Deck Check Rating
Deck Check explained
Deck Check is a good way to quickly check if your deck has problems. It’s not perfect, and it can’t be since Clash Royale is a dynamic and sophisticated game. It also depends on skill. A pro with a bad deck can beat a bad player with a good deck. However, it should give you a good idea if your deck is good or not.
Defense Defensive potential
How well you should be able to defend enemy attacks with this deck. It is calculated by looking at your defensive cards and their synergy.
Attack Offensive potential
How strong your deck is on offense. It is calculated from the cards that are able to deal damage to your opponent's towers.
Versatility Deck versatility
How is the deck able to defend against various things (swarms, tanks, certain units)? Calculated by looking at the counters to all cards in your deck.
Synergy Deck synergy
Synergy of the deck cards. How well they work together, both on offense and defense. This is the most important rating.
Problems + Warnings
Important part of the deck rating. Decks can have a good rating but have a problem for that can make it unusable. You always need to look at it together.
Deck tips
Following recommendations are only guidelines on how to improve your deck. It may work fine as it is.
| Warning |
No way to deal with the opponent's pump!
When your opponent plays Elixir collector, you have to be able to react accordingly or you're letting him accumulate elixir and then use it against you. Consider adding one of these:

| Warning |
No medium or high-damage spell.
It is good to have one medium or high-damage spell in your deck. You can use it to finish opponent's tower or against units clumped together. Consider adding one of these:

Ladder info
Some cards can be both level-independent and weak/strong when under/overleveled. Example: A lower-level Ice Golem doesn't kill Skarmy, so it's 'Weak'. However, in other aspects such as tanking, it works perfectly fine on lower levels.
Level-independent
Cards that are good even on lower level. Their key stats are not influenced by the level too much and no key interactions are level-dependent.
Strong when overleveled
Cards that are particularly strong if you have them on higher level. Their key interactions with some cards are changed when they are level or two above the other card.
Free-to-play score
For a quick orientation about how easy it is to level up the deck for free-to-play players. The more epics and legendaries it contains, the lower the score.
