Work-in-progress Balance Changes for June 2025 (Season 72) - Clash Royale News Blog - RoyaleAPI

Here’s me yapping about the balance changes again…

Boss Bandit health nerf: I’m surprised it didn’t get nerfed in the last update, I feel like this is a step in the right direction. We’ve never really had a “good” 6 elixir card, so I think a lot of the hate it gets is simply from people who don’t understand the value required to have a card like this exist. This card will likely still remain strong after the change.

Lightning Tower damage nerf: uhh this is a weird card to balance. Again, 6 elixir is quite the investment, and with a lot of strong cards creeping up recently that happen to be weak to Lightning, it’s popularity is no surprise. This also feels like a good change imo.

Evo Ice Spirit damage: this evolution in particular is also kinda tricky. It kinda fell off after going from 3 to 2 attacks, but has slowly been making its way back in a lot of decks, and with the amount of utility this card (base and evo) bring to the table, this change seems justified, however it might be a bit much. This is still a 1 elixir card, so time will tell how this one settles in.

Evo Witch heal nerf: needs a bigger nerf, this card is too overwhelming.

Cannon Cart health buff: CC is surprisingly still good even with the rework, being a lot more niche than before. Health buff seems like a nice step.

Goblin Demolisher buff: doesn’t feel right. The change in question isn’t going to magically make this card good, and in some cases you want an earlier explosion. This one is really hard to get right.

Little Prince: man, people have been asking for this one for a while now. Pretty strong on paper, but in practice it’ll still struggle to keep up. A small health nerf is a step in the right direction, but this card is still gonna be pretty bad as it gets hard-carried by its ability (even then, the combo can still be a big flop).

Rune Giant: generous health buff, but it might not be enough. I think it could use a bit more, but for 4 elixir it’s still a nice support card.

Evo Wiz buff: yeah no this card, both base and evo, sucks. If anything, the shield ability should be part of the base form because it’s so bad otherwise. Outclassed in higher formats and a weak card overall.
