Clash Royale is debuting the Goblin Barrel evolution, and there is an exciting event and challenge taking place in the game to mark its celebration. As a result, players are quite curious to know what are the best decks that can be made with the Goblin Barrel for the Clash Royale challenge.

While there are obviously a number of decks that can work quite well around the Goblin Barrel, the Hog Rider and Goblin Barrel synergy has been considered one of the best for a long time. Tanks like Giants work well with this too, but considering that this deck is more focused on being a fast-cycle one, the lower elixir cost and agility of the Hog Rider makes it a much more suitable choice. Here is the best strategy for this deadly Hog Rider and Goblin Barrel duo deck.

While attacking, the Hog Rider along with the Goblin Barrel is going to be an extremely powerful combination that can absolutely obliterate towers in merely seconds. However, it is quite crucial to ensure that players don't drop the Goblin Barrel way too early, as it could cause the towers to lock on to them instead. This would also help players avoid any early Fireballs.

The Princess has been quickly becoming a part of the Clash Royale meta lately, and its high damage and low elixir cost make it a really versatile option for this deck. Players can use it as a support for their primary pushes, and if the need arises, it can be quite handy for defense as well. The same holds true for Minions as well. Setting up the Inferno Tower as a distraction and using the Minions and Princess to chip away damage can be a really good defensive strategy. Not to forget, cards like The Log and Fireball are also there to ensure that players don't get spammed. Replacing the Fireball with Zap is another option players can explore if they want to make the deck even more economical.

Last but not least, the Knight is an extremely useful card as well, as it serves a purpose that many cards in this deck do — being a defensive tank. The only other card that can be used for this is the Inferno Tower, but the Knight offers a much cheaper option making it an extremely good card to deal with counter pushes. For dealing with tanks, it is probably a better idea to just go for the 5 Elixir Inferno Tower, but for everything else, the Knight along with the spells and Minions/Princess combo should suffice. Not to forget, in dire circumstances, the Goblin Barrel can also be a handy defensive unit.
