Golem Beatdown Clash Royale Guide — Deck, Double Elixir Push & Strategy 2025
Complete Golem Beatdown guide for Clash Royale: full deck list, when to push, how to defend, Night Witch synergy and counters.
Golem Beatdown is one of Clash Royale's most powerful late-game archetypes. The deck is built around surviving single elixir, then constructing an overwhelming push in double elixir that most defenses cannot stop. The Golem tanks; Night Witch and Lumberjack amplify the damage.
The Deck
| Card | Elixir | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Golem | 8 | Primary tank |
| Night Witch | 4 | Bat swarm; support DPS |
| Lumberjack | 4 | Rages Golem on death |
| Mega Minion | 3 | Air DPS; versatile defense |
| Electro Dragon | 5 | Inferno Dragon counter |
| Baby Dragon | 4 | AoE sweep; supports push |
| Lightning | 6 | Removes Inferno Tower + support |
| Tornado | 3 | King Tower activation; pulls |
Average Elixir: ~4.6
Single Elixir: Survive
Your only goal in single elixir: don't give up towers. Defend with Mega Minion, Baby Dragon, and Electro Dragon. Don't Golem — it's too expensive and your elixir income can't sustain the investment plus defense.
Double Elixir: The Push
- Drop Golem in the back (King Tower position) with 10 elixir.
- Stack Night Witch behind Golem while it walks.
- Add Lumberjack at the river crossing.
- Lightning: remove their Inferno Tower or high-value defensive card.
The push arrives with Golem tanking, Night Witch spawning bats, and the Lumberjack's Rage activating on death.
Countering Inferno
The biggest threat to Golem: Inferno Tower / Inferno Dragon. Solutions:
- Electro Dragon: Stuns and resets Inferno ramping damage.
- Tornado: Pulls Inferno Tower off the Golem (temporarily).
- Lightning: Destroys Inferno Tower outright (Lightning + another card = wipe their defense).
