How to use Poison effectively in Clash Royale

Poison can be a really big game changer if used properly in Clash Royale. Here's how to make it work for you. Slow things down

Poison deals damage over time, but it also has the advantage of slowing down all troops in its radius.

This makes it an effective card for Hut decks, since it damages and slows the spawn rate of all units that come out of them.

Poison is also a good defensive card, since its slowing and damaging capabilities can help your crown towers fend for themselves.

Lots of units caught in Poison and taking fire from towers go down relatively quickly, which can result in some big Elixir trades.
