Elixir Barrel Challenge Decks in Clash Royale (Barrels o’ Fun)

So there’s a special game mode in Clash Royale running from November 13–20, 2023 called the Barrels o’ Fun or Elixir Barrel challenge. It’s a bit of a right kerfuffle, as you’ll need to defend your Elixir barrels, which pop up randomly in the middle of your base, while also trying to nab Elixir from your opponent’s barrels.

The twist? You can only get Elixir from these barrels, so it’s a right strategic bunfight.

To be victorious, you’ll need a deck that can protect your Elixir barrels from your opponent’s attacks while also pinching their Elixir.

Best cards to use in this challenge:
