Clash Royale Season 86 K.H.A.O.S: Heroes Valkyrie and Berserker, Evo Elite Barbarians, 5-Elixir Void

Q: How do you get Hero Valkyrie in Clash Royale?

Through the upgraded Pass Royale, or with Hero Coins at the start of the season, according to Supercell.

Q: How do you get Hero Berserker?

Through the Unleash the Beast event, which begins with Ken's C.H.A.O.S Draft League (August 3 to 17). The league's 15 wins earn a badge.

Q: What does the August 4 update change?

Every Hero and Champion ability becomes single-use (except Boss Bandit), Void costs 5 Elixir and Spirits lose hit points.

Clash Royale’s Season 86 K.H.A.O.S starts on August 3, 2026 with two Heroes, one Evolution and a balance update whose key point is not a card. Every Hero and Champion ability, except Boss Bandit’s, becomes single-use. Spirits also lose their pressure on towers.

Update, October 26, 2026: Supercell reworked Evo Elite Barbarians on August 26 (spear damage from 284 to 220, Rage from 3.5s to 2.5s), then on September 8 (spear range and Rage reduced). Hero Berserker’s ability went from 4s to 3.5s. Sources: August 26 balance and September 8 balance.

Hero Valkyrie and Hero Berserker

Hero Valkyrie gets the Wild Whirlwind ability. When activated, she whirls toward nearby enemies, spinning and slicing, but she still takes damage while spinning. Supercell says you get her by upgrading Pass Royale or with Hero Coins at the start of the season.

Hero Berserker has the Savage Survival ability. One tap sends her berserk, raising her hit speed and making her very hard to bring down for a few seconds. Her unlock runs through the Unleash the Beast event, which begins with Ken’s C.H.A.O.S Draft League. The league’s 15 wins earn a simple badge, not the Hero.

Evo Elite Barbarians: Rage-tipped spears

The Elite Barbarians Evolution hurls Rage-tipped spears at faraway enemies every few seconds. It also creates an enraging path for allies. Supercell ties it to Ken’s Shop with an “or can you?” and gives no price in the announcement.

The August 4 update: single-use, Spirits, Void

Supercell explains that ability cooldowns no longer justify their complexity. Every Hero and Champion ability becomes single-use, except Boss Bandit’s, which was designed for rapid activations. A few weaker Champions get buffs, including Goblinstein (Doctor damage from 92 to 135) and Guardienne (from 217 to 232).

The Fire, Ice, Heal and Electro Spirits drop from 230 to 215 hit points. They no longer connect to Crown Towers on their own, and they now fall to one shot from Archers, Archer Queen, Bomber, Musketeer and Tesla. Supercell cites a combined use rate of 53% in the Top 200 in 2026, which explains the target.

Void becomes the first 5-Elixir damage spell. It hits every 1.2 seconds instead of 1 second, but its damage roughly doubles: 340 to 696 on one target, 161 to 294 on two to four targets, 76 to 153 on five or more.

What to take away

What matters is how much a Hero is worth once its ability is spent: the engagement moment becomes the real decision. Spirits, for their part, stop being a free cycle onto towers. It remains to be seen whether Evo Elite Barbarians keeps its strength for long.
