Work-in-progress Balance Changes for September 2025 (Season 75) - Clash Royale News Blog - RoyaleAPI

Pretty interesting set of balance changes, here are my thoughts: (pretty long, read at your own risk)

Minions- honestly just nerf their range to 2 tiles; this is what it used to be before the range simplification in 2019… but this change isn’t bad in it of itself

Spirit Empress- way too harsh. This card is very strong but this nerf is too much. I would instead revert its hit speed back to 1.5 seconds and maybe increase its first hit attack time

Evo furnace- pretty good nerf, but we will have to wait and see if the evo is balanced after this… I’m afraid not though

Cannoneer- istg SC just wants to remove tower troops at this point. Every time their use rate hits 20% they just nerf them. If they just buff his damage by 5% to one shot WB again (320-334) and still go through with the nerf then I’d be happy

Dark Prince- nice buff, no complaints. I really don’t have much else to say about it

Little Prince- he’s one of my favorite cards so I’m biased, but I wish that he would get a 3% damage buff (99-102) so he can 2 shot goblins and 3 shot archers and FC again… but with the other two buffs this might be too much. Overall great buffs though

Goblinstein- good buff but I don’t think this will be enough… maybe 6% could be the sweet spot (2304-2442) but we will have to see for this change as well

Goblin Curse- very interesting change, and I don’t mind removing the damage amplification as it is often used for that and not the goblins, but I would like to see it either get a bigger buff to compensate (like I said, it’s often only used for the dmg amplification) or give it the rework that Abdod proposed- make it so it can’t be used past the pocket (its limit would be where you can place troops once two towers are down) to minimize the toxicity of it on offense

Sorry for yapping so much- I just really like discussing game balance. I am wondering where the void rework is since Donald had teased a rework on Twitter, but I guess it’s not coming yet (please make it happen and also buff rune giant, evo GD, and evo wizard)

Alright I’m done!
