Clash Royale tier list: Ranking every card in season 46 [May 2023]

Spells have always been polarizing in this game. Losing because your opponent did nothing but spam spells cards to your tower can be annoying, to put it lightly. Throughout the game's history, spells' tower damage has been nerfed significantly. And some spells like earthquake needed a separate nerf, and they're still strong in the game.

Still, they're part of the game, so upgrading the best spells will help you a long way on battles in the arena. Here is a Clash Royale tier list of best spell cards!

S Rank Spells

• Eathquake
• Fireball
• Poison
• The Log
• Tornado

A Rank Spells

• Zap
• Giant Snowball
• Barbarian Barrel
• Arrows
• Royal Delivery
• Rocket

B Rank Spells

• Lightning
• Freeze

C Rank Spells

• Rage
• Clone

D Rank Spells

• Mirror

Coming into the latest update, the game will now feature Champions - we've already covered that, but if you're curious about their standing and which ones are the best, this list should give you an idea.

Golden Knight - A Rank

This is the starter Champion you'll own, so it probably won't be the absolute best. Still, he should be pretty fun to add into some specific teams.

Archer Queen - S Rank

Since the Archer Queen can turn invisible, she can deliver an element of surprise to the enemy. She can also be used strategically to decoy the opponents into attacking the towers (when she turns invisible the enemy troops automatically target the towers) and thus lose aggro, and possibly sneak onto the opponent's territory.

Skeleton King - S+ Rank

Thus far, the Skeleton King seems extremely powerful given his ability to summon a mini-army of skeletons to fight for him. While he is not extremely tanky as a unit, he can be a force to be reckoned with if given a proper tank unit in his deck as well as some more damage troops.

Mighty Miner - S Rank

The Mighty Miner looks like a champion that can be extremely useful against high HP enemies, thanks to his damage over time abilities.

Monk - S+ Rank

The Monk is a champion who can push back enemies and deal quite a large amount of damage. He can protect allies with a barrier and reduce incoming damage from all sources.

Talking about win conditions can be confusing, especially because players don’t often agree on what a win condition is. However, for simplicity’s sake, we’ll rank them based on what we think and what Royale API considers a win condition. These Win Conditions are sorted in a tier list from the best to worst!

S Rank Win Conditions

• Terry Super Champion Hog Rider
• Santa Hog Rider
• Balloon
• Super Magic Archer
• Super Ice Golem
• Hog Rider
• Royal Giant
• Elixir Golem

A Rank Win Conditions

• Goblin Barrel
• Ram Rider
• Sparky
• Magic Archer

B Rank Win Conditions

• Giant

C Rank Win Conditions

• Battle Ram
• Royal Ghost
• Ice Wizard
• Mortar
• Skeleton Barrel
• X-Bow
• Golem

D Rank Win Conditions

• Three Musketeers
• Lava Hound
• Electro Giant
• Wall Breakers
• Miner
• Graveyard
• Goblin Giant

One thing’s for sure. If you don’t have anything to battle against them, you’re going to lose. Whether it is the always viable Baby Dragon or the sometimes annoying bats, you need to have something in your Deck to counter these air cards.

S Rank Air Troops

• Bats
• Minion Horde
• Phoenix
• Baby Dragon

A Rank Air Troops

• Skeleton Dragons

B Rank Air Troops

• Minions

C Rank Air Troops

• Inferno Dragon
• Mega Minion

D Rank Air Troops

• Electro Dragon
• Flying Machine

There are many types of buildings in the game, and some of them are bad for the sake of the game. Others are in desperate need of attention from Supercell - I’m looking at you, Cannon. Anyway, here is a Clash Royale tier list of the best buildings in the game.

• Furnace
• Barbarian Launcher
• Party Hut

A Rank Buildings

• Inferno Tower

B Rank Buildings

• Tesla
• Mortar
