The Rune Giant, a new Epic card in Clash Royale, shakes up the arena! Unlocked at Jungle Arena (Arena 9), players can currently grab one free from the shop as part of the launch offer (until January 17th, 2025). After that, it's back to chests and the shop for this powerful addition.

While acquiring the Rune Giant is easy, mastering its use is key to victory. This guide explores its strengths and showcases top-performing decks to maximize its potential.

Clash Royale Rune Giant Overview

The Rune Giant, an Epic card, targets enemy Towers and defensive buildings. At tournament level, it boasts 2803 Hitpoints and medium movement speed, dealing 120 damage to buildings – more than an Ice Golem, but less than a Giant.

However, its true strength lies not in its tankiness, but its unique Enchant effect. Upon deployment, it enchants two nearby troops, boosting their damage with every third hit. This buffing ability makes it incredibly potent in specific deck combinations.

Costing only four elixir, it cycles easily without draining your resources. Fast-attacking troops like the Dart Goblin maximize its effect, while slower units can strategically leverage the Enchant bonus.

Despite this, the Rune Giant lacks the Hitpoints to be a solo win condition like the Golem. It excels as a supportive buffer, distracting enemies and absorbing tower hits while your other units attack.
