Clash Royale March Balance Changes

Tue Mar 04 2025

NERFS ⬇️

Arrows

Radius: 4 tiles → 3.5 tiles (-13%)

Arrows often deal incidental Crown Tower damage while targeting Troops, whereas other Spells require more precise aiming—you either hit Troops or Towers, but rarely both. We're decreasing Arrows' radius to reduce the damage spill.

The Log

Crown Tower Damage: 58 → 44 (-24%)

Similarly to Arrows, The Log’s Crown Tower damage is reduced to minimize incidental damage throughout a game.

Cannon

Hit Speed: 0.9s → 1.0s (-11%)

Cannon has dominated the battlefield for several seasons. We’re reducing its attack speed to keep it effective as a distraction while giving other defensive buildings a chance to shine.

Rage

Rage Duration (after leaving the area): 2s → 1s (-50%)

Previously, Troops remained buffed for up to 2 seconds after leaving the Rage pool. This change makes the interaction more intuitive and improves the balance of the Rage Spell and Lumberjack Evolution.

Rune Giant

Hitpoints: 2803 → 2508 (-11%)

Enchantment Duration After Rune Giant’s Destruction: ∞ → 5s

We're striving to find the healthiest balance for Rune Giant. Previously, her Enchantment was too weak when it disappeared instantly upon Rune Giant's destruction and too strong when it lasted indefinitely. Now, Enchantment will remain active for 5 seconds after Rune Giant is destroyed.

BUFFS ⬆️

Electro Wizard

Damage: 110 → 116 (+5%)

Electro Wizard is cranking up the voltage! Now, he can zap Spirits out of existence when hitting them with both attacks.

Giant Snowball Evolution

Slowdown Duration: 3s → 4s (+33%)

Giant Snowball Evolution needed a boost to stay competitive with other Evolutions. With a longer slowdown effect, it will be effective even against Buildings.

Royal Chef

Cooking Time: 24s-40s → 21s-35s (-13%)

Royal Chef was nerfed too harshly in the last balance update, so we’re partially reverting some of those changes.

REWORK 🔄

Princess

Deploy Time: 1.0s → 1.2s (+20%) First Hit Speed: 0.5s → 0.3s (-40%)

For players with higher latency, catching Princess with Troops and Buildings was challenging when she was placed at the bridge. By shifting her First Hit Speed to Deploy Time, she will be easier to distract at the bridge but also gain a buff in her defensive capabilities.

Void

Strike Interval: 1.3s → 1.0s (-23%)

Void is currently much weaker than other Spells, so we’re shortening the time between its strikes and reducing its overall duration to ensure it consistently hits its intended targets.
