The Rune Giant, a new Epic card in Clash Royale, shakes up the arena! Unlocked in the Jungle Arena (Arena 9), players can snag one for free via a limited-time shop offer (until January 17th, 2025). After that, it's chests or the shop all the way.
Mastering the Rune Giant means understanding its unique strengths and building decks that leverage them. This guide explores some top-tier Rune Giant decks to help you conquer the battlefield.
Clash Royale Rune Giant Overview
The Rune Giant is an Epic card targeting enemy Towers and defensive buildings. At tournament level, it boasts 2803 Hitpoints and medium movement speed, dealing 120 damage to buildings—more than an Ice Golem, but less than a Giant.
However, its real power lies not in its tankiness, but its unique Enchant effect. Upon deployment, it enchants two nearby troops, boosting their damage output on every third hit. This buffing ability makes it incredibly potent in specific deck combinations.
Costing only four elixir, it cycles easily without draining your resources. Fast-attacking troops like Dart Goblins maximize its effect, while slower units can still benefit with strategic play. The video below showcases a Hunter, empowered by the Rune Giant's Enchant, swiftly eliminating a Lava Hound before it reaches the Tower.
While not a solo win condition like the Golem, the Rune Giant excels as a support troop, distracting enemies and absorbing tower hits while your other units attack.
Best Rune Giant Decks in Clash Royale
These decks showcase the Rune Giant's versatility:
- Goblin Giant Cannon Cart
- Battle Ram 3M
- Hog EQ Firecracker
Details on each deck follow.
Goblin Giant Cannon Cart
While Goblin Giant decks often feature Sparky, this variant utilizes the Cannon Cart alongside the Rune Giant.
This beatdown deck boasts surprisingly strong defense against various strategies. The Rune Giant buffs both the Cannon Cart and Goblin Giant (including the Spear Goblins), creating powerful pushes. The Elixir Collector fuels your offensive capabilities, further enhanced by the Lumberjack and Rage spell. However, its lack of dedicated air defense makes it vulnerable to Lava Hound decks. This deck uses the Royal Chef Tower Troop.
Battle Ram 3M
The Three Musketeers, once meta-defining, find renewed strength with the Rune Giant. This deck plays like a Pekka Bridge Spam variant.
Early game pressure comes from the Bandit, Royal Ghost, and Evo Battle Ram. The Elixir Collector builds an elixir advantage for the late game. The Three Musketeers are reserved for opportune moments. Defense relies on the Rune Giant and Hunter combo, with the Evo Zap supporting Battle Ram pushes. This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
Hog EQ Firecracker
A top-tier Hog Rider deck, enhanced by the Rune Giant.
Gameplay remains similar to standard Hog EQ Firecracker, but the Rune Giant replaces the Valkyrie or Mighty Miner. The Rune Giant's Enchant synergizes incredibly well with the Firecracker, dealing massive damage. The Earthquake provides significant late-game tower damage. Evo Skeletons handle defensive needs. This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.
The Rune Giant adds a strategic layer to Clash Royale. Its unique buffing mechanic opens doors to creative deck combinations. These examples offer a starting point; experiment and refine to discover your perfect Rune Giant strategy.
