Deck Check Rating
Deck Check explained
Deck Check is a good way to quickly check if your deck has problems. It’s not perfect, and it can’t be since Clash Royale is a dynamic and sophisticated game. It also depends on skill. A pro with a bad deck can beat a bad player with a good deck. However, it should give you a good idea if your deck is good or not.
Defense Defensive potential
How well you should be able to defend enemy attacks with this deck. It is calculated by looking at your defensive cards and their synergy.
Attack Offensive potential
How strong your deck is on offense. It is calculated from the cards that are able to deal damage to your opponent's towers.
Versatility Deck versatility
