The deck consists of the following cards:

  • Reaper
  • Bombardier
  • Engineer
  • Hunter
  • Priestess

Gameplay tips

The deck focuses on a number of high-power units with the combination of the Reaper which can instantly kill non-boss units. The deck should be played aggressively by playing out all of your cards until you reach a full deck. Do not worry about mana recovery early on in the game or if your opponent is starting to level up cards.

The early game plan should be to try to fill up the deck with as many cards as possible and ignore the temptation to start merging your units early on even if your opponent does so. Focus on trying to build a number of Engineers around each other. Reapers are a great addition to this deck as they can instantly kill enemy units with one hit.

If your battle runs for a long period of time your Engineers will come into their own. Focus on trying to get a number of them aligned, when they reach maximum level watch your enemy struggle to counter the attack.

This deck is built with the long game in mind, as your units level up you will notice the damage output greatly increase. Eventually, the deck can become too strong for your opponent’s defense and you should start to gain a lead. Continue to apply pressure to victory!

Other notable decks

The beauty of Rush Royale is that there is a range of different unit cards available for you to choose from. This makes the possibilities endless and it means you are not confined to one deck variation.

Other notable decks that we have found useful in Arena 5 are:

Deck 2

  • Reaper
  • Alchemist
  • Engineer
  • Hunter
  • Bombardier

Gameplay tips

This deck is a slight variation on the one we listed above, instead of the Priestess we have the Alchemist card. This card periodically creates a puddle of acid that deals damage to the enemy when they pass through it. This deck should also be played aggressively from the start.

In the early game try to build up as many level 1 cards as possible, ignore leveling up cards until you are near deck capacity. Try to get as many Engineers together as possible to gain the attack boost. We found having a combination of the Engineers, Hunters, and Bombardiers paired with a Reaper and Alchemist (at minimum) works best.

The end game tactic is to try and get as many Engineers close together to maximize damage output. If this is not achievable you can rely on your Hunter, Bombardier, and Reaper cards to apply pressure on your enemy.
