Best Clash Royale decks to get to Ultimate Champion
Having trouble getting to Ultimate Champion? Here are the best Clash Royale games you can use right now to get to the top of the leaderboard.
Clash Royale: Goblin Queen's Journey Overview
Goblin Queen's Journey added Clash Royale in July 2024 for players who are on Arena 12 or higher. You can switch to this mode by clicking the Game Modes button to the right of the Battle button in the main menu and selecting Goblin Queen's Journey.
In this game mode, the King Tower is replaced with a unique Goblin Queen Tower. The Goblin Queen Tower will be the same level as your main King Tower. You also get a new, upgradeable Tower Troop called Baby Goblins.
Goblin Queen Tower has a unique effect in the game. When you place a spell card on the field, a green bar begins to fill. When fully filled, a swarm of Baby Goblins is thrown towards your opponent's side of the arena and begins attacking the enemy troops. Players can take advantage of this unique ability to overwhelm the opponent and secure victory in the match.
You cannot change the Tower Troop in the Goblin Queen's Journey game mode.
Best Clash Royale Decks for Goblin Queen's Journey
Here are the top three decks for Goblin Queen's Journey in Clash Royale:
- Gob Giant Sparky Demolisher
- Goblin Drill Poison Cycle
- Log Bait Goblin Stein
You can find more information about these decks below:
Gob Giant Sparky Demolisher
Goblin Giant is one of the most popular win conditions in Goblin Queen's Journey because of how well it pairs with certain cards. It allows you to quickly build up your Goblin Queen's ability so that you can overwhelm your enemies as soon as the game enters the double elixir stage.
Here are the cards you need for the game:
Short name |
Elixir cost |
---|---|
Evo Zap |
2 |
Evo Goblin Giant |
6 |
Spear Goblins |
2 |
Rage |
2 |
The goblin gang |
3 |
Goblin Demolisher |
4 |
Goblin machine |
5 |
Sparky |
6 |
Evo Goblin Giant is a no-brainer when playing this deck. Evo itself is not only strong, but it also allows you to quickly build up the ability bar as you will spawn goblins as soon as your Goblin Giant's HP drops below half. It's a beefy beatdown win condition that works well in this game mode.
The main support squad for your push is Sparky and the Goblin Machine. Yes, it's a bit of a drain on your elixir bar, but in the double elixir stage of the game you should be able to remove it without any problems. Cast a Rage spell as soon as your Goblin Giant and Sparky cross the bridge, and watch your opponent rush and try to defend against it.
For defense, you have plenty of excellent cards as well. Both Goblin Gang and Spear Goblins have low elixir costs and can defend against almost anything your opponent whips up. Evo Zap helps you play against Log Bait decks. Finally, Goblin Demolisher and Goblin Machine can defend against swarms and melee troops.
If you don't have the spell machine unlocked, consider using the spell cage in play for some extra defense.
Goblin Drill Poison Cycle
For fans of fast cycle decks, Goblin Drill Poison Cycle is a must-try for this game mode. You'll have to switch up some cards in the deck to make it more suitable for Goblin Queen's Journey, but you won't notice too much of a difference in playstyle.
Here are the cards you need for the game:
Short name |
Elixir cost |
---|---|
Evo Goblin Drill |
4 |
Evo Goblin Cage |
4 |
Suspicious Bush |
2 |
The log |
2 |
The goblin gang |
3 |
Poison |
4 |
Goblin Demolisher |
4 |
The Goblin Machien |
5 |
The devastating combination of Evo Goblin Drill and Poison remains the main focus of this deck. You need to cycle your cards quickly to get as many Evo Goblin Drills on your opponent's tower as possible. Also, make sure you lay down the Poison to take out any low HP units your opponent is using on defense.
Instead of going with Wall Breakers, you'll be using Suspicious Bush to apply secondary pressure to your opponent. The idea is the same: use it to draw out their defensive troops and leave your Goblin Drill free to wreak havoc on your opponent's towers. You'll be using the Evo Goblin Cage for your defensive build, which isn't as good as the Inferno Tower, but it gets the job done.
Goblin Demolisher and Goblin Gang are your main defensive troops and bring out the Goblin Machine when you have a big tank like Golem going down the lane towards your tower. You can replace it with a Valkyrie if you want, but the Goblin Machine will help you fill up the ability bar faster.
Goblinstein logbait
It's been a while since Log Bait has been out of the meta, at least in the top tiers, but it's as strong as ever in Goblin Queen's Journey. This deck allows you to max out the ability in a flash. In addition to that, players can also throw in the new free champion Goblinstein, as it fits the deck perfectly.
Here are the cards you need for the game:
Short name |
Elixir cost |
---|---|
Evo Ice Spirit |
1 |
Evo Goblin Barrel |
3 |
Suspicious Bush |
2 |
Goblins |
2 |
The log |
2 |
Dart Goblin |
3 |
Princess |
3 |
Goblin Stone |
5 |
This deck has an average elixir cost of 2.6, which means it's already fast. On top of that, you also have a champion in the deck to activate the three card cycle. This means that when Goblinstein is deployed, you'll be able to cycle through all your cards in the deck in a flash and max out your ability bar before you know it.
But this deck has a major weakness. Since you don't have a rocket in the deck like most Log Bait decks, you have to rely on successful plays with Evo Goblin Barrel to damage the tower. However, since your deck is extremely fast, it shouldn't be too difficult to cycle out of your opponent's arrows or log.
Play aggressively from the start of the game and start cycling your Suspicious Bush, Goblin Barrel and Princess to chip damage the opponent's tower. Use Dart Goblin And Goblinstein for defense. Goblins in the deck can also help you DPS down any big tanks your opponents might use.
You can apply two-lane pressure by placing Goblinstein in the center of your arena.
Clash Royale always finds new ways to keep its players engaged, and that's one of the best things about this game. As Goblin Queen's Journey draws to a close, we're excited to see what else the developers have in store for us. These decks, with a bit of your personal touch, should help you grab any rewards you've yet to claim from this game mode.
