Clash Royale Spooky Chess League Event Guide: Here's How to Get the Rewards

It's time for the Halloween season in Supercell, and the Clash Royale Shocktober Season brings back a recurring game mode with a scary twist: Spooky Chess. In this version of the Royal Chess game mode, your King Tower is now guarded by a row of Royal Recruits in the front. On each side of the King Tower, you will have an Executioner, Dark Prince, and a Bomber.

On its right side, you will have a Mother Witch as your Queen. Additionally, two Dark Princes will constantly spawn from both lanes to pressure your opponent since there's no river in the middle dividing the arena. This Clash Royale Spooky Chess League Guide will discuss all the rewards you can get from this event, along with some strategies to outplay your opponent to get said rewards without breaking a sweat.
