Clash Royale update: The latest

Clash Royale Season 5 update

Release date: November 4, 2019.

Season 5 is here, and it’s the Goblins’ turn to shine! The Great Goblin Feast has taken over the Legendary arena, giving it a complete festive makeover for the duration of Season 5. The latest Royale Pass also serves up new Goblin goodies, including a Goblin Hut-like tower skin and a new Dart Goblin emote.

The new season also brings with it a host of balance changes, mostly to nerf overperforming cards like the Witch. The most recent new troop card Elixir Golem is now available in chests, although it and its gooey offspring have had their health reduced by 10%. Executioner is still being tweaked to find a happy place in the meta, and the only (minor) buff this time around is to the Barbarian Barrel, for better or worse.

Check out the full list of changes on the official blog post!

Clash Royale: New cards

One of the secrets to Clash Royale’s success is the constant updates, changes, and new cards. A single new card can open up tons of great deck possibilities, and add some longevity to the title released way back in 2016. The most recently added cards and their subsequent buffs/nerfs from each Clash Royale update are listed below.

Clash Royale update history

Clash Royale Season 4 update

Season 4 is here, and it’s going to be a spooky one. The latest Royale Pass features a number of Halloween-themed unlockables plus a few unique emotes. The Royal Arena has been reskinned to match the theme, and several new game modes are on the way.

Perhaps more significantly, a new card has been added to Clash Royale. Elixir Golem is a three-elixir troop card that explodes into two smaller Elixir Golemites, similar to the Golem. When the Elixir Golemites are defeated, they split again into two Elixir Blobs, each of which give your opponent one elixir when defeated. Use with caution!

Clash Royale September update overview

Release date: September 30

The Clash Royale September update landed at a bit of a strange time, but it brought with it tons of new ways to play Clash Royale. The 2v2 button has been replaced with the Party button, which still has 2v2 mode plus a host of other fun game modes. Even better, you won’t lose trophies when playing any party modes, but you’ll still gain crowns, victory gold, and complete quest objectives.

There aren’t any balance changes with the September update, but stayed tuned until next week when Season 4 launches. It’s slated to bring a new card, new arena, and a host of other Halloween themed goodies.

Check out the full patch notes over at the official Clash Royale website.

Clash Royale Season 3

Release date: September 2, 2019.

Season 3 is here in the latest Clash Royale update, and with it comes the return of the Legendary Arena for players with 4,000 trophies and above. There will be a new tower skin released, called The Fortress, which has floating rocks and a waterfall. It can be unlocked via the pass royale, along with an exclusive Princess emote.

As usual, the Season 3 update will also have a number of balance changes, including nerfs to the Lumberjack, Pekka, and Barbarian Barrel. The Fisherman received a small buff to his HP and anchor range, which could boost use rates of the newest Clash Royale card.

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
