In Rush Royale, the aim of the game is to overpower your opponent by building deck combinations that can lead you to victory. Like most games, Rush Royale offers a number of different cards that vary in grade from common to legendary that can be obtained and leveled up to create endless deck possibilities.
In this article, we are going to focus on the Cultist and some of the best decks for the card. We will look at a number of deck variations and give you some tips on how to play them.
The Cultist is a legendary card that is part of the Dark Domain faction in Rush Royale. This card attacks using splash damage that can target multiple enemies at once. The card also receives an attack boost depending on how many neighboring Cultist cards are located next to them.
The Cultist does not have a mana level up in-game, instead, if Cultists are placed in the four corner tiles they can be sacrificed which will return you some mana and give your onfield Cultists an attack boost.
Unlocking talents on this card really supercharges the Cultist unit which sees it hold its own in some of the top decks used in Rush Royale today.
Best Cultist decks
There are a number of strong Cultist decks that you can choose from in Rush Royale. We have listed some of our favorites and strongest below:
Cultist Enchanted Sword Deck
- Cultist
- Portal Keeper
- Dryad
- Enchanted Sword
- Harlequin
Deck Tips
The game plan with this deck is to get as many high-powered Cultist units in the center of the field. You should surround them with other Cultist units so they receive their attack boost, the Portal Keeper is included to make this easier.
In the early stages of the match, you should aim to get a number of Cultists on the field, this will help you cope with waves of enemies before the first boss. Use your Harlequin to duplicate Dryads to level up your Cultist units.
The Enchanted Sword should be used to buff your main Cultist units, merge them when you have a few Cultists on the field so the boost will remain with them.
Cultist Scrapper Deck
- Cultist
- Portal Keeper
- Dryad
- Scrapper
- Harlequin
Deck Tips
This deck is almost exactly the same as the one we mentioned before – the only difference being the use of the Scrapper card included over the Enchanted Sword.
The same game plan should be followed as we mentioned before, try to get as many high-powered Cultist units in the center of the field as possible. You can duplicate units with your Harlequin and use the Portal Keeper to remove any negative effects.
The Scrapper and Dryad units offer multiple ways in which you can level up your Cultist units. Use your scrapper to remove any unwanted cards or any low-level cards as the match goes on.
cultist Bombardier Deck
- Cultist
- Portal Keeper
- Dryad
- Bombardier
- Harlequin
Deck Tips
If you prefer to use the Bombardier in-game over other debuff cards then this deck is ideal for you. The deck uses the majority of the same cards we have used before with the addition of the Bombardier card.
You will need to build up a number of Cultist units in the early stages of the game. Aim to put your highest-powered Cultist in the center of the map so it can be surrounded by other Cultist units – this way it will receive its boost.
The main function of the Bombardier in this deck is to stun enemies as they pass, this will help slow bosses and some of the elite enemies in the match that have high levels of HP.
Use your Portal Keeper to maneuver any cards that have negative effects or that need moving into the correct position.
Cultist Chemist Deck
- Cultist
- Portal Keeper
- Dryad
- Chemist
- Harlequin
Deck Tips
The final deck offers yet another variation of the decks we have mentioned before. This time we have subbed in the Chemist card, which can be useful for destroying enemy armor and performing a decent amount of damage to enemies.
Follow the same process as mentioned before by building as many high-powered Cultist units in the center of the map. You should surround them with 4 Cultist units so you gain the attack speed and damage boost – your Portal Keeper can assist with this.
Use your Harlequin to duplicate Dryad or Cultist cards, this can depend on what stage you are at in the game. In the early stages of the game, you should aim to build a number of Cultists before merging them to higher levels.
