With the new season of Clash Royale kicking off on September 2nd, Supercell has announced the upcoming Evolutions, which will target Pekka and Mega Knight.
Both Evolutions will only introduce a new ability for these cards without touching the base stats. For Pekka, the developers have announced a healing sword, which allows her to gain 12.5% overheal after scoring a kill. The overheal is capped at 50%.
Pekka’s Evolution will allow her to remain strong against cards that deploy in a high number of units like Barbarians. However, even with the overheal, it is hard to believe Pekka can survive Skeleton Army, which is its biggest nemesis. But, the giant warrior will probably find success against the Goblin Gang.
On the other hand, Mega Knight will get an enhancement on his punches. The Evolution gives Mega Knight an Uppercut ability that not only deals damage to the opponents with every hit but also knocks them back by four tiles.
So, Mega Knight will now turn into a great counter for Giant and any of its better variations. The fat warrior can now even deny rushing units like Ram Rider with his uppercuts, sending them back before they can reach the player’s crown tower.
The best part about Mega Knight’s uppercut, however, is the fact that four tiles are enough for him to perform his jump attack too. So, if there is one enemy in his radius he can send them back by uppercut and then jump over them for another deadly attack. These two moves are enough to wipe a Hog Rider from the battlefield.
The Evolutions for both Mega Knight and Pekka will feature a Cycle of 1, which means the player only needs to deploy them once to get the evolved version next time.
Pekka Evolution will be released on September 2nd with the launch of the new season. Mega Knight Evolution, on the other hand, will be released throughout the season.
