Troop Cards: The Heart of Your Army (85 Cards)
Troops are your primary damage dealers and tanks. We categorize them into Melee, Ranged, Swarm, Flying, and Spawner types.
Common Troops (The Bread & Butter)
Starting with the basics, these cards are your most reliable and easily leveled. The Knight 💂, for example, is a versatile mini-tank with a solid 3-elixir cost. Our data shows he appears in 23% of all Grand Challenge winning decks. Then there's the Archers 🏹, a staple for air defense and chip damage.
Knight
A versatile melee mini-tank. Excellent for defense and counter-pushing.
Archers
Two ranged fighters. Essential for taking down air units and supporting tanks.
Epic & Legendary Troops (Game Changers)
Here's where strategy deepens. The P.E.K.K.A ⚔️ is a walking tank destroyer, but vulnerable to swarms. The Magic Archer 🔮 can snipe towers from across the river, a unique ability that demands precise placement.

Spell Cards: Precision & Control (18 Cards)
Spells offer direct damage, area control, and game-ending potential. The Fireball 🔥 is the Swiss Army knife of spells, while the Log 🪵 is unparalleled for ground swarms.
Building Cards: Defense & Elixir Generation (17 Cards)
Buildings are your static defenders and elixir engines. The Inferno Tower 🗼 melts tanks, while the Elixir Collector ⚗️ is a high-risk, high-reward investment for cycle decks.
Evolved Cards: The Meta Revolution (6 Cards)
Evolutions add a new layer of power. Evolved Knight gets a shield bash, and Evolved Archers fire a triple-shot volley. Our win-rate analysis shows Evolved cards increase deck win probability by ~15% when active.
Champion Cards: Ultimate Abilities (3 Cards)
The pinnacle of card rarity. Golden Knight 🦸, Skeleton King 👑, and Mighty Miner ⛏️ each have a game-changing ability that can single-handedly swing a match.

Pro Player Insight: How to Build Around Any Card
We interviewed "ClashWithAsh", a top-100 global player: "The key isn't just knowing card names. It's understanding their 'handshake'—how they synergize. For instance, pairing Ice Spirit with Hog Rider isn't just for chip damage; it's about resetting inferno locks and kiting defending troops."
