Best Dark Elixir Deck Clash Royale

As Clash Royale enters a new season after its grand Card Evolution update, Supercell has lined up a bunch of exciting weekly events for gamers to play and enjoy. The new weekly event, called Dark Elixir Challenge, features the new Dark Elixir Cave arena, which is the origin of card evolution in Clash Royale.

In this event, players will find rings of dark elixir spawning randomly on the arena. When inside the dark elixir ring, all troops will go into super raged mode, but at the cost of taking extra damage. If this event sounds fun to you, we have shared some great decks tailor-made for Clash Royale’s Dark Elixir challenge.

Best Decks for Clash Royale Dark Elixir Challenge

1) P.E.K.K.A Hog Cycle deck

• Valkyrie
• P.E.K.K.A.
• Hog Rider
• Skeleton Army
• Ice Spirit
• Firecracker
• The Log
• Barbarian Barrel

P.E.K.K.A and Hog Rider are the main cards for this deck. Thanks to the effect of the dark elixir ring, P.E.K.K.A can deal tremendous damage to the enemy’s towers. As P.E.K.K.A already has tremendous health, it can withstand the extra damage inflicted due to dark elixir.

Players can also use the Hog Rider and Valkyrie combo to push towards the enemy’s tower. This deck also features cheap cards like The Log and Ice Spirit to counter the enemy’s defensive troops. While playing this deck, your goal should be to help the Hog Rider reach the enemy’s tower to guarantee the win.

2) Classic Lava Loon deck

• Lava Hound
• Balloon
• Arrows
• Zap
• Inferno Dragon
• Minions
• Barbarians
• Skeleton Dragons

Lava Hound decks are one of the oldest decks in Clash Royale. With events like the Dark Elixir Challenge, Lava Loon decks are overpowered because of the splash damage from Balloon. Under the effect of dark elixir, Balloons can deal massive splash damage to the enemy’s towers. Lava Hound is the main tank of this deck whose goal is to distract the enemy’s cards, while Balloon or Skeleton Dragons safely follow behind the hound.

This deck also has Arrows and Zap for spell control, while Inferno Dragon and Minions can deal with the enemy’s tanky cards. Players can also use Barbarians to deal with the enemy’s ground cards.

3) Mega Knight Miner Zap bait deck

• Mega Knight
• Miner
• Zap
• Spear Goblins
• Goblin Gang
• Bats
• Skeleton Barrel
• Inferno Dragon

This Clash Royale deck features cheap cards like Spear Goblins and Goblin Gang to bait out your enemy’s defensive cards. Once the enemy has used their defensive spells, you can drop a Miner on their tower followed by a Skeleton Barrel to tank for the Miner. Mega Knight and Inferno Dragon are here for defending your own towers, but if needed, it is still a great offensive option.
