Clash Royale Musketeer Card Review

Unlock: Training Camp

Description: Don’t be fooled by her delicately coiffed hair; the Musketeer is a mean shot with her trusty boomstick.

The Musketeer is a long-range (6.5 tiles) cannon shooter card in Clash Royale. She works best with a front-line tank of either the Giant, Giant Skeleton or Knight to spearhead an attack. She has low health points and needs to be protected.

The Musketeer is also a specialist in air units. Remember that the Musketeer doesn’t get distracted once she locks on a target. Also, Musketeer is a good option if you want a ranged alternative to the Archers.

Useful Combos

Musketeer + Giant – A good combo at nine elixir costs. Your Musketeer can DPS from behind while your giant tanks any incoming melee damage. This can be countered by directly dropping melee troops on the Musketeer, but only if they are within your base.

Musketeer + Knight – A slightly weaker version at seven elixir costs. Knight is less tanky and dies quicker, but it is still a viable combo.

Musketeer + Giant Skeleton – Great troop clearer and will give you an upper hand in having a strong push. It does cost a whooping ten elixir, though.

Musketeer + Small Troop Rush – A good combo for the lower-level arena. It does much damage once you stack up a wave of small troops. Arrows easily counter this.

Musketeer + Prince – With Musketeer’s long range, she has no problem keeping up with the fast Prince—a definite tower-destroying combo.

Direct Counters to Musketeer

Mini PEKKA – Drop one of these bad boys on top of her if she enters your base.

Fireball – This almost removes the Musketeer, depending on your fireball level. For three elixir costs, it’s a great trade.
