Clash Royale update: The latest
Clash Royale Goblin Cage update
Release date: May 16, 2019.
Clash Royale is finally getting a new building card, and it’s a new concept for the three-year-old game. Goblin Cage is a 4-elixir building that lasts just 15 seconds, and upon death spawns yet another new troop: Goblin Brawler.
Goblin Brawler is a medium-hitpoint troop with enough damage and speed to take down attackers. Goblin Cage can be found in-game, but won’t be available until June 3. Expect another event in the coming weeks with the chance to unlock this new card early!
Clash Royale: New cards
One of the secrets to Clash Royale’s success is the constant updates, changes, and new cards. A single new card can open up tons of great deck possibilities, and add some longevity to the title released way back in 2016. The most recently added cards and their subsequent buffs/nerfs from each Clash Royale update are listed below.
Goblin Cage
When the Goblin Cage is destroyed, a Goblin Brawler is unleashed into the Arena! Goblin Brawler never skips leg day.
Release date: June 3, 2019.
- 4-elixir rare available in Spooky Town or higher.
- Building has low hitpoints and lasts just 15 seconds.
- When destroyed, spawns Goblin Brawler.
- Goblin Brawler is very fast and deals high damage, but with middling hitpoints.
Earthquake
Deals Damage per second to Troops and Crown Towers. Deals huge Building Damage! Does not affect flying units (it is an EARTHquake, after all).
Release date: April 15, 2019
- 4-elixir Rare available in Jungle Arena or higher.
- Works like Poison spell.
- Does not affect air troops.
- Deals 400% damage to buildings.
- Deals 100% damage to Princess and King Towers.
- Slows affected enemies.
Wall Breakers
A daring duo of dangerous dive bombers — nothing warms a Wall Breaker’s cold and undead heart like blowing up buildings.
Release date: February 26, 2019
- 3-elixir Epic available in Spooky Town or higher.
- Like their Clash of Clans counterpart, runs at buildings and explodes.
- Spawns two Wall Breakers, which can be split.
- Explosion does area damage, and will damage nearby troops.
- Very fast move speed but low hitpoints.
Wall Breakers buffs
- (4/4) Hit speed reduced to 1.2 seconds (down from 1.5).
- (5/6) Attack range increased to 500 (up from 250).
- (5/6) Attacks now damage nearby troops.
Ram Rider
Her bola snares enemy troops while Ram heads for the nearest building! Rams and Hogs don’t mingle at parties…
Release date: December 25, 2018
- 5-elixir Legendary available in Hog Mountain or higher.
- Like the Hog Rider, Ram Rider can jump over the river.
- Ram Rider charges like the Battle Ram, but does not explode upon impact.
- The Rider has an independent ranged attack that hits air and ground units.
- Rider’s bola attacks deal minimal damage but snare enemies for 2 seconds.
- Rider’s snaring bola can be chained to perma-snare large troops.
- Unlike Goblin Giant, Ram Rider does not spawn any units upon death.
Electro Dragon
Spits out bolts of electricity hitting up to three targets. Suffers from middle child syndrome to boot.
Release date: November 9, 2018
- 5-elixir epic available in Electro Valley and higher.
- Like the Electro Wizard, shoots lightning that stuns and chains to 3 targets.
- Unlike the Electro Wizard, hitting only one target does not increase damage.
- Not as tanky as the other dragon troops.
- Can chain to awaken the King Tower if not careful.
Electro Dragon nerfs
- (12/3) Electro Dragon hit points reduced 5%.
- (12/3) Electro Dragon first attack comes out slower.
Goblin Giant
This jolly green Goblin Giant stomps towards enemy buildings. He carries two Spear Goblins everywhere he goes. It’s a weird but functional arrangement.
Release date: September 5, 2018
- 6-elixir epic available in the Jungle Arena and higher.
- Like the classic giant, targets only buildings.
- Moves faster than giant (medium vs slow).
- Much lower hp than the other giants, but good at solo pushing.
- Two Spear Goblins strapped to his back target other cards independently.
- Upon death, the spear goblins jump out of his backpack and continue fighting.
Goblin Giant buffs
- (10/1) Hitpoints +6%.
- (1/7) Hitpoints +3%.
- (1/7) Spear Goblin range increased.
Clash Royale update history
Clash Royale May update overview
Release date: May 6, 2019
Fans of the hard-hitting Three Musketeers can rejoice, because Supercell is partially rolling back the nerf pushed out in February’s Clash Royale update. They now cost 9 Elixir once again, but retain the small damage buff. To counteract their strength, they take significantly longer to deploy.
The rest of the balance changes are buffs, so expect to see some changes in the meta. Most notably the Dark Prince and Wall Breakers received changes that should improve their use and win rates.

Clash Royale update: April balance update overview
Release date: April 1, 2019
The April Clash Royale update is here, and it’s no April Fools joke! Witch is getting a huge buff that puts here more in line with her melee peer Nightwitch. She will now spawn three skeletons upon defeat. Expect witch to make a lot more appearances in your matches.
A few other cards received minor nerfs, including the popular Flying Machine and Bandit troops. Goblin Hut was buffed as a response to the surging use of Lava Hound, although it’s not clear whether or not that will have the intended effect.

Clash Royale update: March update overview
Release date: March 4, 2019
After introducing a number of new features in the February update, the Clash Royale March update mostly consists of minor tweaks and balance changes. The only major change relates to one of Clash Royale’s oldest troops: Barbarians.
The base Barbarian card now spawns five troops with slightly reduced hitpoints. This should boost their use and win rates, while having the side effect of nerfing other cards that spawn Barbarians, like the Barbarian Barrel, Barb Hut, and Battle Ram.
With yet another card that spawns five troops in the game, Supercell has also revisited how these troops spawn. Several swarm cards now feature a delayed spawn time, changing the way they interact with splashing troops. The same change was made to Minion Horde last year.

- Barbarian card now spawns 5 Barbarians (up from 4).
- Hitpoint change affects all other Barbarian spawning cards:

Buffs
- Wall Breakers hit speed decreased to 1.2 (down from 1.5).
- Bomb Tower now explodes on death, dealing 2x are damage.
- X-bow hitpoints increased 4%.
