Quick answer: Stone Cold (Season 84) began Monday, June 1, 2026 and runs through the end of the month. It adds one new Hero — Tomb Queen, a building-targeting win condition that summons Skeletons — and a new Evolved Princess that fires slowing ice arrows (first attack, then every 3rd, 2 cycles). The headline reward path is the Undead Bazaar: spend Tomb Tokens through its reward tiers and the Tomb Queen Hero is free at the final stall. Six dated events run across the season, starting with Triple Elixir (June 2–6) and Princess Gambit (June 10–20).
Stone Cold (Season 84) launched Monday, June 1, 2026 with 1 new Hero (Tomb Queen), 1 new Evolution (Princess), and 6 dated events — two game-mode challenges, one Competitive League, one Global Tournament, the Undead Bazaar, and two Clan Voyages. The single most valuable thing to know: the Tomb Queen Hero is free as the final reward of the Undead Bazaar, so you do not need to spend Hero coins to unlock her. This guide is the calendar and reward map for the whole season, with links to the strategy deep-dives for each new card and mode.
What Is the Stone Cold Season (Season 84) in Clash Royale?
Stone Cold is Season 84, the June 2026 season, themed around an undead tundra. It bundles the June 1 balance changes, a new Hero and Evolution, and a month of events. If you want the card-by-card stat breakdown that shipped alongside the season, read the Season 84 June balance changes guide — that patch nerfed Crown Tower (chip) damage on 12 spells, so the season's deck math changed on day one.
This page focuses on the season content and events — what's new, when each event runs, and which rewards are worth chasing.
What Is the Full Stone Cold Events Calendar?
Impact: significant. Six events run across Season 84. Dates are from Supercell's official announcement; events overlap, so plan which to prioritize.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Princess Evolution Draft | June 1–8 | Game mode | Classic Draft with the new Evolved Princess in play | Evolution progress |
| Triple Elixir | June 2–6 | Global Tournament | 3× elixir speedrun; 12 wins unlocks the leaderboard climb | Exclusive badge + top-10,000 Finisher Badge |

| Restless Undead | June 22–29 | Game mode | Tombstones spawn around the Arena; royals like Skeleton King and Royal Ghost rise when destroyed | Event rewards |
| Undead Bazaar | Season-long | Reward track | Spend Tomb Tokens through tiered stalls | Free Tomb Queen Hero at the final stall |
| Clan Voyage (×2) | Season-long | Clan event | Two more Clan Voyages across the royal seas | Voyage rewards (requires a Clan) |
How Do I Get the Tomb Queen Hero for Free?
Impact: massive. Tomb Queen is available from the start of the season for Hero coins or for free as the ultimate reward of the Undead Bazaar — so most players should take the free path.
The Undead Bazaar runs on Tomb Tokens, a limited-time currency earned through events, the Shop, and giveaways. The Bazaar is tiered: spend enough Tokens to unlock the next stall, and better rewards appear the deeper you go. At the final stall, Tomb Queen herself trades your remaining bones (Tomb Tokens) for the Hero. Practically, that means:
- Bank every Tomb Token — don't spend them on low-tier filler if your goal is the Hero.
- Play the events (Triple Elixir, Princess Gambit, Restless Undead) — they're the main Token faucets.
- Push to the final tier before the season ends; the Hero is gated behind total Token spend across the tiers.
Crown Chase events this season also drop Hero Tombstone, Tomb Tokens, an Evolution Box, and chilling cosmetics, so the Crown Chases are a second Token source on top of the Bazaar itself.
What Does the New Tomb Queen Hero Do?
Tomb Queen has "awoken from her slumber" beneath the Tombstone. She is a win condition that targets only buildings and towers and summons Skeletons along the way as she advances. Her ability is Regal Revival, which unleashes her into the Arena when summoned.
Because she ignores troops and walks toward your tower while spawning a Skeleton stream, she pressures like a slow, building-targeting win condition rather than a defensive Hero — punishing decks that can't quickly redirect or swarm her down. For the full kit, counters, and deck-building notes, read the Hero Tombstone / Tomb Queen guide, and if you're on the receiving end, how to counter Hero Tombstone.
What Does the New Evolved Princess Do?
Impact: significant. The Evolved Princess joins "the slowdown business": she fires ice arrows on her first attack after entering the Arena, and every third attack after that, slowing whatever they hit. Her Evolution runs on 2 cycles.
A long-range, slowing splash troop changes how you stack defenses — chip-and-slow value on pushes, and tougher counterpush math for the attacker. The Princess Evolution Draft (June 1–8) is the fastest way to test her before committing Evolution Shards. For the deck-fit and matchup detail, see the Evolved Princess guide.
Which Stone Cold Events Are Worth Your Time?
Highest priority: Princess Gambit (June 10–20)
Princess Gambit is the season's Competitive League — sudden-death battles with a rotating deck of 40 cards, Evolutions and Heroes always active, leveled to your personal Collection. You earn a League Badge at 15 wins and a Leaderboard Finisher Badge in the top 10,000. It's the most badge-dense event of the season. Full ruleset and strategy: Princess Gambit guide.
Best for fast rewards: Triple Elixir (June 2–6)
A Global Tournament at 3× elixir — games are short and frantic. Hit 12 wins to unlock the leaderboard climb and an exclusive badge (plus the top-10,000 Finisher Badge). Bring a deck that abuses cheap, fast cycles since elixir is never the bottleneck.
Don't sleep on: Restless Undead (June 22–29)
Tombstones spawn around the Arena and royals (Skeleton King, Royal Ghost) rise when they're destroyed — a chaotic mode that rewards splash and area control. It lands late in the season, so it's a final Tomb Token push before the Undead Bazaar closes.
What Should I Do First in the Stone Cold Season?
If you want the free Hero: start banking Tomb Tokens immediately and prioritize the events that pay them out — the Tomb Queen unlock is gated behind total Bazaar spend.
If you're climbing ladder: re-tune your deck for the June 1 balance changes before grinding — the spell chip nerfs changed which win conditions close out games. Run your list through the Deck Impact Brief to see what changed for your exact 8 cards.
If you're in a Clan: the two Clan Voyages are season-long — coordinate early so your Clan doesn't leave rewards on the table. Not in a Clan yet? Join one before the first Voyage departs.
If you want to test the new cards: the Princess Evolution Draft (June 1–8) lets you play Evolved Princess without owning the Shards, and Princess Gambit puts Evolutions and Heroes in every battle.
