Strategies to counter Magic Archer in Clash Royale

1) Tank and spank strategy

A good strategy is to use a high hitpoint troop, sometimes called a "tank," to deflect Magic Archer bullets and then use a second destructive unit, called a "spank," to finish it off.

Because they can close the distance and yet survive the Magic Archer's arrows, troops like the Royal Giant, Giant, and Golem make excellent tanks. Lumberjack, Elite Barbarians, Mini P.E.K.K.A., and other high-damage units can be paired with these tanks to swiftly destroy the Magic Archer before it deals any serious damage.

The tank in Clash Royale must be deployed at just the right moment to block the Magic Archer's arrows, allowing the spank unit to move in unharmed and quickly eliminate the threat.

2) Use ground-targeting spells and troops

Using soldiers and ground-targeting spells to directly target and destroy the Magic Archer in Clash Royale from a safe distance is another efficient strategy. When used in conjunction with troops that can temporarily deflect or tank the Magic Archer's attacks, spells like Fireball, Rocket, and Lightning can deal a lot of damage to the creature and even destroy it in a single cast.

Furthermore, ground-based units that can target the Magic Archer without being hit by its penetrating arrows, including the Musketeer, Electro Wizard, and Hunter, are perfect for taking out the danger from a distance.

Through the tactical placement of these spells and troops, you can effectively neutralize the Magic Archer with the least amount of damage to their towers in Clash Royale.

By diverting the Magic Archer's focus from important targets like towers or support troops, building placement, and diversion strategies can also be used to effectively oppose the attack.

By tricking the Magic Archer into focusing on defensive structures like Cannon, Tesla, and Inferno Tower rather than more vital ones, defensive structures can give time for other forces or spells to safely destroy the enemy.

Furthermore, the attention of Magic Archer in Clash Royale can be diverted from high-value targets by using inexpensive diversion troops like Ice Spirit, Goblins, or Skeletons. In this manner, other troops or spells can eliminate the Magic Archer without dealing much damage.

Buildings and diversion troops must be positioned strategically to oppose the Magic Archer in Clash Royale and keep control of the battleground.
