How to Win a Battle with Pekka Bridge Spam Deck?
The Pekka Bridge Spam or PBS is a deck with the ultimate aim of gaining an elixir advantage using units that provide quick pressure and then getting an edge over your opponents with a massive single or split lane push.
If you want to win a battle with the PBS in Clash Royale, you can use the following strategy:
- Cycle a Bandit or Ghost at the back when you hit 10 Elixir. This would make the opponent leak Elixir while they decide what to do as these units are hard to deal with.
- If you are up 1 Elixir, play a Bandit or Ghost at the back. However, if you are up 2 Elixir, you can play a Pekka at the back, only if the matchup allows. If not, just cycle Bandit or Ghost instead.
- If you are up 3 or more Elixir, Battle Ram the bridge and try pressuring the other lane after they start defending it.
- When you are 2 Elixir up in single, 1 Elixir up in double, or when you can take a tower, you can try a Magic Archer lineup. However, if you use a single bad Magic Archer, you may allow the opponent to turn the tables.
Keep continuing this cycle of pressure throughout the game but don’t let the opponents counter your assault.
We have also shared the Interactions, Upgrade Priority, and Match Ups for the PBS deck below:
Interactions for the PBS
The Zap is the most important single card in your Pekka Bridge Spam deck as it provides you with a wide range of interaction differences. You can easily outplay your opponents when using them correctly.
Note: These interactions are based on maxed-level cards.
- Zap + Pekka will kill – Fisherman, Cannon Cart, Hunter, Bandit, Queen, and Night Witch
- Zap + Bandit will two-shot Musketeer, Ice Wiz, Witch, and Wizard
- Zap + Ghost is almost the same as the Bandit
- Zap + Fireball will kill Musketeer, Witch, and Wizard
- Fireball + Pekka kills Ebarbs
Upgrade Priority for the PBS
You should always keep cards within a level and take care of your whole deck for a balanced output. For instance, you can go 12-13 in order of these cards and then move to 13-14 in order.
Here is the upgrade priority you should follow for your Pekka Bridge Spam deck:
- Ghost – it will one shot maxed Princess and Dart Goblin.
- Bandit – it will make sure all the interactions work properly.
- Electro Wizard – it will kill flying units like Balloons quicker.
- Zap – it will help for interactions.
- Pekka – it will make sure that it can 2 shot units like the Hog + Tower.
- Fireball – it is required for tower damage.
- Battle Ram – It can give serious beating to the tower if it connects.
If you have alternatives of these cards, you can customise the upgrade priority according to their role. Make sure you continue your aggressive stance while still focusing on the opponent’s moves.
How to Counter the Pekka Bridge Spam in Clash Royale?
If you constantly find yourself getting defeated by the opponents using the Pekka Bridge Spam, then you need to look for a good counter-attack strategy. The best way to cut this type of deck is to come up with your own Pekka Bridge Spam deck.
You just have to try and get aggressive before your opponent has started their assault. The Bridge Spam player will likely put down a Royal Ghost or Bandit to push you on the defence front but you can counter them with a punishing card like the Prince, Hog, Battle Ram, Bandit, or Mini P.E.K.K.A.
You can also use a Valkyrie to counter the PBS, and if it’s low-levelled, you can try an Executioner. The key is to not overcommit your Elixir when you know their deck. It’s possible to destroy PBS players with the right set of moves.
Summing It Up
Pekka Bridge Spam is a highly popular deck style in Clash Royale. This versatile deck is suitable for all sorts of players and can help you a lot on the battlefield. Now you know which combination of cards you need to use and the right strategy for the PBS.
