Push Comes to Shove Clash Royale Daily Puzzle Answer (Nov 4)

Push Comes to Shove is the third-ever Clash Royale Daily Puzzle (Day 3 of the November 2–8 launch batch, Season 89 “King vs. King”), released on November 4, 2026. The hand is a single card — the Giant (5 Elixir) — and the threat is an enemy Level 11 Musketeer marching down the left lane against a Princess Tower that starts at only 500 HP. You also start just short of the Giant’s cost, so the puzzle is two decisions in sequence: when to deploy, and exactly where.

Understanding the clue

Supercell confirmed that puzzle names carry hints, and this puzzle hides the answer in plain sight:

• “Push comes to shove” is an idiom for “when it gets serious” — and, read literally, the winning mechanic: the shove. The Giant’s body pushing the Musketeer is not a side effect, it is the solution.

The core idea: displacement, not damage

A Giant one-v-one against a Musketeer is a damage race you do not need to win. The puzzle is won through aggro displacement:

1. Unchecked, she stands in range of your 500-HP Princess Tower and shoots it to pieces in a handful of shots.
2. The Giant placed directly on her line makes body contact, shoving her backward out of the tower’s range. Her lock-on breaks, and she retargets the biggest thing in front of her — the Giant himself.

That’s the whole puzzle: turn a defense problem into a retarget problem. The Giant never deals a point of damage to her; the tower does, uninterrupted, while he tanks.

Step-by-step solution

1. Read the board. A Level 11 Musketeer advances down the left lane on a 500-HP Princess Tower. One card in hand: Giant (5 Elixir). Your bar starts short of his cost — patience is part of the solution.
2. Wait for 5 Elixir. Let her cross the bridge and start her approach. She may land one or two shots on the tower before you can afford the Giant; a 500-HP tower survives that, but it cannot survive much more.
3. Deploy into her walking line, tower-facing side. Body contact is the goal. No gap in front of the Giant, no placing him behind the tower, no river placements — every tile of distance is a free shot for her.
4. Let the shove reset her target. His body pushes her back out of range, breaking her lock-on; she retargets onto the Giant. He absorbs her shots while the Princess Tower — now free to fire — burns her down. When she turns to shoot him, you have already won.

Common failure points

• Deploying with a gap. The most common miss: the Giant lands in her lane but a tile or two short, and she keeps shooting the tower while he closes the distance.
• Placing him on the wrong side. Behind your tower or on the enemy-facing side means he never touches her — the shove needs contact.
• Sitting on full Elixir. Waiting past 5 Elixir banks her free shots on a tower that only has 500 HP. Deploy the moment you can afford him.
• Playing for the damage race. The Giant will never kill her — he only targets buildings. If you are watching his HP hoping he out-trades her, you are watching the wrong fight.

Par and scoring

Push Comes to Shove is rated Easy with Par 2 — the lowest Par of the launch week, and a nod to how cleanly the namesake shove solves it: most players clear it on the first or second attempt once the deploy-into-her-line idea clicks.
