Giant Double Prince is a classic attacking deck with a sturdy Giant in front and two powerful princes behind it. While Giant takes the tower's fire, Prince breaks through with his charge and Dark Prince scatters the defense with splash damage.

Game plan
Place Giant at the back of your side and add Prince and Dark Prince behind it as it walks to the bridge. Giant takes the damage while the princes clear defenders and reach the tower.
Mega Minion and Electro Wizard stop air troops on defense and support your pushes. Electro Wizard also resets your opponent's Inferno cards.
Fireball and Zap clear the swarms and support troops your opponent uses against the princes.
Cards and their roles
Tips
- Don't send Prince to the bridge alone; swarms like Skeleton Army stop him easily.
- Starting Giant at the back and placing the princes near the bridge lets your support catch up with Giant.
- Keep Zap or Electro Wizard in the push to deal with your opponent's Inferno card.
- On defense, clear swarms with Dark Prince, and if he survives, turn him into a counterpush.
Strong against
- Against decks with few swarms: the princes reach the tower unanswered.
- Against control decks: Giant plus two princes overwhelms cheap defenses.
Struggles against
- Against swarm-heavy decks (Skeleton Army, Goblin Gang, Guards).
- Against strong tank killers (P.E.K.K.A, Inferno Tower).
How to counter Giant Double Prince
Based on its cards’ roles, these are the deck’s weak spots:
- Only one small spell (Zap): bait it out with another swarm first, then play your main swarm.
- No defensive building: it has to stop building-targeting cards like Hog Rider, Ram Rider and Royal Hogs with troops.
