Clash Royale Sneak Peak 1: New “Jungle” Arena Arrives With January 13 Update
On Monday afternoon, the Supercell team dropped the first Sneak Peek for the January Clash Royale update, which features a brand new Arena 9 – the Jungle arena. Wedged between the Frozen and Legendary arenas, this new arena is reached when players hit 2600 trophies. The Arena features lush greenery and is a bit darker than most arenas as we see jungle leaves framing the outer edge of the arena. The bridge is made of three wooden logs and a lily pad can be found floating through the water under the bridges at some point in the gameplay. The arena is a nice addition for players struggling to work there way from the Frozen to Legendary arena, which requires a pretty large jump in trophies. We at iDigitalTimes can’t wait to get started playing in this brand new arena. The Jungle arena will become available on January 13 during the next major Clash Royale update.
Clash Royale Sneak Peak 2: Four New Cards Introduced
The second Sneak Peek, which was dropped by Supercell early Tuesday morning, showcases four upcoming cards – including one legendary, two rare and a common. Below are all the details on each of the cards and when they will be released.
Card #1 – Dart Goblin
The Dart Goblin is a rare card that will become available January 13 for players in the Jungle arena. According to Supercell, the final three cards will be released at two-week increments following the Dart Goblin.
The Dart Goblin is a three elixir card and is an air and ground attacker. According to his description, the Dart Goblin “runs fast, shoots far and chews gum.” His range is 6.5, which makes him better than the spear goblins but, but not quite as far shooting as the legendary princess.
Card #2 – Goblin Gang
This is a card I’m excited about because it’s essentially a goblin value pack. For just three elixir, you get three spear goblins and three regular goblins with swords. This card will be a common troop and I fully expect to see it populating a lot of decks.
Card #3 – Battle Ram
This is another card that seems like an amazing value for four elixir. This rare card comes with two barbarians lugging a massive log. The card targets buildings and when it makes an impact, it’s nothing to blink at. After the log as done its damage the two barbarians then set to getting in a few final jabs at the building with their swords.
Card #4 - Executioner
This is an epic card that also becomes available when players hit the Jungle Arena. This card costs five elixir and does both air and ground damage. The executioner has a mighty axe that he throws like a boomerang, annihilating troops on the way out and back. Yikes! Definitely an interesting new card. I can’t wait to see how players use it in battle.
Sneak Peek #3 And #4 - Clan Chest And Epic Cards(Updated 12/14/16)
- On Wednesday, Supercell dropped more Sneak Peeks, including validation for an earlier rumor that a new chest was coming to the arena. To find out more about the Clan Chest and other details of Sneak Peek #3 and #4, see our latest post, here.
In addition to a new arena and four new cards, there are rumors that a new chest could be coming to the arena in January. A purported leaked image of a new chest appeared on Reddit Monday evening that many players are dubbing the “Gold Chest.” What the chest contains or if it is just an updated image for a chest already available is at this time unclear, but it has plenty of folks guessing. Thus far, Supercell has made no mention of new chests, but it could be ahead in a future Sneak Peek. As soon as anything new is learned about the leaked chest image, we’ll be sure to update this post.
