Best tips to counter the Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale

As previously mentioned, you can play the Suspicious Bush card in Clash Royale for two elixir. This card moves painfully slow and if you play it at the back near your King Tower, it takes a really long time to reach your enemy's tower.

All the while, the Suspicious Bush will be invisible to any troops played with the opponent. It is susceptible to spells and splash damage dealt by enemy troops. Once it reaches the enemy's tower, it breaks into two Goblins and does a lot of damage.

Since this mechanic is new to the game, a lot of players are having a hard time trying to counter the Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale. Your immediate instinct upon seeing the card near your tower might be to play some troop to take it out. However, the Suspicious Bush will slide under the radar of any troop played to counter it.

So, you can do the following things to properly counter the Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale:

Play defensive buildings

The Suspicious Bush is a building-targeting troop. So, if you play a defensive building like a Tesla, Cannon, Bomb Tower, or Goblin Cage, you can counter it. The troop will not reach your tower resulting in the Goblins doing a truckload of damage on your tower.

Your opponent might have a spell like the Void or Fireball for your building, So, try and bait out the spells from your enemy's hand before setting up the building to counter the Suspicious Bush in Clash Royale.

Counter the Suspicious Bush using small spells

This is by far the best way to deal with this card in the game. Using spells like the Log, Zap, Barbarian Barrel, and Void, you can easily break open the Suspicious Bush. Dealing with the Goblins that pop out of it is no tough task.

Using splash damage units

Players often play the Suspicious Bush behind tanky units like the Knight, Ice Golem, or bigger cards like the Giant. If you can place a Valkyrie in between the tanks and Suspicious Bush, the area damage from her axe swings can break the Suspicious Bush.

The same can be done with other splash damage-dealing cards like the Wizard, Dark Prince, Witch, and more.
