How to use Rocket effectively in Clash Royale


The Rocket is expensive - but for good reason, as it does a ton of damage. Here's how to use that to your advantage. Timing is everything
It's hard to make a decent Elixir trade with the Rocket, as it it costs six Elixir and has a very small blast radius.
Try to master the timing so your Rockets can hit a bunch of tough units in slow pushes or try to hit a tower and unit at once.
Alternatively, you can use it to chip away at towers while focusing on defence.
Take out critical unitsSome opponents build decks that rely on one or two strong cards to win the day. Golems and P.E.K.K.A.s, for example, can be easily destroyed by the Rocket, and you'll gain an Elixir advantage.
