Clash Royale April Patch Notes
TROPHY ROAD
The Clash Royale 1v1 Ladder gets a new rewards system that will help you progress through the Arenas and collect rewards more often. You will also be able to protect the trophies through a Trophy Gate – once you reach the bottom of the current Arena, you cannot drop below that Arena’s Trophy Gate, explained the Clash Royale team, adding an example:
Once you hit 4000 Trophies, you will not drop below Legendary Arena’s Trophy Gate of 4000, but you can drop through League rankings.
You will also get to activate Chest Speed Up Boosts that will last for 24 hours to unlock the Arena Chests more often.
Every Season, players will get new rewards. The Trophy Road progression will be reset from 4000+, explained the Clash Royale team:
This means that each Season you will be able to earn new rewards throughout! Because of this, we are removing the League Chest, allowing you to instead earn rewards as you progress through a Season.
