Royal Chef in Clash Royale: Ability

The Royal Chef’s unique ability allows him to throw Pancakes at allied troops, leveling them up and enhancing their damage and hitpoints by 10%. This boost is useful for both offensive pushes and defensive holds. However, the ability doesn’t affect range or movement speed, maintaining balance in gameplay.

The Pancake Counter next to the King Tower indicates when the next Pancake is ready to be served. The counter functions even when no troops are on the battlefield, ensuring instant buffs once a troop is deployed. Pancakes cook at varying speeds depending on the status of the Royal Chef in Clash Royale:

Chef status	Cooking speed	Time
Both idle	100%	18 seconds
1 idle 1 destroyed	100%	18 seconds
1 idle 1 attacking	80%	22.5 seconds
1 destroyed 1 attacking	80%	22.5 seconds
Both attacking	60%	30 seconds
Both destroyed	0%	-

The above table indicates that the speed of producing Pacake is highest when both Royal Chefs are idle and are not attacking any nearby troops. Note that these chefs will stop preparing Pancakes and attack the nearby opponent's troops if they are within range.

The Royal Chef starts cooking Pancakes 7 seconds into the battle, with the first buff available 25 seconds from the start of the match. Pancakes are prioritized for troops with higher HP, ensuring maximum effectiveness during battles. However, troops below 20% HP will not receive the buff, preventing wasted upgrades in Clash Royale.
