The Rune Giant, a new Epic card in Clash Royale, is unlocked in the Jungle Arena (Arena 9) or via a limited-time in-game offer. This guide explores the Rune Giant's capabilities and presents effective deck strategies.

Clash Royale Rune Giant Overview

The Rune Giant, an Epic card targeting enemy Towers and buildings, boasts 2803 Hitpoints (at tournament level) and medium movement speed. Its damage output (120 to buildings) surpasses that of an Ice Golem but falls short of a Giant's.

However, the Rune Giant's strength lies not in its tankiness, but in its unique Enchant ability. Upon deployment, it enchants two nearby troops, boosting their damage output on every third hit. This buffing capability makes it exceptionally potent in specific deck combinations.

Costing only four elixir, the Rune Giant is easily cycled. Fast-attacking troops like the Dart Goblin maximize its effect, while slower-attacking units can also benefit with strategic deployment. The following clip demonstrates a Hunter, empowered by the Rune Giant's Enchant, swiftly eliminating a Lava Hound: [Insert Video Link Here - replace with actual video link if available].

Unlike the Golem, the Rune Giant isn't a standalone win condition. It excels as a support troop, distracting enemies and absorbing tower damage while supporting other units during pushes.

Best Rune Giant Decks in Clash Royale

Here are some top-performing Rune Giant decks:

• Goblin Giant Cannon Cart
• Battle Ram 3M
• Hog EQ Firecracker

Details on each deck follow:

Goblin Giant Cannon Cart

While Goblin Giant decks often feature Sparky, this variant incorporates the Cannon Cart.

This beatdown deck boasts strong defense against various strategies. The Rune Giant buffs the Cannon Cart and Goblin Giant (including its Spear Goblins), creating potent offensive power. The Elixir Collector fuels sustained pressure, while Lumberjack and Rage provide additional offensive boosts. However, its air defense (Evo Bats) is limited, posing challenges against Lava Hound decks. This deck utilizes the Royal Chef Tower Troop.

Battle Ram 3M

This deck leverages the Three Musketeers with a Rune Giant-centric strategy.

Resembling Pekka Bridge Spam, it uses Bandit, Royal Ghost, and Evo Battle Ram for early-game pressure. Elixir Collector builds an elixir advantage. The Three Musketeers are strategically deployed in Double Elixir. Defense relies on the Rune Giant and Hunter combo, with Evo Zap supporting Battle Ram pushes. This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.

Hog EQ Firecracker

This enhanced Hog Rider deck integrates the Rune Giant effectively.

Gameplay mirrors the standard Hog EQ Firecracker, but the Rune Giant replaces Valkyrie or Mighty Miner. The Rune Giant's buff significantly enhances the Firecracker's damage output. Earthquake provides late-game tower damage. Evo Skeletons offer defensive support. This deck uses the Tower Princess Tower Troop.

The Rune Giant introduces strategic depth to Clash Royale. Its unique buffing mechanism allows for creative deck building. These examples offer starting points; experiment to find your optimal strategy.
