Story Highlights

Supercell brought in a competitive twist to Clash Royale with Season 89 titled King vs King. The November season introduced two new Evolutions, Giant Evolution and Mirror Evolution, alongside new game modes, which will be discussed in the events article. Here’s everything you need to know about Clash Royale Season 89 King vs King.

Clash Royale Season 89 “King vs King” Overview

New Evolution: Giant

Season 89 introduces Giant Evolution, the main Evolution of the season. The familiar building-targeting tank gets a new ability called Rage Trail, which activates when his HP drops to 50%.

Once activated, Giant starts leaving Rage areas behind him, boosting troops that follow his path, which grow larger with every attack he makes. The Rage areas appear every 1.5 seconds and last for the same duration. They spawn around 2.5 tiles behind Giant, although the area they cover depends on how many attacks he has made after activating the ability.

The Rage radius starts at two tiles and increases with each attack, reaching a maximum of 3.5 tiles after three attacks. Giant Evolution requires one cycle, meaning every second Giant deployment will be evolved. You can unlock Giant Evolution through the first milestone of Premium Pass Royale.

New Evolution: Mirror

The second Evolution arriving this season is Mirror Evolution, which gives the card a new way to copy your opponent’s nightmares. Its ability, called Evolved Double, works much like the regular Mirror but adds Evolution to the card it copies.

Evolved Mirror copies the last card you played, but if that card has an Evolution, it will summon its evolved version instead. The interesting part is that the copied card does not need to be in an Evolution Slot or even unlocked in your collection. As long as an Evolution exists for that card, Evolved Mirror can activate it.

If the card you copy does not have an Evolution, Mirror works as usual, spawning the same card one level higher. Mirror Evolution requires two cycles, meaning every third Mirror deployment will be evolved. You can unlock it using Wild Shards or by playing the King of Cards event and collecting tokens in the Season Shop.

Free and Diamond Pass Royale Overview

Season 89 continues Clash Royale’s two-track Pass Royale system, splitting rewards between the Free Pass and Diamond Pass depending on progression and Arena level.

For players below Arena 15, the Free Pass continues to focus on progression rewards such as Gold, Wild Cards, Boost Potions, and Lucky Chests. Once you reach Arena 15, the Diamond Pass unlocks premium cosmetics, seasonal rewards, and access to the main Evolution of the season.

Giant Evolution will be available as the main reward in the first milestone of Premium Pass Royale. Players can choose between 6 Giant Evolution Shards, 200 Hero Coins, 7,500 Common Wild Cards, or 15 Legendary Wild Cards. You can also unlock Giant Evolution using Wild Shards.

The boosted cards will change throughout the season, with Giant and Mirror remaining boosted from November 2 to December 7. From November 9 to 16, the boosted cards will be Battle Ram, Hog Rider, Mortar, Minion Giant, and Goblin Barrel. This will be followed by Royal Hogs, Three Musketeers, Royal Giant, and Ram Rider from November 16 to 23.

Between November 23 and 30, players can use boosted Skeleton Barrel, Golem, Electro Giant, and Lava Hound, while the final week, running from November 30 to December 7, features X-Bow, Miner, Graveyard, and Goblin Drill.
