Shocktober Season: Hero Electro Wizard and Electro Giant Evolution
Published: October 5, 2026 · Source: Supercell’s official notes · 2 cards
The Shocktober season, which started on October 5, 2026, did not bring a new card, but it added two new forms: Hero Electro Wizard and the Electro Giant Evolution. Hero Electro Wizard comes with the upgraded Pass Royale, while the Electro Giant Evolution is free for completing the season’s Album Event. The day after the season started, the October balance changes hit 17 cards.
New card and forms
Electro Wizard Hero- ✨ Hero form added (ability: Surging Strikes). It stuns two nearby enemies at once for a few seconds. Unlocked through the upgraded Pass Royale.
When his ability (Surging Strikes) is activated, Electro Wizard stuns two nearby enemies at once for a few seconds. Electro Wizard already stuns with every hit; the hero form gives you an extra tool to stop charging cards like Inferno Tower, Inferno Dragon or Sparky, or two threats arriving at the same time. The hero is active in your deck’s 2nd (Hero) or 3rd (Wild) slot.
Electro Giant Evolution- ✨ Evolution added. Evolved Electro Giant releases an expanding electric pulse that shrinks and de-levels enemies in range. Unlocked for free by completing the Album Event (October 6 – November 2, 2026).
Evolved Electro Giant releases an expanding electric pulse that shrinks enemies in range and lowers their level. Since de-leveled defenders also have lower hitpoints and damage, it becomes easier for Electro Giant to reach the tower. The evolution is active in your deck’s 1st (Evolution) or 3rd (Wild) slot.
How to unlock the Electro Giant Evolution
The Shocktober: The Movie! Album Event runs from October 6 to November 2. You collect Snippets from daily battle rewards (up to 3 a day), events or the Shop to complete the movie posters; finishing the album unlocks the Electro Giant Evolution plus an emote and a tower skin. Four duplicate Snippets can be swapped for a guaranteed new one, and in the final week of the event every daily reward Snippet is a new one. The event is available from Arena 3.
