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

You can find Tower Skins in your Emote Deck tab.

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.

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.
