So, what is 4 Card Showdown? We have all been used to the 4-Card Cycle for sure, or even 3-Card Cycle. But, this game mode has no card cycles. Four cards make a deck. You can play the same card in a 1-second intervals, provided you have enough elixir.
For instance, a player can spawn skeletons every second.

Playing a few matches in the mode, we have concluded that the following strategies work better:
- Spell Spam
- Battle Healer or Royale Ghost Spam
- Tank + Fire Cracker
Notice, how we have used ‘Spam’ instead of Cycle. You no longer need to spend elixir or play cards to cycle back to your card. Play the card, wait for a second, and re-play the card. It works; however, be mindful that your opponent can build a counterpush.
