It will switch back to the King Emperor emote for the May 2023 season, when the game mode changes back to regular 1v1. IF Supercell decides to use other game modes in the future, then this emote will come back, though we obviously don’t know if/when that will happen.

Prince: Epic Silly (Season Shop)

The sun slowly rises from the horizon, and the Prince quickly closes the visor of his helmet. Watch our video above to gain a better understanding of this scene. I’d be honest and say that being disturbed of the sun is what I think is happening… I don’t completely get what’s going on here. If you have a better explanation, let me know! 😅

Global Tournaments

Royal Tournament (Standard): April 8-11

Royal Tournament (Triple Elixir): April 22-25

Events: Feature Node

As you know, there aren’t special challenges in the new update. We’re told that win-based challenges will still return at some point, but the next season won’t have any of them. The “Feature Node” is the main game mode on the Events tab, and it will have different special game mode each week.

We’re only able to show you the first Super Archers game mode right now. We’ll show you the rest of the game modes later next week,

Super Archers: April 3-9

Super Troops are back! Super Archer is a Legendary card costing 3 Elixir. Although she has no direct damage output, her stats are highly impressive.

Clash Royale April 2023 Season 46 Boot Camp

Main Attack

Super Archer shoots arrows like a regular archer, but with a unique effect: she creates a mini tornado that pushes troops away, similar to the Log

Clash Royale April 2023 Season 46 Boot Camp

The surprising fact is that the regular Archers and the Super Archers cost the same elixir but the Super Archers cannot be killed by Fireball!

Clash Royale April 2023 Season 46 Boot Camp

Our gameplay session featured an amusing situation: a defensive Super Archer surviving indefinitely, while Royal Giant and Hog Rider could barely connect with the towers because they kept on being pushed away.

We do know that Golems will spawn every 15 seconds, but we aren’t sure of the exact locations. It may be similar to the other spawner events, with a gradually increasing number of spawns.

We’ll be able to show you this game mode next week.

Loading Screen

The new season's loading screen is packed with humor, giving viewers a warm welcome. Upon closer inspection, several characters stand out from the crowd. 😳

Path of Legends

Here’s one of the most important changes of the season — and it’s a big one. As you know, after the Q1 update, you could only earn crowns victory gold from Path of Legends or Trophy Road.

But for the April season, the Clash Royale team has decided to change things up a bit and will remove the standard 1v1 game mode from PoL. Instead, you’ll be playing Mega Draft from League 1 to League 10.

Clash Royale April 2023 Season 46 Boot Camp

Unlike previous seasons, where leagues have increasingly higher card level requirement, all the leagues will be capped at Level 11. Path of Legends usually uses card levels of the player collection, so being able to play at Level 11 instead of maxed level should be a welcoming change.

Being capped at Level 11 is not the same as friendly mode — if you haven’t upgraded all the cards to at least level 11, you’ll be playing underleveled.

Steps

The number of steps required for each league has been reduced by 20% due to extended battle time required for Mega Draft.

Here are the number of steps required for each league:

League Before After
1 10 7
2 11 6
3 11 8
4 11 8
5 11 11
6 11 9
7 8 8
8 9 8
9 11 11
10
Total 93 76

Clash Royale League (CRL)

The top 1000 players from the April season will be qualified to play in the CRL, regardless of the game mode change.

Opinions

Personally, I don’t think that reducing 20% of the steps is enough to compensate for the time to play Mega Draft. As you know, card picking in Mega Draft could take 16 x 15 sec = 240 sec = 4 minutes. If you’re like me who often hop into Clash Royale for a quick game, committing 7-9 minutes for every game would be difficult. So I suspect that I’ll have to be extra committed to play in April.

If you want to skip the steps quickly, make sure that you push as high as possible this season. For example, getting to Ultimate Champion this season will get you 10x multipliers for next season. Having 10x multipliers means that you’ll be able to gain 55 steps after 10 games (or put in other words, skipping 45 steps). This puts you much closer to that shiny new emote at League 10.

Mega Draft is a great game mode that experienced players can enjoy. It levels the playing field by using Level 11 cards and eliminates the possibility of sniping at the end of the season because of the lack of constructed decks. So many players might enjoy this, and I hope that you will.

FAQ

Will Mega Draft be played in Ultimate Champion (League 10)?

Yes. You’ll be playing Mega Draft in the Ultimate Champion league for the April 2023 season. It’s not just for League 1-9.

What happens if I haven’t unlocked a card?

The selection will still be there, but it will be greyed out and you won’t be able to pick it.

Why are card levels kept at Level 11?

Not everyone has a maxed account with every card maxed. Playing at card level 11 will truly test the skills of the player.

With Mega Draft will the game mode moving forward?

This is intended as a test by the Clash Royale team. Game mode should return back to 1v1 normal battle in the May season. However, I would assume that the data and learnings from the April season will be used for other ongoing discussions they’re having.

Will Trophy Road be in Mega Draft also?

No. Mega Draft will be the game mode for Path of Legends (ranked mode) only. Trophy Road will continue to be played using your card levels and your constructed decks.
