Frequently asked questions

What is the current Clash Royale meta?

Giant, Hog Rider, Giant Skeleton decks lead it, and Giant Skeleton Ram 3.6 Beatdown is the single most played deck (2.8% of battles).

Is the most used deck the best deck?

Not always. Popular decks are reliable picks, but the best-decks list ranks by win rate, which can favour less common decks that counter the meta.

Whose games are counted?

We count ranked (Path of Legends) battles from the top 1,000 Path of Legends players over the last 14 days. It’s a large sample of strong players, not every game played worldwide.
