Clash Royale, the game we all know and at some point played. No matter what trophy count we are at, 9k is or was always the goal. And with this mobile game now becoming a global phenomenon, this feat has become all the more enticing. According to Business of Apps, there are 35 million current players when taking into consideration the both total money invested into the game and the overall popularity from 2016 to 2024. If 3% of those players are at 9000 trophies, that represents just over 1 million of the Clash Royale community. With the new extension of Trophy Road though, which includes Legendary Arena as Arena 24 (9500 trophies) and the Seasonal Challenges Arena as Arena 25 (10000 trophies), the number of players who will now hit the max trophies on Trophy Road will plummet even more, making this feat all the more impressive. Even if half of players previously in Arena 23 were able to hit 10k, that would still be but 1.5% of the entire player base. Now compare this percentage to that of players who hit ultimate champion each month, which is generally accepted as 2%. Assuming this figure accounts for players who have repeatedly hit ultimate champion, then 700,000 current players have achieved this feat, with each being awarded an emote for bragging rights. Now, hold on a second. None of us 9k players are getting that same type of showboating per se. Why can’t we, as representative of a similar portion of players as those who have hit ultimate champion, also get an emote that also proves our elite skillset. Not only would this new emote give us a deeper sense of satisfaction, but also it would remain a highlighted moment from Supercell taking interest in community opinion.
