How to get 12 wins in the A Royal Defence Challenge in Clash Royale

The "A Royal Defence Challenge" is live in Clash Royale and you are guaranteed to receive an exclusive banner upon getting 12 wins. You must do this without incurring three losses. If you lose three times, you can restart from your last won battle after paying 100 gems. This condition does not exist for Pass Royale holders as they can have unlimited free restores in all Clash Royale challenges.

Getting 12 wins in a Clash Royale challenge is not an easy task. Especially when it is draft-based like the "A Royal Defence Challenge". Draft-based game modes do not rely entirely on skills and your understanding of the game.

The eight cards needed for a deck will be handed out to you by the game and you need to select the best cards from the draft. Luck plays an important role and often you will fall just short of 12 wins due to luck not playing in your favor.

In this article, we will walk you through everything you need to know to get 12 wins in the "A Royal Defence" challenge in Clash Royale.

As mentioned previously, getting 12 wins in the "A Royal Defence" challenge is not going to be easy if luck isn't in your favor. Each match in this particular challenge is draft-based. Once you start a match, you will need to choose all eight cards for your deck, and for each card, you will be given three options to choose from.

While doing so, you can see the cards that your opponent must choose from. However, you will not see the selection they make. So, you must make your drafts wisely, keeping in mind what kind of deck the enemy might come up with.

While selecting the cards for your deck, you should try to keep the following types of units:

• A win condition: This usually refers to cards like the Hog Rider, Giant, Electro Giant, Goblin Giant, and more. You may choose the Xbow but it can be hard to get a connection since Xbow needs particular support cards to be efficient.
• Support units: If you have a Hog Rider, you should try and pick cards like the Musketeer, Valkyrie, and Knight. For beat down decks, having support units like Wizard, Witch, Mother Witch, Electro Dragon, Battle Healer, and more is recommended.
• Buildings: You should have one building in your deck to distract units like the Hog Rider, Royal Hogs, and other similar tower-targeting units.
• Big spell: A big spell refers to those that do a lot of damage upon impact or over time. So, you should draft Fireball, Poison, Lighting, Rocket, and other similar big spells. Pick only one as you don't want to make your deck too heavy. However, if the situation calls for it, you may draft multiple big spells.
• Small spell: Cards like the Zap, Log, Barbarian Barrel, Giant Snowball, and other similar spells are crucial to deal with the bait cards of your opponent.

Besides luck, getting 12 wins in the "A Royal Defence" challenge in Clash Royale will greatly rely on your ability to draft good cards and make a strong deck.
