The Clash Royale balance changes for November 17, 2023 are an emergency patch for the game. The card Little Prince has been dominating the meta, which is why it has now received a nerf. This is a bit of a surprise since the new champion was already slightly nerfed, and developer SuperCell only four days ago on November 13 put out a general balance update that impacted four cards. Here is list of nerfs made to Little Prince as part of the balance changes to Clash Royale for iOS and Android.
What are the Clash Royale balance changes for November 17?
The following are the balance changes for the Little Prince champion for Clash Royale on November 17:
- Little Prince – Royal Rescue Pushback Range: 3.5 tiles down to 2.5 tiles
- Little Prince – Speedup 1: 2 hits up to 3 hits
- Little Prince – Speedup 2: 4 hits up to 6 hits
Overall, this will make it harder for Little Prince to increase his firing rate for his ranged attack, which is the hallmark for the character. Supercell stated that the champion needed the nerf, in a post on Twitter, because his win-rate was still too high.
While some players have commented that they understand the nerf, other fans are not pleased. A few of the replies to the Twitter post with a higher number of likes, along with some responses in the Clash Royale Reddit, state that this is a pattern for Supercell. They say the developer has a habit of releasing a character that’s overpowered so that many people purchase it, but then a few weeks later they decide to nerf it.
Whether or not this is intentional, we recommend waiting for some balance updates for any new champion after it’s released to see what you’re really paying for.
