Prince
Rider
Prince is a 5-Elixir Rider Super as of Season 11 — reworked rather than new — randomly assigned to each player at battle start instead of bought from the shop, and sellable for Elixir (he was previously a Noble-trait shop troop). At the start of combat, he charges the nearest enemy for bonus damage and a knockback; at 4-Star, that same charge instead knocks the target completely out of the Arena.
Also in the Base Game
Prince exists in the main Clash Royale deck-building game too, where it's a epic card costing 5 Elixir per deployment in a deck. Merge Tactics fields it differently — a 5-Elixir Super assigned at battle start and merged for star upgrades, rather than cycled through a deck.
