The Goblins is a Common card that is unlocked from Goblin Stadium (Arena 1). It spawns four very fast, single-target, ground-targeting, melee, ground troops with low hitpoints and low damage. Their deployment is in a square formation. The Goblins take the appearance of small, green creatures with pointy ears, green eyes, dark green eyebrows, amber sclerae, and a large peach nose, while carrying daggers and wearing team-colored suspenders and wristbands, along with brown pants and shoes.

Trivia
- Goblins are small, grotesque, monstrous creatures that appear in the folklore of multiple European cultures. First attested in stories from the Middle Ages, they are ascribed conflicting abilities, temperaments, and appearances depending on the story and country of origin, ranging from mischievous household spirits to malicious, bestial thieves. They often have magical abilities similar to a fairy or demon, such as the ability to shapeshift. Similar creatures include duendes, kobolds, leprechauns, and ghouls. In the German and Dutch language setting of the game, the Goblins' name translates to "Kobolds".

Their Star Level 3 Skin grants them a dark red mohawk similar to the Level 6 Goblin in Clash of Clans.

In this period, elaborate pieces, often in the form of animals, are common. The earliest reliable data concerning atlatls have come from several caves in France dating to the Upper Paleolithic, about 21,000 to 17,000 years ago. The earliest known example is a 17,500-year-old Solutrean atlatl made of reindeer antler, found at Combe Saunière (Dordogne), France. Spear throwing was later supplemented by the bow and arrow in the Epi-Paleolithic, until it was added to the Ancient Olympic Games as part of the pentathlon in 708 BC. The Spear Goblins' spears can be seen on the Trophy Road as a decoration. A Trainer in the Training Camp is called Trainer Gary and uses an spear-related card in their deck which is Spear Goblins. This is a reference to the name origin of the name "Gary", which means "spear king".

Trivia
- The word "Barbarian" comes from the Greek "βάρβαρος" (bárbaros), meaning foreign.

A Cannon card costs 3 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- The word "Cannon" comes from the Akkadian word "𒄀" (qanû), meaning reed. Cannons were invented in China during the twelvth century. It was most likely developed in parallel or as an evolution of an earlier gunpowder weapon called the fire lance. Cannons were used for warfare by the late thirteenth century in the Yuan dynasty and spread throughout Eurasia in the fourteenth century. During the late Middle Ages, large and small cannons were developed for siege and field battles. The cannon replaced prior siege weapons such as the trebuchet. After the late Middle Ages, most large cannons were abandoned in favor of greater numbers of lighter, more maneuverable field artillery. The Cannon is 1 of 4 cards associated with cannonry, with the others being Royal Giant, Cannon Cart, and Cannoneer.

- The Cannon shares the first part of its description with the Tesla.
- Although Cannons themselves can only target ground troops, the King Tower's cannon can target both air and ground troops. This might be because the cannon is elevated on the tower.

Trivia
- The design of the Mega Minion resembles gargoyles. The gargoyle is a fantasy and horror monster inspired by the gargoyle architectural element.

A Battle Ram card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- A battering ram is a siege engine that originated in ancient times and was designed to break open the masonry walls of fortifications or splinter their wooden gates. In its simplest form, a battering ram is just a large, heavy log carried by several people and propelled with force against an obstacle; the ram would be sufficient to damage the target if the log were massive enough and/or it were moved quickly enough. The earliest depiction of a possible battering ram is from the tomb of the 11th Dynasty noble Khety, where a pair of soldiers advance towards a fortress under the protection of a mobile roofed structure, carrying a long pole that may represent a simple battering ram. In the German, Norwegian, Turkish, Indonesian and Finnish language settings of the game, the Battle Ram's name translates to "Battering Ram".

- It is 1 of 5 troops that have a charge, the others being Dark Prince, Prince, Raging Prince, and Ram Rider. It is also the only one that cannot jump over the river. The Battle Ram's charge shares the same sound effects as the Prince's and Raging Prince's, only at a lower pitch.
- The Battle Ram is 1 of 8 troops to die as a part of their attack, the others being the Electro Spirit, Fire Spirit, Ice Spirit, Skeleton Barrel, Heal Spirit, Suspicious Bush, and Wall Breakers.

Trivia
- The word "Electro" come from the Greek word "ἤλεκτρον" (elektron), meaning amber, referring to its electrostatic capabilities. Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. In the Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, and Thai language settings of the game, the Electro Spirit's name translates to "Electric Spirit". In the Chinese, Persian, and Finnish language settings of the game, the Electro Spirit's name translates to "Thunder Spirit", "Electric Soul", and "Lightning Spirit" respectively. The Electro Spirit is 1 of 11 cards associated with electricity, with the others being Zap, Tesla, Zappies, Electro Dragon, Electro Giant, Lightning, Electro Wizard, Sparky, Wizard Trio, and the Goblinstein.

- The Electro Spirit is 1 of 14 troops that has been featured with a Rage buff, the others being Giant, Zappies, Guards, Giant Skeleton, Goblin Giant, Electro Dragon, Wall Breakers, Electro Giant, Mega Knight, Ram Rider, Electro Wizard, Sparky, and Royal Ghost.
- The Electro Spirit is the only Spirit card that does not deal area damage. Instead it deals chain damage which hits up to 8 targets after its initial launch.
- The description is inaccurate as Electro Spirit does not inflict area damage; it likely refers to the massive count of the multi-hit chain lightning mechanic. The Electro Spirit is 1 of 4 troops that can deal damage to multiple units with one attack without an area damage radius, the others being Hunter, Electro Dragon, and Electro Wizard.
- In Touchdown, if an Electro Spirit jumps into the enemy end zone as it attacks, it does not count as a touchdown. This is because a jumping spirit no longer counts as a troop; it becomes similar to a projectile.

Trivia
- Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. The Zap is 1 of 11 cards associated with electricity, with the others being Electro Spirit, Tesla, Zappies, Electro Dragon, Electro Giant, Lightning, Electro Wizard, Sparky, Wizard Trio, and the Goblinstein.

Trivia
- The Bats resemble the in-life bat species called "Desmodus rotundus" (common vampire bat).

As an Evolution Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. Evolved P.E.K.K.A has a giant soul-sucking sword that restores health after slaying her enemies. · in English
From the game universe
What it looks like

A P.E.K.K.A card costs 7 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- P.E.K.K.A's name derives from the Finnish name for "Peter", which in turn comes from the Greek name "Petros", meaning stone.
- The acronym for P.E.K.K.A didn’t officially stand for anything in particular originally. Supercell held a Facebook contest on 22 August 2012 to see who could come up with the best written-out name for P.E.K.K.A as judged by the number of likes the comment received. The name "Perfectly Enraged Knight Killer of Assassins" was the winner. The person who submitted the acronym was called Víctor in the Facebook announcement.

However, the P.E.K.K.A in Clash Royale will never attack with the other sword or both swords, while the P.E.K.K.A in Clash of Clans will swing both.

A Royal Giant card costs 6 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- Cannons were invented in China during the twelfth century. It was most likely developed in parallel or as an evolution of an earlier gunpowder weapon called the fire lance. Cannons were used for warfare by the late thirteenth century in the Yuan dynasty and spread throughout Eurasia in the fourteenth century. During the late Middle Ages, large and small cannons were developed for siege and field battles. The cannon replaced prior siege weapons such as the trebuchet. After the late Middle Ages, most large cannons were abandoned in favor of greater numbers of lighter, more maneuverable field artillery. The Royal Giant is 1 of 4 cards associated with cannonry, with the others being Cannon, Cannon Cart, and Cannoneer. Oddly, the cannonball he holds is larger than the cannonball fired from his cannon.

- The cannon he wields appears to be the turret of a Level 7 Cannon in Clash of Clans. His Star Level 2 skin has a cannon that resembles the Level 10 Cannon in Clash of Clans.
- The Royal Giant was once very infamous among players for being overpowered due to his range and high hit points, meaning that he was harder to take down before landing a highly damaging shot. This is referenced in the game a few times: A Loading Screen Hint that reads “All cards are created equally… even Royal Giants.”. A post-battle 2v2 message that says “Nerf the Royal Giant”.
- While not available as a troop in Boom Beach, the Royal Giant made an appearance in an April Fool's video that Supercell posted in Boom Beach's Youtube channel.

Trivia
- Archaeological evidence suggests that pigs were domesticated from the wild boar in the Near East in the Tigris Basin, being managed in the wild in a way similar to the way they are managed by some modern New Guineans. Remains of pigs have been dated to earlier than 11,400 years ago in Cyprus. Those animals must have been introduced from the mainland, which suggests domestication in the adjacent mainland by then. Pigs were separately domesticated in China beginning 8,000 years ago, and have been one of the most important domesticated animals there ever since. In the French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Arabic, Portuguese, Persian, Indonesian, and Malaysian language settings of the game, the Royal Hogs' name translates to "Royal Pigs". In the Norwegian, Russian, and Chinese language settings of the game, the Royal Hogs' name translates to "Royal Boars".

The Three Musketeers is a Rare card that is unlocked from the Royal Arena (Arena 7). It spawns three single-target, air-targeting, long-ranged, ground troops with moderate hitpoints and moderate damage. Their deployment is in a triangle formation. If enemy troops are close to them, they switch to being single-target, ground-targeting, melee, ground troops with the same hitpoints and very high damage, and switch back to their ranged form when enemies are far from them.

Trivia
- The musket is a muzzle-loaded long gun that appeared as a smoothbore weapon in the early 16th century, at first as a heavier variant of the arquebus, capable of penetrating plate armour. By the mid-16th century, this type of musket gradually disappeared as the use of heavy armour declined, but muskets continued as the generic term for smoothbore long guns until the mid-19th century. In turn, this style of musket was retired in the 19th century when rifles became common.
- The name and description of the card is a reference to the classic novel, "The Three Musketeers", with the Musketeer card being a reference to the fourth Musketeer, D'Artagnan in the same novel.

- The first use of hot air balloons in warfare was in 1849, where the Austrian imperial forces besieging Venice attempted to float some 200 paper hot air balloons each carrying an 11–14 kg bomb that was to be dropped from the balloon with a time fuse over the besieged city.

- The Ice Spirit's description references that of Clash of Clans' Freeze spell, which is, "When the going gets hot, stay frosty!"; In the Spanish language setting of the game, the Ice Spirit's card description says "Winter is coming", which is a reference to Game of Thrones, more specifically, the first episode of the series.
- In Touchdown, if an Ice Spirit jumps into the enemy end zone as it attacks, it does not count as a point. This is because a jumping spirit no longer counts as a troop; it becomes similar to a projectile.

Trivia
- Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber.

From the game universe
What it looks like
The Tesla is a Common card that is unlocked from the Hog Mountain (Arena 10). It spawns a single-target, air-targeting, medium-ranged, building with high hitpoints and high damage. When there are no enemies within range, it retracts underground, making itself immune to all damage except for the Earthquake and the Freeze.

A Tesla card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- The card's name is a reference to Nikola Tesla, a famous scientist known for working with electricity.

In the Spanish, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese language settings of the game, the Tesla's name translates to "Tesla Tower", "Thunderbolt Tower", "Tesla Electromagnetic Tower", and "Electric Arc Tower" respectively.
- Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. The Tesla is 1 of 11 cards associated with electricity, with the others being Electro Spirit, Zap, Zappies, Electro Dragon, Electro Giant, Lightning, Electro Wizard, Sparky, Wizard Trio, and the Goblinstein.

Unlike its Clash of Clans counterpart, the Tesla in Clash Royale actively retreats when there are no valid targets, and when concealed is still visible to all sides, while also being vulnerable to Earthquake and Freeze. The word "electrickery" in its card description is also taken from its description from Clash of Clans.

- The Minions on the Minion Horde appear to have an underbite, similar to the Guards, Giant Skeleton, Lava Hound, and Super Lava Hound.
- The Minions in the card picture of Minion Horde are paler in skin color compared to the regular Minions, most likely due to the lighting of the area they are in. They also appear to be wearing burgundy fingerless gloves, as opposed to the indigo gloves worn by the regular Minions.

The Golem is an Epic card that is unlocked from the Hog Mountain (Arena 10). It spawns a slow, single-target, building-targeting, melee, ground troop with extremely high hitpoints and high damage. When defeated, the Golem explodes, dealing damage, inflicting knockback, while spawning two Golemites which have moderate hitpoints and low damage. Like the Golem, the Golemites also explode, dealing damage and inflicting knockback. The Golem is a colossal, menacing rock brute with team-colored eyes and crystals on its back, while its Golemites appear similarly, but are smaller with only one eye. A Golem card costs 8 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- The word "Golem" occurs once in the Bible in Psalm 139:16, which uses the word "golmi", that means "my light form", "raw" material, connoting the unfinished human being. A golem is an animated, anthropomorphic being in Jewish folklore, which is entirely created from inanimate matter, usually clay or mud. The most famous golem narrative involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the late 16th-century rabbi of Prague. In the Vietnamese language setting of the game, the Golem's name translates to "Stone Man".
- The Golem was likely inspired by the Promethean from Age of Mythology, as both units are stone creatures that split in two, smaller versions of themselves once defeated.
- The Golem is 1 of 19 troops which first existed in Clash of Clans, the others being Minions, Archers, Goblins, Skeletons, Barbarians, Giant, Valkyrie, Wizard, Hog Rider, Witch, P.E.K.K.A, Balloon, Wall Breakers, Bowler, Cannon Cart, Phoenix, Lava Hound, and the Archer Queen. The Golem resembles the Level 6 Golem from Clash of Clans. The Golem in Clash Royale shares its deploy sound effect with its Clash of Clans counterpart's. In Clash Royale, Golemites possess a unique design, animations, and sound effects, while in Clash of Clans, Golemites are a scaled-down version of the Golem, and have the same sound effects as the Golem, only at a higher pitch. Unlike in Clash of Clans, the Clash Royale counterpart always spawns 2 Golemites regardless of Level, while the Golem in Clash of Clans may spawn more than 2 Golemites depending on the Level.
- It is the most expensive Epic card, costing 8 Elixir, not counting the Mirror as it does not have a defined Elixir cost. It is also currently the only permanent 8 Elixir card in Clash Royale.
- The Golem's stats are the highest or lowest among all troops. More specifically: The Golem has the highest hitpoints of all troops, with 7,456 hitpoints at Level 15. The Golem has the longest deployment time of all troops, with a deployment time of 3 seconds.
- The Golem has been featured in multiple special game modes outside of the card. More specifically: The Golem is 1 of 23 troops that have been featured in the Troop Rush game mode, the others being Skeletons, Skeleton Dragons, Fire Spirit, Bats, Elite Barbarians, Firecracker, Rascal Girls, Royal Hogs, Heal Spirit, Elixir Golem, Guards, Prince, Balloon, Wall Breakers, Ram Rider, Sparky, Phoenix, Royal Ghost, Bandit, Lumberjack, Santa Hog Rider, and the Monk.

- The Golem shares the first part of his description with the Giant.
- The Golem is 1 of 15 troops which bring an excited reaction from the audience upon spawning and brings a collective groan from the audience when defeated, as well as a concerning gasp when the opponent plays it, the others include Royal Giant, Giant, P.E.K.K.A, Giant Skeleton, Rune Giant, Goblin Giant, Bowler, Electro Wizard, Inferno Dragon, Sparky, Lava Hound, Night Witch, Super Lava Hound, and the Monk.
- A Loading Screen Hint suggests that the Golem's heart is made of stone.
- Unlike the Ice Golem, the Golem only punches with one hand, whereas the Ice Golem attacks with both hands. The Elixir Golem attacks with both hands, but the Elixir Golemites use one hand and the Elixir Blobs appear to bite.
- The Golem is featured as a skin for Barbarian King in Clash of Clans.
- The Golem is featured in non-Clash games. More specifically: The Golem, along with the Goblins and the Archer Queen, was featured as a character skin for the Rook in Chess. The Golem, along with the Minions, Bomber, Skeletons, Skeleton Dragons, Ice Spirit, Mini P.E.K.K.A, Mega Minion, Ice Golem, Dart Goblin, Elixir Golem, Goblin Brawler, Guards, Baby Dragon, P.E.K.K.A, Giant Skeleton, Wall Breakers, Bowler, Executioner, Mega Knight, Inferno Dragon, Royal Ghost, and Lava Hound, are featured as a monster in Squad Busters.
FurnaceAdded to the game on May 3, 2016The Furnace spawns one Fire Spirit at a time. It also makes great brick-oven pancakes.
As an Evolution All fired up! When it’s hot and attacking, Evolved Furnace summons Fire Spirits even faster from hat to hearth. · in English
From the game universe
What it looks like
The Furnace is a Rare card that is unlocked from the Hog Mountain (Arena 10). It spawns a single-target, air-targeting, long-ranged, ground troop with moderate hitpoints and moderate damage, but slow hit speed. Every 7 seconds, the Furnace will passively summon a Fire Spirit in front. It appears to be a cast-iron steam locomotive armor with limbs wearing team-colored gloves and pants, chainmail, and a metal witch-like hat on top and a grate in the center. It also holds a wooden staff with a cauldron placed on top filled with bubbling lava in it, along with a large metal knob on the bottom with black spikes on it. A Furnace card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- Much like the Heal Spirit, who was the first card to be reworked into a Troop from a Spell, the Furnace is also a first of its kind rework. Only instead it was reworked into a troop from a building.
- In the German, Turkish, Japanese and Finnish language settings of the game, the Furnace's name translates to "Oven". In the Norwegian, Korean, and Chinese language settings of the game, the Furnace's name translates to "Fireplace", "Blast Furnace", and "Furnace of Flames" respectively.
- The Furnace was the first building to be added to the game after Clash Royale's release.
- While the current, reworked Furnace is not available as a troop in Clash of Clans, the original version is available as a Dark Elixir troop. The Furnace in Clash of Clans spawns "Firemites" instead of Fire Spirits, although one could argue that a Firemite is just a Fire Spirit under a different name.
- The Furnace is 1 of 23 cards that has had its Elixir cost changed, the others being Bomber, Fire Spirit, Royal Recruits, Cannon, Mortar, Musketeer, Three Musketeers, Heal, Goblin Hut, Bomb Tower, Barbarian Hut, Elixir Collector, Skeleton Army, P.E.K.K.A., Wall Breakers, Electro Giant, Bowler, Goblin Barrel, Barbarian Barrel, Rage, Fisherman, and the Monk.
- The Furnace's description could be a reference towards the Mini P.E.K.K.A since the Mini P.E.K.K.A says "pancakes" when deployed in the Arena.
- This may be inspired by a scrapped card idea called the "Fire Knight" and he slightly resembles the Potter from Clash Mini.
- The Furnace was featured in the winning deck of the The Crown Duel Tournament, by a player called Backstabx.
- The Furnace is the subject of multiple Emotes.
ZappiesAdded to the game on December 12, 2017Spawns a pack of miniature Zap machines. Who controls them...? Only the Master Builder knows.
From the game universe
What it looks like
The Zappies is a Rare card that is unlocked from the Hog Mountain (Arena 10). It spawns three single-target, air-targeting, medium-ranged, ground troops with moderate hitpoints and low damage. Their deployment is in a triangle formation. Each of their attacks stun the target for 0.5 seconds. They appear as small machines having an upwards coil on a wooden chassis and wheels, with a spiked steel ram at the front and team-colored flags at the rear. A Zappies card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. The Zappies are 1 of 11 cards associated with electricity, with the others being Electro Spirit, Zap, Tesla, Electro Dragon, Electro Giant, Lightning, Electro Wizard, Sparky, Wizard Trio, and the Goblinstein.
- The Zappies are 1 of 17 troops that inspired a troop in Clash of Clans, the others being Spear Goblins, Bomber, Bats, Skeleton Barrel, Minion Horde, Firecracker, Battle Ram, Ice Golem, Baby Dragon, Giant Skeleton, Ram Rider, Inferno Dragon, Miner, Royal Ghost, Ice Wizard, and Night Witch. It is the only troop from Clash Royale that is only available as a defensive troop in Clash of Clans. The Zappies' description implies its creator is the Master Builder, a character from Clash of Clans.
- The Zappies are one of the first troop cards to receive a card render, alongside the Archers, Knight, Goblins, Bomber, Skeletons, Barbarians, Bats, Royal Recruits, Skeleton Barrel, Rascals, Musketeer, Giant, Valkyrie, Wizard, Flying Machine, Hog Rider, Royal Hogs, Dart Goblin, Elixir Golem, Baby Dragon, Skeleton Army, Witch, P.E.K.K.A, Prince, Balloon, Giant Skeleton, Goblin Giant, Hunter, Electro Dragon, Wall Breakers, Bowler, Cannon Cart, Mega Knight, Ram Rider, Miner, Royal Ghost, Ice Wizard, Magic Archer, Bandit, Lava Hound, Night Witch, and Fisherman.
- The Zappies are 1 of 14 troops that has been featured with a Rage buff, the others being Electro Spirit, Giant, Guards, Giant Skeleton, Goblin Giant, Electro Dragon, Wall Breakers, Electro Giant, Mega Knight, Ram Rider, Electro Wizard, Sparky, and Royal Ghost.
- The Zappies are 1 of 2 non-Legendary, Champion, Evolution or Hero troops to fall from the sky when deployed, the other being the Rune Giant. Cloned Zappies do not fall from the sky when deployed.

He appears as a Knight with blue eyes and black eyebrows, wearing a helmet with a team-colored feather on top, maces on his arms, and huge dark armor. A Mega Knight card costs 7 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- The word "Knight" comes from the German "Knecht", meaning servant or vassal. Originally, knights were associated with mounted warriors, later being considered a class of lower nobility, until eventually, knighthood had become associated with the ideals of chivalry, a code of conduct for the perfect courtly Christian warrior. Often, a knight was a vassal who served as an elite fighter or a bodyguard for a lord, with payment in the form of land holdings. In the Chinese and Vietnamese language settings of the game, the Mega Knight's name translates to "Super Knight".

- Since the description implies it lands with the force of "1,000 mustaches", it is implied that the force of 1 mustache deals approximately 0.429 damage at Tournament Standard.
- The Mega Knight was originally a Knight who had been teased by other Knights for having small and weak hands, as seen in a short. Previous theories by fans were that the Mega Knight was the Builder from Clash of Clans, but this was disproven by Supercell. Although fans continue to speculate and are not entirely convinced.

What it looks like
The Sparky is a Legendary card that is unlocked from the Electro Valley (Arena 11). It spawns a slow, area-damage, ground-targeting, medium-ranged, ground troop with high hitpoints and extremely high damage. Sparky will charge up over time, releasing her attack when it is full and when an enemy is within her range. However, this charge can be reset by a stun effect. A common example is the Zap which can reset Sparky's charge. She takes the appearance of a large machine with a front-facing golden tesla coil with an attached steel ram and a plate at the front and rear, a wooden base with 4 wheels and golden coil springs, and team-colored body encased in black metallic frame. A Sparky card costs 6 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- The name "Sparky" is a gender-neutral name of Middle English and Old Norse origins from the surname "Spark", meaning “lively”, “high-spirited”, “sprightly”, and “vivacious”. Despite it being a gender-neutral name, Sparky has been confirmed to be female, according to her card description. In the French and Chinese language settings of the game, the Sparky's name translates to "Zappy" and "Electromagnetic Gun" respectively. In the Turkish language setting of the game, Sparky's name lacks the diminutive suffix, causing it to have a name that translates to just "Spark".

Trivia
- The word "Wizard" comes from the Middle English "wys", meaning wise. In the German, Persian, and Vietnamese language settings of the game, the Wizard's name translates to "Electro Magician". In the Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, and Thai language settings of the game, the Electro Wizard's name translates to "Electric Wizard". In the Chinese and Finnish language settings of the game, the Wizard's name translates to "Thunder Mage" and "Lightning Wizard" respectively.
- The word "Electro" come from the Greek word "ἤλεκτρον" (elektron), meaning amber, referring to its electrostatic capabilities. Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. The Electro Wizard is 1 of 11 cards associated with electricity, with the others being Electro Spirit, Zap, Tesla, Zappies, Electro Dragon, Electro Giant, Lightning, Sparky, Wizard Trio, and the Goblinstein.

- The Electro Wizard, the Mega Knight, and the Ice Wizard are the only troops that deal spawn damage. The Electro Wizard used to have a "Crown Tower Spawn Damage" statistic despite the fact that its restricted deployment meant its spawn damage could never hit a Crown Tower. This was most likely because he spawned with a Zap instead of having his own spawn damage. This, however, was removed from the statistics in the Champions Update.
- The Electro Wizard was the first card to be introduced in the game through a Challenge.
- The Electro Wizard is 1 of 14 troops that has been featured with a Rage buff, the others being Electro Spirit, Giant, Zappies, Guards, Giant Skeleton, Goblin Giant, Electro Dragon, Wall Breakers, Electro Giant, Mega Knight, Ram Rider, Sparky, and Royal Ghost.

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.

- 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.

Trivia
- The word "Electro" comes from the Greek word "ἤλεκτρον" (elektron), meaning amber, referring to its electrostatic capabilities. Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. In the Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, and Thai language settings of the game, the Electro Giant's name translates to "Electric Giant".

From the game universe
What it looks like
The Elixir Golem is a Rare card that is unlocked from Serenity Peak (Arena 14). It spawns a slow, single-target, building-targeting, melee, ground troop with high hitpoints and high damage.

An Elixir Golem card costs 3 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- The word "Golem" occurs once in the Bible in Psalm 139:16, which uses the word "golmi", that means "my light form", "raw" material, connoting the unfinished human being. A golem is an animated, anthropomorphic being in Jewish folklore, which is entirely created from inanimate matter, usually clay or mud. The most famous golem narrative involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the late 16th-century rabbi of Prague.
- The word “Elixir” comes from the Arabic word "اَلْإِكْسِير" (al iksir), which is the word for miracle substances. Dating back to the third century BC, Elixir was rumored to change base metals into gold and prolong life indefinitely.
- The Elixir Golem was designed after a scrapped concept, which involved a monster constructed entirely from Elixir. It was also originally called "Elixir Monster", and it would involve an Elixir Monster that would spawn Elixirmites when destroyed, Those Elixirmites would be fused back to an Elixir Monster if they were not defeated in time. This was later introduced with the C.H.A.O.S Epic Modifier From Blob to Glob.
- The Elixir Golem first made an appearance in an April Fool's image that Supercell posted in a Tweet, showing an 8v8 battle.
- According to a Clash of Clans comment on Reddit, the Elixir Golem was prototyped during the development of TH12 in Clash of Clans. It would have gained strength as it creates destruction, and adopt the Rage Spell's characteristics when destroyed, similar to the Lumberjack. However, it was scrapped due to its complex mechanics.

From the game universe
What it looks like
The Mirror is an Epic card that is unlocked from the Miner's Mine (Arena 15). It is a spell that repeats the last card used by the player for 1 extra Elixir.

Trivia
- The word "Mirror" comes from the Latin "mīrus", meaning wonderful. The earliest manufactured mirrors were pieces of polished stone such as obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass. Examples of obsidian mirrors found at Çatalhöyük in Anatolia have been dated to around 6000 BCE. Mirrors are still used to this day for multiple applications, whether that is for transportation, architecture, or general aesthetics.
- The Mirror is the only card in the game that does not have a defined Elixir cost. However, the cost will always be at least 2 and at most 10, as there are no other cards that cost less than 1 or more than 9. When calculating the Average Elixir Cost of a deck, the Mirror is treated as a 1.5 Elixir card. Before the May 2016 Update, it was simply ignored in calculating the average cost as if the deck had only 7 cards. Mirror is grouped with 1 Elixir cards when sorting them by Elixir in-game.

It appears as a Cannon with a wooden base atop a wooden cart, with a small team-colored ridge at the rear and a large bolted ridge in the center. A Cannon Cart card costs 5 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- The word "Cannon" comes from the Akkadian word "𒄀" (qanû), meaning reed. Cannons were invented in China during the twelvth century. It was most likely developed in parallel or as an evolution of an earlier gunpowder weapon called the fire lance. Cannons were used for warfare by the late thirteenth century in the Yuan dynasty and spread throughout Eurasia in the fourteenth century. During the late Middle Ages, large and small cannons were developed for siege and field battles. The cannon replaced prior siege weapons such as the trebuchet. After the late Middle Ages, most large cannons were abandoned in favor of greater numbers of lighter, more maneuverable field artillery. The Cannon Cart is 1 of 4 cards associated with cannonry, with the others being Royal Giant, Cannon, and Cannoneer. In the Japanese language setting of the game, the Cannon Cart is revealed to be a Type 60 Self-Propelled Recoilless Gun.

The first part of the Cannon Cart's description was taken from the Cannon Cart in Clash of Clans, where it says "A cannon on wheels?! Wait, did it just turn into a mortar?? Bet they won't see that coming! Both powerful and versatile!"; Its ability differs from its Clash of Clans counterpart. Instead of dropping its wheels when the shield is destroyed, the Clash of Clans Cannon Cart can be switched between its moving and stationary form, with its stationary form having higher range and area damage, similar to a Mortar. Its Star Level 3 skin grants it the Golden Dragon's head, a boss that appears in a Single Player Map in Clash of Clans.
- The Cannon Cart is one of the first troop cards to receive a card render, alongside the Archers, Knight, Goblins, Bomber, Skeletons, Barbarians, Bats, Royal Recruits, Skeleton Barrel, Rascals, Musketeer, Giant, Valkyrie, Wizard, Flying Machine, Hog Rider, Royal Hogs, Dart Goblin, Zappies, Elixir Golem, Baby Dragon, Skeleton Army, Witch, P.E.K.K.A, Prince, Balloon, Giant Skeleton, Goblin Giant, Hunter, Electro Dragon, Wall Breakers, Bowler, Mega Knight, Ram Rider, Miner, Royal Ghost, Ice Wizard, Magic Archer, Bandit, Lava Hound, Night Witch, and Fisherman.

- The Cannon Cart is 1 of 10 cards to have an alliterative name, the others being Royal Recruits, Goblin Gang, Mega Minion, Goblin Giant, Barbarian Barrel, Ram Rider, Dagger Duchess, Boss Bandit, and the Mighty Miner.
- Since the Cannon Cart is a troop, it can be cloned, and a cloned copy will drop a cloned cannon, making it the only case where Clone can generate a building. Since the cloned cannon still has a limited lifetime, it is the only cloned troop with a health bar.
- The Cannon Cart is unavailable in The Floor is Healing Challenge, as buildings are unavailable and its second form is a building.
- When a Cannon Cart turns into a building, it drops its wheels. However, only 3 wheels are seen to come off despite it having 4 wheels.
- The Cannon Cart was featured in the winning deck of the Clash Royale League 2020 Tournament, by a player called Ruben.
- There used to be a glitch where if the Neutral Fisherman targeted an unshielded Cannon Cart, he would move away from the center towards the Cannon Cart and staying there until the battle ended or he moved towards another unshielded Cannon Cart.

Rockets are still used to this day for multiple purposes, whether that is military, science, and entertainment. The Goblin Machine is 1 of 5 cards that are associated with rocketry, with the others being Firecracker, Rocket, Party Rocket, and Rocket Silo.

A Mighty Miner card costs 4 Elixir to deploy, and his ability costs an additional 1 Elixir to activate.
Trivia
- The word "Mine" and by extension "Miner" come from the Celtic "meinis", meaning ore. Mining was invented from the beginning of civilization, with the oldest mine being the Ngwenya Mine in Eswatini, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. At this site Paleolithic humans mined hematite to make the red pigment ochre. Mining is still done to this day, for the extraction of rare-earth minerals for industrial use. In the German and Arabic language settings of the game, the Mighty Miner's name translates to "Great Miner". In the French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Persian, Malaysian, and Vietnamese language settings of the game, the Mighty Miner's name translates to "Master Miner", "Big Miner", "Colossal Miner", "Mega Miner", "Solid Miner", "Power Miner", "Nimble Miner", "Pumped up Miner", "Powerful Miner", "Superior Miner", and "Brave Miner" respectively.

- The Mighty Miner is 1 of 7 troops that has had its movement speed classification changed, the others being Skeleton Barrel, Elite Barbarians, Suspicious Bush, Goblin Brawler, Cannon Cart, and Lumberjack.
- The Super Miner troop in Clash of Clans is likely inspired from the Mighty Miner, with both wielding a hand drill that deals damage overtime the longer they attack, and both having the ability to leave a bomb.

- The Mighty Miner is 1 of 10 cards to have an alliterative name, the others being the Royal Recruits, Goblin Gang, Mega Minion, Goblin Giant, Cannon Cart, Barbarian Barrel, Ram Rider, Dagger Duchess, and the Boss Bandit.
- As he charges up his drill attack, the tip of the drill will turn different colors, with orange in Stage 2 and red in Stage 3.
- Despite carrying a bomb-like backpack, he does not get rid of the bomb on his back when using his ability, probably due to the fact he can use the ability multiple times.
- From his description, the “walk softly… and carry a big drill!” line is a reference to the USA President Theodore Roosevelt's quote which says “speak softly and carry a big stick”.
- The Mighty Miner is unavailable in multiple special game modes.

Trivia
- Goblins are small, grotesque, monstrous creatures that appear in the folklore of multiple European cultures. First attested in stories from the Middle Ages, they are ascribed conflicting abilities, temperaments, and appearances depending on the story and country of origin, ranging from mischievous household spirits to malicious, bestial thieves. They often have magical abilities similar to a fairy or demon, such as the ability to shapeshift. Similar creatures include duendes, kobolds, leprechauns, and ghouls. The Goblinstein is 1 of 17 cards associated with Goblins, with the others being Spear Goblins, Goblin Gang, Baby Goblins, Dart Goblin, Goblin Demolisher, Suspicious Bush, Goblin Cage, Goblin Hut, Goblin Giant, Goblin Barrel, Goblin Curse, Goblin Drill, Goblin Machine, Party Rocket, Party Hut, and of course, Goblins.
- In the German language settings of the game, the Goblinstein's name translates to "Dr. Frankobold".
- The card is a reference to the science fiction novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley.
- Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. The Goblinstein is 1 of 11 cards associated with electricity, with the others being Electro Spirit, Zap, Tesla, Zappies, Electro Dragon, Electro Giant, Lightning, Electro Wizard, Wizard Trio, and Sparky.
- An alternate version of the Goblinstein's card image can be seen in its trailer, resembling the same art but zoomed in on the Doctor's face.

- The Goblinstein and his Monster are the subject of 4 Emotes.
- The Goblinstein was featured in the winning deck of the Clash Royale League 2024 Tournament, by a player called Mohamed Light.
- After the September 2025 update, a player can have multiple copies of the same Champion with the current active Champion having a crown symbol. However, the active Monster currently has no indicator. Also, in 2v2, if both players of one team use Goblinstein, there is no indicator about which Monster is associated to which Doctor.

Trivia
- The word "Cannon" and by extention "Cannoneer" comes from the Akkadian word "𒄀" (qanû), meaning reed. Cannons were invented in China during the twelfth century. It was most likely developed in parallel or as an evolution of an earlier gunpowder weapon called the fire lance. Cannons were used for warfare by the late thirteenth century in the Yuan dynasty and spread throughout Eurasia in the fourteenth century. During the late Middle Ages, large and small cannons were developed for siege and field battles. The cannon replaced prior siege weapons such as the trebuchet. After the late Middle Ages, most large cannons were abandoned in favor of greater numbers of lighter, more maneuverable field artillery. The Cannoneer is 1 of 4 cards associated with cannonry, with the others being Royal Giant, Cannon, and Cannon Cart.
