Mode Mechanism
Clash Royale has turned into a Chess arena. The King Tower replaces the King. The Mother Witch Tower replaces the Queen. Similarly, Bomber, Dark Prince, and Executioner replace the remaining.
Fun Fact: There are 18x28 tiles in Spooky Chess Arena, instead of 8x8 in a Chess.
All towers, except the Dark Prince tower, are defensive. The Dark Prince tower, however, deploys Dark Prince in regular intervals.
The quest is to destroy the King Tower and the Mother Witch Tower.
Fun Fact: Maximum number of crowns you can get in this game mode is 2, one from the Mother Witch and one from the King tower.
Winning Strategy: Destroy Supporting Towers
Four towers expand to the left and right of the King and the Queen towers. One of these towers is the Dark Prince tower that spawns Dark Prince.
In this strategy, we aim to take all the supporting towers down with a combination of three spells (Tornado, Snowball, Curse, Zap). When the towers fall, the opponent will be short of Dark Prince. By taking advantage, we can always push the opponent later.
