Below are the Clash Royale balance changes which took place on 24 August 2023. As stated above, there are only two changes that players need to be aware of for the game, but they could change the state of play for players considerably if the units are used correctly.
The Clash Royale Balance changes are the following:
- Knight Evolution: Shield (Damage Reduction): 80% > 60% (-25%)
- Barbarian Evolution: Hit Speed Boost: 150% > 135% (-10%)

There have also been some fantastic buffs in the month of August for other cards. This includes Goblin Giant, Battle Ram and Tesla.
- Goblin Giant: Hit Points increase by 6.0%
- Battle Ram: Charge Distance -14.3%, Hit Points increase by 6.0%
- Tesla: Hit Time 8.3% shorter, Hit Speed 9% faster, DPS +9%
These are some pretty significant changes, especially for those who are trying to knock Bomb Tower off of the top, as well as get Battle Ram as a winning condition in their decks.
Battle Ram is now stronger than ever, as having the additional charge distance wasn’t enough, so now they have extra health for opponents to contend with, too.

There have also been some nerfs to some of the hard-hitting cards in Clash Royale, such as Royal Giant and Mighty Miner.
The Royal Giant evolution has been nerfed, so that they have fewer hit points.
- Royal Giant: Hit Points decreased by 8.3%
- Mighty Miner: Damage Duration 1 +12.5%, Damage Duration 2+12.5%, Total Damage Duration +12.5%
The Mighty Miner’s Damage Duration has been nerfed, so it now takes longer for their variable damage to charge up to max level, and it will take longer for them to get to their highest impact against opponents.
That’s everything you need to know about the latest Clash Royale balance changes, including some of the most recent Clash Royale buffs and nerfs.
