How to counter building cards in Clash Royale

Countering building cards in Clash Royale demands astute planning and the ideal mix of soldiers and spells. Buildings are an essential component of the game because they may generate troops, defend against opposing units, and harm your towers. To keep control and get closer to your opponent's towers, you must successfully neutralize these constructions.

Using soldiers that target buildings, utilizing strong spells and splash damage units, and deploying troops with a large damage output are the three primary methods for countering building cards in Clash Royale. When applied properly, each strategy can undermine your opponent's defenses and open the door to victory.

Strategies to counter building cards in Clash Royale

1) Use building-targeting troops

Hog Rider: With the help of spells or more troops to clear the way, the Hog Rider can swiftly approach and demolish building cards in Clash Royale because of its speed and ability to target them directly.

Balloon: This airborne unit delivers enormous damage, but it requires assistance to get rid of anti-air forces or structures that can divert its attention.

Giant: The Giant in Clash Royale is a great option for absorbing damage as it destroys defensive structures, targets buildings, and has a lot of health.

Support: For these troops to target buildings as effectively as possible, they frequently require assistance. For instance, a Balloon can gain from a Lava Hound taking damage or from Minions clearing the way, while the Hog Rider can be used in conjunction with spells in Clash Royale like Zap or Log to eliminate minor defensive troops.
