The strategy
Average deck cost: 3.4 Elixir
This deck is based on hard to stop offensive combos, consisting of pig rider, valkyrie, musketeer and poison. Note that these cards are also used for defense and counter-attack. The valkyrie offers area damage on the ground and tanks very well in front of the musketeer. The latter allows her to inflict great damage both on the ground and in the air. Finally, poison is a formidable spell which, in addition to eliminating all small troops, slows down the opposing offense (and defense).
When it comes to offense, the goal is to line up the three tough guys in the deck: cochon to get the cannon then the tower, the musketeer to cover it and free the passage and the valkyrie against barbarians and small troops. All this accompanied by a preshot poison according to the opposing defense (which we will have previously analyzed during the game).
However, this combo is rather expensive, and it is rare to place it more than twice in a game. But don't worry, many other combos are possible. First of all you can put the valkyrie then pig just behind, which will have the effect of accelerating the valkyrie. A push always tricky to defend.
Then the combo pig-skeletons. The skeletons can be used to slightly accelerate the pig, but they can also be used to do a "pig push". Finally, the valkyrie in front of a musketeer can also be very effective and is often complicated to counter. Let's not forget the presence of the poison which can support one of these pushes (and which greatly facilitates access to the opposing tower). If dosed well, it can even give you an elixir advantage.
