The resources

Learn about Elixir, Gold, and Gems in Clash Royale. Understand how to use and earn these vital resources for upgrading cards and more.

Elixir

Elixir is used like Mana in card games to deploy cards and use spells in battle. Elixir regenerates over time in battle after you have used some of it, and you can regenerate up to a max of 10 Elixir at any given time in battle. Different cards may have different deployment costs. You will want a good balanced deck with a mixture of low and medium costing cards with a couple of higher costing ones; if you only use mostly high costing cards in a Battle Deck, you may end up getting overwhelmed by your opponent as you will struggle to deploy cards on the battle field at a consistent rate.

Gold

Gold is obtained from chests that you open, from donating upgrade points/cards in clans, and from winning battles (you can get gold from up to 20 wins a day), or by buying them with Gems in the in-game store. They are used for upgrading your cards to make them more powerful and better in battles. Gold can also be used to buy new cards that you do not yet have or to buy card upgrade points for already existing cards you have in the in-game store. Gold is also needed to create your own Clan within the game. You can hold a max of 1,000,000 gold. Gold is also used to buy cards and Epic Chests in the store.

Gold reward scales by each arena and league, with a maximum of 20 rounds of gold earned each day from wins in ranked play and tournament play.

Gold Rush Events

Sometimes 1v1 Ladder will have limited time Gold Rush Events running where you play to win bonus gold from destroying Crown Towers. You can win up to 5,000 Gold in each Gold Rush Challenge.

Gems

Gems are the premium currency within the game. They have a chance of being obtained from chest opening and can also be purchased in the in-game store using real money through micro-transactions. Gems are used to buy Gold and Magical, Giant, Super Magical and Legendary Chests from the in-game store and to speed up chest opening. As well as that, Gems are also used to host your own tournament or to join a challenge. You also start off with a bunch of free Gems when you first join the game to get you started. You can also earn some extra Gems from completing the achievements in the game. You can also earn small amounts of Gems from Free chests that you get every four hours and from your Crown Chest.

Gem Rush Events

Similar to Gold Rush Events, sometimes 1v1 Ladder will have limited time Gem Rush Events running where you play to win Gems from destroying Crown Towers. You can of course only win a set amount same as with Gold Rush Events.
