Clash Royale continues to captivate players with frequent updates, including the introduction of new cards and evolutions. As Season 70 rolls in, players will be able to unlock an exciting evolution for the Executioner, starting April 7. This new addition offers players a chance to experience a powerful evolved card.
The Evolved Executioner stands out as one of the most formidable evolutions currently available in Clash Royale. It provides excellent support for heavy cards and proves invaluable in halting various offensive pushes. The question now arises: what sets this card apart, and which decks make the best use of its unique abilities? Let’s dive in.
Utilizing the Evolved Executioner in Clash Royale
With an elixir cost of five and an evo cycle of one, the Evolved Executioner can be deployed frequently in battle. Described in-game with the tagline: ‘That’s not an axe… This is an axe. Evolved Executioner’s axe deals more damage to enemies in close quarters and pushes them back.’, this card significantly enhances tactical gameplay.
On the attack, the Evolved Executioner’s axe inflicts substantial damage on enemies within close range and knocks them back by approximately two tiles. Troops positioned within 3.5 tiles suffer almost double the standard damage, making the Evolved Executioner an effective tool for crowd control and defense against threats like Elite Barbarians, Hog Rider, and Ram Rider. Notably, its knock-back ability also impacts airborne units, rendering it a reliable counter against the Balloon.
However, it’s important to note that while it excels at dealing with smaller troops, larger units like the Giant or Lava Hound are not susceptible to knock-back but will still incur additional close-range damage. Interestingly, upon the spawning of Lava Pups, the Evolved Executioner can easily eliminate them with a single hit.
