The Clash Royale 4 Card Showdown event is currently live and will conclude on September 30, 2024. The challenge phase for this event will begin on September 27, requiring players to familiarize themselves with the event's unique format. As the name suggests, it limits players to only four cards in their decks instead of the usual right. Due to this, they will need to develop new strategies and carefully select four complementary cards for optimal synergy.

What are the best decks for the 4 Card Showdown event in Clash Royale?

1) MK Firecracker deck

The MK Firecracker deck has an average deployment cost of 3.8 elixirs. Players should use the Dagger Duchess as the Tower troop when running this deck.

The card lineup is as follows:

• Suspicious Bush
• Mega Knight
• Skeleton Army
• Firecracker

This Clash Royale deck thrives on the sneaky nature of the Suspicious Bush, which can efficiently target the opponent's towers. Deployed in front of the Firecracker to absorb damage, the Mega Knight acts as a tank while the Firecracker clears out enemy troops in the 4 Card Showdown event.

The Skeleton Army is excellent for applying pressure, swarming the battlefield with low-health units that can overwhelm opponents.

The Hog FC 3.0 Cycle deck has the lowest average deployment cost of just three elixir. In this setup, Cannoneer serves as the Tower troop. The deck includes:

• Hog Rider
• Knight
• Firecracker
• The Log

The Hog Rider’s high speed makes it ideal for targeting enemy towers in this 4 Card Showdown event. Meanwhile, The Log is perfect for clearing out enemy hordes. Pair the Knight and the Firecracker together—with the former leading the charge—to maintain constant pressure on your opponent.

The third deck in this list also uses the Cannoneer as the Tower troop and has a similar average elixir cost to the first deck. Here are the cards present in this deck:

• Royal Hogs
• Musketeer
• Dark Prince
• The Log

Similar to the Hog Riders, the Royal Hogs have fast movement speed and can be used to target enemy towers. Meanwhile, the Dark Prince and the Musketeer have similar roles as that of the Knight and the Firecracker.

However, they have a higher combined deployment cost of eight elixirs compared to six of Knight and Firecracker. On the other hand, The Log has a similar role of clearing low-health troops or chipping away at high-health units.
