The highlight of this update is the introduction of the evolved Electro Dragon. This unit boasts the ability to chain lightning for infinite times if there's a group of opponent troops close to each other. The lightning will deal 192 damage with each strike at upgrade level 11. However, the fact that it can't zap Crown Towers directly prevents the troop from being overpowered.
The Electro Dragon Evolution in Clash Royale is perfect for countering high-health units and turning the battlefield into a storm of destruction. Players can unlock this evolution with the start of the new season.
Goblinstein: A new Champion rarity card in the Clash Royale October 2024 update

Goblinstein will debut as the seventh Champion rarity card in the game. When players use this troop in battle, two characters are deployed: a monstrous melee unit that targets buildings and a doctor who stuns enemies with a low-damage ranged attack.
The special ability of this card, called Lightning Link, will unleash massive damage by connecting the Monster and Doctor through electricity.
Players in Arena 11 and above can unlock Goblinstein for free starting October 7, 2024, alongside its emote.
Farewell to the Gold Pass in the Clash Royale October 2024 update
One of the most notable adjustments in this update is the removal of the Gold Pass to change the Pass Royale system. Moving forward, players will have two options: Free Pass and Diamond Pass. The latter offers premium rewards like Tower Skins, Emotes, and high-tier chests, while the free track has been improved to provide more consistent rewards at every milestone.
Both free-to-play and premium players can now earn Cosmetics, including animated Banners from the Free Pass and exclusive Tower Skin Emote Cosmetics from the Diamond Pass. Additionally, free-to-play users will receive an Evolution Wild Shard, making it easier to evolve cards without spending money.
Lucky Drops and free rewards

Lucky Drops have been reworked to offer better rewards and more opportunities for players to earn them. Drops now range from 1-star to 5-star rewards and will appear more frequently across Pass Royale and special giveaways.
Furthermore, players at King Level 7 and above will receive 30 free Lucky Drops when the Clash Royale October 2024 update goes live.
Goblin Trophy Road finale

The Goblin Trophy Road is coming to an end in the Clash Royale October 2024 update. Players will receive the rewards they've unlocked automatically when the countdown provided on the Mode Switcher ends.
Furthermore, they will receive a special Badge based on the highest Arena that they have unlocked.
Additional features and improvements in the Clash Royale October 2024 update

The October update also introduces several quality-of-life improvements:
- A New Deck Switcher on the homepage for faster deck management.
- A Second Evolution Slot for more flexibility in battles.
- Boost potion duration increased from 1 hour to 3 hours.
- A reporting function for Clan Names and Descriptions to improve community moderation.
