Buildings can play a pivotal role in how well your deck performs in Clash Royale.
Besides regular Troops, there are also mighty buildings in Clash Royale. They are grounded structures that you can deploy in the Arena to beef up your defenses or go on the offensive with.
If you're thinking of using these cards in your deck, then this tier list will come in incredibly handy. In it, we've ranked all of the building cards in Clash Royale from best to worst. Use these details to get the most optimal picks for your decks!
All Buildings in Clash Royale, Ranked
There are currently 12 buildings in Clash Royale. We've assessed each of them based on their abilities, how strong they are for the current meta, and how versatile they are. We've taken the recent September balance changes into consideration.
The tier list begins at S-tier. Any card finding itself here can be considered an amazing addition to any deck. As you move down the list, the less viable these buildings become. Ending the tier list is the F-tier, where you can find arguably the worst building in the game.
You can find a full overview of our building tier list below:
Tier | Cards |
| S | Bomb Tower and Tesla |
| A | Cannon, Mortar, and Inferno Tower |
| B | Goblin Cage, Goblin Drill, Tombstone, and Elixir Collector |
| C | Goblin Hut and X-Bow |
| F | Barbarian Hut |
We'll update the rankings should any new buildings be added to the game or if the meta undergoes a massive shift.
Best Buildings in Clash Royale
At the moment, the most powerful buildings in Clash Royale are the Bomb Tower and the Tesla.
The Bomb Tower is a great structure for distracting enemy troops. They can deal massive area damage, which is good against swarms like Skeleton Army or Goblins, and they can inflict large area-of-effect (AoE) damage when they are destroyed.
On the other hand, the Tesla is a fast-deploying and inexpensive building that can easily stun and damage enemies. Use its Card Evolution and you'll have a rather powerful AoE-style distraction on the battlefield.
Worst Buildings in Clash Royale
The worst building in Clash Royale is the Barbarian Hut.
Unfortunately, the Barbarian Hut is costly at 6 Elixir and has a rather slow spawn speed. This means it's slow to make an impact in battle and can be vulnerable if you deploy it all by itself. So, you'll need to play it behind some troops if you want it to last. In the fast-paced nature of Clash Royale, this makes this building very weak for the current meta.
