Description

Together they charge through the Arena; snaring enemies, knocking down towers... and chewing grass!?

Ram Rider battle strategy

At 5 elixir, Ram Rider plays as a Legendary troop that targets buildings. Released in 2018, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.

Opening plays and tempo

Lead with Ram Rider when you can float 5 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.

Support combinations

Pair Ram Rider 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 Ram Rider for buildings 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 Ram Rider whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.

Mix Ram Rider 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 Ram Rider down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.

  • Spell safety

    Avoid stacking Ram Rider 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 Ram Rider so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
