Best ways to counter Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale

Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale is the latest troop, featured in Goblin Queen's Journey. This rare card can be unlocked from Goblins 4 (Party Beach). The troop is a couple of Bush Goblins using a bush to conceal themselves from enemies. They ignore foes and directly march toward target buildings. Until they remove the bush to attack a building, the goblins and enemy troops do not interact with each other. Additionally, the goblins become visible when damaged.

This card only takes 2 elixir to spawn. Hence, it is difficult to get rid of it for low elixir. Even most spells can't fully counter this troop, which results in a bad elixir trade.

Here are the best ways to counter Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale.

5 effective ways to counter Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale

Elixir management is necessary while dealing with Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale. You generally don't want to spend more than 2 or 3 elixir when countering a 2-elixir card. Here are some cost-effective ways to deal with the new troop:

1) Spawn Damage Cards

Using spawn damage cards can be an efficient way to counter the Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale. Units like Mega Knight, Ice Wizard, and Elector Wizard deal damage as they are spawned, and will remove the cover of goblins. The troop will then take out the goblins too as they have low health. This will allow players to counter the bush, without any extra investment.

2) Goblin Cage and Other Buildings

Goblin Cage can be used to make the Bush Goblins appear. It will allow other troops or the crown tower to attack them. If the goblins destroy the cage, the Goblin Brawler can take them out. Additionally, the Goblin Brawler can later be utilized in a push or for defending. Other buildings like Inferno Tower and Tombstone can counter Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale for a negative elixir trade.

Moreover, Tesla shouldn't be used to counter this troop. Tesla will just hide and Suspicious Bush will continue to march toward the Crown Tower unless the Tesla is placed next to the Bush.

3) Medium-speed Cards

Suspicious Bush is a slow-moving card, only visible to other troops when it contacts a building. So, time placing a medium-speed card like Valkyrie, knight, or Wizard in a way that reaches the crown tower simultaneously with the Bush. Afterward, try to create a push with the card to justify spending the extra elixir.

You can also place the troop at the tower the moment Suspicious Bush contacts. However, the prior method will help charge more elixir accordingly.

4) Low-Cost Spells

Low-cost spells, mainly snowball, zap, and log, can also remove the bush. However, the Bush Goblins will still need to be countered. If you wish to counter the Suspicious Bush this way, use the spell before it crosses the bridge. Otherwise, the goblins will reach the crown tower.

Void is the only spell that can completely deal with Suspicious Bush, without any extra investment.

5) Area Damage Troops

If the opponent uses Suspicious Bush with other troops, you can use a card that does area damage. This will remove the bush and make the goblins vulnerable to damage. Troops and Spells like Arrows, Zap, Wizard, Valkyrie, and Royal Ghost can be viable options. The most affordable way to accomplish this is the Fire Spirit, which costs 1 elixir.
