The Dagger Duchess is the latest Tower Troop to be added to Clash Royale. Here's everything we know about her stats and abilities, as well as how you can unlock her.
The Dagger Duchess is a Legendary-rarity Tower Troop who was introduced to Clash Royale in Season 58 (April 2024).
When it comes to abilities, there's no other Tower Troop like the Dagger Duchess as she, by far, offers players a unique style of protection when it comes to defending their Crown Towers. Her abilities enable you to instantly deal with low- to moderate-HP targets such as Goblins or Hog Riders.
However, the Dagger Duchess's effectiveness worsens over time if she is encountered by high-HP troops or is simply overwhelmed by enemies due to her charge-style attacks. That said, if you're using her, be sure to protect her at all times and if you're going against her, you can overpower her with constant attacks.
If you're interested in learning more about the Dagger Duchess, then you've come to the right place. We'll give you all the details.
Dagger Duchess Stats & Abilities
The Dagger Duchess is a single-target, long-range Tower Troop that can attack both air and ground units.
Compared to other Tower Troops such as the Cannoneer and the Tower Princess, she is capable of dealing more damage to enemies over a short, initial period of time and boasts a greater number of hitpoints (HP). This damage output is largely due to her rapid-fire rate.
However, these strong stats come at a cost. The Dagger Duchess has the unique ability where she needs to charge up over time to launch her fast-firing attacks. When fully charged, she fires 8 daggers in quick succession. If she is not charged up, she will slowly fire a single dagger at a time.
Here is an overview of the Dagger Duchess's stats in Clash Royale:
| Level | HP | Damage Per Dagger | Damage Per Second |
| 9 | 2,660 | 127 | 362 |
| 10 | 2,925 | 139 | 397 |
| 11 | 3,204 | 153 | 437 |
| 12 | 3,513 | 168 | 480 |
| 13 | 3,851 | 185 | 528 |
| 14 | 4,233 | 203 | 580 |
| 15 | 4,645 | 223 | 637 |
It's also useful to know that the Dagger Duchess takes 1.2 seconds to charge up a single dagger. In total, it takes about 9.6 seconds for her to be fully charged.
How To Unlock The Dagger Duchess In Clash Royale
The Dagger Duchess can be unlocked by reaching Arena 11, otherwise known as Electro Valley. You will need to earn at least 3,400 Trophies to reach this Arena. Once you've reached this Arena, you can finally earn her as a reward in Chests.
If you are only a beginner player and have not climbed high enough on the Trophy Road, then you should start winning as many matches as possible. Wins will secure you Trophies, which will help you advance through the multiple Arenas.
