Mobile tower game Clash Royale recently revealed the upcoming Mighty Miner deck, which will include the titular Mighty Miner as the new champion. The Mighty Miner will be the first new champion released since the first three - the Archer Queen, the Golden Knight, and the Skeleton King - were released in October 2021.
Clash Royale is one of the most popular and profitable mobile games on the market. Although it is free-to-play, Clash Royale makes most of its income through the sale of cards, emotes, and trade tokens. While updates to Clash Royale are fairly infrequent (the last update was the Champions Update that added those three champions), developer Supercell manages to maintain interest via ongoing events like Clan Wars. Even still, without gameplay updates some players fear that gameplay can grow stale. For those players already tiring of Clash Royale, Supercell had some great news.
According to a video posted to the Clash Royale YouTube channel, the latest update to the game, which is known as the Miner Update, has arrived. Of course, the biggest addition from the update is the titular Mighty Miner. The Mighty Miner uses a drill to repeatedly damage enemy units and also has a special ability called Explosive Escape that lets him dash from one side of the map to the other. The Mighty Miner costs 2 elixir to play and the Explosive Escape ability costs 2 elixir to use. The update brings a new card mastery feature to Clash Royale that will let players unlock new challenges as they use certain cards more often, granting them more rewards. Players can also earn mastery badges, indicating how proficient they are using a given card or unit.
Already, Clash Royale players are expressing their glee at this addition of the Mighty Miner. Some are worried that the Mighty Miner will be a bit overpowered because of his high health. However, other Clash Royale players are quick to point out that the other champions that were added during the last major update all appeared to be overpowered when they were released as well. In fact, many players are considering certain counters to ground him and kill the Mighty Miner.
Still, the addition of a new champion to Clash Royale will help improve the state of the game and give players new strategies to master. The update also promises to fix some glitches and bugs, including an odd interaction when the Bandit dashes. If nothing else, the new challenges and badges give Clash Royale players something new to unlock and achieve as they work to build their decks and destroy the enemy towers.
Clash Royale is available now on iOS and Android devices.
