The beginning of 2024 has been quite interesting forClash Royaleplayers, as the game received a brand-new feature that affects the core gameplay significantly. Before this, there was no Tower Troop, as all players had Tower Princess and King Tower as their last lines of defense, but the arrival ofCannoneerallowed players to customize this important defensive line.
Clash Royale: 5 Best Cannoneer Tower Troop Decks
Clash Royale introduced an exciting new Tower Troop, Cannoneer! This list breaks down the best Cannoneer Decks you can put together.
And now, we have a new member in our small Tower Troop guild: Dagger Duchess. The latest arrival in the roster is indeed a promising new tower defender that comes with her own unique attacking system, which could open up many new opportunities for players to explore new decks and new playstyles.

4Cannoneer
Still Missing Something
Cannoneer is not yet balanced, even months after its release. While this tower troop is a beast against medium-HP troops, the low fire rate still causes a lot of problems that players do not want to deal with. To be honest, there are a limited amount of decks that could fit into Cannoneer, but its massive vulnerability against spam troops is always a troublemaker.
Aside from the low fire rate, Cannoneer is also the weakest tower troop when it comes to hitpoints. While this has been considered as compensation for its high DPS (Damage per Second) rate, but it turns out to be one of the major problems of Cannoneer and why it cannot be a trustworthy defender for your crown towers.
3Tower Princess
A Nightmare For Spams
Tower Princess is no longer the best tower troop in Clash Royale, and now it finally has a real competitor. If Tower Princess is still here, it is mostly because we have been playing with this tower troop for a long time, and we have already crafted a massive number of superb decks that work perfectly. However, this equation has now changed as Dagger Duchess is explored well enough and proven worthy.
Tower Princess is still the best defense against spam units. Not that it can deal with all of them, but it can reduce the incoming threat from spams significantly. Also, Tower Princess cannot be slowed down by a cooldown system, which makes it a simplified and still effective option, without taking much risk.
2Goblin Babies
A Unit Of Its Own League
Goblin Babies are only playable in the Goblin Queen’s Journey game mode, which is why they are pretty secluded from the other Tower Troops. Goblin Babies have the exact same stats as Tower Princess. The hitpoints, fire rate, and damage are all equal between both tower troops.
However, the only thing that makes it different is the King Tower’s troops. The Goblin Queen has a special ability to launch Goblin Babies, whereas the King only has a cannon to defend itself. This is the only reason why Goblin Babies are slightly better than Tower Princess in general.
1Dagger Duchess
A Perfectly Balanced Tower Troop
Dagger Duchess is indeed much better than Cannoneer and Tower Princess. For Dagger Duchess, Supercell ditches the simplified one-off statistics and introduces a cooldown system that affects the tower troop’s performance. Currently, Dagger Duchess has the highest fire rate among all tower troops, but that only lasts for a limited time.
When Duchess runs out of ammo, you need to wait longer for each hit, and this new fire rate falls between that of Tower Princess and Cannoneer. That being said, Dagger Duchess deals 50% more damage compared to Tower Princess based on Level 11 statistics, which is great compensation for that low fire rate during the cooldown period. Other than that, Dagger Duchess also has the highest hitpoints among all tower troops. All these advantages make her a pretty balanced and capable option that is surely worth exploring more and more.
