5Giant
Clash Royale card guide
5 elixirRareTroopWin conditionHeavy tankHero
Giant is a classic tank and win condition that only targets buildings. His big health pool buys time for support troops behind him while he deals steady damage to the tower.
How to play
Usually send Giant from your side of the arena, behind the tower or near the bridge, and add support like Musketeer, Mini P.E.K.K.A or Prince behind him. While Giant soaks the damage, the support troops clear the defense. If your opponent places a building, finish it with your support.
Tips
- Don't send Giant alone; without support he's easy to defend with cheap cards.
- If your opponent runs Inferno Tower, keep a reset card like Zap or Electro Spirit ready.
- Starting a Giant push from the back gives you time to add more support.
Strengths
- A sturdy, predictable win condition.
- Protects support troops and forms the base of big pushes.
Weaknesses
- Struggles against tank killers like Inferno Tower, Mini P.E.K.K.A and P.E.K.K.A.
- Low damage on his own; unsupported pushes go nowhere.
