How to counter Fireball in Clash Royale

Okay, you can't really counter the Fireball - it just flies right where your opponent tells it to and deals a solid amount of damage.

However, there are a few tricks you can use to help limit the damage it can do. Read on to find out. Bait it

If your deck is aggressive and relies on a mob of units to destroy towers, you'll likely not want a Fireball to literally come raining down on your parade.

Instead, you could try to bait it out before throwing out your entire army. Try using a cheap building like the Tombstone or Cannon which your opponent might try and bring down with the Fireball.
