Clash Royale Leak: Spirit Empress Set to Join as the Next Champion Card

Clash Royale appears to be gearing up for the release of a brand-new Champion card — the Spirit Empress. While Supercell has not officially confirmed the announcement yet, leaks and early content creator previews strongly suggest that the Spirit Empress will become the 9th Champion card in the game.

Two Versions of the Spirit Empress Revealed in Leaks

According to credible leaks and preview kits sent to popular Clash Royale creators, the Spirit Empress will be introduced in Season 73. Interestingly, this new Champion seems to exist in two distinct forms:

• Ground Form – A 3-Elixir troop fighting on foot.
• Mounted Form – A 6-Elixir aerial unit riding a Spirit Dragon.

Both forms carry the same name and share the same character design, which has led to speculation within the community. Could the Spirit Empress transform mid-battle? Is her Champion ability tied to shifting between forms? These questions remain unanswered as official gameplay footage is yet to be released.

Too Soon for Another Champion?

The news comes as a surprise, especially since Boss Bandit was only introduced recently in the Season 70 "Tale of Thieves" update (April 2025). Clash Royale has historically spaced out Champion releases — so a second one within three months is certainly unexpected, but exciting for fans.

What’s Next?

At this point, everything is still based on rumors and teasers — no gameplay or official announcement has been made public. However, the consistency of the leaks suggests the Spirit Empress is very likely to make her debut soon.

Stay tuned as we await gameplay reveals and official confirmation. One thing’s for sure — if the leaks are accurate, Clash Royale’s Champion roster is about to get a powerful new addition.
