Christmas has officially arrived in Clash Royale, and the game is bringing the holiday vibes with its new event, It’s Raining Gifts. It kicked off on Dec 16 and is a bit different from usual Clash Royale events. You’ll still build your usual eight-card deck, but here’s the twist: Hog Rider spawns automatically every few seconds.

We all know how tricky it can be to handle the Hog Rider, and in this event, it gets even tougher. The Hog Rider also drops powerful spells like Rage and Clone, which can make things even more chaotic. Keeping that in mind, in this guide, we will share some of the best decks to help you crush the It’s Raining Gifts event in Clash Royale.

Best It’s Raining Gifts Decks in Clash Royale

Players can use any card in the It’s Raining Gifts event, even the evolved variants like the Evo Musketeer and the Evo Mega Knight. Here are some decks you can try:

Deck One:

Average Elixir: 3.5

This is one of the strongest decks for It's Raining Gifts. Archers, Goblin Gang, and Bats are great for handling swarms like Skeleton Army, Goblins, and Guards, as well as flying troops like Dragons and Minions.

As we mentioned above, Hog Rider spawns automatically in the event, so these cards and cannon can also help players deal with it, as well as big units like P.E.K.K.A or Royal Giant.
