Cost: 4 Elixir

Damage: 421

Hitpoints: 228

It's a building-targeting epic card with a reasonably high damage output. Arena 5 is where you can get it. To assault the minions and skeletal army, gamers need to employ Hog Rider with Log or Fireball. Upgrading Hog Rider is advantageous because it targets the opponent's towers directly, resulting in massive damage.


4) Fireball

Cost: 4 Elixir

Damage: 913

At the Training Camp, you can unlock the Fireball card, which is an area-damage spell with a medium radius and high damage. When the Fireball card is upgraded, it becomes the best card to utilize against attacking troops such as Wizards, Musketeers, and so on.


3) Archer Queen
