A powerful deck in the popular strategy game Supercell, Clash Royalehe needs a great combination of defense and attack cards to handle enemy attacks. Equally important is keeping your elixir cost balanced, because without it, your entire strategy can fall apart, no matter how many good cards you have. Fortunately, the game offers a huge variety of cards across each potion category.
Clash Royale: The Best 2v2 Decks
Check out this guide to find out the most balanced decks for 2v2 mode in Clash Royale.
Among all the elixir costs, cards with three elixirs offer some surprisingly powerful options that are able to hold their own against cards with higher costs and higher stats. With so many options available, this guide highlights the three best elixir cards that consistently perform well in battles.
Top 3 Elixir Cards in Clash Royale
Knight
Despite being a common unit, the knight is one of the top three elixir cards Clash Royale. It has relatively higher health than other similar options, making it extremely effective against large tanks like PEKKA, Giant and others.
You can summon it in the middle of your side of the arena to distract and fight tower-targeting troops, either ground or air, while your other cards deal ultimate damage. In addition, the Knight can one-shot spells and swarm-type cards such as Skeleton Army and Goblin Barrel.
Dart Goblin
Dart Goblin is another overmatched pick from the three potion pool. It can handle almost any kind of card depending on your strategy. For example, you can use it to destroy building cards within a range of several tiles, such as Goblin Cage, Goblin Hut, Inferno Tower, and more.
Players can use the Clone spell to multiply it, stacking its damage to deal with piles of enemies, regardless of rarity. It is especially strong as a support card when shooting down tanks.
A skeleton army
While Skeleton Barrel and Guards are options to consider, Skeleton Army stands out as the best unit of the three elixirs due to the sheer number of attackers it brings to the battlefield. Once summoned, the units they create can literally eat up the HP of the biggest frontliners.
Although vulnerable to spells like Arrows, Void, and Poison, this card is very impressive when used strategically. It's mainly a defensive card, but you can also use it to draw out enemies or force them to use their spell cards before you deploy your better units.
Cannon
Fans Clash Royale trying to add a cheap card with three elixirs to your next deck can throw Cannon into play because it's too reliable, especially when buffed or evolved. He can easily defeat many common, rare and epic soldiers.
You will need to pair it with other tanks for high HP enemies. Players can also place it in the middle to take out hard hitters while allowing it to deal damage next to the princess tower. Its evolved version can hit up to ten arena areas at once.
Goblin Barrel
To top it off, Goblin Barrel remains a solid three potion card in this deck building game. Once it lands on the tower, two Goblins will appear and start damaging the targeted tower.
Since both Goblins have low HP and can only be taken out in a few hits, it's best to use the card when there are other offensive units on the battlefield that are busying enemies, or setting up towers that are already weak. Overall, it's a good alternative to Fireball.
