- Leaks show 3, 4, and 5-Elixir Heroic cards, including one named Gigante.
- Heroic system rumored to add extra abilities without replacing current evolutions.
- Update ties into Level 16 progression overhaul expected in the November 2025 update.
New leaks are doing the rounds again, this time showing what players believe to be the first look at the upcoming Heroic system in Clash Royale. The image is blurry, and nothing is confirmed, but the cards shown appear to have a brand-new Golden theme.
New golden-themed Heroic cards are to be expected in Clash Royale, as per leaks
From what the leaks have shown by CR Leaks Discord, there are two cards here: one is a 3x Elixir card, and the other one, 4. The names for both aren’t shared. However, we do notice a “Gigante“ in the second slide, which is a 5-Elixir Heroic card.
According to early speculation, the Heroic feature works similarly to evolutions, but without replacing or interfering with them. Instead of changing a card into an evolved form, this new system is rumored to simply add an extra ability to the base unit.
Do note that there are no gameplay sneak peeks yet, so everything right now is based purely on leaks, so take it with a pinch of salt. At the same time, if these cards indeed turn up to be strong cards, the indicator of Level 16 in them also shows that training will be similar to our regular cards.

This will be part of the mammoth November 2025 update, which is set to bring a major progression overhaul. With Elite Levels removed, Level 16 becomes the new long-term milestone for max players. So with these new cards, there’s a lot of gameplay to be discovered.
