3Guards
Clash Royale card guide
3 elixirEpicTroopSwarm / distraction
Guards are three shielded skeletons that make a cheap defensive card. Their shields protect them from small spells and the first hits they take.
How to play
Use Guards against single-target cards like Prince, Dark Prince, Mini P.E.K.K.A and P.E.K.K.A. Their shields keep them alive against small spells like Zap or The Log. On offense they distract single-target defenders next to a tank.
Tips
- Spread them around a single-target troop to distract it for a long time.
- Watch out for splash melee troops like Valkyrie or Bowler.
- In Lava Hound decks they take care of ground defense.
Strengths
- Shields make them resistant to small spells.
- Distract single-target cards efficiently.
Weaknesses
- Splash melee troops clear them quickly.
- Can't hit air.
