Super Welterweight Event Overview
Super cards aren't exactly new to Clash Royale. These special cards are an upgrade over their base units, featuring unique abilities, and are only available during special events. For example, The Super Mini Pekka you'll get to play with in this event can take down any unit or even the tower with just one hit. It also spawns pancakes around it periodically that heal itself or any nearby ally units within a radius.
While Super Mini Pekka made its debut a while ago, this is the first time players have witnessed a Super variant of the Knight. The Super Knight has stats identical to those of the normal version. But when you use him, he spawns a protective shield in a large radius around him that reduces the damage done to his allies down to 1. Similar to the Evo Knight, this shield lasts until the Super Knight starts attacking.
In the Super Welterweight event, the first two slots in your deck are locked in for the Super Knight and the Super Mini Pekka. That leaves you with six slots to fill up and build a complete deck to use for the event.
Best Clash Royale Decks for Super Welterweight Event
Here are the Clash Royale best decks for the Super Welterweight event:
- 2.1 Spirits Cycle
- 3.1 Witch Guards
- Valk 2.9 Cycle
Each Super Welterweight deck must contain both the Super Mini Pekka and the Super Knight.
Here's how to play each of these decks:
2.1 Spirits Cycle
For cycle players who prefer using Hog Riders or other cheap win conditions to keep up the pressure on the enemy tower, the 2.1 Spirits Cycle is the perfect deck to spam in the Super Welterweight Event. Here are the cards you'll need for this deck:
|
Card Name |
Elixir Cost |
|---|---|
|
Skeletons |
1 |
|
Ice Spirit |
1 |
|
Heal Spirit |
1 |
|
Fire Spirit |
1 |
|
Electro Spirit |
1 |
|
Skeleton Army |
3 |
This deck uses cheap troops such as the Skeletons and the four spirits, allowing you to cycle through your deck quickly to get to your Super Cards. You'll want to keep up the pressure as much as possible, forcing your opponents to be on the defensive. Skeleton Army is an excellent counter to the Super Mini Pekka and the Super Knight, so use it to defend against your opponent's pushes.
The trick to winning with the deck is always being on the offensive. Since your average elixir cost is only 2.1, you'll be able to cycle multiple Super Knights and Super Mini Pekkas in your push as you get into the double elixir stage of the game. The Super Mini Pekka is your main win condition, while the Super Knight serves as the support card.
Choose Cannoneer as your tower troop for this deck.
Valk 2.9 Cycle
If you want a deck with more control and favor a calculated play style, the Valk 2.9 Cycle deck will be right up your alley. Here are the cards you'll need for the deck:
|
Card Name |
Elixir Cost |
|---|---|
|
Skeletons |
1 |
|
Ice Spirit |
1 |
|
The Log |
2 |
|
Tombstone |
3 |
|
Skeleton Army |
3 |
|
Valkyrie |
4 |
The average elixir cost of this deck is 2.9, which means it won't play as fast as the 2.1 Cycle we mentioned earlier. But it's still a fast-cycle deck that counters most of the support troops your opponents might use for this challenge. Valkyrie is the star of this deck since it can single-handedly tackle Barbarians, Witch, Musketeers, or any other similar troops that your opponent might place with the Super Knight.
Tombstone and Skeleton Army can keep the Super Mini Pekka distracted. Tombstone is also good against the Super Knight in removing the defensive shield. This deck also uses The Log to eliminate swarm units and clear the way for your Super Mini Pekka.
The Tower Princess is the perfect Tower Troop for this deck.
3.1 Witch Guards
If you want to win the Super Welterweight event easily, this is the perfect deck for the job. It might not be the fastest deck in Clash Royale, but it's cheaper than some of the big Beatdown decks players run with. Here are the cards you'll need for the deck:
|
Card Name |
Elixir Cost |
|---|---|
|
Electro Spirit |
1 |
|
Zap |
2 |
|
Bats |
2 |
|
Skeleton Army |
3 |
|
Guards |
3 |
|
Witch |
5 |
This deck uses some of the best counters in the game against Super Mini Pekka and Super Knight. Super Mini Pekka's biggest strength is that it can one-shot anything. However, with Guards, the Super Mini Pekka must first get rid of the shield. The Witch works the same way as she can keep the Super Mini Pekka distracted with her spawned Skeletons.
Since Super Mini Pekka and Super Knight are ground troops, Bats are a reliable troop to use against them. Skeleton Army is always a good card for any deck in this event, and Zap is a cheap way to quickly get rid of swarm troops. Finally, Electro Spirit helps you cycle through your cards quickly. This is an excellent deck for beginners who want to try out this exciting new Clash Royale event.
We recommend using the Dagger Duchess for your Tower Troop on this deck.
Tips for the Super Welterweight Event in Clash Royale
Before we take our leave, here are a couple of things you should know before you start playing the Super Welterweight event in Clash Royale:
- A quick cycle deck will help you get to your Super cards faster. Although they are not considered win conditions, using Super Mini Pekka and Super Knight properly is the key to winning games in the Super Welterweight event.
- Position your Super Knight at the back of the push to keep the shield active for longer. As long as the Super Knight is not actively attacking an enemy, the shield will remain active, making it harder for the enemy to kill your troops.
- Cards like Skeletons or Bats also get affected by the Super Knight shield, making them invulnerable even though they are technically 1-HP units.
- The Super Mini Pekka can one-shot enemy troops even when they are shielded by Super Knight. However, troops that come with a damage-block shield won't get killed in one blow, making Guards or Dark Knight a good counter against Super Mini Pekka.
- To take down the Super Knight, place units directly on top of him to remove the shield. Valkyrie is an excellent counter to Super Knight for this very reason.
The Super Welterweight event is a fun addition to Clash Royale, allowing players to try new strategies to secure wins. The decks we mentioned and the tips we dropped should serve as a good starting point. But it's also important to try out other card combinations to find a deck that's well-suited to your playstyle.
