Read on to learn few tricks and tips to win this game like a boss-

1. The elixir is important. You need to make well-thought-out trades to gain more elixir which will help you gain the upper hand in battles. It’s good to go for max elixir but if you and your opponent both have max elixir and they attack; you have to use some of the elixir you have to hold an advantage over them. But don’t use up too much. It’s hard to come by. 
2. Elixir also provides a defensive advantage. So, if you don’t attack first, and have a lot of elixir, the chances of your clan winning the battle remain high. 
3. The cards in your deck have attacks and which are assigned for different kinds of damages. Use of tombstone, fireball and wizard card is favourable. You can safeguard yourself from most enemy attack waves if you place the wizard behind your tower. It’s protected there. But keep changing this position because it can be nuked. If opponents learn of your strategy they will attack there immediately. 
4. Use proactive and reactive cards together. They are more useful together. For example, if you have to make a choice, pick barbarian over skeleton, Pekka, Valkyrie, giant, or knight. 
5. Card cycling is extremely important. Hog and freeze go together as a good defence but keep changing the combinations to catch your enemy by surprise. 
6. The last deck should be chosen wisely. Go for the witch or balloon and freeze card together. 
7. It’s always smart to arrange your units to hit at once for maximized damage. This works for attack and defence both. 
8. If you are planning to attack first, make sure you do that when you have strong troops, max elixir, your tank card in front and good damage troops at the back. 
9. Push can be resisted. Use nuke, fireballs, arrows, bombs and baby dragons as successful push strategies.
10. Balloons and giants attack smaller buildings. Distract them with canons or tombstones. The same works for hog riders and golems.

Use these basic strategies and you’ll have a good winning streak in Clash Royale.
