Get ready for some epic clashes! Clash Royale's new Rune Giant event, kicking off January 13th and running for seven days, is here. As the event's namesake, the Rune Giant is your key to victory, so building your deck around it is essential. This guide provides three powerful deck strategies to dominate the Rune Giant event.

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 ability lies in buffing the two closest troops, boosting their damage every third hit. This makes for incredibly powerful pushes, but remember, it only enchants two cards at a time—choose wisely!

Deck One (Average Elixir: 3.5)

Image This balanced deck counters a wide range of strategies. Guards and Inferno Dragon effectively neutralize enemy Rune Giants or other heavy units. Firecracker and Arrows handle swarms, while the Ram Rider, boosted by Rage, delivers devastating attacks.

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 effectively counters heavy hitters like Prince, P.E.K.K.A., and Ram Rider. The abundance of small troops makes it difficult for opponents to counter everything simultaneously. For instance, if they target your Archers with Arrows or Log, quickly deploy Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain pressure.
