Clash Royale is gearing up for Season 50 and naturally, a new set of balance changes will be arriving in the game. We will also see the Knight Evolution and a new set of events.

The Clash Royale meta has undergone a significant transformation after the June update. Needless to say, Card Evolution has influenced the meta to a big degree. With that in mind, you may see certain evolved cards be included in the balance changes alongside other popular cards.

Thanks to RoyaleAPI, we have a look at the Season 50 balance changes that will be introduced to Clash Royale in August.
