Key Takeaways from the Designer Blog by Supercell:

  • Primary focus when balancing cards is to get them to 4-12% use rate and 45-55% win rate
  • Statistically balanced cards sometimes lead to a downward turn for the meta
  • Metagame is not fun when powerful area-damage ranged attackers are prevalent
  • Balances should not fundamentally change the function of a card, thus the Witch will have her area damage back
  • Halted in-progress reworks for other area damage attackers (Bomber, Bowler, Wizard, etc)
  • Planned reworks for Arrows and Heal to be implemented over the next few months.

Battle Healer

  • New Rare card
  • 4 Elixir
  • Heals herself
  • Heals Friendly troops
  • Although hovering troops were intended to be introduced in the upcoming Season 6, Supercell has decided to keep Battle Healer and Royal Ghost as ground troops.

Card Boost

The card boost will be activated for the duration of the season once you have unlocked the Battle Healer. The card that gets boosted is not user selectable and is decided by the game only. It comes as a free feature that everyone can enjoy.

Game Rule Changes

  • All games will now be 5 minutes long
  • Overtime still lasts for 2 minutes, with 3x Elixir generation in the last minute.
Time Elixir Phase
1 min 1x
2 min 1x
3 min 2x
4 min 2x Overtime
5 min 3x Overtime

Creator Codes

  • Support us with RoyaleAPI
  • Works in Clash Royale, Clash of Clans and Brawl Stars
  • Remember to enter again after 7 days
  • Creators get a percentage of the sales when players spend on Pass Royale and purchasing gems at the shop.
  • Purchasing items with gems e.g. spending 250 gems on emotes will not contribute to the creators. This differs from the Brawl Stars creator codes, where creators get the benefit when the player makes purchases with their gems.
