Princess
Princess overview
Card stats
Description
This stunning Princess shoots flaming arrows from long range. If you're feeling warm feelings towards her, it's probably because you're on fire.
Princess battle strategy
At 3 elixir, Princess plays as a Legendary troop that targets air & ground. Released in 2016, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.
Opening plays and tempo
Lead with Princess when you can float 3 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.
Support combinations
Pair Princess with spells or support troops that amplify a troop's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.
Defensive flip
Hold Princess for air & ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.
Synergies and deck ideas
Cheap cycle cards help you get back to Princess whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.
Mix Princess with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.
Playing around counters
Identify hard counters early
Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut Princess down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.
Spell safety
Avoid stacking Princess near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.
Upgrade priorities
Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling Princess so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
