The best Clash Royale decks for Arena 4, 5 and 6
So you’ve made your way through Arena One, Two and Three, but now the decks that got you through the early stage are starting to dry up. These players are wise to the hut spam, or giant pushes and have decks designed to counter them. In other words, you're stuck in the low levels of arena four until you come up with some fresh new deck ideas.
But when you go to build that deck you notice loads of new cards that you previously ignored while crushing people with your all-in balloon deck – because if you’re winning who needs to look at other options? Some of these cards look awesome, but getting them to synergise with other cards, in a way that's difficult to counter, is no easy task and at this level you can’t really have a deck that's reliant on just one style of play. Going all in with one push strat just isn’t going to work often enough to grind out those wins.
Fortunately for you, we’ve already dealt with all of those pesky foes in arena four, five and six and have lived to tell the tale. It took quite a bit of work, but eventually we made it out alive with a few great decks to share with you. Bear in mind that the meta is always changing, so these decks may need a little tinkering with, but for the most part these will do you right.

The modified bait deck: Hog Rider, Goblin Barrel, Knight, Minions, Skeleton Army, Inferno Tower, Rocket, Zap
If you’ve played Clash Royale at any level over the last few months you’ll probably have come across some variation of this deck, as everyone seems to be using it. The trick is to do so with finesse. Typically, it’s seen at a slightly higher level with Princesses and Goblin Gangs allowing it to really excel, but with those cards being unavailable to most in the lower arenas, some modification is needed.
The ideal way of playing this is to figure out what spell cards (Arrows, Zap, Rocket and so on) your opponent is using early on, and then try to bait it out.
While negative elixir trades are never ideal, for this deck dropping a Skeleton Army or Minions to try and bait out a spell such as Arrows is what you want to do. Then once the spell is down you send over a Goblin Barrel, onto your opponent’s tower and watch the damage come in. When time runs low you should be able to send out a Rocket for the win.
The Inferno Tower and Zap should be all you need to hold off any pushes and most of the troops here are solid at dealing with most threats you'll see at this level. Make sure to use the Minions if you come up against a Balloon deck, as your flying damage is limited. If you have The Log then that’s a great addition to this in place of Zap.
The Giant Beatdown: Giant, Witch, Musketeer, Mini P.E.K.K.A., Minions, Tombstone, Arrows Rocket
The general idea here is a simple Giant push strat, with the Witch and Musketeer for back-up, as the Witch can deal splash damage to large crowds while the Musketeer has pretty high single-target damage. Set your Giant going from the back of your half and you should have enough elixir to have all three on the field, but make sure you only go all in when your opponent is struggling.
Once you master the timings for this three-character push, then you can take it up a level and try to time the push with the expiry of your Tombstone. If you get it right then you can have all three big-value cards and some extra skeletons around for the push. It takes a bit of time to master, but becomes difficult to stop.
Defence is very limited here, so sometimes dropping the Tombstone in the other lane to slow down a counter push is a solid idea. However that’s fairly easy to counter and better players certainly will. This is certainly a deck for Arena Four and for a while in Five, but once you hit Arena Six then maybe look for an alternative as we struggled to make this work there.
