Key Takeaways
- Evo Royal Hogs took the biggest hit with a massive -27% landing damage nerf — expect a significant drop in usage.
- Hero Ice Golem freeze cut from 2s to 1.5s makes defensive freezes far less punishing.
- Royal Giant nerfed for the 3rd time in 6 seasons — Supercell clearly struggling to balance this card.
- Bats finally get some love with faster attack speed, potentially reviving bat-heavy beatdown decks.

Most Neglected Cards
Cards the balance team keeps ignoring despite low win rates and community outcry.
Void
38% win rateLast changed: Season 68
Niche mechanic with no synergy. Community calls it dead on arrival.
Barbarian Hut
34% win rateLast changed: Season 64
Lowest use rate in the game. Too expensive, too slow, outclassed by every spawner.
Rune Giant
41% win rateLast changed: Season 70
Overshadowed by Royal Giant and Golem. r/ClashRoyale demands a rework.
Night Witch
36% win rateLast changed: Season 66
Nerfed into the ground in 2023. Bats spawn too slow to matter.
