Hog Rider has been one of the best cards in Clash Royale for destroying towers due to its fast speed and good damage. And if you wish to build the best Hog Rider decks in Clash Royale, you are at the right place!

If given proper support during attacks, Hog Rider decks can help you easily take down a tower in one go. Here are five Clash Royale best Hog Rider decks you can build to use the troop at its maximum potential and climb the trophy ladder.

5 Best Meta Clash Royale Hog Rider Decks

Since Hog Rider moves fast, we must support him using troops that can deal AoE damage over a wide area. Troops like the Witch, Wizard, Executioner, and other troops that deal explosive damage will be invaluable as supporters in these decks. These troops can quickly destroy enemy buildings due to their medium- to long-range attacks.

You will also see spells like Zap, Log, and Arrows in most of these meta Clash Royale Hog Rider decks since they are perfect for countering the Hog Rider's primary weakness of swarm units like Skeletons, Goblins, Bats, and Minions. They are also perfect for dealing with sneaky Goblin Barrel attacks. As such, it's not unusual to see some of the best Hog Rider decks in the list of Best Clash Royale Meta decks.

1. Hog HeroIceGolem Cannon

Among all the Clash Royale best Hog Rider decks, this is one of the most popular ones. Your main strategy here is to play Hero Ice Golem and Hog Rider together. The former can slow down enemy defenders with its special ability, while the Hog Rider can continue charging towards enemy buildings and towers. You will then follow up this attack by playing Musketeer Evolution, which can take away long-range targets.

The Evolved Cannons are a solid defensive unit that can help lure attackers. You can also use cheap units like Skeletons and Ice Spirits to defend your tower by luring them away. Log and Fireball are a perfect combo to take out enemies when required, especially troops like Goblins, Skeletons, Wizards, and Witches. You can also consider having a look at our Clash Royale best Hero Mega Minion decks guide to form more combinations.

2. Hog MMiner EvoCannonFurnace

When it comes to the Clash Royale best Hog Rider decks, this deck can be tough to defend against. With Hog Rider leading the helm of your offensive prowess, Evolved Furnace can provide good cover with its fire spirits. Mighty Miners' bomb disposal will be key to taking down enemy towers.

Hero Goblins are great at defense. They can gain the edge offensively if their hero ability is used in the right situation to maximize value. Evolved Cannon's spawn ability can help take down squishy units like Firecracker and Princess from a distance. Lightning and Log are also two great spells that can be used both offensively and defensively.

3. Hog EvoExec HeroGobs Nado

Out of all of these Hog Rider decks in Clash Royale, this one is one of my favorites. Use Hog Rider and Hero Goblins along with Evolved Executioner to build a strong push, as you do in other best Clash Royale Hero Goblins decks. You can also mix in Evolved Valkyrie in Executioner's place, allowing her to slow down enemies and keep them away from Hog Rider.

Rocket remains a consistent source of damage to directly destroy towers. Logs work great against other log bait decks alongside Tornado at keeping enemies at bay. Your Ice Spirit can be useful in luring enemy troops into favorable positions to engage them with your other troops and archer towers.

4. Hog EvoFirecracker HeroGobs Mighty Miner

Firecracker can be the best supporter card for Hog Rider in Clash Royale. The Evolved Firecracker is still better, providing continuous damage over a big area, which is perfect for the Hog Rider to push through enemy defenses and break their towers. Mighty Miner also acts like a tank when you attack, letting Hog push ahead as well.

Hero Goblins work well in both defense and offense with their ability. The Evolved Cannon and the Barbarian Barrel are two great units that can take out annoying squishy characters like the Princess, with the latter also being able to take out ground swarm units. You can also keep the upcoming Hero Barbarian Barrel instead of Hero Goblins once it releases.

5. Hog EvoMKnightFirecracker Witch

The final deck in this list of the best Clash Royale Hog Riders decks is perfect for double, triple, and 7x elixir matches played during Clan War Battle days. An evolved Mega Knight with a Hog Rider can be a deadly combo if you follow them up with a Witch or an evolved Firecracker.

Cannon will be mostly used defensively to stop enemy aggressors in their tracks, followed up with spells or a Mega Knight as defenders. Your spells can be used to support the Hog Rider and take out attackers as well. This is why it's always good to keep some spare elixir to use these spells as countermeasures.

These are my picks for the Clash Royale best Hog Rider decks. I hope you find these decks to be fun to use and experiment with. Also, check out what the upcoming Clash Royale Season 81 has in store for us.
