The introduction of heroes in Clash Royale brought a fresh and new twist to the game. These troops are so much more powerful than their base versions, and the activatable abilities add an extra layer of strategy to the already complicated game. Hero Giant is on the same boat, as the troops can potentially take your deck to the next level with his tankiness and strength, especially when paired with these decks.

Dark Prince & Hero Giant deck
Dark Prince
Elixir Collector
Hero Giant
Heal Spirit
Mini P.E.K.K.A
Rage
Witch
Zap
This deck utilizes the Hero Giant as a tank and the other troops for splash and swarms. It’s a hybrid deck that allows players to defend with Witch and Dark Prince, then counter using the Hero Giant. Dark Prince and Witch give good AoE damage as well as skeletons to go behind the Giant, while the Mini P.E.K.K.A can deal heavy damage.
A common strategy is to deploy the Hero Giant far back so that the player gets enough elixir to deploy more troops and spells by the time it reaches the bridge. Heal Spirit and Elixir Collector allow players to sustain a big push, and Zap is awesome when needing to take out enemy swarms, including skeletons and minions.
Although the deck is versatile with its ability to change from strong defense to a hard push, opponents can out-cycle it by faster decks due to its 3.6 average elixir cost. This is one of the most popular Hero Giant decks in the game, but the downside is that there isn’t much room for flexibility. Fortunately, you can always buy Clash Royale gems to get any units you may be missing.
Hero Giant & Sparky Horde Deck
Arrows
Hero Giant
Mini P.E.K.K.A
Minion Horde
Minions
Skeleton Army
Sparky
Zap
The deck works around controlling the map with swarms, Hero Giant, and Sparky. It’s a defensive deck that stops enemy attacks with swarms and Sparky, then counters with a Hero Giant alongside other troops. It fills the board with low-cost troops like Minion Horde and Skeleton Army to distract enemy players. Mini P.E.K.K.A can be used to damage buildings and troops with high HP, and the Hero Giant works as the tank.
The deck forces opponents to split focus and waste spells. The advantage of it is its incredible defensive potential and ability to overwhelm. The disadvantage is that a good spell or splash attack can clear spawns and slow the player’s push. Because of this, it’s crucial to be smart about your troop placement, ensuring you don’t send everything at once when you know your enemy still has an Arrow or other AoE card.
Graveyard Bowler Giant Deck
Arrows
Bowler
Hero Giant
Giant Snowball
Graveyard
Mini P.E.K.K.A
Minions
Witch
This is a control deck that focuses on defense and reducing enemy pressure. Players can stop enemies with Bowler and Witch, then counter with Hero Giant and a Graveyard cycle. The Hero Giant frontlines the push with Bowler and Witch behind them to clear troops, while Minions help kill ground troops from the air.
Mini P.E.K.K.A is the high-damage defender of this deck to stop enemy tanks, and Bowler and Giant Snowball stop ground swarms. Players can use the Graveyard spell to damage towers while enemy troops are busy attacking the Hero Giant. A good strategy is using Graveyard on the tower that the Hero Giant isn’t attacking to catch the enemy by surprise and deal some insane damage.
This deck has excellent area control and counter potential. The main disadvantage of this deck is that it has a relatively high average elixir cost of 4.0 and a reliance on good timing. If the enemy player quickly counters the Graveyard, then the deck becomes less effective.
Prince & Hero Giant Deck
Bomber
Dark Prince
Fireball
Hero Giant
Mega Minion
Prince
Rage
Zap
This deck is a mix between control and high-damage that uses the Hero Giant with high-damage troops like Prince and Mega Minion. The playstyle of this deck is reactive. Players can defend using the Mega Minion and Bomber, then counterpush by deploying the Hero Giant with both princes. Mega Minion deals damage from the air, Bomber clears ground swarms, and both princes deal serious damage. The Giant and Rage spell are the main cards for the push, while the tank absorbs enemy damage, and the princes destroy towers.
The deck has high burst damage and excellent defensive options. If the opponent stops the player’s push, then they can punish, assuming they have elixir saved. It has an average cost of 3.4 elixir, which means that some faster decks can pressure players. Air troops are also a major problem for this deck, since there are only a handful of counters for troops like Lava Hound and Balloon, especially if you use your Mega Minion early.
Conclusion
This concludes our picks for some of the best Hero Giant decks in Clash Royale. While the Hero Giant troop has the potential to be a game-changer, the first step is collecting the required hero shards for him. The good news is that you can always buy a Clash Royale top up or two to make that process easier and start constructing your ideal deck.
