How to Counter Mega Knight in Clash Royale
Eliminating the Mega Knight might seem like a challenge, but it can be rather simple if played with the right strategy. Next in this Clash Royale Mega Knight Guide, we take a look at the best strategies you can employ to do exactly this.
- High DPS troops – deploying troops with high damage-per-second (DPS) is one of the most effective ways to counter the Mega Knight. Troops like the Mini P.E.K.K.A, Prince, Mighty Miner, and Inferno Dragon can quickly take down the Mega Knight with ease. Ensure to place them in such a way that they target the Mega Knight and do not get distracted by the enemy’s support troops.
- Air Troops – the Mega Knight only focuses on ground troops, making it vulnerable to air troops. Deploying air troops like Minion Horde, Inferno Dragon, and others can deal great damage without getting attacked in return. Their ability to attack from above gives them an edge over Mega Knight’s ground-focused attacks.
- Buildings – defensive buildings, especially Inferno Tower, can melt down the Mega Knight. Aside from the Inferno Tower, you can also Tombstone, Tesla, Bomb Tower, and most other buildings to distract the Mega Knight from the tower.
Clash Royale Mega Knight Tips
Let us now have a look at some tips to help you use the Mega Knight to its full potential:
- Counter Push – Mega Knight is one of the most ideal cards for counter pushes due to its insane area damage. When you are defending an enemy’s attack, allow the Mega Knight to clear the troops and back it up with support troops for a devastating counter-push.
- Pair with Splash Troops – The Mega Knight’s splash damage, coupled with support troops such as the Wizard, Executioner, etc. that deal splash damage, can prove to be lethal. Deploy these troops to clear out swarms and anything that comes in the way of the Mega Knight.
- Support with Ranged Troops – Deploying ranged troops such as the Princess, Firecracker, and Magic Archer can provide additional support and increase the survival of Mega Knight. While the Mega Knight soaks up all the damage in the front, these ranged troops can deal damage from afar, without having to worry about being attacked.
