AI Overview: The best Evo Giant decks in Clash Royale for Season 89 pair the evolved Giant with one big support push. Evo Giant plays like a normal Giant until he drops to half health, then attacks faster and rages the troops behind him. RoyaleTracker samples show Giant Sparky at 67.7%, Giant Graveyard at 59.7% and Giant Double Prince at 70.2%, all from small battle counts.
Last Updated: November 2026
Half a health bar used to mean your Giant was running out of road. In the Season 89 meta, that is when Evo Giant gets dangerous. The trick is picking eight cards that cash in before he goes down.
Quick pick: Giant Sparky for a big counterpush, Giant Graveyard for a second way to damage the tower, or Giant Double Prince for a cheap cycle. Win rates below come from RoyaleTracker samples of 167 to 385 battles, so treat them as a guide, not a promise.
Key Points:
- Evo Giant costs 5 elixir and plays like the regular Giant until he drops to half health.
- After that he attacks faster, and a rage bubble behind him boosts every troop walking with him.
- Keep support close enough to catch the boost, but spread out enough that one spell cannot wreck the push.
- Sample sizes are small. A 70% win rate over under 200 battles can fall fast as more players copy a deck.

How Evo Giant works
Evo Giant costs 5 elixir, the same as the normal Giant. Once he falls to half health, his attacks speed up and a rage bubble appears behind him, so every troop walking behind him gets raged too. Check the card info screen in the game for how many cycles you need before the Evolution shows up in your hand.
That makes support placement the whole game. Keep your support close enough to catch the boost, with enough space between troops that one spell cannot wipe them out. Our Giant guide covers the Hero version and how opponents counter the card.
The three builds side by side
Click any row to open that deck in the Clash Royale Deck Builder. The builder does not have the Evo Giant art yet, so it shows and loads the normal Giant. Win rates are RoyaleTracker samples.
| Build | Cards | Avg elixir | Win rate (sample) |
| Giant Sparky: Evo Minion Horde, Hero Mini P.E.K.K.A | 3.8 | 67.7% (167 battles) | |
| Giant Graveyard: Evo Witch, Hero Bowler | 4.0 | 59.7% (385 battles) | |
| Giant Double Prince: Evo Bats, Hero Dark Prince | 3.4 | 70.2% (178 battles) |
1. Evo Giant Sparky for the biggest counterpush
Evo Giant (5), Evo Minion Horde (5), Hero Mini P.E.K.K.A (4), Skeleton Army (3), Sparky (6), Bats (2), Arrows (3) and Zap (2). The sample shows 67.7% over 167 battles, with an average cost of 3.8.
Let Sparky defend a ground push. If it survives, put Giant in front as it approaches the bridge. Skeleton Army and Bats are cheap cards that help you pay for Sparky, and Arrows and Zap open a lane through a swarm. Wait until you know what spell your opponent is holding before committing Minion Horde. Our Sparky guide explains how to keep it alive long enough to fire.
The trap: A reset can buy your opponent time to wipe the support troops. A surviving Sparky is a reason to counterpush. A Sparky you have to place from scratch behind Giant is a much bigger bill.
Expect Giant Sparky to draw early attention while players learn the new Rage timing. If it stays popular, cheap resets and spells that clear its support should become more common. That could make the deck feel worse a week after launch even if Giant gets no balance change. Watch what opponents are bringing before you spend shards on a second Evolution.
2. Evo Giant Graveyard for a second way to win
Evo Giant (5), Evo Witch (5), Hero Bowler (5), Guards (3), Zappies (4), Arrows (3), Graveyard (5) and Giant Snowball (2). The sample shows 59.7% over 385 battles, with an average cost of 4.0.
Put Giant ahead of whichever defender survives. Guards and Zappies give the push some cheap support, and Bowler handles ground traffic. Cast Graveyard once the tower is locked onto Giant or a surviving troop and you know what can stop the skeletons. Arrows and Giant Snowball can clear or displace some defenders, depending on what the opponent drops.
The trap: Giant’s Rage is local. Skeletons spawning around a distant tower can miss the boost entirely. If the opponent holds Poison for every Graveyard, try a cheaper Giant counterpush first and see if they spend Poison on the support. Our Poison guide shows what that spell punishes.
If defensive buildings become more common this month, Giant Graveyard could become a better fallback for players already comfortable with the spell. It gives them another way to chip a tower when Giant gets pulled. The downside is a thinner margin for error if opponents also start saving Poison for Graveyard. A bad matchup can turn into two expensive cards sitting in hand.
3. Evo Giant Double Prince for a cheap cycle
Evo Giant (5), Evo Bats (2), Hero Dark Prince (4), Prince (5), Spear Goblins (2), Goblin Gang (3), Fireball (4) and Zap (2). The sample shows 70.2% over 178 battles, with an average cost of 3.4.
Prince handles sturdy ground targets while Dark Prince clears small troops. When one survives on defense, put Giant in front and make your opponent answer both. The cheap cards keep your cycle fast, so a failed push is easier to rebuild. Need the basics? Our Prince guide and Dark Prince deck guide go deeper.
The trap: This deck has no defensive building and leans on Fireball and Zap for support. Against heavy air, hold Fireball for the right moment instead of spending it on the first target. It is easier to assemble if your Princes are already leveled.
Double Prince may age better than the flashier builds for players with an established collection. Cheap cycle cards can still earn value if Giant’s early popularity fades. The risk is the small sample: a 70% win rate over under 200 battles can drop quickly as more players copy the deck and opponents learn to answer it. A run of air-heavy opponents can make that upgrade bill feel especially rough.
Which Evo Giant deck should you try first?
Before spending gold, compare the levels of your eight cards with the ones you usually face. An underleveled support troop can turn a clean defense into a scramble. Practice the first push in a friendly match. Start with a normal Giant, defend the next attack, and see whether your evolved push comes together without emptying your hand.
Start with Double Prince if you want the cheapest cycle. Choose Sparky if you already have its Hero and an Evolution for Minion Horde and enjoy defending into one big push. Pick Graveyard if you know when to hold your spell and want another route to tower damage.
Open the best-sampled build in the Clash Royale Deck Builder and swap cards to see how the average elixir moves. Season 89 balance shifts are covered in our November balance update recap.
Give your pick a few games in the mode you actually play. When a push fails, check the replay for one thing. Did Giant get pulled away, did the backline get spelled out, or did you run out of elixir? Fix the mistake that keeps showing up before changing the whole deck.
