Clash Royale Updates as of October 6, 2026: The Ice Wizard hero has been nerfed

Nerfs

• Ice Wizard Hero: Freeze damage reduced from 89 to 46. The hero can no longer kill skeletons or bats.
• Cannon Evolution: Barrage damage reduced from 281 to 261. The volley still destroys the Dart Goblin, but the card will be slightly less effective against massive assaults.
• Barbarian Barrel: Damage reduced from 232 to 215. The card will no longer completely stop wall-breakers.
• Elixir Collector: Health increased from 1 minute 33 seconds to 1 minute 50 seconds, and production speed increased from 13 to 15 seconds. The Elixir Collector will take longer to pay for itself.
• Giant Minion: Attack speed increased from 1.5 to 1.7 seconds. This change should make it less effective as a flying warrior.
• Royal Ghost: Health reduced from 1,210 to 1,152. With its health reduced, it will be slightly easier to banish.
• Skeletons: Spawn density has been increased. This will make them more vulnerable to area-of-effect damage.

Buffs

• Goblin Barrel: First attack speed reduced from 0.4 to 0.3 seconds.
• Goblin Drill: Damage to Royal Towers upon spawn has been increased from 0 to 20.
• Hellhound: Damage increased from 53 to 71, and attack speed increased from 1.3 to 1.5 seconds.
• Ram Rider: Damage increased from 250 to 271.
• Battering Rams: Damage increased from 281 to 302.
• Crossbow: Damage increased from 58 to 61. These changes should help these cards compete with the best tower destroyers in the game.
• Monk: Ability cast time reduced from 0.93 to 0.7 seconds. “Mindfulness” will trigger faster.
• Three Musketeers: Health increased from 883 to 906. This change will improve the card’s durability.

Reworks and Adjustments

• Golden Knight: Damage increased from 161 to 168, and dash range reduced from 5.5 to 5 tiles. It now targets the outer edge of the Warrior’s collision radius rather than its center. The reduction in range compensates for the increase in the ability’s activation radius.

Bug Fixes

• Evolved Elite Barbarians: Spear attack range increased from 4.5 to 6 tiles. Evolved Elite Barbarians will no longer ignore Warriors outside their base line of sight when throwing spears.
• Royal Ghost: Damage increased from 261 to 263. At Level 16, this will allow it to fight the Thunderer on equal terms.
