'Clash Royale' Updates: Massive Mini Pekka Nerf Confirmed, Awesome Buffs For Lumberjacks, Knights, Bowlers & More [VIDEO]
If there is one thing that mobile game developer Supercell is really great at, it is keeping in constant communication with fans. Just last Monday, the Clash Royale developer announced in a tweet that it was already working on several adjustments on the game's Trophy system.

While the game immediately went back online, the developer's tweaks on the title's Trophy system has proven once again that Supercell has been listening to its fans' requests. With the minor update on August 15 done, many fans are speculating that more changes to the game would be released very soon.
Which Units Will Be Nerfed?
Among the most prominent speculations about the upcoming Clash Royale update are several nerfs and buffs that players have been requesting for, the most notable of which involves the Mini Pekka, which many users of the game feel is currently overpowered.
True to form, leaks about the upcoming update point to Supercell nerfing the annoyingly OP unit by a very significant 7 percent health decrease. Doing this puts the unit in level with most other characters, and not just the universal tank of choice for many.
It's not just the Mini Pekka that will be nerfed, however, as Giants, Barbarians and Royale Giants are also rumored to be scheduled for a much-needed nerf. Miners are also said to receive a 3 percent damage reduction.
Which Units Will Be Buffed?
If the Clash Royale update leaks prove accurate, the game would soon witness a number of notable nerfs. However, this is balanced by a number of significant buffs as well. Among the rumored units who will receive a buff would be Knights, Poison Spells and Bowlers, who are allegedly set to receive a notable increase in both health and damage.
Apart from these units, Lumberjacks are also rumored to be scheduled for an attack speed buff.
When Will The Update Roll Out?
Previous rumors have pointed to a possible August 8 release date for the major Clash Royale update. However, the date has gone and passed, and no update happened. Considering the minor update initiated on Aug. 15, it is then possible that Supercell might be gearing up to implement a more significant change to the game by late August or early September.
