Princess

"Shoots a volley of flaming arrows halfway across the Arena. The Princess is afraid of germs, so keep the rabble away from her!"

Summary

 * The Princess is unlockable from the Royal Arena (Arena 7).
 * She is an area damage, long range troop with low hitpoints.
 * The Princess' range is so long she can target and shoot Arena Towers from the opposite side of the river.

Strategy

 * The Princess' ranged area damage makes her a good counter for hordes of low hitpoint troops.
 * The area damage of the Princess is very high, but due to her low hitpoints, she can be eliminated quickly. It is effective to spawn a Giant or Knight in front of her defensively, to engage any opposing troops so that the Princess can survive and continue to inflict damage.
 * A well placed Fireball, Goblin Barrel, or Arrows can easily defeat the Princess.
 * Be careful when using Arrows to defeat a Princess, as the opponent may take advantage of your lack of Arrows and deploy swarms of low hitpoint troops, such as the Minion Horde, Skeleton Army or even a mirrored Princess.
 * Although the Princess is superior to attacking Defensive Buildings at a far distance, the Tesla cannot be attacked by the Princess whilst it is hiding, forcing the player to aggressively attack the Tesla Tower or to leave the Princess to be eliminated.
 * When defending against an enemy rush, deploying her at the back of the Arena is beneficial, as her long range will allow her to attack while receiving no incoming hits.
 * Keep in mind that Spells can still reach her.

Trivia

 * The Princess was added to the game on 29/2/16 with the March Update.
 * On 23/3/16, a Balance Update decreased her hitpoints by 10%.
 * Before the update, from level 5 onwards, the Princess could not be taken out by level 12 Arrows (and also she could not be taken out in friendly battle where the Legendary level cap is 1 and the common level cap is 8).
 * The Princess is currently the only troop that can hit an Arena Tower without being targeted by the opposing Crown Tower.
 * According to the official game tips, two Princesses guard the two Arena Towers.
 * However, the Arena Tower Princesses do not shoot flame arrow volleys and have less range compared to the Princess troop.
 * When attacking, she can say words such as "Let's go!", "Gotcha!", "Bullseye!", and "Yay."
 * She is one of the two legendary cards, along with the Ice Wizard.
