What Wins in 2v2
In 2v2 you and your partner fight two players, and the team shares its elixir. That changes what a good deck looks like. A big push costs the team, not just you, and a partner’s cheap defense can save your tower. The tracker’s own note says the format favors heavier pushes, splash damage and defensive buildings.
The short version: in 2v2, play a deck that fits a shared elixir bar. Cheap cycle decks and fast Bridge Spam both win, and the worst lists are the slow siege ones. The catch: your partner’s deck matters as much as yours.
What changed: SeeMeta lists many 2026 changes that touch these lists. Royal Ghost lost hitpoints on October 6 (1,210 to 1,152). Minion Giant lost damage on September 16 and hit speed on October 6. Evo Cannon‘s barrage damage fell from 281 to 261 on October 6, and Ice Golem lost hitpoints on September 8. What it means: the top lists run on parts that were all trimmed this fall.
Royal Ghost or Minion Giant is in four of the five best lists. If either is cut again, the top of the 2v2 chart will move. The negative effect: a format that rewards a small group of cards changes fast when one of them is nerfed.
Best 2v2 Decks Right Now
Five lists won above 60%. Bridge Spam with Evo Battle Ram, Evo Royal Ghost and Electro Wizard won 68.0% over 2,206 battles. The Rune Giant cycle won 67.2% over 4,019. A Goblinstein and Goblin Hut list won 65.6% over 1,383, a Goblinstein and Bomb Tower list won 62.8% over 1,057, and a Graveyard Tornado list won 61.5% over 1,094.
| Build | Cards | Avg elixir | Win rate (sample) |
| Bridge Spam: Evo Battle Ram and Evo Royal Ghost | 3.8 | 68.0% (2,206 battles) | |
| Rune Giant cycle: Evo Bats and Evo Cannon | 2.9 | 67.2% (4,019 battles) | |
| Goblinstein with Goblin Hut and Evo Royal Ghost | 3.4 | 65.6% (1,383 battles) | |
| Goblinstein with Bomb Tower and Lightning | 3.3 | 62.8% (1,057 battles) | |
| Graveyard Tornado with Hero Tombstone | 3.4 | 61.5% (1,094 battles) | |
| X-Bow with Evo Archers and Evo Tesla | 3.0 | 43.5% (1,149 battles) |
The pattern: the winners are either fast and cheap or built around one strong unit with a building. The slow siege list, X-Bow, won 43.5%. What it means: your partner can cover a slow card, but the team shares elixir, so a siege deck costs both of you. Still unknown: these are single decks, and the tracker does not print partner pairs.
Try it yourself: open the Clash Royale Deck Builder with the Evo Battle Ram and Evo Royal Ghost Bridge Spam build in the table above already loaded. It averages 3.6 elixir. This exact list is not in the tracker sample, so it has no win rate; it is the 68.0% list with Furnace swapped for Cannon.
How to Play 2v2
- Talk to your partner. Use emotes to say when you are about to push.
- Count the team elixir. A 5-elixir play hurts both of you.
- Cover one lane each. Do not both defend the same side.
- Split the push. Send a Bridge Spam threat on one side while your partner defends.
- Save a small spell. Zap or The Log is the cheapest save.
Evo Cannon drives the gap in the five Hog cycle lists: the four with it won 50.3% to 55.0%, and the one with a plain Cannon won 44.0%. If Evo Cannon is adjusted again, the chart can flip. The negative effect: players who built around an Evolution that gets cut may have to relearn the deck.
How to Counter the Top 2v2 Decks
- Against Bridge Spam: keep a swarm like Skeleton Army and a building in the middle.
- Against the Rune Giant cycle: do not chase Skeletons and Bats; save Fireball for value.
- Against Goblinstein: kill the doctor, then the monster follows.
- Against Graveyard: keep Poison or a swarm ready for the tower.
The catch: in 2v2 the other side has two answers, so one counter play does not stop a push.
Are These 2v2 Decks Worth Using Now?
Is it worth it? Yes. Fourteen of 18 lists won more than 50%, and five won more than 60%. The catch: four lists lost, including the X-Bow list at 43.5%, and no pair has a published win rate.
Goblinstein appears in two of the five best lists, and SeeMeta lists it as reworked on August 4 and cut on August 26 and September 16. If it is cut again, both lists lose their main card. The negative effect: a champion that moves every few weeks makes a 2v2 deck hard to settle.

Hey guys, SCorpSCilla here, back at it again with a brand new 2v2 deck. With 2v2 battles, it is easy to crush your opponents with large pushes, or vice versa, and at the same time it is hard to destroy your enemy. Plus sometimes we might not have the brightest partners in the world. Never fear! This new meta deck will do just the job. You can also use this deck in 1v1 as well.\
Behold, my P.E.K.K.A BS deck!
P.E.K.K.A BS Deck for 2v2 Battles
Now some people might say that this is a variation of other “phantom decks”, but I don’t think so.
For one, I started using this deck three months ago, way before bridge spam and phantom, so the originality is pretty clear. Also the deck that Surprizmadafaqua made, the Lumberloon deck which I inspired, also relied heavily on bridge spamming (tho he mistakenly called it cycling), and that was almost half a year ago! And also the VERY FIRST deck I made, Elite barbs Cycle, was also mainly bridge spam (a little chip too)!
Two, I don’t use Night Witch in this. Surprised? Also just to clarify, the full name of the deck is called the P.E.K.K.A Bridge Spam (my friends thought is was P.E.K.K.A is b- yu get what I’m saying right?).
Let’s get into it!
Card Breakdown
P.E.K.K.A: Now with the one second deploy time, the P.E.K.K.A is a beast on defense. With its massive amount of hitpoint, it can take out an entire push and then make for a deadly counter push.
P.E.K.K.A should not be used as a win condition in this Deck, but instead should be used to take out tanks like Golem, Giant, Hog, and then be coupled with support troops to create for a potent counter push. Your opponent would be low on Elixir from just doing a push, and you will be able to punish him with a P.E.K.K.A push coming down the lane. This beast can survive 3 musketeers, so he can definetely help with a push.
Battle Ram: In a deck like this, you want to rush with Battle Ram+support the moment the opponent drops something heavy in the back like a Giant, Golem, Sparky ect, or you can support the PEKKA with this beast. Its your choice, not mine 🙂
Usually, you should couple the Ram with Ice Spirit. This way, your opponent will have to spend Elixir to defend your push and wont have Elixir to support their investment in the back.
Bandit: After the buff, the Bandit is unstoppable.
Every body is using her and she can clutch dash damage even with low health. She is great when paired with Battle Ram or P.E.K.K.A to easily take out glass cannons that the opponent uses to stop your push, or can be used on defense to pick off support troops.
If you have already gotten one tower, you can place her in the middle of your opponent’s side to dash in for chip damage. It will only get two to four shots, but that chip damage is both key and big, especially since your opponent isn’t expecting a bandit to dash so fast and can’t defend fast enough (evil laugh).
Poison: Your main damage dealing spell. Use it on offense coupled with your Battle Ram or P.E.K.K.A to take out cheap swarm cards or get value by clipping the Tower and taking out glass cannons.
Not much to say but it helps to prevent cheap cards from shutting down your push and is also good for some chip damage.
Don’t hesitate to use it on defense when needed, especially against night witches (angry face)
Ice Spirit: Ice Spirit has been an extremely popular card lately as it can reset a Battle Ram’s charge, and can Freeze your opponents counter to Battle Ram giving it the charge hit.
You should almost always pair your Ice Spirit with Battle Ram as it will give a much better shot at the Ram landing the charge strike. Also Ice spirit can help defend a push really good, such as freezing an Inferno Dragon locked on to my PEKKA.
Mega Minion: Pretty standard air defense. The flying glass cannon.
Not much to say. Just use it mostly on defense.
Log- Duh!
Just remember while doing 1v1 to read your opponent’s hand.
For more details, read Karios’ guide to count cards.
Dart Goblin: I wanna talk about this special card.
For the very weakness of this deck is mostly Lavaloon, the last card you wanna place in this deck is a weak air defense.
However there are some reasons I choose the real MVP of all cards:
- Chip damage! Place it at the bridge with 1 shot health and it gets two shots off the tower with the power of a single muskie shot. Full health dart gob at the bridge is a god at the chip damage.
- Long range! While yes you can replace this goblin with the Night witch for less bridge and more SPAM!, you are vulnerable to poison decks which takes out the Bats. With Dart Gob, you can literally place him right in front of the king tower and he can just sit there, chipping away in defense, safe with the fact that your opponent can accidentally activate the king tower if they try to counter the dart goblin.
- Fast hit speed! This is important against Graveyard. The Dart Goblin can completely shut down the graveyard as long as it is protected. Otherwise, no DG? Good game!
- Log bait! In 2v2, your opponent may run a spell bait deck like RSivak’s Graveyard Spell bait deck, so a Dart Gob at the bridge can start off with both opponents spending their logs, so that’s great for your teammate!
Matchups
Now some matchups!
Lavaloon: The Hardest Match up, but you shouldn’t panic as long as you cycle back to your Mega Minion, Dart Goblin, and Ice Spirit extensively. Also you should pressure the other lane with your bandit/battle ram so that the push should never happen in the first place. Also there are times when you should realize that the best option is to draw.
Golem: Very easy. The PEKKA shreds anything (except Lavahound :/) just use poison for the Night Witch extensively.
3 Muskies: Also (kind of) easy, since yur PEKKA can hold out against the two muskies, and you can use ice spirit and other stuff (i tend to use word a lot) for the single one.
Spell bait– Use Ice spirit, DG, and Log extensively.
Bridge Spam– Spam your bridge spam at the bridge for a bridge spam push before they spam bridge spam at their bridge for a bridge spam push. (‘TF ?)
Giant- Also Pekka and stuff- basically like countering Golem decks.
Gravy- Use DG or poison on their Gravy to turn it into Skelly soup. 😀
Hog- Also easy. Use your Mega Minion/ Bandit + Ice spirit to stop not too many hits. Remember the goal is to overwhelm your opponent by double elixir.
Deck Composition
- P.E.K.K.A: The powerhouse of the deck. P.E.K.K.A serves as your primary tank and damage dealer, capable of shredding through even the toughest defenses. Place her behind your King Tower to build a massive push.
- Battle Ram: This is your primary win condition. Battle Ram, supported by P.E.K.K.A, can break through enemy defenses and deal significant tower damage. Use it to pressure your opponent and force them to split their resources.
- Bandit: Bandit provides quick and efficient pressure, capable of dashing through enemy troops and reaching the tower. She works exceptionally well with the Battle Ram.
- Electro Wizard: A versatile card that can support both offense and defense. Electro Wizard’s spawn stun and zap attack are perfect for dealing with swarm units and stunning enemy troops.
- Baby Dragon: The Baby Dragon offers splash damage to handle swarms and support your pushes. Its synergy with Tornado makes it a great addition to the deck.
- Tornado: Use Tornado to control the battlefield, pulling enemy troops together for the Baby Dragon or P.E.K.K.A to annihilate. It’s also excellent for defending against large pushes.
- Zap: A cheap and effective spell to deal with small swarms, reset Inferno Towers, and support your troops.
- Minions: Minions provide air support and can quickly take down enemy troops and defenses.
Strategy and Tips
Early Game: Start by playing defensively, allowing your opponent to make the first move. Use cheap cards like Minions and Zap to deal with any initial threats. If your opponent overcommits, counter with a quick Battle Ram push supported by the Bandit or Electro Wizard.
Mid Game: By now, you should have a feel for your opponent’s deck. Begin building up bigger pushes. Place P.E.K.K.A behind your King Tower and support her with the Electro Wizard and Baby Dragon. Use Tornado to group enemy troops for maximum splash damage.
Late Game: In the double elixir phase, unleash your full potential. Create unstoppable pushes by stacking your P.E.K.K.A with Battle Ram and Bandit, supported by spells and splash damage units. Maintain constant pressure and don’t give your opponents room to breathe.
2v2 Specific Tips:
- Communication: Use quick chat to coordinate with your partner. Let them know when you plan to push or defend.
- Support Each Other: Complement your partner’s strategy. If they play a tank, support with damage dealers and spells.
- Split Damage: Share the defensive duties. One player can handle ground troops while the other focuses on air defense.
