Star Points

“Use Star Points to unlock cosmetics
for your cards!”

Star Points are a feature used to unlock cosmetic changes for Cards. Star Points can be spent to upgrade Level 7, 10, and 13 cards and give them Star Levels, but the player must be King Level 9. Cards with one Star Level glow bright gold while being deployed. Cards with more Star Levels have golden particle effects and golden clothing, armor, weapons, or other elements added to their sprites in battle. Star Levels do not have any effects on interactions; they are purely cosmetic. Almost all non-Champion cards currently have at least one Star Level, with some having two or three.

Obtaining

Players can obtain Star Points once they reach King Level 9. Star Points appear in the Experience bar on the top right and can be toggled to change between them. If you gain Experience when donating and upgrading Cards, you will gain Star Points for the same amount. Collecting max-Level Cards in any way (from Chests, trading, etc...) will award Star Points as well as Gold (1 for each Common, 10 for each Rare, 100 for each Epic, 1,000 for each Legendary, and 2,000 for each Champion)
Also, when Level 14 Cards are bought from the Shop, they are transformed directly into Star Points. Since the Cards overflown also convert to Gold, half of the Gold spent this way is refunded. This means for non-Legendary Cards, the player will get 1 Star Point for 5 Gold, but for Legendary Cards, you get 1 Star Point for 20 Gold.
If you use Trade Tokens to get Star Points instead of letting the Trade Tokens overflow and convert to Gold, it becomes cheaper than buying Star Points in the Shop (you get 1 Star Point for 1 Gold for non-Legendary Cards and 1 Star Point for 2 Gold for Legendary Cards).
However, Cards that the player has collected enough of to upgrade them to Level 14, but have not been upgraded to that Level, will not award Star Points.
