“Gold is used to upgrade and to buy cards.”
Gold is a resource that can be used to upgrade Cards, buy Cards and Elite Wild Cards from the Shop, or to create a Clan. Gold is found in Chests and Lucky Drops, received from donating Cards to other Clan members, earned from winning multiplayer battles, and can be rewarded for reaching a certain amount of wins in some Special Event Challenges. It can also be bought with Gems.
Obtaining
- Gold is found in every Chest except for the Tower Troop, Epic, Legendary, and Champion Chests. The amount varies based on the type of chest and the player's current Arena.
- Gold can also be found in Common and Rare Lucky Drops, at 1,500 and 7,500 Gold respectively.
- Gold is also received when donating Cards. 5 Gold is awarded for each Common card, 50 Gold for each Rare card, and 500 Gold for each Epic card donated.
- Gold is also available in the Season Shop. It can be purchased a total of 30 times per season, with the first 10 attempts costing 400 Season Tokens, and increasing to 800 and 1,200 for the next 10 and last 10 attempts respectively.
- Gold can be occasionally found as a free daily bonus in the Shop.
Victory Gold
- A small amount of Gold is rewarded upon winning a match on the Trophy Road, Path of Legends, and Events Tab. This can be done a maximum of 20 times daily (counting wins across all of these types of matches).
- Clan Wars offers significantly more Gold per battle than any other permanent game mode depending on the league the Clan is in.
- Additional Gold can be earned during a Gold Rush Event. Destroying a Crown Tower would grant the player with additional Gold.
