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 popular Dryad unit 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.
Let’s start by taking a look at the Dryad card and how it actually works.
The Dryad is a legendary card that is part of the Forest Alliance faction in Rush Royale. This card is one of the most popular legendary units in the game as it can increase the merge rank of the allied unit it merges with. Most players in Rush Royale see this as one of the most critical units to obtain as it is featured in so many decks.
Once talents are unlocked on the Dryad it goes up yet another tier. Some of the standout talents that can help you in battle are the Fairy of Growth which can grant you additional Dryads and the Fairy of Rage which increases damage for all units on the field each merge.
The Dryad unit is unlocked once you reach Arena 8 and can be obtained in chests, the in-game store, and in rewards found within the game.
The Dryad is one of those cards that regularly finds itself at the top of the PvP leaderboard and in some of the best Co-Op decks in the game. Obtaining this card early on is crucial to your success in the game.
