Consistency At The Top

When looking to improve the balance of gameplay, we also took a look at max level gameplay and found some clear areas for improvement. In the next update we’re going to bring a few changes that will make gameplay feel consistent from the all the way to the very top.

Currently, max level gameplay doesn’t accurately reflect how gameplay feels, so we’re addressing it with the following changes:

• Legendary level cap: 5 (from 6)
• Epic level cap: 8 (stays the same)
• Rare level cap: 11 (from 10)
• Common level cap: 13 (from 12)
• King level cap: 13 (from 12)

These changes will ensure a consistent when playing either at the top or in a Friendly Battle under . We consider to be the basis for competitive Clash Royale play, and in the future we’re going to support this more in-game.

In conjunction with the above we wanted bring a couple of other complementary changes:

Firstly, we’re going to reduce the amount of Epic it takes to upgrade from level 7 to level 8 – down to 200 , from 300 . You may be wondering what happens to players who already have level 8 epics or level 6 legendaries? Simple! When the update arrives, anyone with above the new caps will automatically receive Gem refunds for every card over the cap.

Secondly, Legendary will occasionally appear in the once you’ve reached the Legendary Arena! We know Legendary can be quite hard to obtain, and even harder to upgrade, so this change will help more players get their hands on them.

Bonus info: We’re also re-working the cost of in the to scale in a linear fashion (i.e. 20, 40, 60, 80) – and not exponentially as it currently does (i.e. 40, 56, 78, 109) – making them much more reasonably priced overall.

One final thing to note, and something we’d like to stress, is that we’ve always considered maxing out your to be a very long-term goal for most players – it’s your long-term progression in Clash Royale. We’re going to be emphasizing the importance of in the future and that’s where we see most players focusing their attention.
