Season 34 Mighty Mine (April 2022, Q1 Update)

It’s game update time! As promised in previous year, Clash Royale will be getting a game update every quarter — and that time is now. Season 34 will coincide with the quarterly update.

The focus for this update will lay the foundations for future updates. Specifically, Supercell wishes to provide an alternative way for players to progress, and provide a fun and rewarding way for players to try more decks instead of one-tricking the same deck they have played since they have installed the game.

So what‘s in this update?

• New Champion Mighty Miner
• Reworked badge system
• Card Mastery
• Quality of Life Improvements
• Bug Fixes

Let’s dive in!

Mighty Miner - New Card

A new Champion card will come with this update — Mighty Miner!

Unlike Miner, Mighty Miner isn’t able to burrow under ground at the start of the battle, so you must deploy on your side of the arena only. His main weapon is a Drill that increases damage output over time — similar to how Inferno Tower behaves.

While effective against single targets, he is weak against swarm units since he can only target one troop at a time. However, once deployed, you can use his Explosive Escape ability (2 elixir) and drill to the other side of the arena while dropping a bomb where he once stood. This allows him to perform a quick escape and switch lanes for further attacks — creating possibilities for many surprise attacks!

Reworked Badge System

Some badges will have 8 levels. Some will have 10 levels. The system is intentionally flexible by design, making it possible to add more levels where needed.

Minor issue with the Ladder / GT Badge

As part of this rework, the “three best finishes” will be removed and be replaced by a single badge which shows the number of times a player has been in Top-1000 Ladder or Top-1000 GT. While some would enjoy this change, I am slightly concerned that some players may find this change to be an upgrade.

To be clear, Mohamed Light’s perfect 111/111 profile will become Top Ladder x3 after the update, with the ranks removed from the UI.

I hope that Supercell will find a way to re-implement these as seeing specific top ranks are in fact much more impressive to me than seeing someone with 100x Top 1k finish.

Card Mastery

New in this update is Card Mastery. As the name implies, it is an achievement system that evaluate and reward players for playing specific cards.

Tasks will be given for each card, with example tasks like dealing X amount of damage to unlock a tier. As you unlock each level, you will be given a small amount of Gems or Gold as reward, together with a badge on your player profile.

When the update is live, every player will start their Card Mastery progression at 0. At launch, only 2 types of tasks are available. However, a third type of tasks will be available at a later date.

Examples

Task 1 Rewards

Rarity	1st Tier	2nd Tier	3rd Tier
Common	200 cards	2000 Gold	150 Gems
Rare	100 cards	4000 Gold	150 Gems
Epic	20 cards	6000 Gold	150 Gems
Legendary	2 cards	8000 Gold	150 Gems
Champion	1 card	10000 Gold	150 Gems

Total:

Type 2 Rewards

Rarity	1st Tier	2nd Tier	3rd Tier
Common	3000 Gold	x200	300 Gems
Rare	6000 Gold	x100	300 Gems
Epic	9000 Gold	x20	300 Gems
Legendary	12000 Gold	x2	300 Gems
Champion	15000 Gold	300 Gems	450 Gems

Total

Total in USD

We’ve done the math — the total value of all the rewards is about 488 USD!

Qualify of Life

The 2022 Q1 Update will have lots of quality-of-life improvements!

Hide Crown Counter / Trophies

Player have long complained about the crown counter on the sides of the UI. This counter will now vanish after X seconds at the start of the battle and appears again only when a crown is taken.

Permanent 1v1 Showdown

Previously known as the “Practice party mode”, the 1v1 Showdown mode will be here to stay forever. In this party mode, you will play with your own card levels, and you can earn chests when you win — but your trophies won’t change whether you win or lose.

Copy deck from challenges

It’s finally here — you can now copy decks from deck slots to play in challenges!

Bandit Bug Fix

Bandit dash is fixed!

Fisherman Bug Fix

Fisherman sometimes get stuck in the middle of the battle field. It’s now fixed.

120Hz Mode

You can now toggle for 120Hz mode if your device supports it

Lightning Area of Effect

Similar to all other spells in the game, Lightning will now have its visual area of effect. 🚨 This means that you won’t be able to cast an “invisible lightning” at the bridge to cycle cards in the beginning of the battle anymore. After the update, this will show up in the arena and your opponent will know that you have just wasted 6 elixir!

Other improvements

Here’s a list of minor bug fixes and improvements implemented in the 2022 Q1 update (verbatim from patch notes):

• Fixed an issue with Golden Knight not dashing properly while targeting a moving unit.
• Fixed an issue where cloning Skeleton King during his ability animation would cancel the ability.
• Fixed a rare crash when players in lower arenas are using strikes on their chest rewards.
• Fix deploy SFX for Electro Giant and Mother Witch.
• Fixed a rare crash when Electro-Giant received certain types of damage.
• Fixed an issue with Electro-Giant’s zap damage behaving inconsistently.
• Fixed an issue where units could sometimes ignore the pull effect of Tornado.
• Fixed a crash that could occur in Mega Deck modes.
• Fixed issues with name creation/changes that could cause the player to disconnect.
• Fixed issues when viewing clan mates’ cards in the clan chat.
• Fixed a stats rounding issue with the Skeleton King’s summoned skeletons.
• Fixed a number of rare crash occurrences.
• Numerous back-end improvements and optimizations.
