Clash Royale Season 73 ‘Dress to Empress’ July 2025 Update Overview
New Card: Spirit Empress
Previously, I provided the specifics in the latest article’s update, but allow me to offer further insights. Intriguingly, a fresh addition to the roster of new cards released this year is this extraordinary card. The Spirit Empress, an innovative character, presents a unique mechanic: she assumes two distinct forms based on the amount of Elixir available.

If you equip her with 3 to 5.9 Elixir, she takes on the role of a ground melee combatant, dealing substantial damage. However, when you have 6 or more Elixir, she arrives for battle upon a dragon, transforming into an airborne ranged unit that boasts increased health and coverage.
In this character, the form you see isn’t determined by your choice; instead, it transforms based on the Elixir you have at hand. This gives her an impressive adaptability, but it also means she requires careful handling to utilize effectively. On the ground, she packs a punch similar to a Mini P.E.K.K.A., while in flight, she boasts good range and can typically withstand most spells cast against her.
Here are the steps I followed to get the Spirit Empress card for free:
1. I navigated through the provided guide.
2. I made sure I had the necessary requirements, such as a registered account and meeting certain conditions.
3. Once ready, I followed the instructions step by step in the guide, which led me to unlocking the Spirit Empress card for free!
4. Now, I can proudly add this powerful card to my deck!

New Evolution: Skeleton Barrel
The Upgraded Skeleton Barrel now poses a significant danger, as its advanced form grants increased stats and provides you with not one, but two barrels, much like the enhanced Goblin Barrel.
Whenever the Enhanced Skull Container sustains damage and sheds a quarter of its health points, it prematurely drops one of its barrels. Despite this early drop, both barrels will still unleash seven skeletons apiece upon explosion. You’ll only obtain the upgraded version every third time you use the card in play.
