Clash Royale Clash Royale April 2025 balance changes: Everything you need to know

Nerfs

Five cards have been nerfed this season:

1) Tornado

• Damage: 84x2 → 84 (-50%)

2) Rage

• Damage:192 → 148 (-23%)

The Rage and Tornado spells are designed to provide utility through their mechanics. For instance, the Tornado can detour enemy troops, while the Rage speeds up the friendly army.

However, their high damage made them good options for countering small troops, which is not their desired role. Thus, Supercell has decided to nerf them.

3) Goblinstein

• Monster Hitpoints: 2393 → 2304 (-4%)

Goblinstein's Monster's hitpoints are reduced by 4%.

4) Dagger Duchess

• Damage: 112 → 107 (-5%)

Per the developer, the Dager Duchess provides high defensive value in the early game, causing decks to move into offensive archetypes. Thus, this tower troop is slightly nerfed to maintain key interactions and encourage players to use more balanced decks.

5) Goblin Gang

• Goblins First Hit Speed: 0.4 → 0.6 sec (+50%)

The First Hit Speed of the Goblins is reduced to make the overall gang weaker.
