The study of superheavy nuclei (SHN) and their decay properties is one of the rapidly growing fields in nuclear physics. Using the CYE model, we have already studied the decay properties of the alpha decay, cluster decay, and spontaneous fission of the heavy and superheavy nuclei. In the present work, we will examine the effects by incorporating hexacontatetrapole (β6) parameter in the parent nucleus along with the quadrupole (β2), and hexadecapole (β4) deformations of the decaying parent nucleus emitting clusters 84Be and 126C. These deformations lower the half-life values, because they reduce the height and width of the potential barrier. Additionally, the creation of the doubly magic daughter 298114 from different decaying nuclei is computed. The calculated half-lives are compared with other models and are found to be in a good agreement. The branching ratios relative to the alpha-decay have also been calculated.
