Lava Hound Draft Challenge in Clash Royale

The Lava Hound Draft Challenge is the game's newest special challenge, in which players compete in a 1v1 battle while drafting a deck as troop selections appear. As a result, players can only select four cards, and the four cards that are discarded are given to the opponent. Similarly, the opponent selects four cards and discards four cards, which are added to your deck.

The in-game description of the Lava Hound Draft Challenge is:

"Pick 4 cards and receive 4 from your opponent: one of you will get to play with Lava Hound! 3 losses and you're out, but you still have a chance to reset your losses and continue to play."

Players in this new type of 1v1 challenge can't choose their deck before the match begins. Rather, before the match begins, participants will be given a variety of card options from which they have to choose in order to build a deck. In the 1v1, one player will definitely get a Lava Hound card, while all other cards are random.

Every 5 seconds, players are given the choice of selecting one of two cards. When players choose one, it is added to the battle deck, while the discarded card is added to the opponent's deck. In this way, the player chooses four cards while receiving four cards from the opponent.

These card options may include any card ranging from Common to Champions, regardless of whether you have unlocked it or not.
