updateSummer update is coming very soon! It will include many quality-of-life changes and two new cards. In this post, we will talk about the new emotes, improvements on the 1v1 Arena Battles, the much improved gold economy, and many drastic improvements to the clan wars.
New cards
Check out card interactions and card stats about the two new cards — Giant Snowball and Royal Hogs — in our first update
New emotes
- Goblin and Princess Emotes are here!
- Pick them up from the Shop and craft your Emote Deck
- New emotes will be added regularly (Clash Royale is aiming to add them every week!)
- Emotes will be available in the shop and will cost $3 (USD) for a pack of 4
1v1 Arena Battles
League Resets are -50% trophies, up to a max of 5800. All players over 7600 will end up at 5800
- e.g. a 5000 Trophy player will be reset to 4500
- This new, more gradual system will give everyone playing 1v1 Arena Battles a better time when the League Season resets each month!
1v1 Arena Battles (aka Ladder) above 4000 Trophies will now have 3min Sudden Death like Challenges.
- The goal here is to make a singular meta in Challenges / top Ladder.
- Players should not need to have two versions of the same archetype because of minor rules disparities.
Unlock order of cards throughout the Arenas has been rearranged, for the following reasons:
- To create Arenas where cards complement each other mechanically
- Ensure there are always answers to win conditions within an Arena
- Move low use rate, spicy cards to later Arenas
- Where possible, match cards thematically to their Arena
- Each new Arena will introduce new or unique mechanics
Much improved gold/reward economy
Gold rewards DOUBLED (includes War Chest and Clan Wars Victory Gold)
Silver, Gold, Giant, Magical and Crown Chests now contain less Commons, but more Rares, more Epics and a lot more gold!
The issues the Clash Royale team is addressing is the disparity of rarities — specifically the non-legendary ones at this point — that has largely led to things like overleveling of commons with rares and epics dragging on far behind. The other thing is the gold rewards particularly in relation to the amount of cards you get.
So far the idea has been to address these heavily with new features and while the team has done it, it is now blatantly clear that it hasn’t been enough and it never will be unless the dev team touches the basic chests in the game and the regular core chest cycle and crown chest.
There are changes to the following chests:
Crown Chest: less commons, more rares, higher epic chance, a lot more gold
Silver Chest: More cards, 2 guaranteed rares in Legendary Arena, more gold (also to distinct it better from Free Chest)
Gold Chest: less commons, more rares, a lot more gold
Magical Chest: less commons and rares, double epics
Giant Chest: triple gold
Basically it’s about giving more distinction to the chests while addressing the rarity disparity and adding more gold to the core game.
Free Chest remains unchanged
Super Magical Chest remains unchanged
In Clan Wars ALL gold rewards are doubled!
Clan Wars Season Chests have doubled gold rewards
Victory Gold in all Clan Wars Leagues are doubled
Note: Victory Gold for Ladder matches are not doubled. The double victory gold applies to Clan Wars battles only.
You can also expect the event economy with e.g. special challenges to be improved.
Clan Wars
New Clan War Collections - your clan will be guaranteed to have 2 damage Spells (prior it was possible to get only 1), and you will be guaranteed multiple cards from low arenas so any new player should be able to make a reasonable deck
New Draft Tables - the drafting has been updated to include more new cards, less random choices, and decks should be a bit more cohesive than before. Gone are the days of PEKKA vs. Clone choices.
Classic Deck Battles in Clan Wars means there will always be a tournament standard mode available, either Classic Decks or Draft. These decks will also be updated over time as we watch the win rates and meta. Let the community know we are watching for feedback and will make changes as needed
