Hey Reddit,
It’s been a few days since Season 2 dropped, and we've seen a LOT of discussion this week. We wanted to open up this thread as a bit of a Discussion Thread just to see what's on your mind, and to provide you with some of our thoughts as well.
Think of it as a super casual AMA where myself and u/Supercell-Seth will be answering questions about Season 2 and anything else. (Please note that not replying to a question does not mean we have ignored it!)

We also wanted to take this opportunity to provide some info on our ideas for Season 3 Balance Changes to let you know what's currently on our mind, and for some community feedback way ahead of time. These are NOT final.
EXECUTIONER (REWORK)
- Damage Increased A LOT!!
- Range Reduced a moderate amount
- Hit Speed Reduced a little bit
- Health Reduced a tiny bit
The Executioner has lagged behind in win/use rates for a while in competitive play. Directly buffing him has been undesirable due to his general toughness and lack of counterplay.
Executioner's high health, long range, and spatial control leaves him with very few weaknesses, and his existing design overlaps with Wizard a lot.
We wanted a solid ranged attacker that could counter Fireball-bait type strategies, especially squads of Barbarians. Executioner's rework is going to make him a shorter range but very deadly ranged attacker. He can be countered by longer-range attacker but you'll want to pray for anyone caught in his axe range.
FISHERMAN
- Hits Air Troops
We wanted a general stat buff first to get Fisherman to an appropriate state for his cost. However, its clear that being limited to Ground-only attacks will forever make Fisherman a bit of a niche card.
Fisherman will gain the ability to hook/slap Air troops, providing a well-rounded counter to cards like Balloon, Lava Hound, and all the Dragons you might encounter in the Arena!

Some other news of note, we have parted ways with Daria who was the other Community Manager for Royale. But don’t worry, you guys are still stuck with me. 😉
If you haven't seen it already, the latest Emote is currently up for grabs in the Goblin Barrel Draft Challenge, and it's one of our faves so far. Who doesn't want a pirate Goblin in a barrel??
Let us know what you think of the above balance thoughts, and feel free to ask some questions!
Drew, Seth & The Clash Royale Team
EDIT: Thanks for all your questions and feedback! Seth and myself had a blast answering them.
