Clash Royale cards list: all 127 cards in release order

The table lists every card that is in the Clash Royale collection on 7 November 2026, oldest first. Cards that arrived on the same day are sorted by unlock arena. Rarity, Elixir cost, type, release date and unlock arena come from the card infoboxes and the Card Overviews page of the Clash Royale Fandom wiki, and we checked the newest cards against Supercell's posts. The Arena column is the number of the Trophy Road arena where the card unlocks today (0 is Training Camp); the arena table further down gives the names and trophies.

The 42 cards dated 4 January 2016 are from the iOS soft launch; the global launch followed on 2 March 2016, so the six cards of 29 February 2016 were there for most players from day one. For Minion Giant we use Supercell's season start, 7 September 2026; the Fandom infobox says 5 September.

What is the newest Clash Royale card?

The newest Clash Royale card is Minion Giant, a 4-Elixir Rare troop released on 7 September 2026 with the Minion Academy season. Supercell describes it as a flying win condition that targets buildings and spits toxin from range. It unlocks at Arena 5, Builder's Workshop. Before it came Ronin, a 5-Elixir Legendary swordsman from 6 July 2026 who reflects a melee attack back at his attacker every few seconds.

Nothing new has joined the collection since Minion Giant. The Shocktober season from 5 October 2026 brought Hero Electro Wizard and the Electro Giant Evolution, and the King vs. King season announced on 27 October 2026 brings the Giant and Mirror Evolutions. Neither is a new card: an Evolution or Hero is an upgrade for a card you already own. Our Clash Royale Evolutions list and Heroes list track those releases.

How many cards are in Clash Royale in 2026?

There are 127 cards in Clash Royale on 7 November 2026. 123 of them go into the eight slots of a battle deck; the other 4 are Tower Troops, which sit on your Crown Towers and fill a separate slot. A count of 123 means deck cards only.

Epic is the biggest rarity with 34 cards, and 12 of the 21 spells are Epic. Champions are all troops, and every Champion has an active ability that costs 1 to 3 extra Elixir. The four Tower Troops are Tower Princess (Common), Cannoneer (Epic), Dagger Duchess (Legendary) and Royal Chef (Legendary). Rarity decides how many levels a card has: Common cards run from Level 1, Rare from Level 3, Epic from Level 6, Legendary from Level 9 and Champion from Level 11, all up to Level 16. See the card levels guide and the card types guide.

Clash Royale card release dates by year

Clash Royale added most of its cards in the first two years. 2016 alone accounts for 66 of the 127 cards: 42 at the soft launch and 24 more in the updates and two-weekly card releases that followed. From 2019 the pace slowed to a few cards a year, and the Champion rarity, introduced in 2021, took over part of the new releases.

The slowest stretch was 2021 to 2023, with 9 new cards in three years, six of them Champions. 2024 was the busiest year since 2018: Goblin Queen's Journey launched on 17 June 2024 with three Goblin cards, and Tower Troops became a card type, starting with the Tower Princess on 13 December 2023 and followed by Cannoneer, Dagger Duchess and Royal Chef. In 2026 the count is two so far, Ronin and Minion Giant.

Firsts: the first new Legendaries were Princess and Ice Wizard on 29 February 2016, the first Champions were Golden Knight, Skeleton King and Archer Queen on 27 October 2021, and the first Tower Troop after the Tower Princess was Cannoneer on 1 January 2024.

Which arena unlocks each Clash Royale card?

Cards unlock on Trophy Road from Training Camp up to Arena 18, Silent Sanctuary, at 6,500 trophies. The Trophy Road continues to Arena 32, Spirit Square, at 13,500 to 14,000 trophies, but no arena above Silent Sanctuary unlocks a new card. Rarities open in steps: Epic cards from Arena 6, P.E.K.K.A.'s Playhouse, Legendary cards from Arena 11, Electro Valley, and Champions from Arena 16, Executioner's Kitchen.

Arena numbers follow the current Trophy Road on the Fandom Arenas page. Supercell's posts confirm the arenas of the five Goblin Queen's Journey cards and of Royal Chef (Arena 13). A new card can reach your collection before its arena through its launch event or Pass Royale, as Minion Giant and Ronin did.

Clash Royale cards by Elixir cost

The average fixed Elixir cost of the 121 deck cards with a set cost is 3.98. 4 Elixir is the most common cost with 35 cards. Only two cards cost more than 7: Golem at 8 and Three Musketeers at 9. Two cards have no fixed cost: Mirror costs one more than the last card you played, and Spirit Empress costs 3 on the ground or 6 in her flying form, depending on your Elixir when you play her.

Hero abilities cost extra Elixir on top of the card. Base costs also change over time: the May 2025 update cut the Goblin Hut to 4 Elixir from 5, and the Fandom wiki counts 23 cards whose cost has changed since launch. The 2026 balance changes post lists every buff and nerf this year.

Clash Royale cards that are not in the list

These cards existed in Clash Royale but are not among the 127 you can collect today.

Merge Tactics and the C.H.A.O.S modes change how existing cards play but add nothing to your collection. Evolutions and Heroes are not separate cards either: Evolved Knight and Hero Knight are both the Knight card.

What the card list means for a Clash Royale account

• A complete collection is 127 cards. Champions are the last to complete because they unlock from Arena 16.
• Every card now goes up to Level 16; the upgrade cost guide lists the Gold and cards per level.
• Copies of a maxed card turn into other resources; see the guide to crystals and excess cards.

Supercell does not publish a single list of release dates; dates before 2023 rely on the Fandom wiki. The official Clash Royale API needs a developer key, so we did not use it. Event-only cards are named but not counted.
