Lumberjack Evolution

In recent months, there have been 2 clear content release patterns:

  • 2 evolutions
  • 1 evolution and 1 new card

Lumberjack will be the main evolution of the season, which is the one you can unlock with Pass Royale. Will there be another evo? A new card? We’ll find out very soon, we just know that they are missing a tooth!

Lumberjack will be the 2nd Legendary card to receive an evolution. For now, there doesn’t seem to be a pattern for evolution rarities.

The Lumberjack evolution card description says the following:

When Evolved Lumberjack is destroyed, his invisible Ghost seeks vengeance as long as it’s in a pool of Rage.

Who you gonna call?

Evolution Stats

As with recent evolutions, Supercell avoids giving basic stat buffs. The main stats of the normal Lumberjack are the same as the evolution.

Pre-Release Balance

Supercell announced that the Ghost will be balanced pre-release, and the Ghost will now deal less damage (256 → 192 at level 11). An updated dev build was not made available to creators. These numbers may continue to change in the future.

We think that this will still make the evolution a very strong card.

Evolution Ability: Rage Ghost!

Work-in-progress Balance Changes for February 2025 (Season 68)

When Evolved Lumberjack dies, he spills a bottle of Rage spell, as usual. The big difference is the Lumberjack’s ghost, which spawns afterwards.

The invisibility effect of LJ’s ghost doesn’t behave like Royal Ghost, it has an effect of invincible-invisibility. You might remember some special challenges that used similar effects in the past.

In short, the main differences are:

  • LJ’s ghost doesn’t become visible when attacking

  • LJ’s ghost can’t be damaged with spells, although he can be pushed and pulled by them

But is he truly invincible? What limits the ghost is the Rage spell, as he can only exist in the enraged area. This creates some interesting features and limitations such as:

  • He is only destroyed when he steps away from the Rage area, so distracting him with targets or pulling him with a tornado are some of the few options available against him. Or you can wait until the Rage effect expires.

  • The Rage effect doesn’t need to be from his own Rage spell, meaning that his lifetime can be extended with another Rage Spell.

Advanced note: the Rage spell affects troops every 0.3 seconds, but once a troop has been buffed, that effect lasts for 2.0 seconds. This means that LJ’s ghost needs to spend around 2 seconds away from the enraged area to be destroyed. This causes tornado pulls to not be very effective unless you also manage to distract him with a different target.

The ghost has slightly lower stats than a normal Lumberjack, as he deals 25% less damage per hit.

Troop or attack Hit Points
Skeleton HP 81
1x LJ's ghost hit 192
Goblin HP 202
Ice Spirit HP 230
1x Lumberjack hit 256
Princess HP 261
Archer HP 304
2x LJ's ghost hits 384
2x Lumberjack hits 512
Magic Archer HP 531
3x LJ's ghost hits 576
Barbarian HP 737

The most basic interactions that change with this damage reduction are for small troops, like Goblins and Spirits, which can withstand 2 hits from this ghost.

Evolution Cycles

Lumberjack needs 1 Cycle to activate the evolution, so 1 in every 2 deploys will be evolved.

Evolution Release

The Lumberjack Evolution will be released on February 3rd, 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 Lumberjack shards to unlock it.

Other ways to find Lumberjack shards are:

  • Level Up chests
  • Season Shop (in a future seasons)
  • Shop Offers (in a future seasons)
  • Legendary Lucky Drops

TL;DR

The OG rage-dropping warrior just got a ghostly upgrade in Clash Royale! When this evolved beast falls, he doesn’t just drop rage — he becomes an unstoppable phantom that haunts your opponents as long as he’s surrounded by Rage!

Key features:

  • Invisible AND invincible ghost form
  • Can only exist in rage spell areas
  • Same devastating damage as regular LJ
  • Available Feb 3rd, 2025 with Pass Royale

Who else is hyped to unleash this vengeful spirit on the arena? 🔥
