Top Clash Royale Decks for the Snowstorm Event

The eagerly awaited Season 66 Cozy Clashmas update for Clash Royale has marked the return of the exhilarating Snowstorm event. After a lengthy hiatus, players can now dive into a winter wonderland where icy conditions impact gameplay, requiring strategic adaptability as troops freeze upon entering the arena.

A highlight of this event is the reintroduction of the one-elixir card, Warmth, which enables players to revive their frozen troops and keep them active in combat. With one card locked and seven others available for selection, forming the right deck is crucial for success in this December event.

Top Strategies for the Snowstorm Event in Clash Royale

The Snowstorm event is a limited-time opportunity running from December 9 to December 16. During this period, players must assemble a deck of eight cards, including one mandatory card and seven of their choosing. However, certain cards are prohibited for this event, including:

Mirror (Epic – Spell)
Clone (Epic – Spell)
Freeze (Epic – Spell)
Goblin Giant (Epic – Troop)
Ram Rider (Legendary – Troop)

The absence of key cards such as the Ram Rider may pose challenges to players, as it typically excels at rapid troop deployment and tower damage. However, enthusiasts can still find a variety of powerful alternatives. Here are the recommended decks designed for optimal performance during the Snowstorm event.

Deck 1: Fast-Paced Troop Strategy

Cards	Cost
Evo Warmth	1 Elixir
Evo Skeleton Dragons	4 Elixir
Valkyrie	4 Elixir
Musketeer	4 Elixir
Fireball	4 Elixir
Golden Knight	4 Elixir
Barbarians	5 Elixir
Goblins	2 Elixir

In the Snowstorm event, troops experience a brief active phase before freezing on the icy terrain. To counter this, a deck filled with quick-moving troops is recommended, allowing players to make swift advances across the arena. It’s advisable to avoid relying on slower units such as Giant, P.E.K.K.A., or Elixir Golem, as they may get locked in place.

Additionally, deployable structures like Inferno Tower and Tesla underperform given the need to constantly use the Warmth card to maintain their effectiveness. Similarly, slower cards like Night Witch or Mini P.E.K.K.A. may not yield optimal results in this fast-paced environment.

Deck 2: Focused on Tower Damage

Cards	Cost
Evo Warmth	1 Elixir
Evo Electro Wizard	4 Elixir
Bandit	3 Elixir
Mega Knight	7 Elixir
Golden Knight	4 Elixir
Barbarians	5 Elixir
Prince	5 Elixir
Fireball	4 Elixir

This deck excels at dealing significant tower damage. While heavier builds are viable, it is crucial that they are also capable of rapid deployment to crucial targets. Featuring three robust tower-focused troops — Mega Knight, Golden Knight, and Prince — this combination allows players to leverage their strengths effectively. Utilize the Golden Knight’s ability for strategic leaping attacks and maintain pressure with Bandit and the Electro Wizard to fight off enemy troops.

Deck 3: The Fireball Assault

Cards	Cost
Evo Warmth	1 Elixir
Evo Prince	5 Elixir
Lumberjack	4 Elixir
Minion Horde	5 Elixir
Goblin Gang	3 Elixir
Skeleton Army	3 Elixir
Goblin Barrel	3 Elixir
Fireball	4 Elixir

Given that troops can freeze unexpectedly during the Snowstorm, it’s wise to save your key fighters for when your opponent’s units are immobilized. The Fireball card is particularly effective for dismantling enemy clusters caught in the icy grip, while also targeting supporting structures.

Players will have the option to engage in two game modes during the event: 1v1 and 2v2. Additionally, from December 13 to December 16, the game will introduce a special challenge named Blizzard Rerun, providing players with the chance to earn an exclusive Banner Frame upon victory.
