1. Dark History(Source: Your History textbook)
Clash Royale was first soft-launched on iOS on January 4, 2016, exclusively to eight select countries: Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, and New Zealand. Unfortunately, I lived in the United States but was still able to download Clash Royale from the Canadian app store by changing my location.
2. They charged to battle.
making it realistic. You had to pay Gold to battle multiplayer or friendly battles. This severely limited playing as it meant that you would have to spend your Gold on battles, rather than saving them for upgrades.
3. Simplicity back then.
January 11, 2016 – At this early stage of the game, the Prince, Witch, and Goblin Barrel were considered the best cards in the game and were immediately nerfed by end of the first week the game was launched.

4. The Best Card:
The Freeze Spell was the best card in the game by far due to its 4-tile radius and long duration. So it received a much-needed nerf, decreasing its radius to 3 tiles. Funny thing is, even after this big nerf, the Freeze Spell was still the best card in the game for months.
5. The Most feared card:
The X-Bow was the most hated card in the game. It was a nightmare for new players to deal with as it was a highly reactive card. It was a super strong card as it only took 3 seconds to deploy and target and had lots of Hit Points and also an insane 13-tile range. So this card received a 15% HP decrease and was limited to only targeting ground units. Yes, the X-Bow was used to also target air units.
6. Release Date(You probably don’t wanna know but it’s my blog):
March 2, 2016 – The day Clash Royale was released globally on iOS and Android.
