Clash Royale: A detailed guide for Magic Items

As a seasoned Clash Royale player with years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia when I come across articles discussing Magic Items in the game. Each one transports me back to moments of excitement and anticipation, whether it was unlocking my first Chest Key or finally obtaining a Card Boost Potion from a Special Challenge.


On April 5, 2021, Clash Royale received a significant update that brought in a familiar feature from Supercell’s other game, Clash of Clans: Magic Items. These new items allow players to instantly level up their cards or swiftly open chests. In this article, I will explain the ins and outs of these Clash Royale Magic Items and provide tips on how to use them effectively.

Understanding Magic Items in Clash Royale

In Clash Royale, magic items are an essential element, borrowing from Supercell’s hit mobile strategy game, Clash of Clans. These items offer a quick solution for players who prefer not to spend much time waiting for upgrades or opening chests. Magic items have gained popularity due to their ability to expedite the upgrade process and allow players to concentrate on other game aspects.

Players with a King Level of 4 or higher have the ability to obtain Magic Items. The number of Magic Items you can carry is determined by your King Level and serves as a limit. By purchasing Magic Items from the shop, you may exceed this limit. Upgrading your cards effectively increases your chances in close battles by granting you these items. You can acquire them through various methods such as Chests, Pass Royale, Trophy Road, Challenges, and Shop Offers.

Guide to Magic Items in Clash Royale

Wild Cards

Wild Cards serve as substitutes for any card during upgrade progress. When working on upgrading a specific card but lacking a few required cards, these wild cards become useful. Essentially, they can stand in for any unlocked card, though their usage is restricted based on your King Level and the rarity of the Wild Card.

Clash Royale: A detailed guide for Magic Items

Based on my personal experience playing this game, there are several ways to acquire new cards. I’ve found that chests are a reliable source, especially the ones located on the Trophy Road and in Special Challenges. Additionally, shop offers can provide some great deals for specific cards, and collecting enough wild cards from Free and Pass Royale chests can get you pretty far in upgrading your deck.

To Note:

  • If you are near his/her storage cap and collect a stack of Wild Cards, he/she can collect the wild cards over their storage cap. Similarly, if you have maxed his/her inventory and collect a stack of Wild Cards, then the cards will be automatically converted to a random card of the same rarity.
  • If that random card is already maxed, then you will receive the Gold equivalent, similar to how it is now when you receive cards for any of their maxed cards.

Maximum Wild Card Limits at each Arena

Instead of “Here’s a table for the Arena/Wild cards by King Level, showing the number of cards needed for each rarity,” you could say “Below is a table displaying the quantity of Arena and Wild cards required for each rarity based on your King Level.”

Common

  • Maximum Number allowed: 50-5000

Wild Cards function as upgrading tools for Common cards. However, accumulating enough Wild Cards to upgrade Commons can be quite a feat. The quantity of collectible Wild Cards is determined by the specific Arena you’re engaged in.

Rare

  • Maximum Number allowed: 20-1000

Rare cards in the game can be enhanced with Wild Cards as upgrades. However, with 200 such cards to obtain, it poses a challenge even for free-to-play players. The amount of collectible Wild Cards is determined by the Arena level you have reached.

Epic

  • Maximum Number allowed: 2-200

In simpler terms, there are certain types of Wild Cards that can enhance Epic cards. The number of Wild Cards you can accumulate is determined by the Arena level you have reached.

Legendary

  • Maximum Number allowed: 1-20

In simpler terms, Wild Cards used for enhancing Legendary cards have specific types. The quantity of these Wild Cards you can amass in the game is determined by your Arena level. Up to Hog Mountain (Arena 10), players are restricted to carrying just one such card.

Elite Wild Cards

  • Maximum Number allowed: 400,000
Clash Royale: A detailed guide for Magic Items

The recent update, referred to as the Card Evolution change, brought about the addition of Elite Wild Cards in the game. These cards belong to the Wild Cards category but provide a more immediate way to advance from Level 14 to Level 15. You can acquire them through various means including card overflow at Level 14, shopping deals, and Special Event Challenges.

The amount of regular Cards you get from extra Shards is determined by the Card’s rarity. Here are the corresponding Card numbers:

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

Book of Cards

As a gamer, I can tell you that using magical items in our game instantly grants us the necessary cards for an upgrade. However, it’s essential to remember that these upgrades don’t come free of charge. We need to have enough gold on hand to afford the upgrade we desire. The value of this book truly shines when we choose to upgrade cards from Level 12 to Level 13. This is particularly beneficial when we’ve just recently upgraded a card to Level 12 and want to immediately advance it further.

Clash Royale: A detailed guide for Magic Items

Based on my years of experience playing strategy games, I strongly recommend utilizing the Book of Cards on troops or buildings that undergo lengthy upgrade processes to reach their optimum levels. These items pack a greater magical punch compared to Wild Cards. However, keep in mind that you can only wield one Book of Cards at once. Obtaining these valuable resources is possible through Shop offers or in the realm of Free Royale.

To Note:

  • The maximum limit does not change at the King levels.
  • If you try to collect a Book and you are over the limit, you’ll get a Warning for the same.
  • If you proceed, your book will be converted to its overflow value.
  • All the books give 100 Gems for overflows.

Book of Books

  • Maximum Number allowed: 1

In simpler terms, the “Book of Books” serves as a common representation for all cards, unlike the “Book of Cards” which is categorized based on rarities. This means that any troop or building can make use of “Book of Books,” regardless of rarity requirements. However, upgrading a card still necessitates having sufficient Gold.

Magic Coin

  • Maximum Limit allowed: 1

The Magic Coin acts as an accomplice to the Book of Cards/Book of Books. While the Book provides you with the necessary cards for an upgrade, the Magic Coin supplies you with the essential gold to finish that enhancement.

Based on my gaming experience, I strongly recommend using Magic Coins to upgrade a card to its maximum level without dipping into your hard-earned Gold reserves. Picture this: you’ve been playing for hours, grinding away to save enough Gold to upgrade that one card. But then, out of the blue, you use a Magic Coin instead. Instantly, that card jumps to its final level, and the feeling of relief and satisfaction is indescribable!

To Note:

  • The maximum limit does not change at the King levels.
  • If you try to collect a Magic Coin and you are over the limit, you’ll get a Warning for the same.
  • If you proceed, your Magic Coin will be converted to its overflow value.
  • All the books give 100 Gems for overflows.

Chest Key

Clash Royale: A detailed guide for Magic Items
  • Maximum Number allowed: 5-10

Currently, Chest Keys aren’t considered essential for most players. It takes the longest key 24 hours to unlock a chest, and not every player has enough 24-hour chests (Legendary Chests and Mega Lightning Chests) in their inventory to make it worthwhile.

Despite this, having a Magic Item of this kind is beneficial. It allows you to open any chest instantly without using gems. You can acquire Chest Keys through Special Challenges, shop deals, or both the Free and Pass Royale. Any excess Chest Keys are transformed into 100 Gold pieces each.

Maximum Chest Key Limits at each Arena

Here is the table showing the Arena Chest Key limits for each King Level in Clash Royale:

King LevelArena Chest Key Limit
4 to 85
96
107
118
129
13 to 1510

Card Boost Potion

  • Maximum Limit allowed: 8

An upcoming Magic Item is called the “Card Enhancement Potion.” This item temporarily elevates a card’s level to align with your King Tower Level for an hour, much like Pass Royale’s Level Boost. Obtaining these potions is not common; they can only be acquired through Special Challenges and Shop deals.

Wild Shard

  • Maximum Limit allowed: 6

Similar to Elite Wild Cards, Wild Shards came into play together with the cards. These function similarly to Evolution shards and are interchangeable with any card you require. They can even be used simultaneously. Wild Shards can be acquired for free through the Shop, Events, or Challenges.

As an avid fan of Clash Royale, I’ve compiled all the information about magic items in this guide for you. Bear in mind that with each new update bringing potential additions to magic items, I’ll make sure to keep this list current. For now, enjoy and master the existing magic items!
