This means you can play alone or team up with a friend (or a random online player of the same level) for multiplayer battles. Additionally, the event brings with it a challenge, which will remain active from November 29th to December 2nd.

The best decks for the Dark Elixir event in Clash Royale
In the Dark Elixir event, a purple elixir randomly drops into the arena. As soon as you or your opponent's troops enter the elixir circle, their speed increases. Battles within the circle become intense, with health decreasing much faster than usual. Once troops leave the circle, they return to normal speed and damage rate.
While this event gives you the ability to take down enemies quickly, it is also risky. Your towers can collapse in seconds if you're not careful. The elixir usually drops near towers or along the borders of the empire, making it dangerous and exciting.
Here are the best decks for the Dark Elixir event and challenge Royal clash to defeat your enemies.
Bridge 1

Evo Valkyrie |

Evo Goblin Hut |

Goblins |
2 elixirs |
Fireball |
4 elixirs |
Night witch |

Giant |
5 elixirs |
Musketeer |
4 elixirs |
Barbarians |
5 elixirs |
This deck works well against most troop types if you use the right strategy. Start by placing Barbarians, Goblins, or Musketeers as your primary fighters. When an enemy approaches your towers through the Dark Elixir circle, summon the Giant to block their path. This forces them to target the Giant, preventing them from fully benefiting from the elixir circle, and gives you time to refill the elixir bar for the remaining cards. In the meantime, use other attacking cards like Valkyrie or Night Witch, both of which can keep enemies at bay for a long time.
Goblin Hut is great for countering multiple enemies in the arena, such as skeletons or even the night witch. Keep using the fireball to blow up your opponent's towers, while cycling through other attack or defense cards to maintain control.

In the Dark Elixir event, it's best to wait and see where the elixir falls before playing your cards. Once located, place your troops there. Also, after destroying a tower, start using cards inside the elixir circle on the enemy's side. Use strong attackers like Barbarians or Valkyries along with Zappies.
If you get the option for Goblin Hut, summon it near any of your towers to continue spawning Goblins as support. For enemy towers, the Elixir Golem is a great choice: it can deal damage and also act as a shield in the purple circle. Firecracker and Princess can be used as defense cards in the event arena.

The combination of Electro Dragon and Evo Dark Prince is perfect for hitting enemy towers and the addition of Elixir Golem makes it even better! Spear Goblin and Princess are low-cost cards that you can continue to use as defenders, while Golden Knight, Evo Prince, and Electro Wizard lead the charge. When using Golden Knight, don't forget to activate his sword skill – it will boost the attack and deal extra damage, giving you an advantage in battle.
