HOW DO THEY WORK?
Unlock a Card Evolution by collecting Evolution Shards for that specific card.
Once unlocked, activate a card's Evolution in Battle by placing it in your deck's Evolution Slot.
In Battle, play a card with an Evolution a certain amount of times (cycles) before the Evolution activates.
Once the Evolution is ready to be played, players can deploy the Evolution into the Arena like any other card.
The Card Evolution will perform its upgraded attacks automatically like any other card - there is no Ability to activate.
Once an Evolution is played, the normal card is available to be played again You need to cycle the card again to activate the Evolution!
Shards? Slots? Cycles? What the heck are we talking about?! Let's go more in-depth on how things work...
EVOLUTIONS IN BATTLE
![CARD EVOLUTION × Clash Royale (6) CARD EVOLUTION × Clash Royale (6)](https://i0.wp.com/clashroyale.inbox.supercell.com/9jtsgmsiuthj/0b-T1X3xFUDrHK0iS-5RT-RB6vFVLhv6cR6LDkrX674/805afa0d8973e3e8e84503facdb5005c/1559870413_1686904282.jpg)
If you go into battle with a Card Evolution in one of your Evolution Slots, you will notice Dark Elixir drops appear on the top of the card in your hand. The amount of these drops show how many times you need to play the card (Cycle) before you are able to play the Evolution.
Once you have played the card enough times, you will see that all the Dark Elixir drops have been filled and the card’s Evolution is activated. The next time you play the card you will play the Evolution! Once an Evolution has been played, the card will return back to its default state and you can start the cycle again.
The opponent will be able to see an icon above your deployed card whenever you play a card that earns Dark Elixir.
Evolutions have a unique appearance as well as a purple icon next to their level, so they are easy to spot. Plus, they'll most likely be wreaking havoc in the Arena with their upgraded weapons!
EVOLUTION SHARDS
![CARD EVOLUTION × Clash Royale (7) CARD EVOLUTION × Clash Royale (7)](https://i0.wp.com/clashroyale.inbox.supercell.com/9jtsgmsiuthj/bUZ-ac7v67E1434tLI0MuyqfAco*kPQdoqBSscFl7B2Q/d149eedbd07b7cb58ed381145a40afa8/1517958542_1686908934.jpg)
You can unlock a card’s Evolution by collecting 6 Evolution Shards of that specific card.
Once you have collected all of a card's Evolution Shards, its Evolution will be unlocked!
Okay... it's time to start calling them Evo Shards for short.
HOW TO GET EVO SHARDS
Pass Royale (unlocks at King Level 7)
Season Shop (unlocks at King Level 8)
Challenges
The Shop
Level-up Chests after King Level 50 (every second Level-up chest)

WILD SHARDS
The Wild Shard Magic Item allows you to add 1 Evo Shard to a card of your own choosing. It can even be used to unlock the first Evo Shard for any card that has an Evolution!
How to get Wild Shards:

EVOLUTION SLOTS

Your first Evolution Slot will unlock at King Level 7.
To use a Card Evolution in your deck, you need to place the card that has the Evolution unlocked into an Evolution Slot in your deck.
If placed in any other slot on your deck, the card will function as normal, and the Evolution will not appear when that card is played.
We will be looking to add more slots in future as more Card Evolutions appear!

LEVEL 15 / ELITE LEVELS

We have added another Level, allowing you to make your cards even more powerful! The cool part? It doesn't cost Gold!
You can now progress to Level 15, which will be the Max Level.
EXCEPT IT WON'T BE!
Max Level is now known as Elite Level.
Upgrading to Elite Levels will not follow the same upgrade path as levels 1 to 14, which require Gold + Cards/Wild Cards/Books.
So... how do you get to Elite Level?
![CARD EVOLUTION × Clash Royale (12) CARD EVOLUTION × Clash Royale (12)](https://i0.wp.com/clashroyale.inbox.supercell.com/9jtsgmsiuthj/H0-B_zO7uwDYf-RHwkB1Z-U9DHPRE_xHiu-I7HgMI7s/10a5e81eb785b00e285bd50230dbe539/1756135012_1686730889.png)
ELITE WILD CARDS
A new Magic Item called Elite Wild Cards will be required to get Elite Levels.
You get Elite Wild Cards from your Level 14 cards!
All upgrades from level 14 to 15 will require 50,000 Elite Wild Cards and nothing else (!).
SO... HOW DO I GET ELITE WILD CARDS?
Path of Legends
Once a card has reached Level 14, any extra copies of that card collected will convert into Elite Wild Cards
Cards that are Level 13 or below can be collected indefinitely - any excess cards will convert to Elite Wild Cards once the card is upgraded to 14
The Shop
Magic Items
This can only be done if you have upgraded all of your cards of the corresponding rarity to 14.
Books will be converted one at a time, while converting Wild Cards will always consume the full stack.

We've added 3 more Arenas to the Trophy Road, and raised the total Trophy cap to 9000!
Alongside these 3 'new' Arenas (some of you might recognize them from past Seasons) we have added even more rewards to unlock. Nice.
NEW KING LEVELS & TOWER POWER
20 new King Levels have been added. King Level 70 is now the highest you can reach!
Tower Power 15 unlocks at King Level 54. This gives your Towers more Damage and Hitpoints!

CROWNS AND CHESTS FROM EVENTS
Last update, we removed the ability to earn Crowns and chests from Events (formerly Party modes).
Thanks to your feedback, we have now added these back, so you can fill your chest slots and progress your Pass Royale from playing Events!
NEW MASTERY TASKS
We have added a third Mastery Task for the following cards:
Royal Giant
Battle Ram
Battle Healer
Electro Wizard
Balloon
Musketeer
Complete these Masteries to earn big rewards!
MORE GOLD
We're giving the in-game economy a much needed boost with this update. The amount of Gold available is getting multiplied by 3!
All chests now contain 3 times as much Gold as before the update.

Fixed issue with Barbarian Barrel SFX
Fixed issue with Season Highest badges not updating correctly
Fixed issue with Elixir VFX when spectating

OTHER CHANGES
MASTERY REWARDS
We are replacing Gems with Gold for the final stage of a card's second Mastery Task. (Task 2, Mastery 3)
Why? One of our biggest bits of feedback is that players do not have enough Gold and see it as a bottleneck to upgrading their cards. By giving Gold instead of Gems we hope that this eases the current demand for Gold and makes it less of a scarce resource.
Changes per card rarity:
Common: 300 Gems >
5000 Gold
Rare: 300 Gems >
9000 Gold
Epic: 300 Gems >
15000 Gold
Legendary: 300 Gems >
18000 Gold
Champion: 450 Gems >
25000 Gold
