Rune Giant Launches With the Runic Mountain Season
Season 67 introduced Rune Giant, a 4-Elixir Epic giant that enchants nearby troops to deal bonus damage, free to claim from the shop for the season's opening weeks.
Clash Royale opened 2025 with a new card: Rune Giant, the game's 117th, arriving alongside the Runic Mountain season on January 6.
The 4-Elixir Epic acts as a support tank — she enchants up to two nearby troops at a time, granting them bonus damage on every third attack. That made her a natural pairing for swarm and cycle decks rather than a traditional win condition.
Supercell made the card free in the shop through January 17, after which it entered normal chest and shop rotation from Jungle Arena (Arena 9). The card needed emergency attention almost immediately: a late-January optional update shipped a balance change to rein it in.
