Clash Royale: A guide to Evolution Shards and Wild Shards

BBG News

In June 2023, Clash Royale rolled out its Card Evolution update, and among the fresh additions to the game were Evolution Shards and Wild Shards. These two essential items are instrumental for the Card Evolution process within the game.

Although you might be pondering over the evolution process, this piece will primarily focus on understanding Evolution Shards and Wild Shards within Clash Royale, as well as providing a guide on acquiring them.

Even though you may wonder about the method for evolving cards in Clash Royale, this article is more about learning what Evolution Shards and Wild Shards are, and how to obtain them.

Introduction to Evolution and Wild Shards in Clash Royale

Evolution Shards serve as essential items that help in creating Evolution Cards and activating their exclusive Evolution skills on the battlefield. In order to start the process of card evolution, every Evolution Shard gathered must contribute specifically towards enabling the evolution of a specific card.

Wild Shards, unlike their counterpart Evolution shards, are versatile and can be utilized with any card you require. They can also be combined.

To evolve a specific card, you need to accumulate a certain amount of Evolution Shards that are exclusive to that particular card. Usually, six Evo or Wild Shards are required to initiate the evolution, which in turn reveals the card’s advanced form. These shards serve as the gateway to unleashing the card’s full power and bestowing it with extra abilities or strengths.

In the future, the progression of Card Evolution may involve top-tier cards. However, as of now, even the debut Valkyrie Evolution, which emerged in the Season 55 update of January 2024, remains the initial Rare Evolution and required six shards to be obtained.

Card Evolution system for shards in Clash Royale

In case your completely evolved card, which is less than level 14, accumulates more Evolution Shards than necessary, any excess shards will transform into standard cards associated with that specific unit type. The number of regular cards you get from these surplus shards depends on the rarity of the card itself.

The card numbers are as follows.

  • Common: 1000 Cards
  • Rare: 250 Cards
  • Epic: 40 Cards
  • Legendary: 4 Cards
  • Champion: 4 Cards

To put it another way, after you’ve advanced a specific Card through Card Evolution and keep gathering more Evolution Shards, any extra Shards that are no longer required for additional evolutions will be transformed into standard Cards instead.

If a card you’ve upgraded to level 14 or higher earns extra Evolution Shards, these excess shards will undergo a transformation process. Rather than saving up unused shards, they are converted into a particular number of Elite Wild Cards, with the amount depending on the rarity of the Card.

  • Common: 2000 Elite Wild Cards
  • Rare: 500 Elite Wild Cards
  • Epic: 80 Elite Wild Cards
  • Legendary: 8 Elite Wild Cards
  • Champion: 8 Elite Wild Cards

How to use Shards for Evolution in Clash Royale

This is a simple step, which can be followed without much of a hassle.

  • Go to your Card Collection menu.
  • Search for the Evolution Cards in the game, for example, Barbarian. Click on the Card.
  • In the mini menu, click on Upgrade.
  • You can see the Evolution menu beside Info. You can use it to check whether your card is eligible or not. If locked, it means you need to upgrade.
  • On the bottom of the menu, find the Magic items icon to open the list of items.
  • You will see the Shards, both specific Card Evolution as well as Wild Cards. You can combine or keep the shards separate and then utilize the upgrade for the evolution to finish.

How to get Evolution and Wild Shards in Clash Royale

It’s true that Clash Royale doesn’t make it simple to accumulate many shards. While this setup might appeal to players who spend money, I’d like to provide some options on how to acquire the shards so gathering them won’t feel laborious for you.

Here are some methods to get your hands on those elusive shards:

1. Chests: Win battles and open chests to earn a chance at receiving shards.
2. Clan Chest: Join or create a clan and contribute to the clan’s progress to receive shards.
3. Special Events: Keep an eye out for special events that offer shards as rewards.
4. Shop: Use gold to purchase shard bundles from the shop.
5. Achievements: Complete various in-game achievements to earn shards as rewards.

How to get Evolution Shards in Clash Royale

Evolution Shards offer several methods for acquisition. The optimal way to procure Evo Shards is via the Pass Royale. Once players reach King Level 7, they can upgrade to access Pass Royale, and each season guarantees at least one complete evolution for purchase.

Taking part in challenges and events can be an exciting journey, as it offers opportunities for you to earn shard fragments along the way.

The emergence of Season Shop brings along tokens as well. Each month, you’ll find a unique Evolution shard available for purchase, which can be bought up to three times at the costs of 5000, 10000, and 15000 season tokens respectively.

In summary, I recommend that you gather shards most effectively by attaining Level 50 as a King, which is facilitated by the Level-Up Treasures. While it may appear challenging for novice players, perseverance is key. You will be granted Level-up treasures at each level increment of two, and these prizes include Evo Shards among other rewards.

How to get Wild Shards in Clash Royale

Obtaining Wild Shards has two options: one is purchasing them from the Season Shop using 6000 Season Tokens, which you can buy only once. Another option is through the free tier of Pass Royale, where you’ll receive a Wild Shard upon reaching Tier 60. Both methods offer decent value for Wild Shards acquisition.

Players have the opportunity to acquire Wild Shards from the in-game store. Each individual player has access to two Wild Shards, and these can be claimed once by simply logging in. Additionally, players can procure Wild Shards through Events and Challenges within the game.

In the upcoming update, there’s a possibility that obtaining Clash Royale shards may be altered through new methods. However, for now, things will stay as they are. Should any changes occur, rest assured I’ll promptly update this information.
