I hope you are excited about the new Clash Royale 2023 season. Today we are going to show you the best God Level 2.9 Hog Monk Cycle Deck for the 2023 season.

So, let me show you the best Hog Monk Cycle deck in Clash Royale.
2.9 HOG MONK CYCLE DECK 2023

Which is the best attacking card in this deck?
Monk
The Monk might just be the strongest card ever released in Clash Royale history. Costing only 4 Elixir the Monk is incredibly tanky with more health than a Golden Knight. He has an ability called pencil protection that lasts 4 seconds and reduces all incoming damage by a whopping 80% and at the same time reflects any projectiles back at the opponent.
The best part of his ability is that it can reflect any projectile whether it’s a Bowler Rock, Sparky Blast, or even a Rocket. Everything goes directly back to the opponent even things like Goblin Barrel and Barbarian Barrel can be reflected.
Although Hog Rider is the main win condition in this deck, Monk has to be used to clear out any enemy tanks so that your Hog Rider can deal damage to the opponent’s tower.
Monk Stats
- Rarity – Champion
- Range – Melee
- Speed – Medium
- Target – Ground
- Hit Speed – 0.9 sec
Which is the best supporting card in this deck?
Firecracker
It is one of the best-ranged units in Clash Royale that shoots at enemy troops, towers, and the King or Queen. Although Firecracker has moderate hit points and low damage, it is capable of targeting both ground and air units and can move quickly around the arena. She could be dropped behind Hog Rider to clear any incoming enemy swarms or behind the tower while defending.
Firecracker Stats
- Rarity – Common
- Range – 6.0
- Speed – Fast
- Target – Air & Ground
- Hit Speed – 3.0 sec
- Radius – 0.4
Game Plan
To attack – You need to build up pushes from the back by playing Firecracker or Monk behind your tower. Then support it with Hog Rider and Log or Ice Spirit. In later stages of the game, you can make use of the double elixir to be more aggressive.
To defend – You must deploy Tesla Tower with perfect placements. And finish your enemy troop either with Log or Skeletons.
