The Rune Giant, a new Epic card in Clash Royale, shakes up the arena! Unlocked in the Jungle Arena (Arena 9), players can even snag one for free from the shop until January 17th, 2025. After that date, it's back to chests and the in-game shop for this powerful addition.

Mastering the Rune Giant isn't just about unlocking it; it's about understanding its unique strengths and building decks that leverage its abilities. This guide highlights some top-tier Rune Giant decks to help you dominate the battlefield.

Clash Royale Rune Giant Overview

The Rune Giant, an Epic card, targets enemy Towers and defensive buildings. At tournament level, it boasts 2803 Hitpoints and medium movement speed, dealing 120 damage to buildings—more than an Ice Golem, but less than a Giant.

However, the Rune Giant's true power lies not in its tankiness, but in its unique Enchant effect. Upon deployment, it enchants the two nearest troops, boosting their damage output on every third hit. This buffing ability makes it incredibly potent in specific deck combinations.

Costing only four elixir, the Rune Giant is easily cycled, allowing for frequent deployment without draining your elixir. Fast-attacking troops like Dart Goblins maximize the Enchant effect, while slower troops can still benefit with strategic timing.

While not a solo win condition like the Golem, the Rune Giant excels as a support troop, distracting enemies and absorbing tower hits while your other units deal damage.
