The collectible card tower defense game Clash Royale sees players fight through a series of Arenas, which opens up new cards to collect and use in your battles. You enter each fight with a deck of eight cards, which translate to troops and spells that you’ll use on the battlefield to defeat your opponent. Here, we’ll discuss the best Arena 4 decks in Clash Royale.
We’ve given you a variety of options depending on your play style. Arena 4 introduces you to PEKKA’s Playhouse, which includes the following cards: Miner, Skeleton Dragon, Fire Spirit, Inferno Tower, Wizard, Giant Skeleton, and PEKKA. So, while you may not have some of these cards, they are now accessible to you.
