In roleplay games like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, you need a set of stats to work upon to build yourself up. For example, in Cyberpunk 2077, there are three different personalities and a set of traits that you have to choose from. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and you have to be the one to choose which one should be your character. In other games that fall into, for example in competitive shooters, you could either be an entry fragger, a sniper, a support, or an IGL, and you have to make that choice by yourself about which thing you could leave behind.
In an auto battler, you don’t have that choice, for example, in Clash Royale. The only choice you have is to pick a card, and that’s it! How that card performs in a match is not in your control. You can build your deck, and how that deck performs is not in your control. Now, in this blog, we are going to talk about the best decks for each arena in Clash Royale, so if you’re new to the game or someone who’s looking for some fresh ideas, this blog will help you out.

Conclusion:
So that’s it for this blog. I haven’t added the last 4 arenas and their decks because there are so many nuances at that stage of the game, there’s no definite best deck at that stage. Also, players are way more experienced there, so you need to make your deck on the go rather than going with a pre-built deck. The decks I have given have a track record of being really good or the best in their strengths. So give them a try and see the results for yourself.
