5 Best Epic Cards for the Royal Tournament in Clash Royale

5) Skeleton Army

Cost: 3 Elixir

Damage: 108

Hitpoints: 108

Arena 2 unlocks the Skeleton Army card, which is one of the most popular swarm cards in Clash Royale. Skeletons have very low hitpoints and deal relatively less damage. However, since 15 single-target skeletons are striking at the same time, they can effectively inflict more damage every second. Due to their large numbers and overall high DPS, the Skeleton Army is particularly effective against single target troop cards like Pekka, Mini Pekka, and Prince.

4) Prince

Cost: 5 Elixir

Damage: 519

Hitpoints: 2544

When charged, this is another devastating Epic-rarity card that delivers double the damage. With support cards like Wizard and Valkyrie, it works best as a counter-attacking unit. While charging, his increased speed and damage helps him stop or stall the enemy's ground push and destroy the enemy's Crown Towers. It can also be used as a tank card in a battle.

3) Goblin Barrel

Cost: 3 Elixir

Damage: 289

Hitpoints: 955

Goblin Barrel is a spell card that deals high damage to opponent towers. When Goblin Barrel is deployed, it is thrown at the target present on the battlefield and shatters on the ground upon impact, releasing three Goblins who deal significant damage to the target. Players often tend to target enemy towers with this card. Players should check to see if their opponents have any cards like arrows or Log before deploying Goblin Barrel, and if they do, let them use such cards first. These cards counter Goblin Barrel easily. Hence, players should ensure that these cards are out of rotation before they choose to use the Goblin Barrel.

2) Pekka

Cost: 7 Elixir

Damage: 1081

Hitpoints: 4982

Pekka is, without a doubt, one of the most threatening Epic cards in Clash Royale, and with the right support card, it can become even more powerful. Since it is a melee ground unit with high damage and hitpoints, it is ideal for use as a tank. It is a fantastic card for the Royal Tournament since it can deal a lot of damage while tanking a lot of hitpoints, allowing additional friendly cards to attack.

Damage: 178

Hitpoints: 1110

Players can unlock the Witch once they reach Arena 5. She is an anti-air troop with high hitpoints and damage. The Witch summons four skeleton troops every seven seconds while inflicting damage on to opposing troops and towers. This anti-air card should be used in conjunction with high-hitpoint cards like Dark Prince, Golem, and Pekka.
