In October 2024, Clash Royale introduced a new balance update that adjusted several key cards, aiming to improve overall game balance. Here’s a breakdown of the most significant changes:
Key Card Adjustments
Bomber:
Damage: 230 → 225 (-2%)
This tweak slightly reverses Bomber’s previous buff to prevent it from taking out Spirits in one shot while maintaining its interaction with Barbarians.
Goblin Demolisher:
Duration after 50% HP: 10 sec → 7 sec (-30%)
The time for Goblin Demolisher’s explosives to detonate after reaching 50% HP has been shortened, making it easier to counter when it’s close to death.
Void:
Single-target damage: 472 → 320 (-32%)
Void was too effective in elixir trades against high-cost troops and buildings, so its damage was significantly reduced.
Evolved Mortar:
First hit speed: 0 sec → 1 sec
A delay was added to its first shot to balance its performance against the non-evolved version.
Evolved PEKKA:
Death healing: 471 → 376 (-20%)
This nerf reduces Evolved PEKKA’s ability to survive strong defenses by lowering its death healing in critical moments.
Tesla:
Hit speed: 1200 → 1100 (-8%)
The shockwave Tesla emitted when destroyed was removed, as it caused excessive control over the game.
Evolved Wizard:
Shield knockback: 4 → 3 tiles (-25%)
The extreme knockback from Evolved Wizard during high elixir moments led to unpredictable battles, so it was reduced for greater consistency.

Other Changes
- Cannoneer: Reduced damage and first hit speed to make it less versatile in quick defenses and against tanks.
- Skeleton Barrel: Increased death damage to make it more impactful when destroying Crown Towers.
- Evolved Goblin Cage: Increased damage per second when capturing enemies.
These changes, along with adjustments to other cards like Evolved Zap and Magic Archer, aim to balance control strategies and damage-per-second tactics, impacting both competitive and casual gameplay.
