Clash Royale tier list: Ranking every card in the game

Spells have always been polarizing in Clash Royale. Losing because your opponent did nothing but spam spells cards to your tower can be annoying, to put it lightly. Throughout the game's history, spells' tower damage has been nerfed significantly. And some spells like earthquake needed a separate nerf, and they're still strong in the game.

Still, they're part of the game, so upgrading the best spells will help you a long way on battles in the arena. Here is a Clash Royale tier list of best spell cards!
