Hello r/ClashRoyale!

We here at Supercell are extremely excited to announce our latest update. Brace yourselves for a big one, The Flood is here!

INTRODUCING CLASH ROYALE SEASON 1: THE FLOOD

A mighty tide has swept through the Royale world, bringing with it a new Arena, new card, and new features - the biggest of which is Pass Royale!

---

PASS ROYALE

Pass Royale unlocks rewards & instant perks that include a unique Tower Skin & Emote, automatic chest unlocking, unlimited Special Challenge entries, and much more!

Earn Crowns to unlock Pass Royale reward tiers and Crown Chests!

Available for purchase in-game. See more Pass Royale information here.

SEASON 1 PASS ROYALE REWARDS & PERKS

  • Season 1 Tower Skin

Tower Skins have arrived to Clash Royale

Unlock the unique Shark Tank Tower Skin for your King Tower (and Princess Towers) with Pass Royale!

You can find Tower Skins in your Emote Deck tab.

  • Season 1 Emote

Fisherman's freshwater friend has a mean left fin.

(The Season 1 Tower Skin & exclusive Emote can only be earned in Season 1 - this is your only chance to get them! If you unlock them, you get to keep them forever.)

  • Many More Rewards

Pass Royale is packed with extra rewards, including chests, cards, gold, and more!

PASS ROYALE PERKS (UNLOCK INSTANTLY)

  • Automatic Chest Unlocking

Queue up your next chest to start unlocking automatically!

  • Unlimited Special Challenge Retries

Lost a Special Challenge? Enter & retry Special Challenges until you get the rewards - without spending Gems!

  • Golden Name Cosmetic

Your player name gets a cosmetic change, unique to Pass Royale.

  • Lightning Strikes

All Pass Royale chests get Lightning Strikes - Strikes give you more chances to get the cards that you want!

---

CROWN CHEST CHANGES

With the introduction of Pass Royale, we have changed how Crown Chests work.

  • Crown Chests are now earned in the FREE tiers of Pass Royale. Each tier contains a Crown Chest. Every 24 hours, 1 tier will unlock. Except on weekends, when 2 tiers unlock every 24 hours! (1 tier = 1 Crown Chest)
    • With Pass Royale, you unlock tiers just by earning Crowns - there is no timer!
  • Crown Chests now stack more than once. If you don't manage to complete your last one you no longer miss out! For example, if you only play Clash Royale on the weekend, you will still have the 5 Crown Chests from Monday - Friday waiting for you to unlock!
  • Crown Chests still require 10 Crowns to open, so no change there!

PLAYING WITHOUT PASS ROYALE

FREE tier rewards!

  • Crown Chests (they stack - no more missing out if you don't play for a few days!)
  • A FREE LEGENDARY in the final Season tier (if you are Arena 7 or higher)

Players with Pass Royale earn both Pass Royale & FREE rewards

---

SEASON 1: THE FLOOD HAS ARRIVED...

This marks the first of the new Seasonal events in Clash Royale. Seasons will either last 28 or 35 days, and will involve a global change for all Clash Royale players at the same time!

  • Fight Through The Flood

The Flood has taken over - the home screen of Clash Royale has been updated!

  • New Arena

Battle aboard an all-new Arena... Fisherman’s Float!

  • New Card - Fisherman

Bringing a new grappling mechanic to Clash Royale, Fisherman pulls enemies towards him (slowing them in the process) and then slaps them with his trusted fish, causing melee damage and adding a slow effect. He can also pull himself to the nearest enemy building or Tower!

  • New Game Modes

Take To The Skies

A flooded arena proves to be a great battleground. Only air troops are allowed in this game mode!

Fisherman's Catch

This Fisherman doesn’t take sides. Until you capture him! The newest troop sits in the middle of the Arena, and will join the side of whoever destroys his shield first.

'RULEBOOK' UPDATE: MELEE RANGES

Since we launched Clash Royale in 2016, cards with a Range under 2 have been classified as ‘Melee’, but many cards had dramatically different ranges that were not clearly communicated.

With this update, melee cards have been classified as Melee: Long / Medium / Short. This will help clear up seemingly ‘random’ interactions where one troop attacks first but it's not obvious why.

For reference - a tile refers to the squares you see on the Arena that affect unit placement, range, and more!

Melee Range: Long (1.6 tiles)

CARD RANGE
Mega Minion Range: 2 -> 1.6
Minions Range: 2 -> 1.6
Night Witch Range: 1.65 -> 1.6
Prince Range: 1.85 -> 1.6

Melee: Medium (1.2 tiles)

CARD RANGE
Dark Prince Range: 1.25 -> 1.2 (Area Damage Radius 1.25 -> 1.2)
Goblin Giant Range: 1.25 -> 1.2
Elite Barbarians Range: 1 -> 1.2
Knight Range: 1 -> 1.2
Mega Knight Range: 1 -> 1.2
Miner Range: 1.3 -> 1.2
Mini P.E.K.K.A Range: 1.05 -> 1.2
Valkyrie Range: 1 -> 1.2 (Area Damage Radius 1 -> 1.2)

Melee: Short (0.8 tiles)

CARD RANGE
Rascal Boy Range: 1 -> 0.8

All other troops with a range of 0.8 tiles or less will retain their current range. All of these troops will be classified as being Melee: Short.

Other Improvements & Bug Fixes

Trophy Road

  • Trophy Road now supports random draft card rewards (choose a random pick over a pre-selected card choice)
  • Goblin Cage is now unlockable at 3750 Trophies

Fixes

  • Fix for players experiencing a Season reset when the League Season was still active
  • Fixed an issue where Trophy count after a loss could drop by an unexpected amount
  • UI fixes for challenge menus
  • UI support for additional screen ratios
  • UI fixes for Trophy Road
  • Fix for being unable to use your free name change if you had a negative Gem total
  • UI fixes in 2v2
  • Fix for boost timers showing inconsistent time remaining values
  • Fixes for low memory devices crashing when running out of memory

Draft

  • Draft tables have been updated to guarantee a Building-targeting troop for each player
  • Cards have been rearranged in choices to eliminate direct counter situations (like P.E.K.K.A vs. Giant drafts)
  • Some cards have been removed from all draft selections due to polarizing match ups

Quests

  • We've seen your feedback! Quests have been updated.
  • We now have a wider variety of Quests of varying difficulty
  • Higher difficulty Quests have higher rewards
  • Removed quests like 'Win a 1v1 Battle 900 times with Heal and Wall Breakers'
  • Quests are now no longer limited to specific game types - they can be completed in any game mode (except Training Camp, Private Tournaments and Friendly Battles)!

Cards

  • Barbarian Barrel now correctly hits its intended radius (this matches the visual animation - radius has decreased so that it no longer hits units that it doesn't touch)

Other

  • Special Challenges no longer have 'base rewards'. Special Challenge reward milestones will compensate for this

Update your game today and enjoy Clash Royale Season 1: The Flood!

See you in the (very wet) Arena!

The Clash Royale Team

EDIT:

We’re aware of the following bugs 🐛

- Overtime on Ladder has returned to 1 minute from 3 minutes

- Quests from before the update still use the old Quest rules - once completed/replaced they will be new Quests

- Text issues on some languages

We are evaluating all of the issues and looking into performing a maintenance either today or tomorrow.

Can we have an example ?

Is pass Royale a 1 time purchase for all seasons?

Edit: asked this before I saw price of it

there will be a new pass royale each season.

season 1 pass royale will be just for season 1 season 2 pass royale will be for season 2, etc.

hope that helps!

Is this the low resolution graphics I am seeing? The arenas all have a very limited colour palette and some of the sprites look blurry.

It looks awful.

Edit: screenshots

hey - this is correct.

for some devices we have had to sacrifice some of the nicer/more device-intensive graphics to get the crashes to stop.

this is something we will look towards optimizing in the future for certain devices

Is the season pass one time payment? Somebody said that it would be monthly payment. I'm just paranoid, so that's why i want to ask.

pass royale for season 1 is a one-off payment for the current season - you don't get entered into an auto-renewing subscription or anything like that

Will season 1: the flood take place for just this season on ladder or until the next update? Or will the updates be coming every season

updates every season! 🙌

My Iphone 6s didn’t have any crashes and lagging before but my game still got downgraded in graphics. Worse thing is it also started lagging and borderline unplayable.

Can we get an option to revert low graphics?

i think iPhone 6S and iPad Mini 4 are two of the devices that are displaying these graphics when they don't necessarily need to. we will be looking into this in an upcoming maintenance - not sure when that will be though.

I play every day and will most likely get all the crown chests unlocked up to the last day. If we buy the battle pass on day 34 or 35 do we still get all the rewards from the previous days?

yes! you just have to make sure to collect them

Are we still gong to have crown chest daily or it's replaced by the free ones on the pass royale for 35 days?

crown chests now live in pass royale - so the crown chests appear there instead!

If you do not unlock everything in the season one pass in the 35 days or whatever are those rewards gone from you forever? Like you can't have access to them, like if you don't get to the tower skin you will never get that tower skin? Or does it stack into next season?

I let my chest cycle and crown chests lapse a lot as it is stressful to keep up with it.

yes you have to unlock everything within the 35 days to get it.

the new crown chests change means that you are never left with 'wasted' crowns (e.g playing when your crown chest is not there to fill) - if you have pass royale and earn crowns they are added to your total throughout the season! this should make it a lot easier to collect crowns and earn those pass royale rewards.

once they have been unlocked and claimed the season 1 rewards are yours to keep!

In the next season map, or even if you could change this season, please leave off any cosmetic changes to the middle of the map. The grills or grates or whatever is messing up my building placements so I am usually placing my defensive building too high or too low. Thanks!

thanks for the feedback!

Hi, I'm sure you're aware of the shop bug (Numerous people's game crash when entering the shop). Will this be fixed today or tomorrow?

we are aware. can't give an ETA right now on a fix but we certainly know about it!

Not sure if this is a good place to post this but as a new/returning player in Arena 7, is there any good sites with up to date build guides and strategy? A lot of information when I search is older meta stuff and doesn’t seem as relevant. (Looking to buy the pass and get back into playing)

here's some sites owned and run by the community!

https://www.deckshop.pro/

https://royaleapi.com/

https://statsroyale.com/

there are lots more out there but i usually use these when i need to grab a new deck
