We'll list out all the balance changes that will be landing in Clash Royale in April 2026.
The new set of balance changes for Season 82 will be headed to Clash Royale on April 6, 2026.
This collection of buffs, nerfs, and reworks is meant to balance out the meta across all game modes and ensure that no cards are either overpowered or underpowered. Overall, these balance changes are meant to make sure that the playing field is fair and level for all cards and decks.
The provisional set of balance changes is currently available. However, keep in mind that this is a work-in-progress list, meaning that the adjustments are subject to change and may be different from the final version.

All of April's Balance Changes in Clash Royale, Listed
The big theme of April's balance changes in Clash Royale is nerfs. A whole batch of cards, particularly Heroes and Card Evolutions, will be receiving a decrease to their stats and abilities. This includes heavy-hitters in the current meta, such as the Hero Magic Archer, Hero Barbarian, and Royal Ghost Evolution.
Meanwhile, only a tiny fraction of the list will be dedicated to buffs and reworks. Specifically, Spear Goblins will be buffed, while Skeleton Dragons will be reworked.
A slight bug fix will also be applied to the Rune Giant, in which bonus damage will not be applied to the Hero Magic Archer's ability.
