Season 80 is just around the corner, and that means a new update is on its way to Clash Royale. This usually signals the arrival of new cards, limited-time events, and the refreshing of the seasonal Pass Royale.

One of the more highly-anticipated additions is the two new Heroes who will be making their way to the current roster. Another aspect that many in the community are looking forward to in the coming season is the balance changes.

These are implemented every season as a means to adjust the meta and ensure a fair playing field for everyone. The result is often the downgrading of overpowered cards and the upgrading of underperforming cards.

The final balance changes are currently available, and they were introduced to Clash Royale at the start of Season 80 on February 2, 2026.

February's balance changes are a small batch, with the focus clearly on nerfs. Nerfs also targeted top-performing cards, such as Hero Mini P.E.K.K.A, Witch Evolution, and Graveyard.

Meanwhile, the buffs are slated to improve the stats of the Hero Wizard and P.E.K.K.A Evolution. A single rework was implemented for the Hero Musketeer to adjust its in-battle mechanics.
