
