7Mega Knight is a heavy melee troop that deals splash damage when he lands and when he jumps. He can shut down swarms and bridge pressure on his own on defense, then counterpush with Miner and Skeleton Barrel.
Game plan
Use Mega Knight on defense first, not on offense. When enemy troops cross to your side, drop Mega Knight right on them; his landing damage clears swarms instantly.
As a surviving Mega Knight walks to the tower, send Miner behind him or at the tower. Skeleton Barrel can bait out your opponent's small spells.
Bats, Inferno Dragon and Spear Goblins complete your defense against air and tanks. Zap and Fireball are your support spells.

Tips
- Drop Mega Knight right in the middle of your opponent's troops; the landing damage hits them all.
- Don't waste a Mega Knight that survives defense; back him up with Miner or Skeleton Barrel.
- Place Inferno Dragon so it stays locked onto the enemy tank as long as possible.
- Against your opponent's P.E.K.K.A, use Inferno Dragon and Bats instead of Mega Knight.
