Clash Royale has finally introduced a major upgrade for the Inferno Dragon, delivering its long-awaited Evolution form nearly a decade after its initial release. The fiery Legendary card receives a substantial power boost, celebrated through a creative collaboration with Finnish comedian Ismo Leikola for its official reveal.

Entertaining Negotiation Takes Center Stage

Marking nine years since its debut, the Inferno Dragon stars in a fresh Clash Royale promotional trailer. Leikola plays the dragon's eccentric talent agent, humorously negotiating for his client's Hollywood ambitions while the creature dreams of stardom beyond battlefield duties.

The gameplay implications are significant - while the original Inferno Dragon's damage resets when switching targets, its evolved counterpart maintains its growing damage output for substantially improved battlefield performance.

Inferno Dragon Evolution Ignites New Season

The "How to Evolve Your Dragon!" season introduces this transformation alongside the returning 2v2 League mode. Players can team up with friends or random partners to climb competition ranks.

Progression rewards start from Arena 7, offering valuable resources including Lumberjack Evolution Shards, Epic Books of Cards, and exclusive cosmetic items across multiple Crown Chase events.

A variety of special game modes will showcase the new Evolution mechanics throughout June and early July:

• Inferno Dragon Evolution Draft (June 2-9)
• Inferno Dragon Challenge (June 6-9)
• Evolution Mayhem with expanded deck options (June 9-16)
• Magical Trio (June 16-23)
• 4 Card Showdown (June 23-30)
• Evolution Bonanza permitting extensive deck customization (June 30-July 7)

The update is now available through the Google Play Store. For additional gaming updates, see our coverage of Marvel Contest of Champions' Fantastic Four: First Steps expansion.
