Who's ready for some balance changes? For the incoming Season 68 that's slated to be around in Clash Royale during February 2025, Supercell is planning a decent chunk of balance changes that, as you might have already guessed, will target overpowered cards in the meta and cards that feel like they could use a little bump to their power level.

The February balance changes have been confirmed by Supercell. These balance changes went live on February 3, 2025.
