What Rage Does

The short version: Rage is a 2-elixir Epic spell. RoyaleTracker’s card text says it increases troop movement and attack speed, and buildings attack faster and summon troops quicker too. It unlocks in Arena 14 (Serenity Peak).

It makes your troops faster and hit more often for a few seconds. It does nothing alone.

The June cut: SeeMeta lists Rage’s Crown Tower damage going from 54 to 45 (-16.7%) on June 1, 2026. The same day it lists cuts to Poison, Rocket, The Log and Vines.

Rage lost 16.7% of its tower damage on June 1, along with several other spells. If tower damage keeps falling, Rage becomes pure support. The negative effect: spells that cannot finish a tower push games toward long troop fights, and decks need more cards that win on their own.

Best Rage Decks Right Now

RoyaleTracker printed six Rage decks. The best two, both built around Evo Witch and Arrows, won 60.8% and 60.6%. A third list with Evo Goblin Giant won 56.2% over 2,600 battles.

The pattern: four of the six lists share a Sparky, Electro Wizard and Heal Spirit shell, and they won 44.5% to 56.2%. Heal Spirit is in five of the six lists. The two best lists share only Evo Witch and Arrows. What it means: Rage wins in decks with a heavy troop to speed up, and Evo Witch is the clearest example.

Try it yourself: open the Clash Royale Deck Builder with a Rage list from the Barbarians page (Hog Rider, Evo Executioner and Evo Mega Knight, 48.5% in the tracker sample, 713 battles), already loaded. It averages 4.3 elixir and spends only 2 on Rage. Swap Mighty Miner for Arrows to cover swarms.

How to Play Rage

  1. Cast it on troops that are already attacking. Rage lasts a short time.
  2. Save it for a counter-push. Cast it as your troops cross the river.
  3. Pair it with heavy hitters. The two best lists run Evo Witch.
  4. Do not use it on a single troop. It works best on a group.
  5. Remember the tower damage. Rage barely hurts a tower now.

The move: next game, hold Rage until your tank and Witch are in place, then cast it on the full push.

Heal Spirit lost hitpoints on August 4, from 230 to 215, and it is in five of the six printed lists. The negative effect: another Heal Spirit cut would hit most Rage decks at once, and a shell that wins 56.2% could drop quickly.

How to Play Against Rage

  • Kill the troops under it. Rage ends, but the troops stay.
  • Use a swarm. Skeleton Army or Goblin Gang hold a raged push for a few seconds.
  • Use a spell on the group. Arrows or Zap kills weak raged troops.
  • Remember the price. Rage costs 2, so it is cheap for them to cast.

The catch: do not wait for the rage to end. A fast raged push can reach your tower first.

Is Rage Worth Using Now?

Is it worth it? In the right deck, yes. The best two lists won 60.8% and 60.6%. The catch: as a finisher, no. Its tower damage is only 45.

What to remember: Rage helps a push, but it does not win the game alone.

Evo Witch sits in both 60% lists and was reworked on August 4: hitpoints up 39.5%, but healing now only comes from her first Skeleton wave. Both lists also run Arrows, whose tower damage fell 19.4% on June 1. The negative effect: a rework that lifts one number and caps another can swing a card either way, so the 60% lists may not hold.
