Story

Added to the game on October 28, 2016

From the game universe

What it looks like

The Graveyard is a Legendary card that is unlocked from the Spooky Town (Arena 12). It is spell with a large radius. After 2.2 seconds, it spawns a single Skeleton that appears to be rising from a tombstone with the letters "XX" on it every 0.5 seconds for 9 seconds on the edge of the spell's radius. A Graveyard card costs 5 Elixir to deploy.

Trivia

  • In Clash of Clans, there is a similar spell called the Skeleton Spell, which summons Skeletons within its radius. It originally summoned its Skeletons all at once, but has since been reworked to behave similarly to the Graveyard. However, unlike the Graveyard, the Skeleton Spell in Clash of Clans spawns Skeletons with shields, similar to Guards.
  • The Graveyard is 1 of 15 cards associated with Skeletons, with the others being Bomber, Skeleton Dragons, Skeleton Barrel, Tombstone, Bomb Tower, Skeleton Army, Guards, Witch, Balloon, Giant Skeleton, Wall Breakers, Super Witch, Skeleton King, and of course, Skeletons. In the Norwegian, Arabic, Indonesian, and Vietnamese language settings of the game, the Graveyard's name translates to "Cemetery". In the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese language settings of the game, the Graveyard's name translates to "Skeleton Rush", "Tomb", and "Skeleton Call" respectively. A Trainer in the Training Camp is called Trainer Gravy, and uses the Graveyard in the deck. This is a reference to the fact that the word "graveyard" can be abbreviated to "gravy". It is the only spell card associated with Skeletons.
  • The Graveyard is 1 of 7 spells which have team-colored rings on their radius, the others are Earthquake, Freeze, Poison, Rage, Clone, and Tornado.
  • The small tombstones visual effect can be seen in this card's image and also when this card is deployed. This effect is taken from Clash of Clans when Elixir troops die.
  • The jingle that plays upon its deployment is an excerpt from the Clash of Clans battle theme.
  • The Graveyard was featured in the winning decks of multiple Clash Royale Tournaments. More specifically: The Graveyard was featured in the winning deck of the The Crown Duel Tournament, by a player called Backstabx. The Graveyard was featured in the winning deck of the Clash Royale League 2019 Tournament, by a player called Surgical Goblin. The Graveyard was featured in the winning deck of the Clash Royale League 2020 Tournament, by a player called Ruben.
  • On 27/3/2023, a Trainer was added to the game called Boss Cheddar, and used a Level 18 Graveyard in their deck, despite the highest Level being Level 14 at the time. This Trainer was removed on 18/4/2023.
  • In an update on 24/11/2025, Graveyard's deploy sound was mysteriously removed from the game (As was the attack sound of the Electro Dragon and Electro Spirit), giving it an unintentional buff as when played, it would be completely silent and players might not notice it being placed. This was fixed a couple days later in a bugfix update on 26/11/2025.
