Details of the new Clash Royale summer update for 2025.
Aint no way they nerfed F2P again.
Ranked now requires you to get high in trophies first, which is impossible without level 15 cards creating an endless loop where the solution is paying for real money.
Also ranked only gives 25k rather than 50k (50% nerf), making level 15 cards even harder to get than before. Gold is nerfed too, going from 75k to 25k in ranked (66% nerf)
masteries are nerfed, making gems harder to get
chests give more cards and less wildcards, which makes it harder to upgrade a specific deck which hurts F2P players once again.
Global tornaments are removed “temporarly”, which removes the legendary king’s chest (nerfing progression further and making gems useless).
Chests are overall weaker for F2P players, more gold and normal cards rather than wildcards (making it harder to upgrade a specific deck). Aswell as legendaries and champions being harder to get in chests, making those rarities harder to max.
Forgot to mention they removed the books from classic challenges
This update is so overrated and trash. Yeah the new card and mode looks cool, but they didn’t talk about all the bad shit they changed in the video…
You usually get 50K EWC per POL season but now, it’s MUCH harder to get them now, why? They just scattered them across events, and trophy road. Why not just give more EWC Greedycell?
The new evolution is garbage, and boring. Why are they releasing garbage and boring evolutions now? No uniqueness
They removed the book from classic challenges
They nerfed mastery gems again
Chests no longer gives wild cards, just why? How else are we supposed to get wild cards now excluding pass royale?
You no longer get cards from winning games, only gold.
You now have to slave to get champion each season to be able to play ranked next season, If you miss a single month, you have to reach a whole 15,000 trophies and you can never play ranked until you reach max trophies. So good luck if you don’t have a maxed out deck.
They didn’t talk about some of these things in the video…
I think the update is alright, but people aren’t seeing the huge downsides they quietly added.
Supercell can never release an update without downsides.
The whole update looks so interesting but you know they always nerf the progression that is what happens
One of the things that I didn’t see on this post that was published on Clash Royale note, is that if you reach Master 1 only this season you are going to get a Ranked Ticket for July, of this way we don’t need grind until 15k the very next seasons, this makes the thing easier for a lot of players
Update seems alright to me. Looks pretty interesting overall, but as other people said it again hinders F2P players. Many will quit if SC keeps nerfing playability for lower arenas. EWC’s are insanely hard to obtain nowadays. The mastery gem nerf is pointless because most people have already farmed them and again it’s only going to annoy new players.
They’re also removing books from challenges. And i heard the badges might get removed aswell. It’s discouraging.
I came back to the game recently but seeing how things work here I might quit again.
