Cards

Cards are the only method of deploying troops, spells, and buildings onto the battlefield. Deploying cards costs Elixir, which is gradually gained during battle. Cards can be obtained through buying them with Gold in the Shop or finding them in assorted Chests. Duplicate cards obtained will fill up an upgrade meter. Once the meter is full, you can upgrade the card with Gold. All health and damage statistics are increased by roughly 10% per level. Cards that are able to spawn troops, such as the Goblin Hut and Witch, will have their spawned troop level increased by 1 per level.

Types of Cards

There are three main types of cards: troops, spells, and buildings. Generally, spells are temporary and can be cast anywhere in the battlefield, while buildings (which are stationary), troops (which can move) can only be spawned on your territory (with the exception of the Miner.)There are also 4 card rarities: Common (signified by grey or pale blue), Rare (signified by orange), Epic (signified by purple) and Legendary (signified by a rainbow). Each rarity has a different number of levels.

• Common cards have 13 different levels.
• Rare cards have 11 different levels, ranging from level 3 to level 13.
• Epic cards have 8 different levels, ranging from level 6 to level 13.
• Legendary cards have 5 different levels, ranging from level 9 to level 13.

Ranges

Each troop and defensive building in Clash Royale has a range, specified in tiles.

• Cards that have a range of 0.8 tiles or less are classified as "Melee: Short". Should a card have less than 0.8 tiles of range, the table below will specify the exact numbers.
• Cards that have a range of 1.2 tiles are classified as "Melee: Medium".
• Cards that have a range of 1.6 tiles are classified as "Melee: Long".
• Cards with a range of 2 or more tiles are simply classified as being ranged.

Trivia

• You are guaranteed to get 1 Epic during the tutorial.
• The chest you get is based on the arena in which you battle in, not your current one. You will always fight in the higher arena (Example: if a player from Arena 5 is matched with a player from Arena 4, then they will fight in Spell Valley, which is Arena 5). This means that you can get cards from an Arena that you have not reached yet.
• Epics can only be requested once every Sunday; Legendary Cards cannot be donated or requested.
• If your card has reached the max level, each card received will give you a certain amount of Gold. This also holds true if you have enough cards to upgrade to the max level but haven't upgraded it yet. For example, when the upgrade meter of a level 12 Common card reaches "5000/5000", each additional card will be converted to 5 Gold.
  • Every Common over the maximum gives 5 Gold.
  • Every Rare gives 50 Gold.
  • Every Epic gives 500 Gold.
  • Every Legendary gives 20,000 Gold.
• In the Japanese language setting, Epic Cards are called Super Rare Cards while Legendary Cards are called Ultra Rare Cards, the terms often used in card collection games. In the Korean language setting, Epic Cards are called Heroic Cards.
