10 Best Clash Royale Cheats

Brought to you by the makers of Clash of Clans, Clash Royale is a card-based strategy game for iOS and Android. It is hard to describe in writing just how insanely fun and addictive this app is. The game sees players build a deck of eight cards which they must then use to attack their opponents three towers whilst defending their own. The clever use of rewards is a sure way to get players coming back to the app time and time again, trying to build that perfect deck. There was a time in the past when games simply allowed you to type in a password or cheat code in order to progress, but unfortunately these days are now behind us. Instead, the only way to cheat at games like Clash Royale is with information; knowing what to do, and what to avoid. This article will show you ten of the best Clash Royale cheats and tips, which every decent player needs to know.

Have a balanced deck
This is perhaps the most important “cheat” you need to know, it is vital to have a varied and diverse deck. This means that you are prepared for a variety of different and potentially unexpected situations. There are many sites online which will help you build a great deck, and there’s even one which analyzes the most used cards in competitive situations. A good deck will have a variety of cards at different elixir costs, as well as a mix of Troop, Spell and Building cards.

Don’t go in all gun’s blazing
It’s very tempting to want to charge right into the action and hit your opponent with some of your most powerful cards, but whilst this may occasionally work in your favor, it’s more likely that you’re simply giving the enemy more time to learn which cards are in your deck and plan how to counter them. Instead, it might serve you better to hold back, and allow your opponent to make the first move. This will not only give them a false sense of superiority, but gives you the chance to counter their attacks. Sometimes holding back like this can be the key to eventual victory.

Don’t go upgrade crazy
You can use duplicate cards and coins to level up your cards, making them incrementally more powerful, and this also earns you experience to increase your King Level. It can be tempting to utilize every single upgrade possible, but it would be a mistake to do this. Anyone who’s played even an hour’s worth of Clash Royale will tell you that there are some cards which you’ll simply never use. To upgrade these cards would be a huge waste of your valuable coins, especially since each upgrade level has a more expensive cost. When money is tight you should only upgrade cards if you truly intend to use them.

Trust your towers
Each player has three towers; two Arena Towers and a King Tower. It’s never a good idea to leave them completely undefended, if it can be avoided, but it is worth remembering that the towers are not completely defenseless. Arena Towers each contain an archer, whilst the King Tower contains a powerful cannon, though King’s are unable to attack unless they are damaged or when an Arena Tower is destroyed. It will often be in your interest to let your towers take out weaker enemies with their attacks, allowing you to concentrate on other areas of the battlefield.

Upgrade “weak” cards
Instead of relying on high-cost cards, it is often more effective to upgrade weaker cards, making them more powerful and competitively viable. The main advantage of doing this is that “weaker” cards have a lower Elixir cost, meaning you will be able to play your upgraded “weak” cards more often, something which is especially useful if you’re in a pinch.

Be patient
In some ways, Clash Royale is a waiting game. Unless you’re prepared to spend real money on gems, you’re going to be waiting a minimum of three hours for your hard earned chests to unlock and give you with some new cards. You earn a chest with each win, as well as a special crown chest by collecting ten crowns from your opponents every 24 hours. Some find there’s little point in playing the game at all if you’re chest slots are full and you’ve already collected your daily crown chest. Of course, you can always play for pleasure and practice, but it might also be worth logging off for a bit, doing something else, and waiting for the timer to finish.

Join a Clan
Just like in its predecessor, you can join a “Clan” in Clash Royale. These are a unique element of the game where you can group up with other players and help each other out. If you need just a few more duplicates to reach your next upgrade, then place a request in your Clan, and your clan-mates will be more than happy to help you out. You can even return the favor and earn XP by helping others. This social element is a great way to help – and learn from – other players.

Do Your Research
As with most video games, there is a robust community of Clash Royale players on video sharing sites like Youtube (and similar), which are a great resource for learning advanced techniques and strategies. Furthermore, the game itself has a mode called TV Royalewhich allows you to watch games played by others, and you can even watch your own replays.

Listen for Audio Cues
Clash Royale can get quite chaotic, so playing with the sound on (or even with headphones) is a really good idea. Many of the characters (especially the more powerful ones) deliver an audio cue when they are played, and it is worth learning the most common ones. A robotic sound means a Mini P.E.K.K.Ais in play, whilst the Building targeting Hog Ridersscream out their name in a high pitched way. Having as much information as possible allows you to be aware of potential risks on the battlefield.

Pay close attention to your opponents cards
Another really vital tip; the majority of cards, even the most powerful, can be taken down if you have the right counter; for instance, most tanks can be easily destroyed with a swarm of weak troops, which can, in turn, be taken out by most offensive spells. Pay close attention to the cards your opponent uses and store up counter cards to be prepared for their inevitable move. You might even consider playing the game on Mac or PC, as it’s often easier than squinting at smaller cell phone screens.
