Getting Evolution Shards for Card Evolution in Clash Royale is an important element to strengthen your deck. This new upgrade mechanic for the Clash of Clans spinoff gives your Cards boosted stats and new abilities. At the time of writing, only Barbarian, Skeleton, Firecracker, and Royal Giant can be evolved. To unlock a Card Evolution, you will need six Evolution Shards of that particular Card. But there are also Wild Shards that can be used as a replacement for any Card you like. Accordingly, let’s go over the best way to get Evolution and Wild Shards.
Clash Royale: How to Get Evolution and Wild Shards
Clash Royale provides its players with four different ways to get Evolution Shards:
- Pass Royale
- Challenges
- Path of Legends
- Level Up Chests
The best way to get Evo Shards in Clash Royale is by completing Pass Royale, which is unlocked once you reach King Level 7. But free-to-play players can try to clear out Challenges and Path of Legends to obtain them. For players that have reached King Level 50 and above, you should also try to keep leveling up too. Because for every two levels up, you should be able to get a Level Up Chest containing the Shard.
Meanwhile, Wild Shards can be acquired from these four sources:
- Shop
- Season Shop
- Events
- Challenges
The in-game Shop will give out two Wild Shards for free just by logging in. And if you have leftover Season Tokens from Pass Royale or Events, you can spend them on the Season Shop for Shards too. The Season Shop should be unlocked once you reach King level 8. Lastly, don’t forget to keep an eye out for Events and Challenges that reward you with Wild Shards.
With that in mind, farming King Levels, Challenges, and Path of Legends is the best way to get Evolution Shards in Clash Royale. For Wild Shards, you will want to do your best when clearing out Events and Challenges. Events can reward you with Shards and Season Tokens that you can use at the Season Shop. Remember that Season Tokens gained from Events depend on your performance in matches. You will acquire 100 Season Tokens per Crown Tower destroyed, and one Token per Elixir dropped.
Clash Royale is available on iOS and Android mobile devices.
