A stat on this card changed after this page's mechanics were last checked (2026-08-17):

Figures below use Level 11, Clash Royale's tournament standard, regardless of the level selected above.

Ronin is a 5-Elixir Legendary Troop (single unit, single-target, non-splash melee attacker) released July 6, 2026 in Season 85 "Honor & Exile." At Level 11 he has 1,779 HP, deals 371 damage per hit (265 DPS), hits every 1.4 sec with a 0.4 sec first-hit time, and moves at Fast (90 ≈ 1.5 tiles/sec) speed. He targets Ground only and cannot hit air units. His signature mechanic is Parry: any incoming ground-melee, non-splash hit (`isMeleeRange(range) && !hasSplash`) is blocked for 0 HP loss and reflected back at the attacker for 200% of the incoming raw damage, after which parry goes on a flat 3.5s cooldown independent of Ronin's own attack cycle. Parry is armed from the instant he's deployed. Splash-carrying melee attackers (Mega Knight, Valkyrie) and all ranged attackers bypass parry entirely and always land real damage. A same-tick overlap bug versus a charging Dark Prince and an interaction that cancelled Golden Knight's dash were fixed on 2026-08-03/04 by changing First Hit Time from 0.3s to 0.4s; the parry parameters themselves (200% / 3.5s / melee-only) and all core stats were untouched by that patch. Ronin has no Evolution and no Hero form in the main game; a mechanically unrelated "Ruler" version named Ronin with a "Double Edge" ability exists only in the separate Merge Tactics spin-off mode.

Ronin released July 6, 2026, in Season 85 'Honor & Exile.'
Ronin's associated Arena is named 'Serenity Peak.'

At Level 11, Ronin deals 371 damage per hit — this is the current, correct value. A stale pre-launch figure of 337 still circulates in some older third-party summaries; that is a real historical value, not the current one.
