Clash Royale Dev Tracker

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!

the royal recruit is kept in the box against his will for weeks at a time, until he is launched to certain death in the arena, where his ravenous cannibalistic lust for flesh must be satiated!

or we just had space to fill in the arenas (each one has a certain amount of unlock slots) and didn't want to mess with the current formula - at least until we have filled all arena slots!

good catch - i'll double check to make sure it's correct and edit accordingly.

that lava hound pathing issue is an interesting one - i'll chat with seth about it on monday, thanks.

1. hopefully it lets players like you be a bit more aware of what our future plans are for balance!
2. yes! it was originally going to get a 5% damage buff alongside the crown tower damage reduction.
   also to deal full damage to towers and get a 60% regular dmg nerf (!)
   that last one was just an idea/discussion (part of a bigger discussion as to why he is the only troop to not deal full dmg to towers) but the first one was tested until we went with the one you see now!
3. thanks - i truly appreciate hearing that!
4. maybe - we are trying to tackle some emotes for cards that don't have any yet!

These changes will go LIVE on Tuesday 3rd March!

This Season we take a look at Miner, Golem, Earthquake, Cannon and Cannon Cart!

MINER

Crown Tower Damage reduced 40% > 35%

WHY?

Miner is perhaps the most versatile Troop in the entire game, providing a primary or secondary win condition while also removing defenders. The biggest issue we saw with Miner is that the higher skill you got, the more necessary Miner became. Miner was the single most played card in top end Challenge battles or Ultimate Champion league, with an eye-popping 42% usage while maintaining a high win rate. The second place card, Zap, clocks in at 32%.

Miner has a damage reduction against Crown Towers very similar to Spells. A while back, Spells were nerfed to deal 35% damage to Towers instead of 40%. For Miner now, we are matching that amount for consistency and to reduce Miner’s effectiveness as...

wanted to chime in here as well!

most of the issue here stems from 2v2 being the best way to get max cards on collection day, because it isn't 'gimmicky' like wallbreaker rush etc and is more 'true/skillbased'.

me and seth talked last night about adding a 1v1 tournament standard/ladder level mode to collection day to combat this.

it's become increasingly clear from feedback that it isn't the 2v2 game mode itself which is missed by pro clans, but rather the chance to win a more 'true' skill-based match and therefore maximise your collection day cards. (of course there is also those that just play 2v2 because they actually like it)

we will talk more with the team on monday but if we feel this is a good solution then it will go in on tuesday alongside the balance update.

this is fake.

real balance update reveal tomorrow. only one of these cards is even correct!

yeh... that doesn't seem fair. i have passed on to support to take another look at the ticket and see if there is a way they can donate you the gems back.

we ran into some unexpected trouble after the maintenance - we will be fixing this very shortly.
