If you want to get ahead at Clash Royale, you need chests. They give you gems, card upgrades and gold, which you can use to improve your deck and beat your opponents. Here, we do a full run-down of the chests you can get in Clash Royale, when you can get them and what they might offer you.
Free Chests are the very vanilla-looking chests that you earn every four hours. You can stack up to two of them before opening them, and each one contains gold coins, 4 cards and occasionally gems. The better your rank in an arena you’re in, the better stuff you will get in the free chests.
Crown Chests unlock once every 24 hours, and once available, you must win at least 10 battle crowns to unlock it. These chests contain gems, gold and cards. As with free chests, the better your rank in an arena, the better stuff you are likely to get.
Silver Chests are earned by winning battles, and take 3 hours to unlock (or 18 gems). They contain gold, cards and sometimes gems. As a bonus, every time you go up an arena level, the gold and cards you receive increase.
Golden Chests are earned by winning battles, and take 8 hours to unlock (or 48 gems). They contain gold, cards and sometimes gems. As a bonus, every time you go up an arena level, the gold and cards you receive increase. Each Golden chest will contain a guaranteed 1-3 rare cards.
Giant Chests are earned by winning battles, but can also be bought in the shop. They take 12 hours to unlock (or 72 gems). They contain gold, cards and sometimes gems. As a bonus, every time you go up an arena level, the gold and cards you receive increase. Each Giant chest will contain a guaranteed 8-30 rare cards.
