- What is the Arena Placement Simulator?
- An interactive tool that lets you place Clash Royale buildings on a tile-accurate arena grid. You can see pull radiuses, experiment with defensive positions, and learn optimal placements like the classic 4-3 Cannon setup.
- What is pull radius and why does it matter?
- Pull radius is a building's sight range — the distance at which it attracts building-targeting troops like Hog Rider, Giant, and Golem. Placing buildings at the right distance can pull tanks into the centre of the arena, letting both Princess Towers deal damage.
- What does "4-3 placement" mean?
- In Clash Royale, placements are described as X-Y where X is tiles from the river and Y is tiles from the nearest Princess Tower. A 4-3 Cannon means 4 tiles from the river and 3 tiles from the Princess Tower — the classic anti-Hog position.
- Is the Arena Simulator free?
- Yes. The Arena Placement Simulator is completely free with no login required. Place buildings, experiment with scenarios, and learn placements instantly.
- Can I use this on mobile?
- Yes. Tap a building card to select it, then tap anywhere on your side of the arena to place it. The tool is designed for touch screens since most Clash Royale players are on mobile.
- How do troop paths work?
- Select a building-targeting troop (like Hog Rider or Giant) and a spawn bridge. The simulator calculates the path the troop would take based on your placed buildings — it always walks toward the nearest building or tower. An animated line shows the exact route with arrival times.
- What is Test Defense mode?
- Test Defense mode lets you simulate an attack in real time. Place your buildings, switch to Test mode, add up to 5 attackers, and hit Play to watch troop sprites move along their calculated paths. Building range circles pulse when a troop enters their aggro range, and a timeline tracks the full defense sequence.
- Can I share my placement setup?
- Yes. Every placement you make is encoded in the URL. Click the Share button to copy a link — anyone who opens it will see your exact building positions, selected troop, and spawn side.
