Clash Royale: Musketeer

INFORMATION OF GIANT- CLASH ROYALE

"Don't be fooled by her delicately coiffed hair, the Musketeer is a mean shot with her trusty boomstick"

Summary

This card is unlockable from the Training Camp (Tutorial).
The Musketeer is a strong troop, effective against air troops, such as the Balloon & Building targeting troops, or Minions, that have a small amount of hit points.

Strategy

The Musketeer can be used to backup higher hitpoints troops such as Giants.
As the Musketeer can target both Air & Ground troops, it's a powerful substitute to Archers, albeit at the cost of higher Elixir - 4 Elixir (Musketeer) for 3 Elixir (Archers).
- Its large range allows the Musketeer to help lower hitpoints from a distance without engaging with defending troops.
The Musketeer's long range (6.5 tiles) is effective, as it can only allow a single Crown Tower to target the Musketeer.
The Musketeer can only attack targets one at a time, so cards such as Skeleton Army or Tombstone are effective counters against the Musketeer.
Musketeers are also effective counters against a Cannon. Due to their long range, they can outrange the Cannon and take it out from a safe distance.

Trivia

On 9/2/16, the Chest Rewards & Card Balance Update decreased her damage by 25% and her Elixir cost to 4 (from 5).
On 19/2/16, the Balance Update increased her damage by 11%.
The Musketeer face is very similar to the Archer's face, and her purple hair is similar the the level six Archers in Clash of Clans.
The Musketeer is also similar to a Zooka in Boom Beach, as it has a long range, and has a similar shooting animation.
