Clash Royale's Rune Giant Event: Top Deck Strategies
Clash Royale's latest event, the Rune Giant event, kicked off on January 13th and runs for a week. This event centers around the new Epic card, the Rune Giant, a building-targeting giant that buffs nearby troops, boosting their damage output every third hit. This guide presents three effective decks designed to maximize the Rune Giant's potential. Remember, the Rune Giant only buffs two troops at a time, so careful card selection is key.
Top Rune Giant Decks
The Rune Giant, costing four elixir, presents a unique challenge and opportunity. Here are three distinct deck strategies:
Deck One: Balanced Assault (Average Elixir: 3.5)
This versatile deck handles various threats effectively. Guards and the Inferno Dragon counter enemy Rune Giants and heavy units, while Firecracker and Arrows dispatch swarms. For offensive pushes, the Ram Rider, paired with Rage for speed boosts, delivers significant damage.

---|---|
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 counter most giants, while Hunter and Arrows handle swarms. The Dart Goblin synergizes exceptionally well with the Rune Giant, making this a strong offensive choice.

Deck Three: X-Bow Support (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 it difficult for opponents to counter effectively. If your Archers are targeted by Arrows or Log, swiftly deploy Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain pressure.
