Star points allow Clash Royale players to give their favorite cards a new look with cosmetic changes on the playing field. Players earn star points through three different methods. This guide will dive into those methods, explaining how players can upgrade their favorite cards' appearance on the battlefield.
Clash Royale - Star Points and Star Levels Explained
How to Get Star Points
Earning star points is very simple, with three different methods players can do. Players must tap the XP bar, changing the default blue emblem to gold behind the numbers of the current King Tower level. Once the emblem is gold, the player will receive star points for all the cards obtained when opening chests. The amount of star points given depends on the rarity of the card opened in the chest. Below is a table with the number of star points given depending on the card's rarity.
Card Rarity | Star Points Earned |
|---|---|
Common | 1 |
Rare | 10 |
Epic | 100 |
Legendary | 1000 |
Another method can be done by players who have joined a clan and donate cards to other members. The scale for rarity, however, is different from the table above. Instead of 100-star points per epic card donated, 10-star points are received for the donation.
As players move on to higher arenas, they will need to upgrade their troops and spells. This will also reward players with star points to eventually increase their star level, giving their favorite cards an elite appearance.
How to Use Star Points
As players collect star points over time, they will get enough points to see the fruits of their labor. Cards can have three different star levels to upgrade and give new personality to players' favorite cards. The star level can be upgraded as the level of those cards grows, with star level 1 being unlocked when any card is upgraded to level 7.
Star Level | Star Points Needed | Card Level |
|---|---|---|
1 | 5,000 | 7 |
2 | 10,000 | 10 |
3 | 20,000 | 13 |
Upgrading the star level will be separate from upgrading the level of the card and can be found on the bottom left of the upgrade pop-up window.
This can be done up to three times for certain cards, with others possibly being upgraded only once or twice. Players can collect up to 500,000 star points, which can only be used on Common, Rare, and Epic cards.
Clash Royale is available on mobile devices.
