Clash Royale Hero Ice Golem Emote: Here's How You Can Get it for Yourself?

The Clash Royale Season 79: Fire & Ice (January 2026) marks the introduction of the Hero Ice Golem, a hero-level counterpart of the Ice Golem, which comes with the active Snowstorm ability that slows down pushes and also disturbs the backline support, much like the effect of the Archer Queen on spell timing.

Supercell has also made available the Hero Ice Golem emotes depicting rise, reaction, and freeze, along with the card, and these emotes can be used in tournaments, challenges, and on the ladder.

How to Get Hero Ice Golem emote in Clash Royale

The easiest way to get the Hero Ice Golem Rise emote for free is through the Supercell Store free claim. The emote is obtainable without spending any gems during the Season 79 promotions.

Steps:

• Open Clash Royale or navigate to the Supercell Store section.
• Locate the Hero Ice Golem reward.
• Get the emote.

It’s kind of the same as the free emote drops around the time of the Monk’s release, where claiming the emote early was more important than trophy progress. Once the promotion rotates out, the Clash Royale Hero Ice Golem emote will no longer be free, especially as focus shifts on gameplay tuning like the Clash Royale Balance Changes January 2026, which usually ends early cosmetic giveaways.

Royale Pass and Seasonal Progression

Season 79 additionally puts Hero Ice Golem skins within the Royale Pass track, with an emote being one of the seasonal rewards.

• The Diamond Pass Royale gets the emote sooner, using the same method as in Champion launch seasons when paid tracks got the cosmetics first.
• Players on Free Pass can still obtain the themed rewards by advancing through the tiers, but the emote remains inaccessible to them.

This arrangement is comparable to the ones in the Skeleton King and Golden Knight seasons, where Hero emotes were linked to pass progression instead of direct challenges, thereby keeping cosmetics in sync with seasonal balance updates and reward pacing.

Hero Ice Golem Clash Royale: Early Access, Hero Box Availability, Shop Rotation and Event Rewards

Early access for Hero Ice Golem is live. From February 2nd, the Hero Ice Golem starts appearing in Hero Boxes, following the same rollout used for recent Heroes. The free emote offer is linked to this early access phase.

The Clash Royale hero ice golem emote might come back later through:

• Daily emote shop rotations for gems
• Limited-time challenges
• Seasonal bundles

This is similar to previous hero emotes like mighty miner ones, which came back after months through shop cycles. The availability is based on the timing rather than rank or trophies.
Compared with Monk or Archer Queen seasons, the Hero Ice Golem in Clash Royale is easier to obtain. Earlier updates tied cosmetics to long challenges, similar to rewards seen in the Clash Royale Dragon Surge Event Guide. Season 79 favours store claims and launch rewards, reducing grind but weakening long-term progression value.
