Training Camp is a mode where the player battles an AI-controlled trainer for practice. When a player starts playing the game, Training Camp functions as the game's tutorial, introducing the player to all of the game's mechanics. After the tutorial, the Training Camp mode can be played for practice in games where no Trophies are won or lost, no Chests can be obtained and Masteries' objectives cannot be completed. This is accessed by pressing the button with an archery target on it in the menu button. The trainer present in the Training Camp changes once you pass certain trophy thresholds. Each trainer has a specific deck.
Tutorial[]
- This Arena is the first place that players are taken upon starting up the game for the first time.
- In the first battle, the player will have the following Cards: Arrows, Knight, Archers, Minions, Giant, and Fireball.
- This is the only time in the game in which a player can have fewer than 8 Cards in their deck, as newly acquired Cards are automatically placed in their deck, and cannot be removed until the player has obtained more than 8 Cards, after which they can be switched out.
- If the player leaves Chests unopened during Training Camp games without reaching 8 Cards in their deck, they will not be able to play multiplayer games.
- The King will show dialogue introducing the player to the game and its mechanics; then he will tell the player to place down a Knight card. However, the player is free to deploy it at any time or deploy another card instead.
- In the first tutorial battle, Elixir is gained more quickly than in normal play and there is no time limit.
- Once the first battle is completed, the player is given a wooden Chest and taken to the main menu.
- Each Wooden Chest contains 18 Gold and 4 Cards and takes 1 second to open.
- The player has to open the first Wooden Chest and upgrade one of their cards before starting the second tutorial battle.
- After only about 1 or 2 battles, players should already have a full deck of 8 cards, as they are likely to unlock the remaining two rare cards within the wooden chests they are receiving.
- There are 3 battles that occur within the tutorial, with all but the last one giving a Wooden Chest upon their completion.
- The final battle is fittingly named, "The Final Test", and gives a "Training Camp Silver Chest" (which has the same rewards as an Arena 1 Silver Chest but only contains Cards from the Training Camp) upon its completion.
- Then, the player is automatically placed in Goblin Stadium with 0 Trophies and 100
, concluding the tutorial.
After the Tutorial[]
- Training Camp can always be accessed from the main menu screen, on the top right corner, near the Gem counter, there is a button that contains a menu, one of the options would be "Training Camp".
- Training Camp battles after the tutorial are risk-free and meant for practice. The opponent is a non-player character, and the rules of the match are similar to those of a regular battle.
- After the tutorial, subsequent training battles will not yield Chests or Crowns, and like the tutorial, no Trophies are gained or lost.
- A usage of the Training Camp is to test out whether or not your device will smoothly load a battle. Sometimes, due to either network or the device's remaining space issue, a game can be loaded very slowly, resulting in an unwanted loss. Therefore, if you are going to play an important battle (for example, Grand Challenge), you may first enter the Training Camp to make sure that your device can load a battle smoothly, then play the Grand Challenge.

Trivia[]
- Every Trainer is in the same non-existent Clan called "Royal Trainers".
- Some Trainers have taunts that the player cannot use, like "Welcome to the show!" and "Well Done!".
- The player cannot use Emotes here, as the button is replaced by a red button with an "X" on it, used to return to the main menu or pause the battle.
- In the tutorial, it is possible for the player to use a deck with less than 8 Cards if they do not have enough unique cards unlocked. However, an 8-Card deck is required to play multiplayer.
- The first 3 Trainers have reduced Crown Tower statistics. Trainers 1-3 have Crown Towers with 20%, 30%, and 40% of the hitpoints of a level 1 Crown Tower respectively.
- The Goblins are used by more Trainers than any other card, being used by a total of 25 Trainers.
- Even though the Mini P.E.K.K.A's description states that the Arena is a butterfly-free zone, a butterfly can be seen flying in the Training Camp picture.
- Many of the trainers' names are references to different things.
- Trainer Fikova has the same name as a Single Player Map in Clash of Clans.
- Trainer Jonas has the same name as an employee at Supercell and Trainer Osteri has the same name as a former lead developer of Clash Royale.
- Other Trainers have references to some of their cards that they use in their decks. For example, Trainer Dragon uses both Baby Dragon and Inferno Dragon in the same deck while Trainer Rocket uses a Rocket. Another trainer's name is Trainer Freeze, who conveniently uses cards with a winter theme, like the Freeze, Ice Golem or Ice Spirit.
- One of the most notable references is that to the Pokémon series within the trainer names. These include Trainer Paul, Trainer Gary, Trainer Red, Trainer Oak, Trainer Brock, and Trainer Clemont. The first two are Paul and Gary, two of Ash's rivals in the anime, the third is Red, the main protagonist of Pokémon Red, the fourth is Professor Oak, who gives you your starter Pokémon in most Pokémon games, the fifth is Brock, a companion of Ash from the anime and Pewter City Gym Leader, and the last is Clemont, another companion of Ash from the anime and Lumiose City Gym Leader. These trainers all show up in succession, in this very order.
- Trainer Clemont, also uses an electric-related card, Electro Spirit. This is further reference to Clemont from the Pokémon series.
- Another noticeable reference is that to the names of the Seven Dwarves (except Doc), which are Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sneezy, Sleepy, and Happy. However, unlike the Pokémon references, these Trainers do not go in succession.
- Trainer Shelly is the only trainer who uses the Hunter. This is a possible reference to the Brawl Stars playable character of the same name, with a buckshot attack mechanic similar to Hunter.
- Trainer Arnold might be a reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor who portrayed T-800 Terminators.
- Trainer Urho is a Finnish name, meaning brave.
- In the original version, Trainer Cheddar (both Cheddar and Cheddar II) breaks the rules of Clash Royale, as he generates Elixir at a highly accelerated rate (1 Elixir every 0.7 seconds, or 4 times the normal Elixir generation), which becomes even more intense once Double Elixir hits. He deploys Troops every 3 seconds no matter the cost, and due to the AI’s limited choice of action he will either continuously spam everything at the bridge, defend units that crossed the bridge or use spells on troops that are vulnerable.
- Other Trainers, however, generate Elixir at a slower rate than the player.
