New updates have been released for Clash Royale in 2019, which include some balance update patch notes, as well as new cards.
You might be wondering why people are excited to get new updates. Well, the reason is that they can get new features, changes, and some new cards. So what are these new cards, by the way?
A single new card is capable of opening up a bunch of great deck possibilities. Moreover, it can add more longevity to the title. Here are some of the newly-added cards since 2018 that you might want to take a look back.
- Ram Rider
- Electro Dragon
- Goblin Giant
- Royal Recruits
- Royal Hogs
- Giant Snowball
- Rascals
However, these are just released in 2018, so you might have already seen these, right? The monthly balance update for the first month of the year has been released.
Goblin Bruiser
A new card called Goblin Bruiser has been leaked back in December 2018. In fact, it was leaked via video, which points to a goblin card to come this year. Basically, it is a common card, which is the opposite side of the spectrum as the Ram Rider.
January Balance Update
There is a host of changes that can provide new opportunities or the popular cards of Clash Royale. For instance, it has reduced the Heal cost to just 1 elixir, which makes it a strong choice in many cycle decks.
Among the changes is the Magic Archer, which receives a rollback to its first attack nerf. However, the Barbarian Barrel is going in the opposite direction, which has rolled back its deploy time buff to half.
On the other hand, the big nerfs to pursue with the usual stuff are the Battle Ram and the Barbarian Hut. These should be among the strong choices in this meta.
Here are the detailed balance update patch notes for the month.
