Last Updated: October 2026

Key Points:

• Void costs 5 elixir after the August 4, 2026 rework, up from 3. It is an Epic spell and unlocks in Miner’s Mine (Arena 15).
• SeeMeta lists damage on one target up from 340 to 696 and Crown Tower damage down to 97.
• On August 26, the hit frequency went from 1.2 to 1 second.
• RoyaleTracker’s best Void deck won 48.8% over 619 battles.
• No printed Void deck won more than 48.8%.

What Void Does

The short version: Void is a 5-elixir Epic spell. RoyaleTracker’s card text says it creates a field of dark magic that damages all enemy troops and buildings inside, with more damage when fewer targets are in it and reduced damage to Crown Towers. It unlocks in Miner’s Mine (Arena 15).

Void hurts one big target the most. The more enemies stand in it, the less each one takes.

Why the cost looks wrong: the card cost 3 elixir until the August 4, 2026 rework. SeeMeta and the official card data now show 5, but RoyaleTracker’s card text still says 3.

August rework: SeeMeta lists damage per hit before and after. On August 26, the hit frequency went from 1.2 to 1 second.

Void doubled its damage and cost 2 more elixir, but no printed list with it won over 48.8%. If the tracker numbers stay low, Supercell may lower the cost or raise the damage again. The negative effect: a spell that changes every month is hard for players to learn.

Best Void Decks Right Now

RoyaleTracker printed eight Void decks. The best, a Graveyard and Sparky list with Elite Barbarians, won 48.8% over 619 battles. The other seven won between 40.9% and 46.8%.

The pattern: five of the eight lists run Witch, four of them as Evo Witch. The cheapest list, at 3.8 average elixir, won 41.4%, and the heaviest, at 5.3, won 48.8%. What it means: cost alone does not explain the results, and no list has found a clear winning shell.

Try it yourself: open the Clash Royale Deck Builder with the Graveyard, Sparky and Elite Barbarians build in the table above, 48.8% in the tracker sample (619 battles), already loaded. It averages 5.3 elixir, the heaviest list on the page. Swap Lightning for Arrows to lower the cost.

How to Play Void

1. Aim it at one big troop. One target takes 696, while five or more take only 153 each.
2. Do not use it on a tower. Tower damage tops out at 97.
3. Count the 5 elixir. A missed Void leaves you open to a counter-push.
4. Pair it with Witch. Five of the eight printed lists run her.
5. Do not expect a safe pick. No printed list won over 48.8%.

The move: next game, hold Void until they play a tank alone, then drop it on the tank.

The August 26 buff cut the hit frequency from 1.2 to 1 second, and it is the last change on the card. If Supercell wants a winning list, the 5-elixir cost is the next lever. The negative effect: a cheaper Void would compete with Fireball and Poison for the big-spell slot.

How to Counter Void

• Play a swarm next to your tank: more targets means less damage on each, and the tank takes only 153 per hit.
• Do not leave a lone tank: one target takes 696 per hit, the most.
• Bait it: a cheap card draws the 5-elixir spell, then your key card goes down.
• Punish the cost: after they cast it, push the other lane.

The catch: do not rely on the Crown Tower being hit. Tower damage is cut to 97 at most.

Is Void Worth Using Now?

Is it worth it? Not yet. The best list won 48.8%. The catch: seven of the eight printed lists won under 47%, so the doubled damage has not produced a winning deck in the tracker.

What to remember: Void is a 5-elixir answer to one big troop, not a swarm cleaner.

Tanks were buffed through the summer, including Goblin Giant on June 1 and Electro Giant on August 26. If more players run heavy tanks, a spell that hits one target for 696 gets better. The negative effect: Void may stay a counter-pick for tank decks, not a card players run every game.

Go deeper: Void works best against a single big troop, so read the counters to Electro Giant and the Electro Giant guide. For a custom list, the Clash Royale Deck Builder calculates the average cost as each card goes in.
