What are Card Evolutions in Clash Royale?
A recent Clash Royale update introduced Card Evolutions to the game. Card Evolutions are ways to get new powers for cards you already own, “evolving” them into something better than the original.
The new update introduced four new Card Evolutions. These include Barbarian, Skeletons, Firecracker and Royal Giant. Evolutions will give these cards bonus effects that make them stronger.
For example, Barbarian will become “angry” with each hit, increasing their Hit Speed and Movement Speed. Firecracker gets upgraded weaponry which fires explosive sparks, dealing Area Damage and Damage per second.
Your first Evolution Slot will unlock at King Level 7. From this point on, you can start evolving any cards that have an evolution.

How do you evolve cards in Clash Royale?
To unlock a Card Evolution and evolve your cards in Clash Royale, you’ll need Evolution Shards for that particular card. You’ll need 6 Evolution Shards of that specific card to make it work.
How to get Evolution Shards
You can find Evolution Shards in Clash Royale in the Shop, Pass Royale, in the Season Shop, through Challenges, or Level-up Chests after King Level 50. You can use Wild Shards to add 1 Evolution Shard of your choosing, and these can be found in the Shop and Season Shop.
Once you’ve unlocked a card’s Evolution, you can add it to your deck’s Evolution Slot to use it. You will then need to play a card a certain number of times to trigger its Evolution effect. For example, Skeletons takes 3 cycles while Barbarian only takes 1 cycle.
Once triggered, the evolved card’s effects will automatically activate. You will then need to cycle the card again to activate the Evolution again.
That just about covers the basics of how to evolve cards in Clash Royale. You can find even more detailed information on the Supercell website if you’re keen to dive into all the specific update notes.
