1.6 Elixir! Cheapest Bats Evolution Deck Shreds in Clash Royale
The newly evolved bats in Clash Royale offer insane value for just 2 elixir. Combined with a fast, 1.6 average elixir cost deck, these vampiric beasts form the ultimate cycle swarm. I took this absurdly spammy deck for a spin to exploit the bats and assert some dominance on the ladder. Read on to find out if this deck sunk its teeth into sweet success or barely limped by!
Overview of the 1.6 Elixir Bats Evolution Deck
This deck centers around using the cheapest cards possible to enable constant pressure. With scrappy one-elixir troops and spells making up the majority of the cards, you can spit out unit after unit to overwhelm opponents. The key is to never let your opponent build up a substantial push.
The only cards above one elixir are the miner and cannon. This miner chip damage forms your main tower-taking win condition. The cannon primarily serves as a distraction building to kite heavy tanks.
Here’s a breakdown of the full deck:
| Card | Elixir Cost |
| Bats | 2 |
| Miner | 3 |
| Ice Spirit | 1 |
| Heal Spirit | 1 |
| Fire Spirit | 1 |
| Skeletons | 1 |
| Cannon | 3 |
| The Log | 2 |
| Average Elixir | 1.6 |
Now let’s get into some gameplay to demonstrate the raw strength of this cycle deck!
Asserting Dominance with Bats and Swarms
My first opponent was running a slower goblin barrel bait deck. With my much faster cycle, I could overwhelm him with constant pressure. Dropping a stream of cheap troops prevented him from supporting his wall breakers properly. Even when he managed to split them at the bridge, my quick reactions with a fire spirit splash sealed their fate.
Once my bats hit their evolution form, it was all over. Their boosted DPS and vampire health regeneration ripped through my opponent’s defenses. In one push, the bats and supporting cheap troops took his tower from over 2000 HP all the way to zero! He simply couldn’t keep up with the absurd tempo of my 1.6 deck. A few more dominances asserted later, and we had secured the victory.
Going Batty Against Elixir Golem
My next opponent was running one of the most notoriously frustrating decks to face: Elixir Golem Battle Healer. Luckily, my fast swarm card rotation kept me firmly in control. I relentlessly sent in miner after miner, supported by little troops to chip away at his towers.
When he finally worked up enough elixir to play his Elixir Golem, I already had a huge damage lead. My goal became delaying and shredding his push. A multi-cannon and ice spirit combo hilariously distracted the Golem while my bats cleaned up. Soon both his towers dropped without my opponent ever mounting a significant counterattack. The nonstop aggression of the 1.6 bats evolution deck proved too much to handle!

Shutting Down Hard Counters
To truly test the mettle of my fast-cycling swarm deck, I wanted to face opponents with direct counter cards. My next adversary was running electro wizard and had zap in his deck – the bane of frail bats. On top of that win condition, he had executioner and tornado, a nasty combo for shutting down swarms.
Early on, it was a stalemate. I struggled to connect significant bat damage as he shredded them with zap and electro wizard. Eventually, I built up enough of an elixir lead to go in with a miner + bat push when his electro wizard was out of cycle. That one push nearly took his whole tower! Now on the back foot, my opponent started desperately spamming mega knight, executioner, electro wizard and more at the bridge.
Through precise distraction placements, I managed to delay his relentless spam just long enough for my bats to finish their meal. Displaying pristine defense against hard counters, I clinched another close victory. My faith in the 1.6 bats evolution deck was reaffirmed!
