• When you face lose streak just stop playing the game for few hours and it will be fine again.
• When you face lose streak, do not lose your temper, that might harm you or anyone around you because while we are angry we lose our senses most of the time.
• Take deep breath and chill! This is just a game, so no need to worry that much. Just come back to the game after few hours and you'll be back in winning run again.

Arrows - Pretty self explanatory, kills low hp troops and if used correctly can often result in a positive trade for you. I always have arrows pre selected after I place mortar because about 60-70% of people try to counter the mortar with a minion horde.

Barbarians - Solid card. Decent against Giant pushes, absolutely mandatory right now seeing as hog/zap is so popular and Barbarians are such a great counter because they counter the whole combo. Zap is very ineffective vs barbs.

Mortar - That one don't need too much explaining, very powerful and almost broken card. The key is to always try to place it a couple of squares from the bridge so that it just hits the crown tower. This also allows your cannon to be in front of it in order to distract incoming troops. I have attached a picture of the combo in order to give you a better idea of how to place it

Spear Goblins - Just like skeletons, amazing cycle card and great distraction for prince, mini pekka etc. especially when used alongside with cannon. Also great at shredding hog rider when used defensively or doing a bit of chip damage to their crown tower when you have to cycle.

Elixir Collector - Amazing card which I always place as shown in the picture. In overtime, this card really allows you to cycle very quickly and place several mortars if needed or spam rockets a couple of times. An essential card. It also plays a key role when playing against mortar mirrors because it serves as a great distraction for their mortar.

Rocket - This card really separates the average mortar players from the very good players. If timed correctly it can equate to amazing value. Some examples of when to use is when opponent places elixir collector in the back of crown tower and you catch both collector and crown tower or when troop is just approaching crown tower and you catch both troop and tower. Also great against mortar mirrors because you can trade 6 elixir (rocket) for their 7 or more (mortar + cannon or other structure). Overpowered in overtime with elixir collector because you can afford to spam these boys. 

Minion Horde - Simply a solid card to use in your deck. Great at shredding big units such as giant/pekka. Sometimes opponent misuses arrows on your and goblins thus opening the opportunity for you to simply play minion horde at bridge and take their crown tower if they don't run zap/fireball. Sometimes opponents try to play a baby dragon against my mortar + cannon but I simply drop minion horde on top of the baby dragon and pretty much shred it within 2 seconds.

Cannon - Sickening value for 3 elixir. Great at defending your mortar from ground units when combined with skeletons and goblins. It's also great in mortar mirrors to simply trade cannon for mortar if your own cannon does not get distracted. 

• Read - How to Push Slow troops in Clash Royale
• Read - 5 Things you should keep in mind while building a deck
• Read - A Deck That Probably Has No Counter

1. First and most important fact is, your deck must have to be a balanced deck with certain amount of Offensive and Defensive cards, so that you can do a push and in the mean time you can stop opponent's push. You can read everything about any cards in our Card Info section
2. The deck's average elixir should not cross 4.5 otherwise you chances of losing the game is much higher. The decks which has more than 4.5 average elixir are called heavy elixir deck and they generally contains either Golem, Pekka or maybe both. This deck users have to wait for the 2x elixir time to take advantage of their troops but the risk is that if you use this type of deck then most probably you'll get any of your crown towers destroyed before reaching 2x elixir period.
3. The deck should have enough troops for air attacks. Either you keep Baby dragon, or you can have Minion horde, archers etc. Keep in mind that, Arrows can not kill Baby Dragon or Balloon. So while making your new deck, this is a very important point to consider.
4. You must have to keep both single damage troop and splash damage troop on your deck to ensure that you do not get pushed with the troops like Barbarians, Horde etc. So splash damage troops is what you need who can hit mlutiple targets at a time.
5. Your deck should contain a high damage troop which can bring your winning crown. If you follow all the above 4 points but do not keep any high damage troop then you are probably going to lose because you can not even get one crown (I'm not talking about Mortar or Xbow, those are raged troops)

Rocket - Used to hit those players who use huts, elixir collectors, etc. Can be used to hit buildings behind towers, troops along with the tower, or just to snipe the tower. Ex. opponent puts elixir collector behind tower, I rocket it hitting both the tower and elixir collector. Only reason I use rocket is because I do not have lightning spell on this account. Although on my main account I use lightning and prefer that over rocket. Can be replaced with lightning

Goblins - Used defensively and offensively, sometimes I send this right after I send in my hog rider, this is to increase my damage output and maybe bait a zap/arrows. Play this card in middle of base so their troops are lured to the middle and get hit by both towers or take the long route to your tower. Cannot be replaced

Hog Rider - Use this when you are sitting at 10 elixir in beginning if you don't have anything else to play, that way you can see what they have to counter and in the future try to play it when they can't defend back along with goblins or spear goblins. This card acts as the front line and tanks for your smaller troops. Cannot be replaced

Arrows - Used to counter swarms, minion hordes, etc. Sometimes used if you need to get that last hit off the tower. Can be replaced with zap if you please

Elixir Collector - Place this in front of your towers in the middle so that troops are going towards the middle. Used to tank for your towers and generate elixir so you can spam more troops. If hog/prince or whatever is already at your tower, don't hesitate to place it on top of them if that's what it takes to win. Can be replaced with cannon if you don't have elixir collector yet

Minion Horde - Used to defend against tanks or big threats such as P.E.K.K.A, Valkyrie, Giant, etc. Can be used offensively if you know your opponent has no counter such as arrows, zap, fireball, etc. Cannot be replaced

Minions - Can be used to defend against smaller threats such as knight, valkyrie, musketeer, can be used behind hog rider to inflict some great damage. Cannot be replaced

Spear Goblins - Can be used defensively to slowly chip off opponents or lure troops to the middle, can be used offensively behind hog rider and potentially bait zap or arrows Can be replaced with archers, not recommended

My card levels are commons: 7, Rares: 4, Epics: N/A, (Lightning level does not matter)

 If you have elixir collector in your starting hand, awesome, place that in front of your king tower in the middle of your base so troops are lured there and attack that instead of your tower. If they place down bomb tower, or elixir collector and you have lightning/rocket, take it out. If you don't have it, use minions to take it out, potentially bait some troops to be played. Counter their ground troops with your air troops and lure them away with your ground troops. ie. they use barbs at river, use spear goblins and minions to defend, potentially baiting arrows, if not, send the hog in to tank and let the minions and spear gobs to attack the tower. Repeat process just play safe and be alert of their cards, their counter cards, and when it is your time to strike. If one of their towers are low enough, go ahead and rocket or lightning but make sure your towers are clean of their troops because you are using 6 elixir. In overtime, once you send the hog, maybe lightning/rocket their building or tower or tower + troops, and have a swarm of goblins and minions coming at his tower, and they arrow your swarm, that is when you send the next batch in, whether its in the other lane or the same lane, they will have a tough time defending if they already used their counter card because this deck cycles super quick.

Clash Royale's fast, strategic gameplay is well-suited to competitions. We're thrilled that players are already organizing their own tournaments, and we've been watching as many as we can! One big lesson so far is that disparities in card and tower levels can be hard to overcome for even the most skilled players. In order to make tournaments a big part of Clash Royale, our goal is to give players an easy way to level the playing field.

To achieve this, we plan to emphasize the importance of our "Tournament Rules" in the future, which we consider to be the basis for competitive Clash Royale play. This will ensure that skill, timing and placement will always be the deciding factors in competitive matches.

Our philosophy on tournaments is that anyone who plays Clash Royale should be able to participate, and potentially win if they've got the chops. The best of the best will be determined by the quality of the player, not the level of their cards!

We're still working out the bigger picture for how we want to fully emphasize Tournament Rules gameplay, but in the meantime we can say that we'll be adding live spectating to Friendly Battles in the next update! This should really help tournament creators run better and more exciting events! Stay tuned for more on the Tournament Rules topic coming soon.

I start with the hog, princess, or spear goblins for starter chip damage, and can counter almost any push in the game. This deck works extremely well against pekka, baloon, and golem because of the inferno and all of the small troops that attack air, the princess, fireball, and barbs counter spawner decks well, you can always counter freeze a hog freeze deck, and against xbow and morter, there are a lot of good low elixir troops to damage them along with the fire ball.

With this deck try to get an advantage early and then hold out for the rest of the battle. With all of the smaller cards in the deck, the goal is to be able to get an early lead, because you can play a lot more troops. If you reach double elixir and you do not have a good amount of damage on the other towers, than you are probably going to tie or lose unless the opponents are doing a similar deck. You need to be able to get enough of an advantage before double elixir so you can focus on defending against major attacks, as a lot of high elixir decks do very well in double elixir.

I know it's hard, but DON'T BE GREEDY, if you waste too much elixir with a hog freeze push, or don't have a plan to defend against there counters, you will lose. With this deck, if you play it right you can get very high in trophies. As a new level 8, I have played level 9's and tens with level 6 epics. DON'T STRESS, and don't rage. This is a game, it's meant to be fun. If your going to get mad because your high in trophies, it might be best to drop down. When I was level 7, I dropped 400 trophies in 30 minutes because I raged, don't be like me. tip Spawner watch out for spawner decks. If you are facing a lot of them and losing, you might want to switch fire for lightning or archers for dragon, but don't worry, they luckily aren't that common.
