For those who’ve just downloaded it and aren’t having much luck winning,
we have some early tips and tricks for beginners that will help fight
off the Prince, take down enemy buildings, and give you a victory or
two.Clash Royale could be more addicting than Clash of Clans, so use
caution before downloading it. It’s that good, that polished, and
extremely fun. Once you get familiar with the layout, managing resources
like Gold, and building a deck (or army) to go to battle with, try some
of our tips below to improve your skills, strategy, and overall balance
in order to win fights.
Don’t Be Afraid To Wait: It can be a tense moment,
looking at an open field and waiting for your opponent to attack. It’s
even tenser if your opponent has some units out there, smashing your
towers. You might want to just rush you troops out to stem the
bleeding/fill the void, but that’s not always the right decision. A
full, concerted attack with complimentary units is usually going to be
more effective, so wait for it if you can.
Use Skeleton Attacks
There are multiple different Skeleton troops, and everything but the
Giant Skeleton are very weak, die quick, and are susceptible to arrow
attacks. That said, Skeletons are a great distraction to deploy just
before dropping a bigger “tank” troop to do heavy damage.
Don’t Attack First
Early on I was always first to attack, and my troops were getting
countered by the enemy, and putting me behind from the start. I lost, a
lot, and getting frustrated. Not to mention being outmatched by higher
level troops. Players should wait for the Elixir bar to get full before
attacking, and if possible, wait for the enemy to deploy first, to help
use your troops and a strategy moving forward.
Know Your Cards: This one is pretty obvious, but it’s
the most important thing in the game. Learn your cards, and set your
deck up to have plenty of sets of complimentary cards.Once you start learning all of their strengths and weaknesses, start
building a deck with a lot of complimentary pieces. Make a few and play
with them.
Keep Your Eye On The Clock: At 60 seconds, elixir
starts to fill twice as quickly, and things get a bit hectic. At the end
of three minutes, whoever has more crowns wins. If the two players are
tied, then the next crown wins.
Don’t Rush Attacks
At times rushing an attack with multiple troops and starting heavy
can overwhelm the enemy, and result in an early win. And when this
happens it feels good. Using too many forces at once (or too soon) can often-times put you
behind, and playing catch-up in order to save your buildings from being
taken out. Hitting it hard too soon will put you at risk of being
outmatched early, and quickly losing every battle. Take your time and be
precise with each move.
