Clash Royale Season 40 Tier List: Best Cards (October 2022)

This Clash Royale tier list was created to help you pick the best cards for your decks from among more than 100 options in Season 40. Clash Royale currently includes a total of 103 regular character cards and 4 champions to choose from, so building those perfect decks can be incredibly time-consuming. However, if you are aware of the best-performing characters at any given time, you can gain the upper hand against your opponents. After several reworks and balance changes were released in early October 2022, the positions of several character cards changed, placing them somewhere completely different on our tier list. As you use the best characters from the higher tiers of our Clash Royale ranking while trying to reach Legendary Arena, the game's strategic, high-octane gameplay will go a step further. Here are the strongest cards in Season 40!

Clash Royale Tier List (Season 40)
