Bulky Royal Champion

This deck consists in generate a solid forntlane with the recruit and the knight. The main carry is the RCso is important to upgrade her soon. You have so many options with this deck depends the match up.

If you have doubt of which upgrade is better, the 1st one is always the secure option, the stun in AOE is really strong. The 2nd upgrade is perfect vs decks with many units in the backlane, like 4 mages. You can get the kill so easy and destroy them with 3 or 4 supers in a row. The 3rd upgrade is situational, maybe if you consider that you can get free early stacks vs a elixir oriented deck with Pink Fury can be a choice. Is important to get the upgrade soon if you want to choose this option for stack as soon as possible.

Upgrade the tanks is our life secure for RC, the 2nd upgrade for the recruit is a great combo with a 3 stars knight, who will tank a lot of time and generate enough space for let the RC do the dmg. The 6 upgrades of the tanks are great, consider if you can taunt a lot of enemies for the first upgrade of the knight, or the front to back can be so slow and the 3rd upgrade of the recruit can be clutch.

Musketeer gives you the 4 Royal buff and RC becomes so tanky, you can reposition the hero more aggressive with the 2nd recruit's upgrade and generate a lot of pressure with fast supers, depends if you have to rush the enemy comp or play the classic front to back. If you need insta CC, you can upgrade the musketeer too, has a really nice upgrades but remember that is a support unt, she dont deal a lot of dmg, only help with the stuns.

Villager is super usefull to put on the field but not necessary to upgrade. Try to get the 1st upgrade (damage) if they have a strong forntlane and the 2nd one is good too if they have backlane attack or you get sniped by some Bowler, Hog Rider... The elixir in the 3rd upgrade is practically always useless, when the RC dies, commonly you lose the round and the villager is no longer in the filed.

I like archer for many reasons. Helps the musketeer to stun faster with the attack speed and generate a little more defense with extra HP for the villager. Sometimes, the deck have problems vs annoying large range units like electric mage or dart goblin and you can try to pivot your strategy into 3 stars archer snipping them. This units generate a lot of play making and chances in difficult match ups, but you can fill the space with other things, for example:

Mini pekka - Free match up vs Shield Maiden with the 3rd upgrade. The 1st upgrade can work too. Have the specialist bonus.

Valkyrie - More frontlane, strong unit and clan buff always work, maybe is the easiest way to play the deck.
