Clash Royale is a free real-time strategy mobile game released in 2016 by Supercell. The idea behind the game is to work your way through the arenas, from level one to level thirteen, in either 1 vs.1 or 2 vs. 2 gameplay. The game has a unique combination of Tower Defense, MOBA, and CCG aspects. The goal is to destroy your opponent by either taking out their King’s Tower or to have the most crowns when the three-minute timer runs out.

13 playable levels require a good amount of both luck and skill complete and reach the top. It’s also going to take the correct cards. This guide aims to point you in the right direction by offering up the best decks for each arena.
