With the conclusion of Clash Royale’s 9th Birthday Season, players can now dive into the new season titled A Tale of Thieves. This latest chapter introduces a series of weekly events, with exciting new features to explore. Kicking things off is the highly anticipated Executioner Evolution Draft, complete with an upgraded card to enhance gameplay.
As typical with draft events, players will select four cards from a set of pairs, while any cards they opt not to choose will be added to their opponent’s deck. Notably, one participant will gain access to the newly introduced Evolved Executioner, significantly altering the dynamics of gameplay. Instead of the usual seasonal tokens, players will collect crowns, allowing them to progress through the Free Pass rewards. Here’s an in-depth look at how the Executioner Evolution Draft works in Clash Royale and strategies to achieve victory.
Overview of Clash Royale’s Executioner Evolution Draft Event
The Executioner Evolution Draft is scheduled to run from April 7 to April 14, introducing the impressive Evo Executioner into the card roster, bringing the total number of evolved cards to 31. While the complete deck may remain a mystery, strategic card selection will play a crucial role in securing match wins.
The Evolved Executioner retains its base stats, including health and attack speed, but stands out due to its enhanced axe. Once evolved, this formidable unit can strike through multiple enemies in close proximity, making it an excellent counter against swarms, air units, and structures alike.
Winning Strategies for the Executioner Evo Draft
- Build a Low-Cost Deck: Prioritize keeping your deck cost-effective by balancing low-cost and medium-cost cards. Ideally, choose two low-cost and two medium (or high) elixir cards to allow for faster cycling during gameplay.
- Select the Evo Executioner: If presented with the opportunity, opting for the Evo Executioner is highly recommended since it provides a tactical advantage. However, remember that effective usage is key; deploy it strategically against groups of enemies, aerial troops, or during pushes towards enemy towers.
- Include Versatile Cards: Consider selecting valuable cards such as Executioner, Inferno Dragon, Princess, Electro Wizard, Elixir Golem, Miner, and Royal Recruits when available. Each of these offers significant utility within the draft format.
- Prioritize Ranged Units: When faced with the choice between a ranged troop and an air-targeting unit, opt for the ranged troop. They provide the versatility to attack both ground and air units while contributing to tower damage.
As you secure victories, you will accumulate crowns instead of traditional tokens. These crowns will directly contribute to unlocking rewards in the Free Pass section of Pass Royale, particularly since the Seasonal Shop is currently closed, making this your primary route for rewards.
