Clash Royale is gearing up for the latest season, Season 73, that is set to begin in July. As usual, a new set of balance changes will be introduced alongside it.

You already know how this one works. A series of buffs, nerfs, reworks, and adjustments are implemented each season to balance out the meta. This ensures that the playing field is fair for every player, every card, and every deck.

We have the complete list of balance changes coming to Clash Royale thanks to RoyaleAPI. So, without further ado, let's jump into it.

All Balance Changes Coming to Clash Royale in July

A mix of buffs, nerfs, and reworks is slated to arrive. Card Evolutions for the Goblin Barrel and Witch are getting a slight improvement, while cards like the Ice Golem are getting a small downgrade.

It's believed a new Champion, known as the Spirit Empress, will be added to Clash Royale in the coming season. So, that might be the reason why the Boss Bandit and Monk are receiving a bit of a rework.
