1) Utilize high-damage troops and buildings

Using troops with high damage or swiftly demolishable structures is one of the best ways to deal with the Goblin Giant in Clash Royale. You can take down the Goblin Giant before it gets to your tower using cards like Mini P.E.K.K.A., Lumberjack, and Inferno Tower, which deal a lot of damage with each hit.

Thanks to its high single-target damage and quick attack speed, Mini P.E.K.K.A. is a dependable counter for the Goblin Giant. To further lessen the Goblin Giant's charge, troops with splash damage, such as Baby Dragon or Valkyrie, can assist in clearing out any swarm of soldiers that may be nearby.


2) Deploy swarm troops to distract and chip away

Another useful tactic for defeating the Goblin Giant involves using swarm troops in Clash Royale to distract your opponent and gradually reduce its health. Swarming the Goblin Giant with cards like Skeleton Army, Goblin Gang, and Bats is a great method to draw its focus away from your towers and deliver steady damage.

Even though none of these soldiers can deal a lot of damage on their own, when combined, they can progressively deplete the Goblin Giant's health, especially if a defensive structure like a Tesla or Cannon is nearby to deflect it. Furthermore, by sending out swarm soldiers ahead of time, you can thwart the opponent's push and make them spend elixir on more support cards to handle the swarm.


3) Utilize defensive spells and kiting techniques

To resist the Goblin Giant and lessen its damage to your towers, you can also use defensive spells and kiting strategies in Clash Royale. The Goblin Giant can be momentarily stopped in its tracks by cards like Tornado and Freeze, giving you time to rearrange your forces or send out more defensive units.

Additionally, you can use kiting strategies with cards like Ice Spirit or Ice Golem to entice the Goblin Giant away from your towers. Doing so will allow your troops or defensive structures to concentrate on taking out auxiliary units or damaging the opponent directly.

This rounds up everything you need to know about countering the Goblin Giant in Clash Royale and keeping control of the battlefield.
