Balance Changes
Balances will be live on Tuesday, October 6, 2020. Discuss on Reddit
Musketeer (Nerf)
  |
Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| First Hit +60% Slower | 0.5 sec | 0.8 sec |
- Many players have already noticed that Musketeer has been dominant in the meta — in both regular play as well as competitive play.
- Supercell has decided to reduce her “First Hit Speed” to make her feel more like a high damage troop, and to distinguish her from other long ranged high hit speed troops like Archers, Dart Goblins and Magic Archer.
- First Hit Speed is the time needed for a unit to make their first hit after walking or being deployed.
- As Three Musketeers are composed of 3 Musketeers, this nerf also affects these three ladies.
- This parameter is not present on the card info screen in the current game UI, but it has a signficant impact on a card’s performance.
- Noting the importance of these values, the Clash Royale team is planning to improve the card info screens and to add more of these useful but currently hidden values in future updates.
Skeleton Dragons (Nerf)
 |
Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Hit Time +12% Slower | 1.7 sec | 1.9 sec |
| Hit Speed -11% Slower | 1 / 1.7 sec | 1 / 1.9 sec |
| DPS -11% | 133/1.7 78.24 |
133/1.9 70 |
- Skeleton Dragons got nerfed in Season 13, but that hasn’t affected their use rates and win rates, so they are getting a Hit Speed nerf in Season 16.
- As usual, care should be taken when discussing Hit Speed in Clash Royale. The game info screen expresses this number in seconds, which is technically the time interval between each hit. The math for calculating the actual change of speed is thus:
- (1/1.9 - 1/1.7) / (1/1.7) = -11%
- Changing the Hit Speed effectively changes the Damage Per Second (DPS) also.
- (133/1.9 - 133/1.7) / (133/1.7) = -11%
Heal Spirit (Nerf)
 |
Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Healing Effect -9% | 366 / sec | 332 / sec |
- Despite getting a radius nerf in Season 15, Heal Spirit continued to be a must-have card in every deck.
- Supercell will be reducing its healing effect by 9%, which is effectively one level down from what it is right now — a Level 9 Heal Spirit will heal as much HP in Season 16 as a Level 8 Heal Spirit right now in Season 15.
- The heal duration is one second, so the total HP healed by the spirit is going from 366 to 332 as well.
Battle Healer (Buff) and Royal Ghost (Buff)
  |
Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Hover | No | Yes |
- Technically speaking, the Hover mechanic was introduced when Battle Healer entered the arena in Season 6.
- But for unknown reasons, Supercell has decided to not enable this ability until now. We suspect that it has to do with some quirks and interactions with the previous client.
- This mechanic allows troops with this ability to cross the river, and as such, open up new strategic possibilities for players to experiment!
- These two changes make sense also from a visual perspective, since Battle Healer and Royal Ghost don’t touch the ground when they move.
- Troops with the Hover ability are still ground troops — and as such, they are not considered air units.
