Clash Royale players who have also played Clash of Clans know some of the cards that received inspiration from the latter. The latter is much older, but both take place in the same universe and share many similar troops.

Hog Rider, one of the few troops inspired by Clash of Clans, is a Rare card in Clash Royale unlocked once users reach Arena 5.
