Supercell’s Clash Royale tasks players with crafting the ultimate battle deck to take to the arena and outsmart their opponents in fast-paced 1v1 matchups.

There’s more to Clash Royale than just going head to head with your opponent, however, including upgrading cards and star levels.

So, find out exactly what star level does in Clash Royale below.

Clash Royale Star Level explained

Star levels in Clash Royale are purely for cosmetic purposes.

This means, upgrading a specific card’s star level will only alter its in-game visual appearance and nothing else.

Other than that, you will need a specific amount of Star Points to upgrade a card’s star level to a specific point.

How to earn Star Points in Clash Royale

There are two very specific methods of earning Star Points in Clash Royale.

Once your profile reaches King Level 6, you will have a chance to receive them from chests that you open.

The number of Star Points that you can receive from chests varies upon the rarity of the card that grants you points.

Apart from chests, you can also collect them by simply tapping on your XP bar and toggling it for Star Points.

By using this method, you will be able to claim Star Points whenever you donate and upgrade cards.
