Why this deck works
Place Giant in the back of your side to let elixir build, then add Musketeer or Mini P.E.K.K.A behind it as it marches forward. The Goblin Cage sits on defence and spawns a Brawler to slow anything coming your way. Use Fireball on groups of troops and Arrows on swarms blocking your push.

Why this deck works
The Giant absorbs tower fire while Minions and Musketeer deal damage from behind. Minions especially handle any ground troops trying to intercept the push. Start every push from the back of your side and layer support troops behind the Giant. Fireball clears defenders and chips the tower at the same time.

Why this deck works
No Giant here. Defend with Knight and Goblin Cage, then ride surviving troops forward into a counter-push. Wait for your opponent to spend elixir attacking, then push back with Mini P.E.K.K.A and cheap support troops behind it. At 0-400 trophies this punishes opponents who overcommit on offence.

Why this deck works
Giant tanks at the front while Musketeer and Archers provide steady ranged fire from behind, simple but hard to stop at 0-400 trophies. Arrows is your only spell, so save it to clear Goblins or Minions threatening your Musketeer. Knight and Spear Goblins cycle you back to Giant quickly between pushes.
Trophy Range
What trophies do you need for Arena 1?
Goblin Stadium runs from 0 to 300 trophies and is where every player starts. The cards available here include the core starting set: Knight, Archers, Goblins, Spear Goblins, Giant, Mini P.E.K.K.A, and Musketeer. These six cards form the backbone of most beginner push decks.
Best Decks
What decks work best in Arena 1?
Simple Giant push decks dominate at this level. Place Giant at the back and stack Musketeer or Mini P.E.K.K.A behind it as it crosses. Opponents rarely have strong defensive answers at 0 to 300 trophies, so a tank plus one or two ranged troops wins most games consistently.
How to Climb
How do I climb out of Arena 1?
Pick one deck and stay with it. Switching decks every few games hurts more than it helps at this level. Focus on one habit: always place your Giant in the back of your side to build elixir, not at the bridge. That single change improves almost every game.
