In this guide, we show you all the ways you can get Evolution Shards in Clash Royale. These will help you unlock one of the many Card Evolutions available!
In Clash Royale, Card Evolution is an in-battle upgrade system that will provide your cards (granted that they have an Evolution form) with enhanced stats, unique animations, and new abilities.
This 'upgrade' is temporary and will last as long as the unit is on the battlefield. Once they're eliminated, you'll need to play the card a certain number of times to activate the upgrade again.
To unlock a card's Evolution form, you will need six Evolution (or Evo) Shards of that specific card. Unfortunately, getting your hands on them can be a challenging task for many players as these Shards are a rare in-game currency. Fortunately, there are a handful of proven ways that'll make it easier.
How to Get Evolution Shards in Clash Royale
A variety of options are available, and players will simply need to play the game to unlock Shards. It may prove to be difficult as Evolution Shards are extremely rare.
There are six ways you can get Evolution Shards in Clash Royale. This includes:
- Unlocking Evolution Shards at the start of the paid Pass Royale reward track (unlocks at King Level 7)
- Completing Challenges and Events
- Opening Lucky Drops
- Purchasing them from the in-game Shop
- Progressing through the Trophy Road
- Earning them on the King's Journey (Every second level after King Level 50)
Earning Evolution Shards for a fully evolved card below Level 14 will convert the extra Shards into several regular cards for that unit type. You will earn 1,000 Common Cards for each extra Evolution Shard for a card above Level 14.
Earning Evolution Shards for a fully Evolved Card level 14 or above will convert the extra Shards into a number of Elite Wild Cards. You will earn 1,000 Elite Wild Cards for each extra Evolution Shard for a card above Level 14.
How to Get Wild Shards in Clash Royale
Besides Evolution Shards, there are also Wild Shards. When used, this will allow you to add one Evolution Shard to a card of your choosing. It can also be used to unlock the first Evolution Shard for any card that has an Evolution.
You can get Wild Shards at the Shop and Season Shop in Clash Royale.
