Here are the patch notes for Clash Royale’s 2021 summer update

Summer is right around the corner and so is a huge update to Clash Royale that’s bringing a new card, more ways to earn gold, Clan Wars II changes, and much more.

The release date for the update hasn’t been revealed yet. It will likely be released around the end of season 23, which will happen on June 7. But here’s everything that’s coming in Clash Royale’s 2021 summer update.

Trophy road extension

• Right now, the trophy road ends at 7,000 trophies. This will no longer be the case since Supercell has extended it to 8,000 trophies.
• With this, the leagues have also been increased to 5,000 trophies.

New arenas

With the increase in the trophy road, two new arenas will be joining the game: Rascals Hideout and Serenity Peak.

Leagues

• The league will begin at 5,000 trophies. The more you climb, the fewer trophies you’ll get reset by every season. The changes are as follows:

No.	League	Percent reset before	Percent reset after
1.	Challenger One	50	50
2.	Challenger Two	50	50
3.	Challenger Three	50	50
4.	Master One	50	40
5.	Master Two	50	40
6.	Master Three	50	40
7.	Champion	50	30
8.	Grand Champion	50	30
9.	Royal Champion	50	30
10.	Ultimate Champion	50	30

• When season 24 begins, players who reset below 5,000 trophies won’t be in the leagues anymore.

Trophy loss changes

• From Master One onward, the number of trophies a player gains from victory will be the same they get from a loss. The exact amount, however, will continue to depend on the trophy count of your opponent.
• As a result, leagues will now become a bit more challenging to climb. This will be compensated with a more even matchmaking.

More gold

Supercell is adding ways for players to earn more gold.

Gold Crates

• Players above King Level 11 will now receive Gold Crates in their chest cycles. There will be three variants and they’ll unlock at three, eight, and 12 hours respectively. The longer the unlock time, the more gold will be in the crate.
• The chances of getting a Gold Crate increase with King Level.

More bonus gold and shorter Pass Royale

• The number of crowns required to complete the Pass Royale has been reduced. Some tiers will be unlockable after just five crowns.
• Additionally, the bonus gold that players earn after completing the Pass Royale has been significantly increased, from 10,000 to 25,000 gold.

Clan Wars II changes

Several changes are being made to Clan Wars II as well. The first of these is that fame will now be called Medals.

Training and battle days

• Clan Wars have been split into the training and battle days. On training days (Mondays to Wednesdays), players can earn gold by playing in the River Battles.
• On battle days (Thursdays to Sundays), playing will be awarded medals, which will help your boat advance toward victory.

Other changes

• Clan Wars are now moving toward a 24-hour format. At the end of each day, boats will advance based on the medals they earned that day.
• At the end of each battle day, war chests will be rewarded to every clan based on their position on the river.
• The boat defenses will also determine how far your clan advances on the river from the summer update. Based on the defenses that survive each battle day, the boat will move even more forward.

New card: Goblin Drill

• The card will send a drill that erupts in the assigned location along with several goblins.
• It costs four elixir to use in battle and comes in the epic rarity.

Quality-of-life improvements

• Players will be able to go backward as well as forward in battle replays now.
• More permanent game modes have been added to friendly battles.
• Players will now be able to select tower skins and randomize them. Thus, each match will have a different tower skin.
• Five more deck slots have been added. Thus, players will now have 10 deck slots.
