AI Overview: Electro Wizard is a 4-elixir Legendary that stuns everything near him when he lands, then shoots two targets. That stun resets Sparky, Inferno Dragon and Inferno Tower. The site guide lists a best deck at 72.1% and a Hero version added in October 2026. Arena 7 for unlock, but the site guide says Arena 11.
Last Updated: October 2026
Key Points:
- Electro Wizard costs 4 elixir, is a Legendary and unlocks in Arena 11 (Electro Valley) on the site guide. The release page says Arena 7.
- His landing stun and each shot stun for about half a second.
- RoyaleTracker’s best Electro Wizard deck won 72.1% over about 1,100 battles. Hero Electro Wizard arrived with Season 88.
- He is weak to Fireball and should not stand next to other support troops.
What the Stun Does
It gave the stats, the changelog and a list of tricks. The core idea has not changed: his landing stun works like a mini Zap, and his shots stun every time.
The short version: stun resets the target’s charge or aim.
| Fact | Notes. | 2026 check |
| Cost | 4 elixir | 4 elixir (Legendary) |
| Unlock | Arena 7 (Royal Arena) | Arena 11 (Electro Valley) |
| Stun | 0.5 seconds | Not re-checked |
| Hero version | Not covered | Added with Season 88, October 2026 |
| Best deck | Not covered | 72.1% over about 1,100 battles |
A Hero version arrived this season, and its best lists have small samples of 126 to 504 battles. If those numbers hold up, the Hero may get a first adjustment soon. The negative effect: a strong Hero Electro Wizard would make Sparky and Inferno decks harder to play, and players of those decks would lose a favorite plan.
Six Stun Resets
- Sparky. Drop him on top of an approaching Sparky to reset the charge. Many players call him a hard counter.
- Inferno Dragon. The stun resets its beam, which restarts the damage ramp.
- Inferno Tower. After you take one or two towers, deploy him onto the tower while it burns your tank to reset it.
- Royal Giant. Land him above the Giant and it must re-aim at your building.
- Small troops. The landing damage finishes weak cards, but a level 1 Wizard needs two hits for a level 10 Minion.
What it means: his best trick is timing, not damage. Still unknown: how the Hero changes this, since the site only has small samples. See the Electro Wizard card guide, the Sparky guide and the Inferno Dragon guide.
Timing rule: wait until the target is about to fire, not before. A stun too early wastes the reset.
Inferno Dragon lists are near the bottom of the sample, with only one list above 50%. If Electro Wizard keeps rising, those decks may fall further. The negative effect: fewer Inferno builds mean fewer counters to big tanks, and Golem decks may get stronger by default.
Placement and Weak Spots
Keep him away from a spell trade.
Support troops: do not place him close to Wizard, Witch or Musketeer behind your tank. One spell would hit all of them.
Tower damage: alone, his DPS of 117 does little to a tower. Use him as a support card.
The takeaway: he is a utility card with a strong stun. Pair him with a tank and keep him a step back. See our Sparky counter guide for more resets.
Release-Time Numbers
| Level | Hitpoints | Damage (each of two) | Spawn damage |
| 1 | 590 | 96 | 159 |
| 5 | 861 | 140 | 231 |
What it means: his damage is small and his value is the stun.
A Short Change History
2017 changes: the old changelog lists spawn damage cut by 6% and health up 9% in January, and the removal of his permanent stun in March. A later change slowed his hit speed, cut his hitpoints by 2% and delayed his first attack.
The lesson: the first balance work on this card was about the stun. That is still the card’s identity.
2026: the site lists no balance change for the base card, and the Hero version arrived with Season 88.
Hero cards tend to get quick adjustments after launch, and Electro Wizard’s Hero is no different. The negative effect: if the Hero is trimmed, players who just built around it lose a fresh favorite.
Playing Against Electro Wizard
A Fireball on a lone Wizard is a clean trade.
Do not send a charging card into him: his landing stun can reset Sparky, Inferno cards and Royal Giant, so wait until he lands first.
Spread your troops: his shots hit two targets, so a tight group gets stunned together.
The takeaway: bait him out, then send your reset-sensitive card. See our Sparky counter guide.
From level 1 to level 5, hitpoints rise from 590 to 861, and each shot rises from 96 to 140 damage. Both numbers grow by about 46%. So level matters, but the stun does not scale, which is why Electro Wizard works even when he is under-leveled, as long as the timing is right and a Fireball does not catch him.
