''For key information about all cards in the game, see [[Card Overviews]].''

{{Rarity|Champion}} is a [[Cards|card]] rarity in Clash Royale. It consists of 7 cards so far: the [[Skeleton King]], the [[Archer Queen]], the [[Golden Knight]], the [[Mighty Miner]], [[Monk]], the [[Little Prince]], and [[Goblinstein]]. Like all other cards, Champions can be obtained through the [[Trophies|Trophy Road]], starting in [[Arenas|Arena 16]].

===About Champions===
*{{Rarity|Champion}} [[cards]] start at level 11.
*{{Rarity|Champion}} cards have a unique gimmick special to their rarity, which are Abilities. Abilities are accessible from the bottom rightmost side of the screen, just above the player's “hand” in [[Basics of Battle|battle]]. They cost [[Elixir]] to cast, granting a {{Rarity|Champion}} card a special ability depending on the {{Rarity|Champion}} card, and will only stay as long as the {{Rarity|Champion}} card is alive.
**The average Elixir cost in the [[Battle Decks|deck]] menu only counts the base Elixir cost instead of both the base and the ability.
*Only one {{Rarity|Champion}} card can be in a deck at a time.
*{{Rarity|Champion}} cards will not reappear until after they have died, and 4 cards have been drawn from the player's Battle Deck. Their absence from the card rotation while alive can be taken advantage of to get to wanted cards quicker, commonly known as a 3 card Champion cycle.
*[[Clone]] can be used on a {{Rarity|Champion}} card, but the {{Rarity|Champion}} card's ability will only be used by the original.
*[[Mirror]] cannot be used on {{Rarity|Champion}} cards. If the player's last played card was a {{Rarity|Champion}} card, the Mirror will appear greyed out with a ? in place of the Elixir number. If the player's first card played was a {{Rarity|Champion}} card, and they obtain a Mirror card by having it be dealt to their hand as the second card, the Mirror will again appear greyed out with a ? in place of the Elixir number. Attempting to deploy it while it is greyed will do nothing, and on the first attempt the text "Mirror cannot be deployed as a first card" will be displayed.
*However, when a {{Rarity|Champion}} card activates their ability 0.3 seconds before they die, the Elixir spent on the ability will be refunded 0.4 seconds after they die. {{Fact}}
*Currently, there are no Book equivalents for {{Rarity|Champion}} cards, although the [[Magic Items|Book of Books]] and their respective Wild Cards will still work.
