High Chance

Rare
Dragons Army
Golden Knight
Mother Witch
Extremely Rare
Love Bomb
This is, in my opinion, the best free banner for the season.
Lover Jack
Rascals
This banner is named “Rascals” and I have no idea why since it shows the Goblin Giant… What do you think? 🤔
Shop
Chibi Pride
The Chibi series returns with some rainbow banners. The rainbow colors celebrate the diversity of life. This one shows a Rascal Girl holding a rainbow banner.
Chibi Valentine
Another rainbow banner with the Archer shooting love arrows.
Pack: Cherubins + Giant Skeleton in Love + Love Rider
The special offer returns, where you’ll get 3 foreground and 1 background in a single package
Here’s how they look individually:
Cherubins
Giant Skeleton in Love
Over-the-top insanity overload. This is definitely my favorite in all of the paid banner offers at the shop!
Love Rider
This is super fun also. 🤣
Challenges and Global Tournaments
Double-Date Draft (2v2): February 6-12
The season will kick off with a 2v2 challenge. Draft mode — so you’ll probably want to play with a friend with voice chat. Lucky you if you’ve got a friend to play with in real life!
Royal Tournament (Mega Draft): February 11-15
Mega Draft returns in a Global Tournament! This is where you’ll shine if you just don’t like playing against meta decks.
Super Magic Archer: February 13-19
The special troops return with the Super Magic Archer. This challenge has two stages, and you can can win an emote at each of these stages.
Stage 1 is casual mode. You’ll win the Magic Archer: Magic Bow emote at 8 wins. This is the first time we’ve seen an emote offered in casual mode.
Stage 2 is regular mode, where the challenge will end after 3 losses — but you’ll be able to pick up where you left off with gems or a free continue with the pass. You’ll win the Magic Archer: Magic Heart emote at 10 wins.
Gameplay 1
Super Magic Archer costs 5 elixir and deals minimal damage (1 dmg at challenge level). But when his arrows shoot through an enemy troop, the troop will “fall in love” and switch sides to fight for you!
See the video above to get a better idea, but here are some screen grabs to illustrate the action.
Opponent plays Goblin Giant, and you put down a Pekka to defend, and play Super Magic Archer behind.
His arrows shoots through Goblin Giant (indicated by the heart icons)
…and now the Goblin Giant joins your team and fight alongside your team!
Gameplay 2
Here’s another scenario — you’ve got a Pekka walking across the river and the Super Magic Archer is right behind…
Your opponent defends with a Monk, and activates his ability.
The reflected arrows are considered to be your opponent’s, so they flip your Pekka and Super Magic Archer to play as your opponent’s team.
Gameplay 3
In this third replay, we have a similar setup as the first replay, with Pekka defending against the Goblin Giant again.
Your Super Magic Archer hits the Goblin Giant, while your opponent’s Super Magic Archer hits your Pekka.
The end result is the flipped Pekka now attacking your tower directly, while the flipped Goblin Giant walking across the river.
You can flip your Pekka back by shooting at him.
Needless to say, these battles are super chaotic and loads of fun. I hope that you’ll enjoy the challenge!
Stats
Here’s how the Super Magic Archer compare with the regular Magic Archer
Super Magic Archer | Magic Archer | |
---|---|---|
Elixir | 5 | 4 |
Area Damage | 1 | 134 |
Hit Points | 701 | 532 |
Hit Speed | 2 sec | 1.1 sec |
Mirror, Mirror: February 20-26
The classic very fair Mirror challenge returns — Both players have the same deck and the same starting cards. Every deck contains a Mirror! Standard challenge — 3 losses and you’re out. There are lots of banner tokens in this challenge so you won’t want to miss out!
Royal Tournament (Standard): February 26 - March 1
The standard Global Tournament returns towards the end of the month.
Capture the Sparky: February 27 - March 5
Also towards the end of the month is a new game mode called “Capture the Sparky”.
Gameplay
If you’re familiar with the Mortar Capture game mode then you should be figure out how this works. A sparky sits in the middle of river for both teams to attack.
Whoever is first to win the sparky will get a free Sparky to join their team and fight for them.
Most Capture-the-X game modes tend to feature decks with Inferno Dragon and Inferno Tower, then add Electro Dragon as a counter. Come back to our site during the challenge to see what the best decks will be. Tip: data will be most accurate after the second day!
Party Modes
Double Elixir: February 6-12
Elixir generates at double speed!
Triple Draft: February 13-19
Draft your 8-card deck, picking from 3 choices at a time.
2v2 Rage: February 20-26
Someone spilt Rage all over the Arena... Everything moves and attacks faster!
Touchdown: February 27 - March 5
Get a troop into your opponent's end zone to score!
Path of Legends Config Change
The win multipliers will change at season reset on Monday, March 6, 2023.
Update 2023-02-06: Supercell clarifies that this multiplier will be applied at the end of the February season.
Previously, win multipliers were capped at 6. After the change, the multipliers will correspond to the league number.
League | Win Multiplier |
---|---|
League 1 | 1× |
League 2 | 2× |
League 3 | 3× |
League 4 | 4× |
League 5 | 5× |
League 6 | 6× |
League 7 | 7× |
League 8 | 8× |
League 9 | 9× |
League 10 | 10× |
Let’s say your first win is at 6x, and you have just won your first game. You will gain 6 steps instead of 1 step. So you have skipped 5 steps since 1 step came from your win.
With this, we can determine the following:
Before: players will be able to skip 15 steps quickly with a 6× max multiplier.
5+4+3+2+1 = 15
After: players will be able to skip 45 steps quickly with a 10× max multiplier.
9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 45
