One of the most powerful cards in "Clash Royale" is Sparky. It has the ability to take out a tower and other high HP (Hit Points) troops in just a few shots. Because of its powerful attack, countering Sparky could be tricky but it all boils down to exploiting its weakness.

Sparky could be obtained when a player reaches Arena 6 or the Builder's Workshop. It is known for its high HP and many players use the said card because it only needs a few shots to take down a tower as well as the powerful P.E.K.K.A and Giants. Sparky could easily destroy other troops with splash attack which means it is a formidable enemy once it starts rolling into the enemy territory.

According to Clash Royale Tactics, the best way to handle Sparky is to distract it. Sparky moves really slow and it has to recharge for 5 seconds after it fires a blast. A simple method to deal with the attack is to surround it with low DPS (Damage per Second) troops such as skeletons.

But players have to remember that Sparky doesn't just go out alone. One of the biggest weaknesses of Sparky is the fact that it can be easily destroyed because of its low HP which means it is often paired with a Giant or a Royal Giant in front. When this happens, distract the Giant or Royal Giant first with a defensive building and deal with Sparky with additional attacks.

Easiest method to destroy Sparky is through flying troops, according to Clash Royale Arena. But be sure to have a backup plan to attack Sparky because users of this type of attack are very familiar with its weakness that they often prepare a counter-attack.

Zap and Freeze are also good options in dealing with Sparky. Zap resets Sparky which gives other troops a chance to attack while Freeze limits Spark's movement for a few seconds for the troops to move in for the kill. Guards and Dark Price can also deal considerable damage to Sparky.

Sparky could be a formidable opponent card. However it can be defeated with the right placement of troops while preparing for the counter attack.
