Clash Royale Evolution Shards Guide

Evolution shards are rare items in Clash Royale required for evolving cards. To unlock evolutions for any card, players will have to collect a total of six Evolution Shards for that particular card. Card Evolution can be considered an endgame feature for Clash Royale, and that’s why Supercell has made them quite hard to obtain. Here are the best and easiest methods to get Evolution Shards in Clash Royale:

1) Collect Free Shards from the Shop

All players can get two Wild Evolution Shards for free from the shop. Once you have reached King Level 7, the Shop will automatically offer you two Wild Shards. These Wild Cards can work for evolving any card eligible for evolution. Players can also purchase Evolution Shards from the Shop by spending, but that’s not necessary, as there are a few free ways to obtain them as well.

2) Participate in Challenges

Players can participate in Challenges to earn valuable rewards like Evolution Shards. Right now, Clash Royale is featuring a series of Evolution Challenges. All of them offer one Wild Evolution Shard for winning one game. Don’t forget to take part in Challenges, or you may just miss out on one of the rarest items in Clash Royale.

3) Purchase Shards from the Shop

As Evolution Shards are a new feature, Clash Royale is allowing players to purchase them directly from the Shop. Players can purchase the “All Evolutions Launch Special” pack for $100 to unlock all six Evolution Shards for Barbarians, Firecracker, Skeletons, and Royal Giant. It also offers 250,000 gold, one Legendary Book of Cards, four Common Books of Cards, and 5,000 Common Wild Cards to help you unlock and level up any card you might be missing.

The Shop also has a $5 pack called Card Evolution Launch Special, which gives one copy of Wild Shards for Barbarians, Firecracker, Skeletons, and Royal Giant. You also get 500 copies of these cards as well. There are also individual deals for each card. However, you might have to hurry as there is a time limit on these offers.

4) Level-Up Chests

Once you reach King Level 50, you can start getting Evolution Shards from Level-Up chests. If you’re not at level 50 yet, focus on upgrading and donating cards to earn XP and level up. It’s important to be patient because reaching level 50 can take quite a while.

Overall, Evolution seems to be a pay-to-win feature in Clash Royale. But with patience, free-to-play players can also unlock evolved cards and create an amazing deck with them.
