Introduction
Pekka Bridge Spam, an iconic deck in CR, easy to learn, hard to master, usually accompanied with royal ghost, but this guide covers dark prince instead of royal ghost, as it is in my opinion much more versatile then royal ghost

Card Roles[]
- P.E.K.K.A.: your main tank/tank killer, usually not to be played at the bridge unless your enemy has literally 0 elixir, he counters most current meta cards ( E barbs, archer queen, golden knight)
- Minions: a secondary tank killer if pekka is out of rotation, albeit less reliable, minions do have good dps, a dark prince + minions is able to dispatch of most tank cards simalarly to a pekka, also a good punishment card to put at the bridge.
- Battle Ram: your main win condition, just like bandit, its your primary punishment card, if your enemy made a bad trade you can hard punish the other lane with your battle ram, usually resulting in a lot of damage if not a tower
- Electro Wizard: the main supporting element of your deck, electro wizards, double attack and stun makes him very good at stopping charging units(prince, ram rider, battle ram) while you put down another card to counter.
- Dark Prince: Your mini tank, compared to royal ghost, he does greater damage, has more hp, and his charge attack makes him a very good counter-push card, although he is 1 elixir more expensive .
- Bandit: your main punishment card, 3 elixir allowing you to quickly place her at the bridge and force a bad trade from your enemy if his/her cards are out of cycle
- Zap: Self explanatory, a must have in bridge spam, counters skarmy, goblin gang(if 1 level higher), and can counter goblin barrel, reset charges.
- Poison: a good response to a elixir pump, also a good card to place if your enemy places fireballies in the back, allowing you to chip your enemy towers also while dealing with the cards.
Strategy[]
3-1 Minute
Before double elixir, focus on knowing your opponent's deck, what cards do they have? what counters to your deck to they have? what is their win condition?, once you know what deck they have and what counters they have, you can focus on applying lane pressure, especially against beatdown decks, you do not want to allow them to build a massive push, you want to keep using your punishment cards and force a bad trade.
1 minute
this is where you will most likely score your first crown, keep applying lane pressure, keep cycling back to your bandit and battle ram and keep bridge spamming, once you forced out a bad trade, you can proceed with pekka at the bridge and that should usually be tower.
