5Barbarians
Clash Royale card guide
5 elixirCommonTroopSwarm / distractionTank killerEvolution
Barbarians are five strong melee fighters. They shred tanks and ground pushes quickly and can turn into a dangerous counterpush afterwards.
How to play
Surround ground tanks like Giant, Hog Rider or Royal Giant with Barbarians to take them down fast. Surviving Barbarians reaching the bridge force your opponent to respond. Be careful around splash damage.
Tips
- Spread them around the tank so they all hit at the same time.
- They're worth more when your opponent's Valkyrie, Bowler or Fireball is out of cycle.
- They can't hit air, so keep an air defender nearby.
Strengths
- Melt ground tanks in seconds.
- Make a strong counterpush after defending.
Weaknesses
- Weak against splash like Valkyrie, Bowler and Fireball.
- Useless against air troops.
