Three of the best decks that run Musketeer in Clash Royale

The Musketeer in Clash Royale is a versatile support card, making her viable for many different decks.

1) Hog 2.6 Cycle

• Evolved Skeletons (1 elixir)
• Evolved Ice Spirit (1 elixir)
• Hog Rider (4 elixir)
• Musketeer (4 elixir)
• Fire Ball (4 elixir)
• Ice Golem (2 elixir)
• The Log (2 elixir)
• Cannon (3 elixir)

Hog 2.6 Cycle is one of the oldest decks in the game. The deck uses Hog Rider for dealing tower damage. Additionally, cheap cards like Skeletons, Ice Spirit, Ice Golem, and the Log help cycle back to the Hog Rider.

For defense, we use Ice Golem, Cannon, and Hog Rider as cover for the Musketeer while she attacks the enemy troops. Furthermore, Skeletons and the Ice Spirit can also be used as distractions.

• Evolved Skeletons (1 elixir)
• Balloon (5 elixir)
• Miner (3 elixir)
• Musketeer (4 elixir)
• Ice Golem (2 elixir)
• Barbarian Barrell (2 elixir)
• Snowball (2 elixir)
• Bomber Tower (4 elixir)

This is also a cycle deck and has an average elixir cost of 2.9. It has the Balloon and the Miner as the win conditions. Additionally, the Barbarian Barrel and Snowball spells can help the Balloon reach the crown tower if it struggles against swarms.

The main defenders of the deck are the Bomb Tower, the Ice Golem, and the Musketeer. Furthermore, the Ice Golem can act as a tank for the Balloon during attack pushes. The death damage Ice Golem can also clear out swarms.

3) X-Bow Seige

• X-Bow (7 elixir)
• Knight (3 elixir)
• Skeletons (1 elixir)
• Musketeer (4 elixir)
• Ice Spirit (1 elixir)
• Fire Spirit (1 elixir)
• The Log (2 elixir)
• Elixir Pump (6 elixr)

In this X-Bow siege deck, you deploy buildings on your side of the arena that target the opponent's crown tower. Additionally, most cards in the deck are cheap, returning the X-Bow to your hand faster.

The Knight will serve as the main tank of the deck, and the Musketeer will take cover behind him to deal damage. Furthermore, the X-Bow is an expensive card that costs 7 elixirs to deploy. Therefore, the Elixir Pump will help produce the resource to balance it out.
