Best Decks (August 2023)

Bruiser Deck

Rush Royale | Best Deck Guide - Pocket Gamer.io (14)
  • Bruiser
  • Trapper
  • Enchanted Sword
  • Dryad
  • Harlequin

Deck Tips

At the top of our list is a Bruiser deck, the Bruiser has returned to the top of the stack since the last meta changes. This made the card more effective and enhanced the card’s abilities.

This deck is favored towards the Awakening Rage talent as it relies on leveling up cards nearby your Bruiser units and also the Bruisers themselves.

Use your Dryads and Harlequins to level up any cards and create copies of any cards that need merging. Aim to merge the higher-level cards away from your Bruiser units and replace them with a level 1 card so they are easier to merge again.

The Enchanted Sword is useful in this deck as it can provide your Bruiser units with a much-needed damage boost. Aim to push the negative effects over to your opponent whenever possible.

The Trapper is used to slow enemies and remove their armor as they pass. Aim to keep a maximum of 3-4 high-level Trappers on the field at once.

Demon Hunter Deck

Rush Royale | Best Deck Guide - Pocket Gamer.io (15)
  • Trapper
  • Enchanted Sword
  • Harlequin
  • Dryad
  • Demon Hunter

Deck Tips

The next deck on our list features a card that has recently received talents for the first time – the Demon Hunter. Since the addition of talents, this card has been making its way to the top of the meta.

Like all Demon Hunter decks, this is a slow burner from the beginning of the match. Your tactics will depend on what talent you have chosen for the Demon Hunter. Aim to build so you can get through the first couple of bosses, pair this deck with a hero card that can perform a good amount of damage to bosses such as the Jake Paul, Gadget, or Elementalist hero.

Use a combination of your Dryads and Harlequin units to level up or copy Demon Hunters (this will vary on your talents).

The Enchanted Sword works wonders with any Demon Hunter deck, try to get a maximum buff on your main Demon Hunter attacking units.

The purpose of the Trapper in this deck is to slow enemies and remove their armor. If you prefer other cards such as the Cold Mage, or Frost cards you can use these in place of the Trapper.

Robot Deck

Rush Royale | Best Deck Guide - Pocket Gamer.io (16)
  • Robot
  • Trapper
  • Witch
  • Mime
  • Harlequin

Deck Tips

The next deck that makes it onto our list is one that features the Robot card. This card can be a really fun card to play with and actually quite effective once you reach a score of 20 Robots in-game.

In the early stages of the game, you should focus on increasing your Robot score as much as possible. Use Mime cards to merge Robot and Witch units if possible, this will save you mana as you progress through the game.

When you are building your Robot score always keep a level 1 Robot handy, this way if a Harlequin appears you can copy and merge.

The Witch is possibly one of the most fun and frustrating cards in the game. Aim to play this card once your opponent has built up a good deck with some highly-leveled cards. Your aim is to get the curse to land on their primary damage units.

The Trapper is used to slow enemies and remove their armor as they pass. You can also use other Debuff units instead of the Trapper such as the Bombardier and Cold Mage, both will slow enemies as they pass.

Bruiser Witch Deck

Rush Royale | Best Deck Guide - Pocket Gamer.io (17)
  • Enchanted Sword
  • Harlequin
  • Dryad
  • Bruiser
  • Witch

Deck Tips

We see yet another Bruiser deck make the list, this time the card is paired with the Witch which is ultimately used to target your opponent’s main damage cards.

In the first stages of the match aim to build up your Bruiser units with clovers. Depending on what talents you have this involves merging or absorbing your Bruiser units until clovers are complete. This should give you enough power to defeat the first few bosses.

As the game progresses you will need to start upgrading your Bruiser units to increase their attack speed. Use a combination of the Harlequin and Dryad units to do so.

The Enchanted Sword should be merged when you are happy with your Bruiser layout as any buffs will be removed if the card is merged.

Your aim with the Witch is to cast a curse on their main attacking units. Time merging the Witch units when a small number of targets are on the field or when your opponent stops upgrading cards.

And there you have it! We hope you have enjoyed reading our guide on the best decks currently in Rush Royale!
