A Duel Challenge is no easy undertaking in Clash Royale. Winning one requires you to be victorious in a best-of-three set, meaning you need to prepare four different decks before jumping in. Building just one reliable deck is tough to begin with, but four is a really big ask. Fortunately, we’ve prepared more than a dozen workable options for your right here. Since many Clash Royale decks center on one of the game’s four champions, we’ve arranged these picks under the Archer Queen, Golden Knight, Might Miner, and Skeleton King banners. Read on for our recommendations, and feel free to mix and match to your personal playstyle.
Best Archer Queen decks for Clash Royale Duel Challenge
When you choose the Archer Queen as your champion, she’ll handle a lot of the stealth and ranged combat, freeing you up for support and bum-rush strategies. You’ll notice that the first two of these sets are the same ones found in our best Archer Queen decks guide. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Best Golden Knight decks for Clash Royale Duel Challenge
The Golden Knight is often the centerpiece of a rush strategy, as he’s a tank character that can do a lot of melee damage. Most of your best bets here involve supporting him as the focus of your attacks, whether that’s with ranged support or debuffs.

Best Mighty Miner decks for Clash Royale Duel Challenge
Mighty Miner’s strategies are similar to the Golden Knight’s because they’re both tanky melee fighters. The Miner, however, has the ability to tunnel underground to close in or make escapes. For the most part, these decks also focus on ranged support and debuffs.

Best Skeleton King decks for Clash Royale Duel Challenge
Finally, we have the Skeleton King. He’s another melee fighter, but he deals damage in an area of effect and can spawn additional skeletons, as his name implies. These decks play into those features, while also offering a ranged option.
