Clash Royale New Cards 2018: Leaked Magic Archer Is Coming Soon

By Cammy Harbison Published 02/09/18 EST

Clash Royale’s official Twitter account just posted a photo that suggests a new card will be coming to the game soon. Find out everything we know about new cards coming to Clash Royale in 2018, here.

For a while, new Clash Royale update leaks made their way to fans long before their actual release, but now that the method used to obtain those leaks has been mostly shut down, new hints are fewer and further between. The last set of card leaks we saw surfaced in the Fall and featured gameplay with four new cards -- among which was the recently released Royal Ghost.

A suggestive new photo posted on the official Clash Royale Twitter account suggests the Royale Ghost may not be the only one of the leaked cards we’ll see released in this year. The post, which shows the lower half of a male character sitting cross-legged with an illuminating arrow floating above his lap, seems to indicate that the Magic Archer is likely on his way.

While we don’t know exactly what the Magic archer will do, from the leaked gameplay, it appears he will be a kind of enhanced archer, possibly like an archer wizard. If the leaks are accurate, his stats would be as follows:

Range - Similar to royal giant/dart goblin/flying machine
HP - Similar to Mega Minion
Damage - Similar to Baby Dragon
Movement Speed: Medium
Rarity: Common
Elixir Cost: 4

What Other New Cards Are Coming To Clash Royale in 2018?

While even the Magic Archer’s release isn’t fully confirmed, if the leaks are correct, we can expect to see at least two other new cards added to Clash Royale this year. They are the Barbarian Barrel and the Sneaky Archer.

Barbarian Barrel - The Barbarian Barrel looks like a card you’ll cast in the direction of an opponent -- similar to the log, but once it hits the target it bursts and out hops a Barbarian, ready to kick butt.
Sneaky Archer - there’s not a lot of details on the Sneaky Archer, but it seems she’ll be similar to your regular archers only faster.

Additionally, the news that new hero cards may be coming to Clash Royale this year was discussed in a Discord chat with official Clash Royale representatives. You can find out details about those new Heroes, here.
