Top Rune Giant Decks in Clash Royale
The Rune Giant's power lies in its synergy with supporting troops. Remember, it only buffs two at a time, so careful card selection is key.
Deck One: Balanced Powerhouse (Average Elixir: 3.5)
This versatile deck counters a wide range of threats. Guards and the Inferno Dragon neutralize enemy Rune Giants and heavy units, while Firecracker and Arrows handle swarms. For a powerful offensive push, combine the Ram Rider with Rage for increased speed and damage.

| Knight | Three |
Deck Two: Double Giant Assault (Average Elixir: 3.9)
This deck utilizes both the Rune Giant and Goblin Giant for a relentless tower attack. Electro Dragon and Guards defend against opposing giants, while Hunter and Arrows eliminate swarms. The Dart Goblin's synergy with the Rune Giant makes this a particularly effective combination.

Deck Three: X-Bow Support Strategy (Average Elixir: 3.3)
This deck centers around the X-Bow as its primary attacker, supported by Archers, Knight, and Dart Goblin. The Goblin Gang effectively counters heavy units like the Prince, P.E.K.K.A., and Ram Rider. The deck's numerous small troops create a challenging counter-push for opponents. If they target your Archers with Arrows or Log, quickly deploy the Dart Goblin or Goblin Gang to maintain the pressure.
