Best Clash Royale Monk Decks

For a long time, Legendary cards held the title of the rarest cards in Clash Royale. However, the introduction of Champions changed this forever. Each Champion has a unique ability that players can activate by spending elixir. One of the most recently added Champions is the Monk, whose special ability allows it to launch back troops and spells toward your enemy.

Right after its launch, many players complained about its insane strength, leading to its nerf. Even after the substantial Monk nerf, this Champion remains quite powerful. In this guide, we share some amazing Clash Royale Monk decks.

Best Monk Decks in Clash Royale

1) Hog Monk Cycle

• Hog Rider
• Monk
• The Log
• Skeletons
• Firecracker
• Bomb Tower
• Ice Spirit
• Earthquake

Hog Rider is already one of the strongest cards in Clash Royale’s meta. By cycling Hog Rider with Monk, you will have an incredibly powerful deck at your fingertips. The Log is used to counter low HP ground enemies. If you don’t have The Log, consider using another spell like Arrows. This deck features mostly cheap cards to help you spam Hog Rider with Monk as it is the main win condition for any Hog cycle deck.

2) Monk Phoenix Poison Cycle

• Monk
• Phoenix
• Ice Spirit
• The Log
• Poison
• Bomb Tower
• Goblins
• Miner

The Monk and Phoenix combo used to be one of the strongest, but the nerf hit them quite hard. However, players can still use this combo with other powerful cards to create a competitive deck in Clash Royale. This deck boasts a solid defense, with options like Bomb Tower, The Log, and Poison to thwart enemies.

3) Royal Giant Evolution with Monk and Phoenix

• Royal Giant Evolution
• Monk
• Phoenix
• Rage Spell
• Goblins
• Fisherman
• Electro Wizard
• Fireball

Card evolutions are the new meta in Clash Royale. This deck capitalizes on the Evolved Royal Giant’s ability to push back with Monk’s ability. It’s an upgraded version of the previous Monk Phoenix cycle deck with some new cards. As Royal Giant and Monk advance toward the enemy’s towers, keep the Rage Spell ready. For the rest of the cards, use them for defense against the opponent’s cards. This deck is costly, but you can replace Electro Wizard and Fisherman with alternatives like Electro Spirit and Hunter.

4) Monk Phoenix Balloon

• Balloon
• Monk
• Phoenix
• Giant Snowball
• Bomb Tower
• Miner
• Arrows
• Goblins

Balloon has always been one of the most powerful cards in Clash Royale. If your enemy neglects to counter the Balloon, it can easily chip away 20-30% of a tower’s HP. To support the Balloon, the classic Monk Phoenix cycle and Arrows are included in this deck. For defense, Bomb Tower and Giant Snowball are great choices.

5) Graveyard Monk Zappies

• Barbarian Barrel
• Monk
• Graveyard
• Zappies
• Phoenix
• Skeletons
• Tombstone
• Poison

In almost all Monk decks, Monk is paired with Phoenix due to their top-tier synergy in both defense and attack. In this particular deck, you can use the Graveyard spell card as your win condition. The remaining cards are spam cards to keep pressure on your opponent. Since Skeletons are vulnerable to many cards, ensure they survive long enough to tank for the main push. Barbarian Barrel and Zappies can help other cards survive. Keep Poison for opponent’s swarm cards.
