Top 5 Best Clash Royale Hero Magic Archer Decks: Meta Decks for Ladders and Challenges

Hero Magic Archer is one of the latest Hero cards to be introduced in Clash Royale. As an upgrade to the original Magic Archer, this Hero Variant has an additional Hero ability that lets you create a decoy in its place before darting back and shooting three long-range arrows instead of one.

After testing this card extensively in 1v1 battles and checking out popular decks created by the community, this article will explain five Clash Royale best Hero Magic Archer decks I recommend building now.

Best Hero Magic Archer Decks in Clash Royale

The Hero Magic Archer's one-cost Triple Threat ability has a deceptively long range since his empowered three-arrow attack can hit the enemy Princess towers from your side. Moreover, they also deal more damage and can also go through enemies like his normal attack. As such, its cheap cost makes it a good get-out-of-jail-free ability that you can use to prevent him from dying and reposition better.

After analyzing his playstyle and testing out his new ability, here are my picks for the five Clash Royale best Hero Magic Archer decks you should use against the current best Clash Royale meta decks:

1. Pekka Bandit EWiz EvoGhost

This is one of the most popular Clash Royale best Hero Magic Archer decks on this list because of its viability in Triple or 7x Elixir game modes that often come up during Clan Wars. You should primarily use the Evolved Battle Ram to initiate attacks with the Evolved Royal Ghost since these two are most likely to directly hit enemy towers.

The Hero Magic Archer can provide long-range support to these two attackers. Bandit can also join in to help you push more offensively. You should play P.E.K.K.A. as a defender so that it can then go on to lead an offensive push if it survives alongside your other attackers. Electro Wizard, Fireball, and Zap are best used as defenders, with Zap being useful for taking out enemy Skeletons, Bats, and Minions that may target your attacking units.

2. EvoGobDrillCannon HeroMArcher Nado

This is one of the best Hero Magic Archer decks in Clash Royale since it has a cheap average elixir cost (3.0) and uses good units to set up win conditions. Goblin Drill Evolution and Hero Magic Archer will be your primary attackers, where you directly target enemy towers with the former and provide long-range support with the latter. Goblin Demolisher and Knight are also good all-rounders that can be used defensively or offensively depending on the situation.

While the Evolved Cannon and Skeletons are solely used for defense, the former's long-range barrage when evolved can easily take out pesky troops like Musketeers and Princesses. However, try using your Tornado to suck in defenders in one spot before hitting them all with the Hero Magic Archer's Triple Threat ability to take them all out. This is one of the most satisfying combos I like using with this deck.

3. EvoBreakerValkyrie Miner Nado

Out of all Clash Royale best Hero Magic Archer decks, this one relies the most on directly attacking enemy towers. Units like the Evolved Wall Breakers and Miner can directly target enemy towers while your Hero Magic Archer provides additional offensive support to them from the bridge.

While the Valkyrie is primarily used as a defender, you can use her evolved version offensively to support Miners and Wall Breakers by pulling in defenders towards her. This works similarly to how the Hero Magic Archer and Tornado combo work. All the other cards should be used defensively. Overall, this can become one of the best Clash Royale Miner decks.

4. EvoRHogsRGhost GobHut

If you want a spammy deck where you can have many units in the field at once, use this Clash Royale Hero Magic Archer deck. Goblin Hut is a defensive building that can stop the best Hog Rider decks, alongside dealing with aerial troops. Lightning is a good spell to ward off strong attackers when you are defending, alongside damaging enemy towers if used offensively during clutch moments. The Barbarian Barrel is also good for dealing with Skeletons, Musketeers, and Princesses near the Bridge.

Your main attack here consists of evolved Royal Hogs (which completely bypass Cannons) and Royal Ghosts with long-range support from the Hero Magic Archer. The Spear Goblins spawned from the Goblin Hut can also support your main attackers. Use Skeletons and Electro Spirit when you defend your towers and troops.

5. EvoBreaker Valkyrie Bait 2.5

The final entry in this list of Clash Royal best Hero Magic Archer decks is also the cheapest one, with an average elixir cost of 2.5. Being a variant of the infamous Log Bait deck, this deck has a good balance of four offensive cards and four defensive cards. Its main play is to use the Evolved Wall Breaker and Goblin Barrel offensively with the Hero Magic Archer as a supporter.

While all the other cards are mainly used defensively, Valkyrie can lead attacks since enemy towers and troops can lock on to her while your Wall Breakers and Goblin Barrels can freely target the enemy tower. Cannon, Ice Spirit, and Fire Spirit can be excellent lure defenders along with your Goblins.

That's it for this list of best Clash Royale Hero Magic Archer decks. While all of these decks are great as they are, I encourage you to modify them as per your playstyle and Evolution card availability to create new decks. I also recommend checking out my list of the best Chaos Mode decks in Clash Royale before the event ends.
