Clash Royale Dev Tracker

there is still a LOT of stuff to work on!

so yes, april is not when the update drops (but it will still have the new heal card and seasonal content!)

Most of the team has been working from home offices this week on recommendation of the Finnish government, but I don't think it has impacted our productivity too much. We are very lucky to have a job that allows us to work remotely and still get stuff done. Maybe we'll go stir crazy in a month but at least this first week has gotten a lot of new stuff in the game :)

my current ladder deck:

poison
goblin cage
firecracker
valkyrie
skeletons
golem
zap
dart goblin

i know it's off meta trash but i'm having fun with it lol

Initially we wanted Royal Delivery to be a defense against swarm troops and fragile things at the bridge, but its clear thats not quite enough use cases to justify a slot in your deck. We are playing around with significantly increased damage or perhaps even spawning 2 Recruits. We are playing around with more interactions but it feels clear that there needs to be more awesome trades possible with it to make it into the meta.

We've been really happy with how the Barb Hut change has made it viable, we may make that a standard design for spawners. If Gob Hut gets buffed, look for something like a shortened lifetime + added Death Spawn of a couple Spear Goblins.

At least one of them, for sure :)

Hey guys,

We wanted to give you a bit of a small update on what we have been up to the past few weeks and also the chance for a bit of a casual AMA with myself and u/Supercell-Seth.

We'll be checking this thread over the next few days and answering some questions!

This weekend

• We brought back Legendaray's awesome Infinite Elixir Challenge for a bit of goofy 20 win Challenge fun over the weekend alongside the more serious Global Tournament.
• We will also be adding 7x Elixir to Party rotation starting next Season
• We have the awesome community run ...

I don't think we'll ever go back to OG Three Musketeers, the thought was something like:

Deploy Time 2s -> 1s

Stagger Time per Musky 0.5s -> 1s

Keeping the delayed/slower deployment, but taking it away from a static 2s to making later Musketeers arrive a bit later. There is no rush on this, it may never happen. 3M bounce around 2-3% usage and maybe, like Xbow/Mortar, that's an appropriate usage for a fringe/spicy strategy

I legit scrolled by this post and thought "wait I didn't eat a cake yesterday"

thanks to legendaray for coming up with the chaos!

RE: playing it again - we hear ya. i'm currently seeing if this can be added to friendly challenges without a maintenance.

happy birthday seth!

I agree - people really underestimate cycling Earthquakes. It's pretty common to see people cycle Log or Zap for chip damage - 2 Elixir for 84 damage (42/e). Meanwhile, a cycled EQ is 3 elixir for 183 damage (61/e). It's not ideal but I don't think it's a totally dead card either, especially if you factor in the slowing effect producing 'extra' damage from your Hog/Giant getting more swings in.

Considering it for next month, but Magic Archer is right on the line of strong-but-maybe-not-OP:

All Leagues: 17% use (47% win)

7000+ Ladder: 15% use (51% win)

Challenges: 23% use (53% win)

8+ Wins: 24% use (50% win)

All of these numbers are basically in-line with Baby Dragon. If the goal of buffing MA was to reduce Baby Dragon numbers to provide more options, then it was a success. Perhaps you could say both cards are OP and need nerfs, but swarmy/spell bait kind of decks are still very viable with both of these splashers getting a lot of use, so nerfing one or both would make spell bait even stronger.

When you think about cards that you would WANT to be on the upper end of strength, Magic Archer is a pretty good design. He's 4-cost, which isn't too low. His strength comes from timing and placement geometry, so he's high skill. He's easily countered by Spells and fragile enough to die in pretty much any direct combat.

Overa...

It will not! Battle Healer has a separate healing effect from the Heal spell, the rework will not affect any other card.

hey, we have a fix for this that we have now tested and confirmed is working.

this fix should be going out sometime today!

sorry for the issues and lack of a response - i wanted to make sure we had a verified fix before commenting.

This will be fixed in the next client update - Royal Delivery is a bit unique from Barb Barrel under the hood which is why they aren't identical. We spent a bit of time fudging the code trying to get them identical but it wasn't possible over-the-air. So hopefully by the next full update they'll look the same :)

For the curious, Barb Barrel is a projectile that spawns a Barb. Royal Delivery is an area-effect (like Freeze or Rage) that spawns a projectile that spawns a Recruit. That extra layer of separation means the Card Info screen 'misses' it, as those screens are auto-generated based on card stats. The info screen isn't looking 2-3 levels down, which is why it's not 'finding' the Recruit stats.

hey guys, i can't deal with support issues via the subreddit (especially threads like this where more than one person is affected) but if you contact support about this issue they will resolve it for you.

i'll be looking into this. thanks for posting.

just commenting here that we will most likely be making a change to the arena tomorrow alongside the balance changes.

the original idea was to slow it down to half speed with the balance changes tomorrow (we had feedback from youtubers with the dev build about this last week).

but it may be better for those who don't like the moving arena to just halt it completely and have a static arena. so we are currently sorting that out and testing it.

i will say i am very surprised by the amount of people getting motion sickness/dizzy from this arena so thanks for the feedback! it will help inform how we design future arenas.

this badge will unfortunately not be available until our next client update (forced app update) due to the way these badges are implemented.

you will still be able to unlock the 4 year badge correctly (retroactively) once it is added, but there will be a slight delay in getting the badge to you. sorry about that!
