Hey r/ClashRoyale!

The next few months will be full of exciting additions to Clash Royale:

  • 2v2 League is on the way! - New Evolution Box - expanding how you can earn Evos. 
  • Seasonal content will bring the holiday spirit, featuring a new Seasonal Lucky Chest and a Clashmas event packed with rewards.
  • Trophy Road will be reworked. 
  • And for the biggest part of the update: something heroic is coming! One that will take gameplay to a new level… but more on that later!

First, we want to discuss something that affects every player….

LET’S TALK PROGRESSION!

Over time, Clash Royale’s progression system has expanded quite a lot. Between Elite Wild Cards, Books, Magic Coins, and Gold, the path to upgrading cards hasn’t always been straightforward. Some players have held onto resources for the “right moment,” while others have found themselves with items, like Elite Wild Cards and Books, they weren’t sure how to use and earn.

With our next update on November 24th, we’re aiming to make progression simpler, more consistent, and ultimately more rewarding.

GOODBYE, ELITE WILD CARDS!

When we first introduced Elite Level, Elite Wild Cards were meant to be a more passive form of progression — something players could achieve at a slower pace while still feeling exciting and rewarding. Over time, we saw that players didn’t really experience it that way, and the system itself felt a bit confusing and less satisfying than directly collecting and upgrading cards.

As a result, we’ve decided to say goodbye to Elite Wild Cards.

Any remaining Elite Wild Cards in your inventory will automatically convert into Gems, which can be used to purchase cards of your choice through the new Gem economy rework launching with the update.

https://preview.redd.it/dh5hdhqtqf0g1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d282b67bb82b2debfc40fe6b0dff0ea50a39d8e

You’ll no longer need to grind daily rewards hoping for those missing cards — now, you can buy exactly what you need with Gems!

As you may have noticed, we’ve also removed Elite Wild Cards from Ranked and Trophy Road rewards this month to avoid confusion before the change.

This marks a big step toward a simpler, more transparent system, where your progress always feels meaningful and connected to the cards you play.

BACK TO THE BASICS

In addition to removing Elite Wild Cards, we’re trimming down some overlapping items to simplify the core of progression.

We’ve seen many players end up in situations where they’ve maxed out their Book inventory with no good time to use them. We also noticed that the value of Books didn’t scale well between levels, discouraging players from using them since they didn’t feel as rewarding at lower levels. This wasn’t the experience we wanted — players were spending more energy managing their inventory than having fun with the card collection system.

After the update, your hard-earned Books (from Common to Legendary) will be converted into an equivalent number of Wild Cards, and Magic Coins into Gold. Books of Books will convert into Gems, which can be used as part of the new Gem economy rework mentioned above. To make things even easier, we’re also increasing the number of random cards earned throughout the game.

All conversion rates are based on your King Tower Level and match the new, reduced card and Gold requirements (explained later in this article) in a directly equivalent ratio. This is approximately the conversion rate of King Tower Level plus one. For example, if you’re King Tower Level 10, you’ll receive enough Wild Cards to fully upgrade a card from level 10 to 11. For players below King Tower Level 6, we have a minimum conversion rate, allowing for the lowest number of Wild Cards you can receive to be equivalent to upgrading a card to level 7.

Check out the conversion rates below!

NEW CARD LEVELS AND UPGRADING

After adding the Elite Level system, we learned that progression felt much less intuitive than expected. The Elite Wild Card system made upgrades feel harder for some players, and many felt stuck after reaching the top.

This system also conflicted with our design philosophy and goal to make Clash Royale a dynamic, evergreen gaming experience, enjoyed for many years to come. 

Now that the system is simpler, we’re ready for the next step!

With our next update, we’re introducing Level 16 — a new milestone designed to keep progress meaningful for players who’ve already maxed their decks and are looking for their next goal, while making the earlier levels more accessible so that progressing through upgrades still feels smooth and natural.

We’ve also reduced card and Gold upgrade requirements in mid levels to keep the pace smooth and consistent. Reaching the new levels with simply cards and Gold should now feel similar to reaching Level 14.

You can compare the old and new values below.

FAQs

What if I’ve already started upgrading a Level 14 card?

If you’ve already used Elite Wild Cards on a partial upgrade, these will be converted into copies of that card that will mirror the exact progress to the next level. For example, if you’re King Tower Level 14 and you’ve invested 25,000 Elite Wild Cards into a Common Card, such as your Level 14 Knight, your Knight will have 2,750 card copies applied to its progress when the update drops.

What happens if my Wild Card storages are full?

Any Wild Cards received from Books that exceed your storage limit will overflow, allowing you to still use them to upgrade your cards to the new level.

Will Ranked still be capped at Level 15?

Yes! Based on your feedback from the release of Level 15, cards in Ranked will be capped at Level 15 for the first 6 months after release (until May 2026 season) in order to give you time to start upgrading your cards to Level 16.

What will happen to additional copies of cards at Level 16 in the new system? 

Overflow copies of maxed cards will now convert into Crystals! Crystals are a new currency that you’ll be able to exchange for cosmetics in the Shop, starting with a number of exclusive emotes. We’ll share more on that closer to the update!

TROPHY ROAD EXTENSION & CHANGES TO RANKED

Once the update lands, Trophy Road will extend to 12,000 Trophies, introducing four new Arenas between 10,000 and 12,000 Trophies. This update adds new milestones and extends rewards for high-level players!

New Trophy Road Arenas

Players can continue earning rewards as they advance through each new Arena.

Seasonal Arenas will be temporarily paused when these new Arenas are added, allowing endgame players an opportunity to climb to Arena 28 without the pressure of missing out on seasonal content.

Updates to Ranked Access

You no longer need to finish the entire Trophy Road to enter Ranked!

Now, you unlock Ranked when you reach the required Trophy milestone for that season:

Additionally, reaching Champion League in Ranked will continue to ensure the mode stays unlocked in the following season

Don’t forget, Ranked will be capped at Level 15 when the update drops up until the May season in 2026.

TL;DR

Coming with the update, on November 24th:

  • Existing resources will that will be automatically converted: 
    • Books → Wild Cards/Gems 
    • Magic Coins → Gold
    • Elite Wild Cards → Gems
  • Card upgrades now focus on the core resources: Cards, Gold, and Wild Cards with Gems, as an optional shortcut.
  • Level 16 is being added for players who’ve already maxed out their cards.
  • Ranked battles will remain capped at Level 15 until May 2026
  • Upgrade costs have been adjusted for smoother level progression

DON’T FORGET

Remember, progression changes, including Level 16, aren’t the only thing coming to Clash Royale with our final update of the year…something completely new and heroic will be added in December with our new form, so stay tuned! Sneak peeks start next week.

We’re always looking for ways to best serve our community, especially when it comes to big changes in the game, so please let us know what you think in the thread below. We're here to listen and to answer as many questions as possible!

\*Please note that all conversions are subject to change.*

See you in the Arena,

  • Level 16 is here 😭😭 now all that’s missing is 3 evo slots 💔

    "our data tells us players want more evo slots"

    b-but it's because players have been evolving their cards, mr. clasher.

    Well players want more evos so they definitely want more evo slots

    Probably Supercell’s logic

    And yet somehow it was way worse than this lol

  • Greedycel made $71,000,000 this MONTH btw

    The plan has always been to milk the game as much as possible before leaving it out to die. Jynxzi quadrupling their earnings didn't change their goals and just made them foam even more from seeing how many new players they can exploit

    Now you can buy your cards with money. So they'll make even more money.

  • Can't wait to face level 16 evo mega knight!

    17 with chef.......

    17 mirrored
    19 with chef by the end

    Getting closer and closer to those stupid youtube shorts clips with a skull emoji

    Oh no my lvl 15 card are gonna cry oh shit most of them are 14

    18 with mirror + chef

  • Anyone who spent money on this game got absolutely screwed over

  • 1 step forward and then like 3 big step backwards. The removal of EWC as a whole was nice but then lvl 16 surely. And then somehow people will stick by the game

    They say "that's it, im quitting" every update but then never do so

    i mean u have people who are vocal about it, they prob did. But the amount of people who quit vs the amount of people who continue to stay despite it s much larger

    I did quit. I just came back to this

  • In 3 and a half years EWC will be re-implemented for level 17

    This game isn’t lasting 3 more years at this rate. They’re lucky Jynxzi revived it. They made $70 million last month and decided to get more greedy lol.

  • Lvl 16 is here..

  • There is nothing confusing about the EWC system, removing it after introducing it is lame af

    With EWC you could max a champion and legendary MUCH MUCH EASIER than with this new rework. It'll now be impossible to max champions and legendary cards as a ftp. They removed them cause it was just as easy to go from lvl 14 to lvl 15 for a common or a champion and they realized that.

    And didn't they say Elite lvl 15 was max the last update, like they wouldn't be going beyond that ?

    I’m not mad about, it wasn’t confusing it but it was insanely hard to actually get EWC

    It wasn't hard. It was unfair. If you had a fully maxed deck and were a halfway decent player, it was easy to max the ewcs every season. If you didn't have a maxed deck, it was nearly impossible. Because level imbalance is the stupidest part of this game, which supercell keeps perpetuating, because it's apparently what makes people come back

    It's what makes them money*

    They should’ve just fixed the system instead of adding a whole new level and crashing the entire game economy

    it was a stupid system from start to end

    Exactly and all those resources spent TO GET EWC FOR WHAT

    It would be confusing to add level 16 without screwing around with the current EWC system. So it needs to be totally changed.

    They could just not introduce lv16

  • When will level 100 be released?

    By 2026 at this point

  • “Add more progression” ❌ Make more money ✅

    Better yet, we’re gonna remove progression.

    Got back into this game because progression was a significant improvement from the grind it was when I first fell off around 2017-2018, but now I’m questioning if it’s time to quit once more with how ridiculous it’s gotten.

    Progression indeed got slowly easier over time especially when books and wildcards and all that stuff came out now it seems since last year they’ve been trying to make it harder again

  • Season shop where

    you really think they're gonna listen to the community 🤦

  • Ooooh now I get why they ONLY removed the gem shop offer.
    If you have a champion at level 14 right now you need to get it to level 15 before this update drops otherwise you'll need to get another 26 cumulative champion cards.

    On the other hand if you have it at 15 it'll just stay at level 15.
    So by removing the EWC gem offer from the shop (and trophy road) if you don't want to collect another 26 champion cards, which btw are literally impossible to get because why wouldn't they be. Your only choice is to buy 50k ewc (that is assuming you don't have nearly enough to upgrade the card within the next 2 weeks).

    Oh boy I can't wait for the update to drop and for there to be the "max all offer" for 7500€!! :)

  • No more elite wild cards 🙂

    Level 16 ☹️

  • why remove books though? i understand magic coins since they are literally not obtainable anymore but books?????

    Exactly. Especially that the new level 15 and 16 requires even more cards. And aren't the books meant to be a "free" level upgrade? That's my only complaint in the change, it's even more grindy now

    They wanted a stupid excuse to get rid of them, Clash royale Is only a cash cow that feeds on it's popolarity to sustain itself. It's the same way Nintendo promotes its games through nostalgia and its branding

    I think they will replace books from 5-star drops to equivalent of L16 (or at least L15) card in wild cards, so it will always have value

    From a game design perspective it makes sense.

    You generally want people to use the items they get. This is true for an action game, rpg or yes, a mobile game with microtransactions. In some games they even place time limits so you have to use them.

    For clash royale they added these awesome magic items to make it exciting to get something from rare drops but it’s clear that people are hoarding them instead of using them because they have much greater value when used for the last level up. But that means you’re not using your cool item until much later and reduces the excitement level of getting one.

    That’s bad design. It’s not a problem with greed or being evil, just inexperience. They didn’t realize that people would heard them even though you can only supposedly have 1 in your inventory.

    Instead it makes far more sense to just give the equivalent wild cards base on your arena or king level. It doesn’t feel bad to get a large prize based on your level/arena and there is a clear increase in value from them prizes you receive as you climb.

    It’s sad that people are ignorant of game design and often just directly accuse companies of making any changes due to greediness when most of the time it’s usually incompetence and need to switch things that were badly designed.

    Then elite wild cards were also bad design and the level 15 limit is actually due a lack of foresight. These games are supposed to be designed so that the end game is basically infinite so that players always have some kind of reward that will progress them but they didn’t realize how hardcore players would be and they made the limits too small. They will need to continue to increase the limit as the game continues to grow and it’s frankly a bit ridiculous how people react since this is a simply a part of the growth of the game.

    It’s because you don’t need to grind the last level with books. 

    You get a book, so you hoard it until you can maximize the value and CR realized it made it too easy to get a max card. 

  • Lvl 16🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • I'm killing myself 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  • Level 16…..delete

  • All Progress that took so long to achieve… more or less gone. Level 16 is my final straw. Now I’m gone for good. Thank you for ruining the game more and more with every update. Worst developer team there is.. hope you will loose all profit

  • I hope the EU regulates you into oblivion.

    They will because it’s quite obvious what they are doing

  • Thank you so much Jynxzi for reviving the game, but now comes the inevitable death update that Supercell always releases.

    Why are we thanking him again? He revived the game at a time where the devs really needed to be humbled. And, look at that, now they’re just brave enough to drop level 16 like its any other monday.

  • "we coded 47 lvls into the game so we gonna use them all" ass decision

  • "evolution box" this can't go horribly. can it?

    I smell for it to be a luck-based mechanic

    probably very low odds to get as free to play, with some mechanic for it to give you shards of a specific evolution, instead of a regular shard to be used on anything

  • Anyone notice they mentioned nothing about the “gem rework update”? Because it doesn’t exist.

  • Wow, I am so much disappointed. I have no words to express my disappointment, all fun and games until I saw the wild card requirement for a single lvl 16 card.

    Well, time for me to take a break ✌🏻

    The new upgrade system is kinda good but they had to ruin it by adding level 16..

    Lvl 16 ruins the otherwise good changes

    I was more so focused on the 120k gold requirements

  • Adding level 16 and removing books in the same update is genuinely evil

  • These mfs removed the option of posting btw

  • My dissapointment is immessureable and my day is ruined.

  • My EWC storage is nearly maxed. Trying to figure out if its worth it to spend them now, or just get the gems... I already have 34k gems since I haven't had anything to spend them on... wish I could know in advance what the gem costs are gonna be

    Use ur ewc on legendaries and champions. Those are going to be a bottle neck like always to upgrade and whatever else you have left, just wait to get gems bc hopefully that’ll be the only thing that saves the game

  • Ah great. 

    So now when I max out a card, instead of a currency that I can use to upgrade more cards to max I get a useless currency for cosmetics making it even harder to actually progress.

    At this point just delete all features in the game and just have a PayPal link for whales to give you money, cause you clearly only care about milking them more than actually making this game a pleasant experience for people playing it.

    Yep, people are ignoring that part 😭 I've been getting ewc pre easily cos I have lots of level 14s

  • Can a SINGLE SOUL who falls under their statistics of enjoying card levels please reply to me

  • “Ranked battles will remain capped at level 15 until may 2026” Only saving grace from this

  • you laugh you go to hell

  • So it's best to use ewc on a champion?

    Probably. Since Champions are just so painful to level up. Let alone 11 to 14

    Bro i just spent 50k on cannon 😭 

  • is this real??

    This is from the official account my friend. Level 16 is real.

    yes, confirmed on twitter as well

  • Good joke, but it's not April Fools, Supercell...

  • Ok, thanks, I wanted to delete the game for a while now and you just made it easier, 10/10 update

  • WE HATE SUPERCELL

  • Yep, it’s time to uninstall

  • Literally I did not see anything talking about how gems will be redistributed and reworked, what are they used for now?

    You can buy the cards you need instead if waiting if they appear in chests. 

  • LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣 (I'm so glad i haven't spent a dime in this game)

  • Level 16, I'm out, it was fun while it lasted...

  • Use your magic coins if you still have them unless you are King Level 15! You get more value.

    New gold requirements for lv14-15 is dropped to 90k and 13-14 is 60k so you should actually save if king 14 too and at king 13 it doesn’t matter

    Should we use up our wild cards or save them?

    Regular? Save because costs will be cheaper to Lv 1-14 after the update. Elite? Unsure because we don’t know how generous the exchange will be for gems

  • Ok wait, if my very quick eyeball test math is there it almost looks like it’s easier or the same to get a level 16 as it was to get a 15

    Looks like legendaries and champions will be more difficult especially without books, but epic and below should be easier. Overall would be great changes to the leveling system but adding lvl 16 and removing books overshadows any good changes in this update

  • History repeats itself 🥀

  • had the speed trying not to laugh gif in my head the moment I skimmed and see "level 16"

  • A downdate as usual, no new content here

  • I fell to my knees in whole foods.

  • You know it’s really hard to believe no one has made a post after this massive update…

  • The game was made by passionate devs. And now its being managed by loser business majors and marketting specialists. Hope you guys get cyberbullied relentlessly for this. 

  • This has actually made me consider deleating the game. I didn't think that was possible. Kudos.

  • Deleted the game, had good progress on my account all for nothing now.

  • A lot of people are understandably talking about level 16 as it’s a huge deal.

    However no one even seemed to notice that we will be getting something “heroic” and the “biggest part of the update” with a mysterious image, highly doubt this is just some new card or gamemode. Who knows what they pulled here? A new “hero” rarity?

    A new card rarity? I hope not

    It kinda looks like a badge. Probably related to trophy road/ranked or a new gamemode

  • Why are you even asking our opinion at this point? Just continue cash grabbing and end like Squad Busters

  • Is level 16 princess tower coming too? cause they didn’t mention that anywhere

  • Am I crazy to think that this is a great update. Elitle Wild Cards were pointless and now it is much easier to progress. You need 200 Epics to upgrade to lvl 14 right now. After the update you only need 180 to upgrade to lvl 16. IMO this is great. And if the gem shop for cards is well priced I only see improvements in the progression category.

    The update is only bad for lvl 15 players. Since you think it’s a good update I have to assume you are not in the level 15 boat.  

  • You guys are the worst company ever. I am going to be quitting the game and never spending another dollar on you guys. You guys do not care about your players at all and of course supercell knows how to ruin their game at its peak of popularity. supercell you guys are a joke.

  • Wow what a joke of a game

    It’s honestly pathetic

  • Say goodbye to clan donations. It used to be free donations for level 14 cards and up. I guarantee it will only be free if you are at Level 16 now

  • "if you’re King Tower Level 14 and you’ve invested 25,000 Elite Wild Cards into a Common Card, such as your Level 14 Knight, your Knight will have 2,750 card copies applied to its progress when the update drops."

    so theyre giving us basically 1/10th of the value 😭😭🙏

    holy hell they had it all, all they had to do was just not mess up

  • Cards are straight p2w if reading correctly? I can buy whatever card I want with gems? No need for luck via chest or whatever?

  • just say you removed EWC to keep introducing new levels every year

  • nice just as i used to epic books to upgrade random cards because who cares lvl 15 is the last one hiihii

  • Should we use our elite wild cards or save them?

    I don’t know for sure but I guess the best thing to do is spend al the remaining EWC on champions/legendarys

  • uninstalled, also just set my balls on fire

  • Anyone have a guess for what the ewc to gems conversion rate will be?

  • waiting for that update when we can buy evo slots for whole deck , price triples for unlocking new evo slot.

  • Another W for Merge Tactics only players

  • Supercell you are a geniune joke. I hope you know everyone who contributed to this change has no clue what their consumer wants in the slightest. Keep riding the peen of all the shareholders beggining for a increase in profits at the expense of your playerbase

  • This is so messed up clash

  • Games gone to shit. Was contemplating quitting and now i can do so in peace. Thank you CR for breaking my addiction!

  • Looking back you will realise that elite wild cards we're not that garbage after all. Because elite wild cards at least give you a freedom to use them on cards that you like and want at level 15. But going back to the cave man ages of progression being completely RNG, it will be insanely difficult to actually upgrade your deck.

  • Dear CR developers.

    When will this end? Once I upgrade my cards to lv16, who will guarantee that you won't just add lv17 the next day? You have removed any incentive to play the game and made progression feel like a never-ending treadmill.

    Worse yet, you have devalued our previous progress by making previous upgrades cost less, meaning newer players will close the gap faster. Why should I play today if I can play tomorrow and get double the rewards?

    Lv16 adds nothing gameplaywise, on the contrary, it takes away from gameplay as it limits the amount of decks a player can use competitively.

    If you think the playerbase will once again just sit back and take it, you are gravely mistaken. You've used up your rope.

    This will 100% kill the game.

  • Introducing a new level without refunding progression reduces everyone’s card levels down by 1 with no benefits.

    I feel in addition to reducing the cost of level 13 and 14, all level 15 cards should automatically receive progress to their equivalent card progress to level 16 after the cost transformation and reduction. Cards levels below 15 would also get cards equivalent to their old amount and exceed the previous max card limits.

    Obviously this will reduce the amount of money Supercell gets from spenders who want to max their cards immediately, but it would greatly reduce the strain and reward the hard work players have done to get some or most of their collection to level 15.

  • The update that no one asked for

  • NO ONE GONNA MENTION THE HEROIC ENTRY THATS GONNA "COMPLETELY CHANGE THE GAME"

  • After the November 2025 update (Level 16 + the new economy overhaul), the community is literally on fire. Progression became slower, key items like Magic Books and Coins disappeared, excess cards turned into cosmetics, and the entire update pushed the game deeper into pay-to-win.

    What’s shocking is that even payers are complaining — not just F2P players. Reddit, Discord, X, YouTubers… everyone is saying the same thing: “This update killed the game.”

    If Supercell doesn’t listen this time, November 2025 will be remembered as the real R.I.P moment of Clash Royale.

  • What happens to my lvl 15 cards ?? Will we get reimbursed the gold and cards we used previously? Or will we be scammed forever and ever?

    what do you mean? they stay level 15.

    thats what im saying, no way the ewcs used are just voided forever, thats literally months worth of work just gone

    i mean the posts say that level 15 cards remain level 15

    did none of you read anything?

  • This honestly doesn’t even look that bad. EWC were a completely horrible addition and made progression expensive or slow. The numbers for the upgrades look way easier. Need less for epic lvl 16 than you did for epic lvl 14. As long as they don’t nerf abundance of wild cards

    what about campions and legendaries?

  • They better compensate people who upgraded to level 15 because wtf. Current level 15 is more difficult than getting new level 15+16. Imaging grinding to get level 15 or spending $7, and now that means nothing, and now you're lower level, and your "investment" was a scam. Either keep the current system or all of your current level 15 cards become level 16 when the update drops.

    It really hurts as a f2p player too. I have like 4 level 15 cards, and currently halfway on upgrading Lightning to 15

    They should really compensate more. 50k cards just for a single upgrade is obnoxious enough

  • COC is releasing TH18. We want level 18 too.

  • Worst update. I quit.

  • nobody wanted this

  • "You’ll no longer need to grind daily rewards hoping for those missing cards — now, you can buy exactly what you need with Gems!"
    So making this even more pay-to-win?

  • i don’t even know how to feel

  • Should I upgrade my cards to lvl 14 or just wait until the requirement to lvl 14 is lower? I guess the update is better but they decided to still add lvl 16 🫩🫩

  • So I pushed to 10k, now I have to push to 12k against a bunch of P2W level 16 players. The other issue is that after the “overflow” period of buying the cards you want from the EWC they’re gonna give back, there’s no way to upgrade a deck without luck anymore. Say I get a deck to level 15 and want to get it to 16, at least with EWC I could choose what card I want to spend them on. Now without a shop and with lucky chests, I just have to hope I get the actual cards I want to upgrade?

  • Is the gold cap gone ?

  • dont add lvl 16 and this turns into a good update

    add skins like the chinese server and you'll make tons of money anyway

  • does it make sense to unbox all my diamond pass rewards now or after the update? it shouldnt make a difference right

  • atleast (hopefully) evos will be easier to get as f2p😭🥀

    "Evolution Boxes"

    It could either be the two;

    • Choose an evo of choice (Mostly gonna be shards)

      • Or. Basically lucky drops
  • Should we spend our EWC before the update ?

  • 2v2 league would have been such an amazing update. Instead we kill the game with greed and lies

  • Should I spend my 70k ewc and book of books?

  • How much will this affect free to play players?

    More grinding? Since we lose access to book of cards now

  • Level 16 is a horrible idea. The player base isn’t asking for this…

  • it was easy to simply… not add level 16?

  • what is the conversion rate of elite wild cards / wild cards to gems? i have saved A LOT of them, is it worth to upgrade my cards or keep them?

    Greedy cell will just make the worst conversion rate possible to gems, they did not give any mercy to me whenever they released level 14. Just spend your ewc on legendaries and champions as they look like they’re going to be a major bottle neck still with increasing the amount you need for both as well as the gold.

  • This is officially it for me. Can’t believe I spent so much money on this game. Playing for ranks and badges was so fun, especially when I could get my cards maxed easy (lvl 14), had to spend money to keep up at lvl 15, now we get a level 16 in half a year- surely not nearly enough time to get all my 15s up to 16 not even close.

    I’m not sure if they actually think this is what people want or if it’s just an excuse for more $, but players like myself who made it to the top, play ranked in the top 10k don’t want another level or “more progression” to grind out. The issue is the players stuck below who can’t even get a chance to play ranked because their card levels are too low- guess what? this doesn’t fix it. Sure it’s easier to get to level 14 now but you add a whole new level???? That makes progression to the top harder!! I mean wtf are we doing.

    Loved this game so much but almost happy this forces my hand to do something better with my life

    Rant over

  • the only way this will pass at all positively is if they refund all the cards spent on what they now reduced, this affects the players that have been playing for a while the most, and im 100% sure they wont do this, since it'd mean old players actually get rewarded instead of getting screwed over

  • Whatever is coming in December better be good, if the game wants me to return at some point in time lol

  • I will never reach max level now, might aswell uninstall. Thanks for nothing Supercell

  • does the lvl 15s now get converted to gems or nah

  • upgrading champions will be hell of a mess

  • Give us the season shop back and we won't even mind lvl 16, tbh

  • I’m concerned about the Gold cost of this update, it costs 120k gold to upgrade a card to 16, thats 720,000 gold per deck if want it maxed out

  • I have 4M gold, 15k gems, 4 million Gold, Maxed & overflowing Books, 350k Elite Wild Cards, Magic Coins, Lots of Level 14 cards and level 13 Champions, should I upgrade my cards now or wait?

  • 2v2 league is actually something I was waiting for ironically it’s in an update that isn’t the best

  • Will level 14 card holders (who upgraded with old numbers of cards) get extra cards and refunded gold?

  • Everybody move to Classic 1v1 duels ONLY. If everyone would only play classic 1v1 supercell would understand that we hate the concept of card levels

  • You have not learned anything from Squad Busters do you.

    No 1 Rule of Game Devs.

    LISTEN TO YOUR COMMUNITY. THEYRE THE ONES WHO KEEPS YPU ALIVE

  • is it best to keep your books? or use them now?

  • God i hate this game (i will never quit)

  • A lot of items will convert into gold with this update. But will they change the gold cap, because I am currently at 5M and there’s nothing I can spend the gold on (nor bragging, Ive been playing a looong time and have all cards at min 14, except some of the Champions).

  • Bruh Supercell whyyyyyyy 😭😭

    COSMETICS being the only thing you can get with overflow cards is insane. Just say you hate f2p and go.

  • Dead game in a month

  • You guys have no shame, again. As I already said every time you increased max level: 

    Making people pay several times for the same thing has a name: SCAM.

  • Why don’t you take the game out back and shoot it

  • I had just started enjoying the game with my two max decks, which took me a lot of time and money to get. Now they've released level 16. I'm sorry, but this sucks.

  • What about the 150$ I’ve spent on level 15 cards where do those go?

  • They keep moving the finish line and it's pissing me off. First it was adding level 14, then 15 with EWC, then Evos. Every time I get close to having a deck maxed, they move where "max" actually is. I have finally gotten to the point where I have enough level 14 cards that I am collecting EWC at a reasonable rate to finally have a maxed deck with some Evos I have obtained via weekly events and such. Annnnnnd the jokes on me. Another level of cards to grind through, and no more EWC, which is being conveniently replaced with a "new" currency that is neither helpful nor valuable whatsoever.

  • Ikd supercell, feels like the game is going to die after this update. Lvl 16 isn't the problem, but 2 champs in 1 deck..., hero characters..., feels awful, i really love the game but... I hate to see it die again
