It's a balancing act

Clash Royale certainly has been a busy bee recently, and it isn't slowing down just yet. It's almost time for another round of balance changes and here's what you can expect.

Oh, and yes, Sparky's back.

  • Sparky: Hit speed to 4sec (from 5sec), damage -15%
    • Sparky will no longer one-shot another Sparky.
  • Tesla: Damage +30%, hit speed to 1sec (from 0.8sec)
    • Tesla will one-shot Minions and Goblins.
  • Electro Wizard: Damage -4%, first attack comes 0.2sec slower
  • Graveyard: Duration to 10sec (from 9sec), radius to 4 (from 5), first Skeleton spawns 0.5sec slower, Skeletons spawn less randomly
  • Cannon Cart: Hitpoints +5%, shield hitpoints +5%
    • Cannon Cart's shield will survive a Mega Knight jump and hit.
  • Lightning: Damage -3%, radius to 3 (from 3.5)
  • Spear Goblins: Hit speed to 1.1sec (from 1.3sec)
  • Valkyrie: Damage +5%
    • Valkyrie will one-shot Princesses and Dart Goblins, and take down Barbarians in three attacks.

It wouldn't be much a balance update if there weren't a few fixes to note, so here we go:

  • Bandit, Mega Knight - FIXED: Bandit and Mega Knight dashing/jumping a shorter distance than they should.
  • Cannon Cart - FIXED: Troops occasionally stopped targeting the Cannon Cart and very occasionally get stuck behind a broken Cannon Cart.
  • Inferno Dragon, Inferno Tower - FIXED: Damage not resetting after breaking through a shield (e.g. Guards, Dark Prince, Cannon Cart).
  • Troop Pathfinding - FIXED: Troops steering towards an unexpected lane. Behaviour should be more as expected now.

These changes are due to go live on iOS and Android sometime today (October 9th).
