Fire & Ice Season Opens 2026 With Hero Wizard and Hero Ice Golem
Season 79 kicked off 2026 with two new Heroes — Hero Wizard's Fiery Flight and Hero Ice Golem's Snowstorm — plus a Snowstorm arena event.
Clash Royale's first season of 2026, Fire & Ice, leaned into the Hero system introduced a month earlier. Hero Wizard arrived on day one with the Fiery Flight ability, taking off on fire wings and raining splash-damage torches; Hero Ice Golem followed on January 16 with Snowstorm, slowing and freezing nearby enemies.
The season's events matched the theme: a Hero Wizard Draft in the opening week and a Snowstorm event (January 19–26) that froze the whole arena, with players casting Warmth spells to thaw their troops.
Crown Chases handed out Baby Dragon Evolution Shards, Hero Boxes and Frostfire Lucky Chests, and two Clan Voyage expeditions gave clans their cooperative track for the month.
