Heist is a game mode that is only available to play in Special Event Challenges, Party Mode, Private Tournaments, and certain seasons of Clan Wars – Collection Day. The game mode is completely different from the classic Clash Royale match, as it doesn’t consist of any defensive Towers. In this Clash Royale article, we shall discuss the primary necessities in a deck for the Heist mode and 3 decks that can be used to win in Heist battles.
Heist mode in Clash Royale
In the Heist game mode, a non-defensive tower, the Safe, is present on both sides and is placed at the King Tower’s spot. No defensive towers are present, hence Spawner cards like the Witch, Night Witch, Barbarian Hut, etc. can come into play. A heavy tank like the PEKKA, Mega Knight, etc. is a must-have in order to form a strong offensive unit.
Buildings like the Inferno Tower can be considered if players do not wish to have a heavy unit in their deck. The Goblin Drill can also prove to be a hefty contributor to damaging the Safe. Inferno Dragon or the Mighty Miner can be brutal in this game mode, as it damages to a great extent over time.
In terms of Spells, Arrows, rockets, or fireballs would be ideal, because they can be used anywhere and they can support really well in the offensive and defensive strategies. The graveyard is one of the best cards in this game mode, as it can severely affect the Safe if ignored. With all these options, one can create a number of decks as per their preference and comfort.
