April 2026 Balance Changes: Little Prince and Monk Cooldown Updates
On April 7, 2026, Supercell hit dominant Champion structures. Little Prince's Guardian spawn speed and Monk's damage reflection received crucial nerf timings.
Little Prince Guardian Delay
Guardian's active delay increases by 0.25s, opening windows for defenders to disrupt the knockback with Spells like Fireball or Lightning.
This delay heavily favors Poison and Earthquake setups. Defenders can now reliably burst down the Little Prince before his Guardian is summoned, forcing users to place him much deeper and play defensively.
Monk Reflect Duration Cut
Monk's active reflection shield has been cut from 4.0s to 3.5s, preventing him from completely countering slow ticks like full Poison duration.
With the increased cooldown, Monk players must now be extremely cautious about timing. Activating the ability too early leaves him exposed and vulnerable, turning him from an auto-include defense into a high-risk high-reward tactical card.
