Master Clash Royale chests! Learn about Silver, Golden, Crown, Super Magical, and Legendary chests, their drop rates, opening times, and the loot you can expect in each arena.

Chests are earned by winning battles in Clash Royale. There are various types of chests with different rarities and drop chances. Silver Chests are the most common, while Super Magical and Legendary Chests are the rarest. Higher arena levels and better chests yield more cards and upgrade points. You can hold a maximum of four chests at a time and will be warned if you cannot earn more. You can still battle to win trophies and crowns even with a full chest inventory.

Chests can also be purchased in the in-game store using Gems and can be opened instantly. Chests from different arenas offer different loot chances; for example, a Silver Chest from Arena 2 will have better loot than one from Arena 1.

You can only unlock one chest at a time. The different types of chests include:

Wooden Tutorial Chests and Free Chests

Wooden chests earned in training take 15 seconds to open and contain 14-16 gold and 2 random cards/upgrade points. These are not earned in proper arenas. Free chests, sometimes found in the Quests tab, are a type of wooden chest that contain more loot than tutorial chests and are better value than Silver Chests.
