January 2026 Balance Changes: Evolved Bomber and Arrows Adjustments
Updated 2026-01-15· Patch Season 79Balance, Spells
Supercell kicked off the year on January 8, 2026, with targeted fixes. Evolved Bomber's ricochet bounce distance is adjusted, and Arrows receive damage scaling modifications.
Evolved Bomber Bounce Limit
Ricochet's travel limit is reduced by 8%, stopping his ability to cleanly chip crown towers from the bridge with zero setups.
This restriction drops Evolved Bomber from a must-pick chip card to a standard utility card. Defenders can now position their defenses slightly farther back, safe from early bridge-bounces.
Arrows Radius Damage Distribution
The final wave of Arrows loses 4% damage, making interactions against Evolved Skeletons much tighter for defenders.
