Role in Your Deck
In competitive play, Battle Ram is primarily used as a Win Condition, Cycle, Fast Attacker unit. Identifying a card's role before adding it to a deck ensures you don't double up on functions and leave yourself vulnerable in other areas.
Strengths
- Strong synergy with multiple meta cards (Pekka, Mini Pekka)
- Directly counters several common threats: Cannon, Tombstone
- Easier to upgrade due to lower rarity — you'll find copies more frequently from chests and the shop
Weaknesses
- At 4 elixir, you'll sometimes be forced to make uncomfortable choices between offense and defense
- Countered by Cannon and Tombstone, which are both common in the current meta
Best Synergies
Battle Ram pairs especially well with Pekka, Mini Pekka, Zap, Log. These cards either protect it from its hardest counters, amplify its damage output, or create dual-lane threats that are nearly impossible to defend simultaneously.

Advanced Tip
