Monk
Powerful against ranged damage dealers
- Hero Elixir Cost: 5
- Skill Elixir Cost: 1
Released alongside Phoenix, Monk is a relatively tanky champion in royal shockand his ability makes him even more difficult to deal with for a limited time.
When Monk activates his ability, he gains an additional shield that allows him to deal only 20% melee damage. However, the important part of the ability is that Monk returns every projectile he aims at his shooter, whether it’s the crown tower or a troop. While the ability is active, Monk will not move and will not deal any damage.
While the ability is unique and creative, it is usually effective when the opponent has already generated a ranged damage dealer. And even if they do it once, they will learn the pattern and avoid deploying ranged troops when Monk is on the battlefield.

Powerful miner
Strong against tank units
- Hero Elixir Cost: 4
- Skill Elixir Cost: 1
When Mighty Miner was announced, most royal shock Fans believed it would be the new meta, regarding how powerful Miner is. That being said, Mighty Miner was never considered a must-have card in the game, considering how easily it can be countered.

Best for countering spam units

Skeleton King is one of the three original champions in royal shockand has been fairly balanced since launch after receiving small nerfs and buffs several times. Skeleton King can easily deal with spam troops on the ground. Any unit you kill will become a ghost to fill your skill bar.

The best Clash Royale decks to reach the definitive champion
Are you having trouble reaching Ultimate Champion? Here are the best Clash Royale decks you can use right now to get to the top of the leaderboard.
When you deploy this card, Goblinstein and Doctor appear at the same time. Goblinstein only targets structures, while Doctor will respond to any unit. There is an antenna connected to Goblinstein, and when the ability is activated, a surge of electricity is ignited between the antenna and the Doctor, damaging anyone around him and almost instantly killing any air or ground spam units. Even if Goblinstein dies, the antenna will fall to the ground, still allowing the surge to activate.
If Goblinstein is deployed right behind the King’s Tower, the Doctor and Goblinstein will move into separate lanes. This allows for more complex strategies, as the Surge will span a longer range.
Goblinstein can be used as a tank distraction unit while other troops try to damage the crown tower. Or you can be the main runner while getting support from cards like Firecracker, Mini Pekka, or Prince.

archer queen
Best Support Champion
- Hero Elixir Cost: 5
- Skill Elixir Cost: 1
The best way to benefit from Archer Queen is to hide her behind a number of advancing troops. In other words, it is a great support unit, but has a small amount of hit points.
Archer Queen’s main ability is invisibility along with powerful shots. When activated, he becomes invisible for 3.5 seconds and each shot deals 180% more damage. This is an excessive amount of damage that can melt away a large portion of a crown tower’s health.

While it is not used frequently now compared to its release days. Golden Knight remains a fairly balanced Champion in royal shock. His ability is notable for crowd control, especially when activated in the opponent’s half of the battlefield.
