Players can find more troop variety in Clash Royale than in its predecessor, Clash of Clans. But that doesn’t mean the troops are perfect. On the contrary, multiple cards continue to get reworked or tweaked, and the same happened to the Three Musketeers in the November update. This is how the Three Musketeers rework works, and the other additions that came to Clash Royale in November.

What does the Three Musketeers rework change in Clash Royale?
The original Musketeers have been replaced by Elite Musketeers, making it a more reliable offensive threat. The changes make them tougher to take down while giving them close-range stopping power. Of course, LootBar is still the best way to get this card and level it to an appropriate level. Here's a breakdown of the Three Musketeers’ new stats and abilities.
They now come with a 22% boost to HP, making them much tougher and less likely to get wiped by medium-to-heavy spells.
Their ranged damage and hit speed do take a hit, though, resulting in 22% less ranged DPS.
The biggest gameplay change is their new Bayonet Attack, a close-range strike with 28% more DPS than a regular Musketeer’s attack when enemies step within 1.6 tiles.
Along with these gameplay changes, they also now show off updated armor, fresh hairstyles, and the signature bayonets. In particular, the new artwork has many players marveling at how unique all three musketeers look, ensuring that all three actually have some personality instead of being one-note musketeers.
Those who want to increase their chances of getting a good haul of the Three Musketeers cards can look toward this new season’s Triple Threat Lucky Chest. It is themed around the Three Musketeers rework and is fantastic for your progression.
You will find cards like the Musketeer, Three Musketeers, Golden Knight, and Little Princess inside.
This chest gives you a chance to earn up to six Musketeer Evolution Shards, which is a great way to start or complete your collection.
If you are worried about those punishing milestones, the monthly events are packed with progression rewards. These include an Epic Book of Cards and three Skeleton Barrel Evolution Shards, which is a sweet bonus for any Mortar or bait deck players.
What’s the best way to use the new Three Musketeers in Clash Royale?
The Three Musketeers rework makes this troop less of a ranged attacker and more of a hybrid. The melee attacks deal more damage than the ranged ones, making this card one of the more flexible ones.
A good way to utilize this card’s high attack power is by having a good tank to lead the fray. Using a card like Royal Giant or Ice Golem is an excellent way to ensure that defenses and towers are dealt with, while the Three Musketeers are there to clear out any opposing troops. Alternatively, using the Three Musketeers as escorts for air troops like the Royal Hogs evolution and balloons is also a good idea, primarily thanks to how the musketeers can make quick work of ground and air troops.
How does Royal Hogs Evolution work in Clash Royale?
Royal Hogs, which were already a strong win condition, now get their evolution this season.
When evolved, the Royal Hogs grow tiny wings and fly straight towards the nearest building.
They glide over ground defenses like Log, Mega Knight’s jump, or even buildings in their way.
Upon getting hit or touching their target, the evolved Hogs immediately drop down and deal 115 area damage spanning a 2.0-tile radius to ground units where they land.
All four crashing together means the burst can singehandedly wipe out swarms like Skeletons at a moment's notice. To counter them, you will need two full cycles before the evolution activates, meaning only one out of every three Hog deployments gets the upgrade.
What are the Clash Royale November buffs and nerfs?
Nine cards are getting tweaks this season, with some heavy defenses dialed down, and a few underperforming cards getting love to help them compete again.
Nerfs
Evo Royal Ghost sees its Souldiers’ damage cut down by 50%, reducing how overpowered its pushes felt last season and making defense marginally more manageable.
Elixir Pump now generates elixir every 13 seconds instead of 12, with an 8% slowdown that nerfs elixir-heavy strategies like Three Musketeers over long matches.
Goblin Hut slows its Spear Goblin spawn rate from 1.9 seconds to 2.0, slightly cutting the nonstop pressure it applied and giving other buildings a chance to shine.
Buffs
Phoenix gets a stronger rebirth, with the Hatchling gaining 25% more HP and damage, turning it into a real threat.
Rascals benefit from a 6% damage boost to Rascal Boy from 204 to 217, letting him tank and hit back during counter-pushes.
Evo Goblin Drill spawns two Goblins instead of one on its first submerge, recovering earlier lost pressure and helping punish towers more effectively.
Little Prince improves with a 7% damage boost to his Guardian for more defensive stopping power and value on offensive pushes.
Spirit Empress gets buffed with a 10% HP increase from 1134 to 1244 in her ground form, making her harder to remove.
Golden Knight gets a quality-of-life tweak as his dash delay drops from 200ms to 50ms, fixing the bug where he is stuck chasing units out of reach.
Conclusion
This concludes everything to know about the Three Musketeers rework, as well as some of the other major changes that came alongside the November update in Clash Royale. The Three Musketeers have been shelved for a long time now, so seeing them reworked is a step in the right direction for cards that don’t see much love from players. If you can’t wait to start experimenting with this new card, then you can always get a Clash Royale top up to make life easier for yourself.
