Clash Royale is a fascinating, free-to-play strategy card game in which gamers go toe-to-toe against each other in thrilling 1v1 or 2v2 clashes. The game has 106 unique cards divided into five rarity levels: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Champion.
While Legendary cards are often seen as synonymous with raw power and destruction, they can also be utilized in more nuanced ways, offering support and boosting your overall strategy. To make your perfect deck, you'll need to know each card inside and out: how it works, when to use it, and how it fits into the greater context.
10 Night Witch
The Legendary Night Witch is an invaluable asset in your arsenal, as she can be unlocked from the Serenity Peak Arena or a Legendary Chest. Her offense is quite effective, with moderate hit points and moderately great damage. She also has a unique ability to summon two Bats every five seconds. The cost of deploying this powerful card is only four Elixir.
Night Witch is adept at crowd control due to her swarm capabilities, and even upon death, will produce bats for a last-minute push if needed. While it may take specific tactics to counter her, more cards out there can be used to tackle this formidable opponent since she was buffed.
9 Miner
The Miner is an invaluable Member of the Legendary Rarity set, unlocked when players reach PEKKA's Playhouse (Arena 4). Boasting moderate Hit Points and Damage capabilities, the Miner is the only Legendary card that can be strategically placed anywhere in the Arena.
With a single-target melee attack, the Miner is renowned for its capacity to surprise opponents with direct damage to their towers. As a result, the Miner provides formidable support when used in conjunction with other troops to push back enemies. However, due to his ability to do only 30 percent damage to Crown Towers, it is best not to deploy him alone.
8 Lumberjack
The Lumberjack has become an invaluable asset in the world of card battling. Day and night, he furiously chops down trees and tracks the legendary Log with unwavering dedication.
His bottle of Rage is an incredible tool for decimating enemy troops and Towers alike, even after being defeated. With his strength and lightning-fast speed, this must-have card is ideal for a broad range of decks. Use the Lumberjack to leave your opponents helpless.
7 Sparky
Sparky is a mighty troop that can utterly destroy a whole army with her area of effect damage. However, when she's on the offensive, she can be vulnerable due to her slow speed and hefty cost of six Elixir.
To get the most out of this ace in your deck, always look for ways to protect Sparky while keeping her close enough to devastate any push that comes her way.
6 Inferno Dragon
The Inferno Dragon is an incredibly efficient defensive tool for taking out high-hitpoint troops. Even against adversaries with lower health points, the dragon's damage output remains impressive and can prove helpful in a pinch.
This particular legendary card has recently improved its ranking and is now poised to break into the top five. With its ability to swiftly vanquish PEKKA, which often pose trouble for the Mega Knight, the value of the Inferno Dragon cannot be overlooked.
5 Electro Wizard
The Electro Wizard is a legendary card available to players who reach Electro Valley (Arena 11). He is a powerful single-target troop with high health and damage that can stun foes from afar.
His offensive capability can reset their abilities, making him an invaluable asset when facing towers like the Inferno Dragon or Inferno Tower. He's also an uncommon unit in that he can cause damage to multiple targets at once, allowing him to take out entire hordes of enemies in one go effectively.
4 Lava Hound
The Lava Hound offers a unique set of capabilities that make her an imposing opponent, mainly if supported by other troops. Her notably high toughness and low damage make her an ideal front-line attacker for taking on Towers. In addition, her capacity to split into smaller Lava Pups upon death allows her to keep up the fight even when facing overwhelming odds.
When using the Lava Hound as a shield, she shines best when covering air units such as Minions, Mega Minion, and Inferno Dragon, with greater damage but fewer hitpoints than her own. As the Lava Hound cannot defend against ground-only targets, it is less effective when used to protect ground troops.
3 Bandit
Bandit is an epic card to unlock once players hit Arena 13. She's a troop with decent HP, which allows her to deal considerable damage. Her main power lies in her dash ability - when Bandit dashes towards the nearest target, she's invulnerable. Her dash deals massive damage (similar to Prince's dash), while her attack rate is swift.
Bandit has a great cost-to-benefit ratio, making her an excellent choice for punishing opponents and pushing dual lanes simultaneously. So don't make the mistake of underestimating her - even with just 3 Elixir, she can reduce the Princess Tower’s health to 50 percent, making her a big threat.
2 Mega Knight
The Mega Knight is an undeniably powerful troop. His high damage output and health pool make him a formidable adversary, especially in defense against large waves of units. But he can be quickly brought down if he's alone, so it's wise to support him with other troops for maximum effect.
Despite this, the Mega Knight remains a potent presence on the battlefield. He can take out almost any attack, from Fireball spells to swarms of enemies. For only seven Elixir, he's certainly one of the best Legendary cards available and doesn't need to be buffed or nerfed.
1 Ice Wizard
The Ice Wizard card has gained recognition as one of the most beneficial cards in the game. Not only does it cause a good amount of damage, but it also provides valuable support and utility to other cards.
To maximize its impact, position your Ice Wizard in the central area of the defender's side of the Arena - this will allow it to utilize its range to full effect and protect itself from harm by drawing attention to your Crown Tower. Thus, an Ice Wizard placed strategically can easily counter an entire team of Barbarians and survive with a bit of health for a succeeding attack.
