From that, you can build a massive counter push that even the inferno tower won’t be able to stop.Īs everyone was probably expecting, the giant is going to make it very high up on our tank rankings, coming in at number four.

However, you can really use the PEKKA on defense, having it be a great counter to giant, golem, and even the hog rider. In fact, the PEKKA is easily countered with the inferno tower, even with a zap. The PEKKA might just be the second most popular tank card right now in the game, but that doesn’t mean it is the second best. Now, we get to the point where these tanks are really at the forefront of the meta. Kiting has become a lot more popular in Clash Royale ever since the ice golem was released. This is one of the best defensive cards in Clash Royale, enabling you to counter multiple 5-6 elixir cards with only 2 elixir. While the ice golem doesn’t really act as a tank except in cycle decks, he is definitely considered a tank due to his high health and low damage. The BR is a very skilled card, and when you do use it effectively, you can get a whole lot of value for only 4 elixir.ĭefinitely the cheapest tank card in Clash Royale, the ice golem is able to pull its weight by being a reliable counter to most cards due to its high health. Some players though can use it to extreme precision, pairing it well in bridge spam decks to completely dominate their opponent. Still, being at the forefront of the one of the best decks in Clash Royale, means that the lava hound has to be one of the better tanks in Clash Royale.Ī recent rise by the battle ram puts it squarely in the #7 slot for tanks! In my personal opinion, I don’t think the battle ram is that good of a card, being easily countered by tombstone or any defense. The real power of the lava hound as a card is the lava pups, which can deal tons of damage when uncountered. The lava hound itself isn’t a great card, dealing almost NO damage to the tower if it manages to get it. LavaLoonion decks are usually at the top of the meta, but that mostly results from the synergy between the lava hound and balloon. He has a decent amount of health too, allowing the graveyard to build up before he falls from too much damage. The bowler can easily take out counter cards like skeleton army and goblin gang, which makes him immune to spam defense. The bowler comes in JUST above the royal giant, mostly because he is more versatile and can defend himself from defensive cards. While it could be argued that the bowler is a support card, he is often played as a tank for graveyard decks, which puts him in the tank category in my book. Still there are only about 12-13 tanks in Clash Royale, so he didn’t beat out too many cards! Still, he can get some major damage in on your tower if you don’t counter effectively, which is why he comes in at the ten spot.

When overleveled, the royal giant would probably rank up in the top 3, but when the royal giant is at tournament standard, it isn’t actually that good.
