In this update, the Clan and Friends leaderboards will now rank players based on Ranked Rating, Trophies, and League (serving as a tiebreaker). Players who have not yet reached Ultimate Champion League will still be ranked by Trophies. Players with a ranked Rating will have that displayed instead.
The Top Royales leaderboards will also be updated. It will now display the Path of Legends leaderboard for players.
Clan Trophies will now be calculated based on the total Trophies of the members of a Clan. A "Clan Legend Score" is a new feature added to Clash Royale. It uses Clan members' ranked Ratings to determine the Clan's rating.
Local leaderboards have also returned to Clash Royale.
