The Executioner has always been one of the most reliable splash-damage cards in Clash Royale, known for cutting through waves of troops with his deadly axe throws. But with his Evolution form now available, he’s stronger than ever. Evo Executioner brings more power, range, and versatility to your deck, making him a must-try card in the current meta. Whether you like control decks, beatdown setups, or counter-push strategies, this evolved version can fit almost anywhere. In this article, we’ll go over the best Evo Executioner decks in Clash Royale and explain how to make the most out of this powerful new card.

The Evolution Executioner in Clash Royale costs 5 Elixir and has an evolution cycle of one, meaning you’ll be able to use his evolved form quite often. According to the in-game description, “That’s not an axe… This is an axe. Evolved Executioner’s axe deals more damage to enemies in close quarters and pushes them back.” When he swings, his axe hits harder against nearby enemies and knocks them back around two tiles. Any unit within roughly 3.5 tiles of him takes almost double the normal damage. This makes him a great counter to swarms and mid-range threats alike. When positioned correctly, Evo Executioner can completely shut down cards like Elite Barbarians, Hog Rider, and Ram Rider with ease. His knockback also works on air units, making him surprisingly effective against Balloon and Minions. While he can’t push back heavier units like Giant or Lava Hound, he still chips them down quickly, and once the Lava Pups spawn, his enhanced axe can wipe them out in one throw.

If you like fast-paced decks that pressure your opponent constantly, this Evo Executioner Hog Rider setup is perfect. Hog Rider is your main win condition, while Valkyrie and the evolved Executioner handle defense and counter-push opportunities. The Tornado combo is the key to success — pull enemy troops into one spot and let the Evo Executioner’s axe clear everything in seconds. Once the field is clear, send in your Hog Rider for massive tower damage. Cards like Ice Spirit and Goblins help with cycling and control, while The Log keeps enemy swarms in check. The Mirror card lets you double down on any key play, giving you the flexibility to surprise opponents late game.

This deck mixes control and burst damage using the classic Miner + Balloon combo. Start by sending your Miner to tank hits from the tower, then drop the Balloon to deal heavy damage. Evo Executioner and Tornado are your best defensive tools, capable of wiping entire pushes with perfect placement. Valkyrie adds extra stability against ground swarms, while cheap cards like Ice Spirit and Skeletons keep your cycle fast. Zap is ideal for resetting Inferno Towers or stunning defensive troops, ensuring your Balloon gets that crucial last hit on the tower.

Skeleton King provides swarm control and resurrection potential, making it difficult for your opponent to reset. Tornado and Evo Executioner synergize beautifully to handle both air and ground units, while Goblin Barrel and Zap give you direct pressure options. Once you get one big push rolling, this deck can easily demolish towers in a single sequence.

If you’re looking to climb trophies and dominate both ladder and challenges, the Evo Executioner deserves a spot in your deck lineup.
