How to win with Log Bait against Royal Giant

General strategy for these deck types, written by hand. The win rates on this page are measured; this advice isn’t.

Make the opponent spend small spells on your swarm cards, then land Goblin Barrel once their answer is gone, and finish with Rocket in double elixir.

Royal Giant only hits buildings, so swarm it or use high-damage troops close in rather than relying on tower damage.

Defend first, then counter-push the opposite lane while their elixir is spent on the tank.
