Clash Royale Evolved Bomber Placement and Bounce Guide

To use the Evolved Bomber effectively in Clash Royale, deploy it behind heavy tanks or near the center of your arena so its bouncing bomb ricochets off frontline defensive units and strikes secondary targets or Princess Towers behind them.

Unlike the standard Bomber—which deals ground splash damage in a fixed radius—the Evolved Bomber fires a projectile that strikes its primary target and bounces forward once. This bounce extends the unit's effective threat range, allowing you to deal direct tower chip damage while clearing enemy troops.

Evolved Bomber Mechanics and Placement

Maximizing the Evolved Bomber requires precise positioning to ensure the ricochet travels toward your intended target. Because the bomb always bounces forward from the point of first contact, your placement dictates whether the secondary explosion hits enemy support units, defensive buildings, or a Princess Tower.

Behind Heavy Tanks: Place the Evolved Bomber behind high-health pushers like a Giant or PEKKA. When the opponent drops a defensive building or melee troop to stop your tank, the initial bomb hits the defender and ricochets directly onto the Princess Tower.
Center-Field Defense: Position the card near the middle of your arena to defend against incoming pushes. The initial hit damages the primary tank, while the forward bounce clears secondary support units or swarm troops like Goblins and Skeleton Army in a single interaction.
Bridge Pressure: Deploy the Evolved Bomber directly at the bridge when your opponent is low on elixir. Any quick defensive unit dropped to block the Bomber will trigger a bounce that reaches the opponent's tower.

Trade-offs and Limitations

While the bounce mechanic creates high-value interactions, the card has explicit weaknesses that require careful play:

Factor	Detail	Practical Impact
Low Health	Susceptible to low-cost spells like Arrows, The Log, and Zap.	Avoid grouping the Bomber near glass cannons to prevent giving your opponent high spell value.
Evolution Cycles	Evolution is only active on specific card cycles.	Playing the un-evolved Bomber recklessly early in the match reduces your available evolved deployments during double elixir.
Defensive Spacing	Ricochet relies on forward target alignment.	Opponents who spread out defensive placements will cause the bounce to land harmlessly on empty ground.

Pair the Evolved Bomber with durable tanks or secondary control spells, and monitor your opponent's defensive habits to ensure every ricochet hits a high-value target.
