Clash Royale Tier List: Best cards for October 2024

The best Clash Royale cards can help you get an advantage over your rivals. Here are our picks for must-have cards in October 2024.

With a big roster of cards, creating optimal deck setups can seem daunting in Clash Royale. Thankfully, staying up to date about the top performers can give you an advantage in matches. We’ve got a rundown of the cards you can use from best to worst below.

Clash Royale Tier List

Our Clash Royale tier list has been divided into four separate tiers. Character cards listed in the A Tier should be used as often as possible in play, whereas those in the D Tier should be avoided as much as possible.

• A Tier: Character cards in this tier are undoubtedly the best ones to use in Clash Fest.
• B Tier: Although not the most robust character cards, they can still be devastating in multiple scenarios to help change the course of a match.
• C Tier: While these character cards can be overlooked in most situations, they can still do a decent job in specific scenarios.
• D Tier: These characters should be avoided as much as you can. On top of being reasonably impactless cards, they also waste a notable amount of elixir during battles.

After the recent changes to decks, some of the strongest Clash Royale character cards in the current meta belong to the offensive category. To stand the best chance at taking down your foes, we recommend that you try to make your deck from the A and B-tier lists.

However, having a good balance between offense and defense in your decks is crucial. After all, you can never know your opponent’s equipped character cards before the match begins. Therefore, here are a few decks that you can try out for your subsequent battles:

• Va-Ho-Witch: Fireball, Furnace, Hog Rider, Ice Spirit, Inferno Dragon, Valkyrie, Witch, and Zap.
• Royal Giant Ghost deck: Electro Spirit, Fisherman, Hunter, Lightning Spell, Royal Ghost, Royal Giant, Skeletons, The Log.
• Hog Cycle: Canon, Fireball, Ice Golem, Ice Spirit, Musketeer, Skeletons, The Log, Hog Rider.
