Your Answer Key
| Most letters | Archetype | Cards the site rates (October 2026) |
| A | Beatdown | Golem best list 68.7%; Giant best list 71.6% |
| B | Control | Poison best list 68.6% |
| C | Cycle | Hog Rider best list 61.2%; Ice Spirit lists 56.7% or more |

If you tie. You are a hybrid. The writer of the original quiz calls himself a mix of Beatdown and Zap-Bait who likes control too.
Be honest. The original rule was simple: no right or wrong answers. If you lie, you only fool yourself.
The math behind the key. The win rates are for the best printed list of each card. They are samples from the site, not promises for your account.
Zoom out. Archetype quizzes are a good start, but a meta shift can make your favorite style weak in one patch. Expect your result to change. Check the card pages for the cards in your style once a month.
What to Do With Your Result
Start here. Read Deck Archetypes: 8 Styles, Easy to Hard and Beatdown, Control and Siege.
Then counter them. How to counter the 7 types helps you see the matchup from the other side.
The general quiz. A second, general knowledge quiz (‘Clash Royale Quiz #2’) was merged below. Its rules were: no search engines, stay on the page, and no tears.
Zoom ahead. New cards can create new styles. If a new card changes how a style wins, a quiz like this will need a new letter, and the old answers will fade.
Zoom in. Players who test a new archetype every season tend to climb faster, because they learn how each style loses. If a quiz makes you try just one new deck, it has done its job.
