Hog Rider is the most popular card in Arena 5-7, and today I am going to recommend Zap + Fireball + Hog Rider deck to you. This 046 deck (no epic card, lvl4 rare card, lvl6 common card) helps me to get Arena 7 in 18 days. Here are two screenshots using the same deck.

Because I don’t have Lighting, so I just use Fireball. And this 3.1 elixir deck is really awesome!

Battle Strategy:
Many beginners just copy others decks but have no idea about how to use them. Therefore it’s important for you guys knowing how to attack and defend.
On Offense
Hog Rider + Spear Goblins/Goblins: if your opponents drop a defensive building in the middle of two Arena Towers, you need to make Hog Rider jump over the river to attack Arena Tower directly. (pig push skills at the bottom of this page). After that, have your Fireball/Zap ready. Use Zap to counter hordes of troops, and have Fireball to counter Barbarians. Of course Fireball cannot take out Barbarian at the same level, but it can knock them back to win a few seconds for Hog Rider. And our Arena Tower can take out these Barbarians after they cross river.
On Defense
Skeletons/Spear Goblins can be used to distract Prince/Mini P.E.K.K.A/Giant Skeleton.
Minion Horde can be used to take out tankers or flying troops like Giant/Balloon/Baby Dragon.
Bomb Tower is perfect to annihilate ground troops. Fireball can quickly finish Mini Horde/Goblin Barrel/Barbarians/Three Musketeers and do some damage to the Arena Tower at the same time.
Zap can be used to finish Goblins/Spear Goblins/Skeletons/Minion Horde
Weakness
Hog Rider is the main DPS in this deck, if your opponents use hut spammer decks with Rocket/Mortar, it would be difficult for your Hog Rider to reach Arena Towers.
Also, if you meet Giant + Wizard combo, it is hard to win for Wizard can quickly take out our Mini Horde/Goblins/Spear Goblins/Skeletons.
But luckily these combos are not common, so this deck is enough to help us to get Arena 7!
Pig Push Skills
For most defensive builidings
1.Place the hog rider at the far edge of the river and instantly put your goblins or spear goblins right beside him.As the goblins/spear goblins/skeletons spawn, they slightly pushed the hog to the side forcing him to do a little jump over the river which allowing him to completely ignore defensive structures.
For Tesla, there are two unique cases
1. When the Tesla is placed perfectly in the center of the arena and 3 tiles away from the river, the hog rider will bypass if placed on the right side. However, we cannot do the same on the left.
2. When the Tesla is placed perfectly in the center of the arena and 4 tiles away from the river, the hog rider will bypass the Tesla both on the left and right side.
