Have you ever watched a YouTube video where someone opens 100 chests in Clash Royale and wondered how they got so many gems? What if I told you there’s actually a secret method that 90% of players completely ignore, and it could change how you play the game forever? Keep reading to discover all the ways to get gems, including that hidden technique at the end.
Gems are the shiny purple crystals that make everything in Clash Royale faster and better. Think of them as magical coins that can buy you almost anything in the game. You can use gems to open chests instantly, buy gold, get more cards, and even purchase special offers in the shop.
But here’s the thing: gems cost real money if you buy them directly. However, there are many ways to get them completely free if you know what to do.
Free Daily and Weekly Gem Sources
Crown Chest Rewards
Every day, you can earn a Crown Chest by winning battles and collecting crowns. Each crown comes from destroying an enemy tower. When you fill up your Crown Chest (which needs 10 crowns), you’ll get cards, gold, and sometimes gems too.
The Crown Chest gives you gems randomly, but it happens often enough to be worth doing every single day. Just play a few battles, win some matches, and you’ll fill it up quickly.
Free Chests in the Shop
Every 4 hours, a free chest appears in your shop. This chest doesn’t cost anything, just tap it and claim your reward. Sometimes these free chests contain gems along with cards and gold.
Set a reminder on your phone to check the shop every few hours. It’s like finding free money on the ground, but in your game.
Season Pass Rewards
The Season Pass (also called Pass Royale) has a free track that every player can use. As you play matches and earn crowns, you move up the free track and get rewards. Many of these rewards include gems.
You don’t need to buy anything to use the free track. Just keep playing and collecting crowns, and you’ll automatically get these rewards.
Special Events and Challenges
Special Challenge Events
Supercell (the company that makes Clash Royale) regularly creates special challenges. These are like mini-tournaments where you play specific rules or use certain cards.
When you win matches in these challenges, you get great rewards. The better you do, the more gems you can earn. Even if you’re not the best player, you can usually win a few matches and get some gems.
Global Tournament Rewards
Global Tournaments happen regularly and let all players compete for amazing prizes. You get rewards based on how many wins you achieve.
The cool part is that even players who only win a few matches still get gems. The more you win, the more gems you get, but everyone gets something.
Clan War Rewards
If you’re in a clan, you can participate in Clan Wars. When your clan does well in wars, every member gets reward tokens they can use to claim prizes from the Clan War shop.
This shop often has gems available for your war tokens. It’s teamwork that pays off with free gems for everyone.
Smart Gem Management Strategies
Achievement Rewards
Clash Royale has many achievements you can complete by playing normally. Things like “win 100 battles” or “donate 1000 cards to clanmates” give you gem rewards when finished.
Check your achievement list regularly and try to complete the easier ones first. These gems add up quickly over time.
Special Offers and Events
Sometimes the shop has special offers where you can get gems using gold instead of real money. These offers don’t appear often, so grab them when you see them.
Also, during special events like holidays, Supercell often gives away free gems just for logging into the game. Always check the game during special occasions.
The Secret Method Most Players Ignore
Here’s the secret technique I promised: Gem value optimization through patience.
Most players waste their gems on small things like speeding up chests that only take a few hours to open. But smart players save their gems and only spend them on the most valuable offers.
The best gem values usually come from:
- Special holiday offers that give you way more than normal
- Emote deals during events
- Emergency gold purchases when the shop has a card you really need
By waiting and only spending gems on these high-value moments, your gems go much further than other players who spend them immediately.
Daily Habits for Maximum Gems
Getting gems consistently requires building good daily habits. Here’s what successful players do every day:
First, always collect your free chest from the shop. Second, play enough battles to fill your Crown Chest. Third, participate in any active challenges or special events. Fourth, check your achievements to see what’s close to completion.
These simple habits take less than 30 minutes per day but can earn you hundreds of gems each month.
The key to getting lots of gems in Clash Royale is consistency and patience. Free gems are everywhere in the game, but you need to actively collect them every day. Start with the daily chests and Crown Chest, join challenges when they appear, and always save your gems for the best deals.
Remember, the players with the most gems aren’t necessarily the ones who spend money, they’re the ones who consistently collect all the free gems available and spend them wisely.
