Firecracker is easily one of the best ranged attackers in Clash Royale and she’s versatile enough to be a part of many decks. Here’s a list of the best Firecracker decks in Clash Royale for you to win trophies as well as challenges like Firecracker Fireworks.

There are many reasons why Clash Royale players love the Firecracker. She belongs to Common rarity, requires just three Elixir for deployment, and deals a ton of damage. You can use this card offensively and defensively and get outstanding results.

The Firecracker shoots a firework that explodes upon contact and damages troops/buildings behind the original target too. The power of this firework is so massive that the Firecracker takes some steps back after firing and reloads her weapon.

Having said that, no card in Clash Royale is good enough if you don’t have a deck that balances out its shortcomings. The Firecracker is no exception, and here’s a list of the best Firecracker decks in Clash Royale.

Best Firecracker decks in Clash Royale

Firecracker Bowler deck

Firecracker Bowler deck in Clash Royale

The Bowler Cart Nado deck in Clash Royale has the following cards:

  • Bowler
  • Cannon Cart
  • Fire Spirit
  • Fireball
  • Firecracker
  • Goblin Barrel
  • Tornado
  • Skeletons

How to play:

The dynamic duo of Bowler and Firecracker is a nightmare for opponents in Clash Royale. You can further improve the efficiency of these cards with Tornado which happens to be one of the best spells in the game.

The goal here is to use the Goblin Barrel with the Bowler. The former is not only your main source of damage but it also helps in wasting spells such as Arrows and Poison that otherwise would have targeted your Firecracker.

The Skeletons and Fire Spirits help in making the rotations quicker and apart from battles against the Graveyard, you shouldn’t have many problems.

Royal Hogs Mirror Firecracker deck

Firecracker Royal Delivery deck in Clash Royale

The Royal Hogs Mirror deck in Clash Royale contains these cards:

  • Firecracker
  • Royal Delivery
  • Hunter
  • Barbarians
  • Mirror
  • Earthquake
  • Royal Hogs
  • Electro Spirit

How to play:

YouTuber SirTagCR rightly called this the most annoying deck in Clash Royale. Some of the best players in the world have used it so you don’t have to worry about it surviving in the topmost arenas.

The Hunter and Firecracker take care of the defense in this deck while the Mirror and Royal Hogs make a potent attacking combo. Toward the end of a battle, you can always Mirror Royal Hogs and unleash eight Royal Hogs to surprise the opponent.

For just three Elixir, the Royal Delivery provides great air and ground defense and the Electro Spirit can help you pause enemy attacks. Lastly, you can use the Barbarians before the Firecracker as a tank and keep the latter safe.

Hog Rider EQ Firecracker deck

Hog Rider Firecracker Earthquake deck in Clash Royale

The Hog Rider Earthquake deck in Clash Royale contains the following cards:

  • Firecracker
  • The Log
  • Hog Rider
  • Valkyrie
  • Skeletons
  • Tesla
  • Ice Spirit
  • Earthquake

How to play:

The Firecracker, Tesla, and Valkyrie are the most important defense cards in this deck. The low Elixir requirement should allow you to constantly rotate cards and place the Hog Rider.

The Log and Earthquake are great for offense as well as defense and they can be paired with the Hog Rider to make a strong and quick counter. The Ice Spirit and Skeletons are there to lure opponent troops and make the rotations quicker.

You can also use Valkyrie as a tank in this deck by placing her before the Hog Rider. Once you get the hang of it, the Hog Rider EQ deck can be really beneficial in Clash Royale.
