The holiday season is in full swing within Supercell's Clash Royale, and following the It’s Raining Gifts event, the new Holiday Feast event kicked off on December 23 and will continue for seven days. As with the previous event, you'll need an 8-card deck to participate. Today, we're diving into some of the top decks you can use to dominate in Clash Royale's Holiday Feast event.
The Holiday Feast event introduces a unique twist to Clash Royale gameplay. Once the match begins, a giant pancake appears in the arena's center. The first card to 'eat' the pancake gains a level boost. For example, if your Minions consume the pancake, they advance from level 11 to level 12. Since all cards start at level 11 in the event, securing the pancake is crucial. We advise using a robust card to tackle the pancake whenever possible, as it will respawn periodically.
In our testing across 17 Holiday Feast matches, this deck only faltered twice. P.E.K.K.A and Goblin Giant are the powerhouses here. The Goblin Giant charges directly at the enemy towers, while P.E.K.K.A excels at neutralizing heavy hitters like Mega Knight, Giant, and Prince. Complement these with support cards like Firecracker, Fisherman, Goblin Gang, and Minions for optimal performance.
| Card | Elixir |
|---|---|
| Firecracker | 3 |
| Rage | 2 |
| Goblin Gang | 3 |
| Minions | 3 |
| Goblin Giant | 6 |
| P.E.K.K.A | 7 |
| Arrows | 3 |
| Fisherman | 3 |
This deck is the most elixir-efficient on our list, with an average cost of just 3.4. It's packed with swarm cards such as Goblins, Goblin Gang, and Bats, alongside the formidable Royal Recruits. With Valkyrie leading the defense, this deck offers a robust strategy against multiple threats.
| Card | Elixir |
|---|---|
| Archers | 3 |
| Valkyrie | 4 |
| Royal Recruits | 7 |
| Fisherman | 3 |
| Goblins | 2 |
| Goblin Gang | 3 |
| Arrows | 3 |
| Bats | 2 |
A personal favorite in Clash Royale, this deck leverages the synergy between Hunter and Giant Skeleton to create a formidable push. The Miner serves as a distraction, allowing the Balloon to deal significant damage to the opponent's tower.
| Card | Elixir |
|---|---|
| Miner | 3 |
| Minions | 3 |
| Fisherman | 3 |
| Hunter | 4 |
| Goblin Gang | 3 |
| Snowball | 2 |
| Giant Skeleton | 6 |
| Balloon | 5 |
