Get to Legendary Arena with Arena 5 Cards at Level 8!

Hello my friends, today I am going to give you another impressive Arena 8 deck from JesusSlark. A few weeks ago, he shared a deck which helped him successfully push to Arena 7 at just level 6! You may want to take a look for that deck at here.

Okay back to our new deck today, he has been using this deck to push to 3100+ trophies as a free to play level 8 players. There is just a small note here for you: Because of the meta games in arenas are different, this deck is designed to be used at 2900+ trophies!

Get to Legendary with Arena 5 Cards

General Game Plan

On Offense

Bait out your opponent’s AoE Spells by defending with your Minion Horde. Place your Giant Skeleton near the bridge. While your Giant Skeleton is soaking damage from the Tower, drop your Goblin Barrel right onto that Tower. You may also want to use Spear Goblins to deal additional damage. They always can deal a large amount of damage when get protected well, just don’t underestimate them! This is definitely an insane combo since your opponent has to deal with these dangerous threats at the same time.
Use Goblin Barrel to bait out AoE Spells (Arrows, Fireball,…) -> Counter opponent’s push with your Minion Horde -> Place your Giant Skeleton right in front of your Minions for a quick counter push.
High Risk = High Reward: Drop Goblin Barrel right on top of the Tower, followed by Minion Horde at the bridge. Your opponent will use his AoE Spell on your Goblins and won’t have anything to take out your Minion Horde. You can back up this strategy with a Zap in case your opponent uses small troops to lure. This is very easy counterable strategy so I recommend using it once per battle.
Drop your Giant Skeleton at the back of your King’s Tower, let him walk up to the bridge before using your Goblin Barrel, then quickly place your Minion Horde behind Giant Skeleton.

On defense

Hog Riders: Place the Cannon down.
Hog Rider + Goblins: Place Cannon down + Zap backup troops.
Hog Rider + Goblins + Freeze: Place Cannon down + Zap backup troops + place Minion Horde once opponent has used Freeze.
P.E.K.K.A/Golem: Use one of four combos in the “On offense” section above on the other lane + Place down Inferno Tower.
Three Musketeer: Place down Inferno Tower to deal with tankers + drop Giant Skeleton in the middle to lure Musketeers = easy matchup.
Prince? Cannon + Skeleton!
Dual Prince? Cannon + Minion Horde + Skeletons. Don’t care about Arrows! Most of the time it will come too late.
Hut Decks? Play defensively and immediately launch a big push on the other lane once the opponent has placed down Barbarian Hut.
Mortar Decks: There are 2 options for you:
1. Throw Goblin Barrel on the Tower to bait out Arrows -> Destroy Mortar with Minion Horde.
2. Place down Cannon at near the bridge to destroy Mortar, alongside with Spear Goblins and Skeletons -> Use Zap If your opponent places down support troops.
Balloon? Use either Inferno Tower, Minion Horde or Cannon + Spear Goblins.

Some other tips for you:

Zap or Arrows? If you are having a lot of troubles with Princess, replace Zap with Arrows! However, truly the Princess is pretty easy to countered once she has locked on to the Tower. The Arrows is pretty slow to stop Princess from taking down Minion Horde or Goblin Barrel. Zap gives you more versatility on both offense and defense with quicker cast time + better Elixir cost.
Most of the time, people forget playing them behind the Giant Skeleton to deal a lot of additional damage. This is an awesome card and can be used in almost every situation!

Okay guys I hope you have found this Arena 8 deck helpful! Do you have any question? Don’t hesitate to ask! I will answer every single comment!
