Skeleton Barrel Evolution
Clash Royale just had a very big update, but that doesn’t stop the seasonal content! Skeleton Barrel will be the main evolution for July, the one that is unlocked with Diamond Pass Royale.
The Skeleton Barrel evolution card description says the following:
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it... two Barrels full of Skeletons?
When Evolved Skeleton Barrel drops its Barrels, it deals Death Damage and spawns Skeletons. Upon taking enough Damage, a Barrel will drop early.
Evolution Stats
It seems that evolution stat buffs are back. Compared to the normal Skeleton Barrel, the evolution has:
- HP: 532 ➜ 665 (+25%)
- Death Damage: 145 ➜ 2x256 (+253%)
- Barrel count: 1 ➜ 2 (+100%)
- Skeletons per Barrel: 7 (same)
Evolved Skeleton Barrel has one of those HP triggers that has been used quite often with new card designs.
This trigger is at 75%, and causes the first barrel to drop. This means that if Evolved Skeleton Barrel loses 25% of its HP, it drops one of the two barrels early.
If this HP trigger isn’t activated before reaching a building or tower, the 2 barrels will drop at once when they reach their target.
Both of the barrels deal 77% more damage than a normal barrel, which applies also if one of them drops early. If you manage to get both to connect to a tower by tanking it, the drop damage will be more than 3x of a normal barrel.
That’s a lot of tower damage! For reference, here’s a comparison of these death damages with some spells:
| Source | Tower Damage |
|---|---|
| Normal Barrel | 145 |
| Fireball | 207 |
| 1 Evo Barrel | 256 |
| Rocket | 371 |
| 2 Evo Barrels | 512 |
Evolution Cycles
Skeleton Barrel needs 2 Cycles to activate the evolution, so 1 in every 3 deploys will be evolved.
Evolution Release
The Skeleton Barrel Evolution will be released on July 7th, with the start of the new season.
Usually, card evolutions are released slightly before the end of the season, which is the first Monday of the month. As soon as this happens, you can unlock it with Wild Shards. After the new season begins, players who buy the Diamond Pass Royale get 6 Skeleton Barrel shards to unlock it.
Other ways to get Skeleton Barrel shards are:
- Level Up chests
- Live Events (in a future seasons)
- Shop Offers (in a future seasons)
- 5-Star Lucky Drops
- Using Wild Shards
