Bone Blockade is the first-ever Clash Royale Daily Puzzle, released on November 2, 2026 with Season 89 (“King vs. King”). This one is a pure defense scenario: two Level 11 enemies push your side of the arena at the left bridge — a Knight and a Hog Rider — against your Princess Towers sitting at just 1,000 HP each (the enemy towers show 5,000). Your entire hand is two cards: Skeletons (1 Elixir) and a Tesla (4 Elixir). Every card can be played once, and the enemy script is identical on every attempt.

Understanding the clue

Supercell confirmed that puzzle names carry hints, and Bone Blockade is the tutorial for that idea:

• “Bone” — the Skeletons in your hand are the timing tool, not the damage.
• “Blockade” — the win comes from blocking and separating the two attackers so they never reach your towers together.

The core idea: split the two threats

The two enemies behave in opposite ways, and that difference is the whole puzzle:

1. The Knight is slower and always fights whatever is closest — he can be delayed by anything in his path.
2. The Hog Rider only targets buildings and ignores troops entirely — he can only be pulled and out-ranged.

So the efficient line is: use the Skeletons on the Knight, and the Tesla on the Hog Rider. Try to block both with the same card and one of them always walks free.

Step-by-step solution

1. Stall the Knight at the bridge. As the Knight reaches the left bridge, drop the Skeletons right there. He’s slower and fights whatever is closest, so all three stands hold him in his path — that’s the “blockade” reading most solvers take from the name.
2. Let the Hog Rider run past. He ignores the Skeletons completely — let him go. He runs straight at the nearest building on your side, now separated from the Knight.
3. Place the Tesla in the centre column, low on your side, roughly level with your Princess Towers. As the Hog Rider turns toward it, he stops somewhere in the middle — inside the overlapping range of both towers.
4. Finish both threats. Both Princess Towers plus the Tesla shoot the Hog Rider at once and he goes down quickly. In the centre, all three defenses also reach the Knight once he’s through the Skeletons, so your towers and the remaining Tesla take him down.

Common failure points

• Tesla too close to the river. It still pulls the Hog Rider, but it sits outside both Princess Towers’ range and dies alone — the exact advantage that makes this defense work is lost.
• Tesla shifted too far to one side. If only one tower can help, the Hog Rider takes too long to kill and connects with your Crown Tower.
• Skeletons against the Hog Rider. He ignores troops entirely — wasting the Skeletons on him loses your only way to delay the Knight.

Par and scoring

Early coverage has not documented the exact in-game Par for Bone Blockade yet — check the attempt counter in game. A clean execution of the three steps above is comfortably a low-attempt solve; two attempts is a solid benchmark for your first run (one to read the enemy timing, one to execute).
