But wait, there’s more! Lucky Drops are now Lucky Chests with a new reward system.

Let’s break it down…

Royal Ghost Evolution summons two Souldiers who do damage when they spawn and guard Royal Ghost’s spirit as he materializes.

Royal Ghost Evolution will be available in the Shop on October 17th, 9am UTC.

General Gerry commands Skeleton Army Evolution by making his Skeletons invisible and indestructible while he’s alive, but once he’s defeated, their loyalty follows him to the grave.

Were you lowkey missing chests? Us too! We’ve replaced Lucky Drops with Lucky Chests and switched a few things around!

There are three types of Lucky Chests, classified by what they could contain and their number of spins:

• Common Lucky Chests: Cards and Gold (3 spins)

• Magic Lucky Chests: Cards, Gold, Magic Items, and cosmetics—just like Lucky Drops! (4 spins)

• Seasonal Lucky Chests: Changes based on the season theme

  • Haunted Lucky Chest (October): Seasonal selection of Cards, Skeleton Army & Royal Ghost Evolution Shards, and cosmetics (4 spins)

  • Phantom Lucky Chest (October): Seasonal selection of Cards, Royal Ghost Evolution Shards, and cosmetics (4 spins)

Seasonal Lucky Chests operate on a guaranteed rewards system, meaning you’ll earn rewards based on how many chests you open each season.

Remember way back when you could only have one Champion in the Arena at a time? Well, no more! With the 3-card cycle, Champions were too difficult to balance for competitive players while the average player rarely took advantage of it. To shift the balance away from fast cycling and more towards the Champions themselves, you are no longer limited to one Champion in the Arena at a time.

Here’s how the new system works:

• Champion Cards will now cycle the same as any other Card

• Only the most-recently placed Champion possesses an ability

  • A crown icon will appear above the Champion that has the ability

  • Ability cooldowns will reset as each new Champion is placed

  • Skeleton King’s soul bar will reset when placing a duplicate

• Multiple Champions are not enough? Mirror now works on them, too!

You can still only have one Champion per deck, but go crazy with your Chosen One!

DAILY REWARDS

• Everyone’s daily rewards will now be the same: 4 Magic Lucky Chests!

GAME MODE SWITCHER

• You’ll now see a “New Event!” label on your game mode Switcher when a new event starts. Tap on the new event to remove the label.

• Training Camp and tournaments can now be found via the Switcher.

BUG FIXES

• Prince and other charging troops will no longer instantly attack after their charge is interrupted

• Monk no longer takes increased damage from Arrows when his Pensive Protection ability is active

• Evo Goblin Cage can no longer grab Mega Knight while he’s jumping

• Vines and Lightning now consider shields when targeting the highest HP troops

• Improved pathfinding for Spirit Empress when flying

• Improved pathfinding for troops around destroyed buildings

• You can once again earn badges from Classic and Grand Challenges

• Friends are visible again on Trophy Road

…plus other minor improvements to help make your experience as smooth as possible.

Thats all for now!

New Evolutions, Lucky Chests, and a new Champion cycle! Now it’s up to you to try it out. We regularly check Reddit and Discord for feedback, so make sure to let us know what you think and what you’d like to see next!
