What Are Tower Troops?
Tower Troops are special units that defend your King's Tower in Clash Royale. Choosing the right one can significantly impact your defense.

**Dagger Duchess** — Excellent vs small swarms and balloon decks.
**Royal Delivery** — Great area denial on both sides of the river.
B Tier
**Archer Queen** — Strong single target but struggles with swarms.
