Star levels are an exciting way of flexing higher-level cosmetics on the in-game characters.

Once you reach King Level 6, you will be able to earn Star Points, which can be used to increase your Clash Royale Star Levels. Obtaining enough Star Points to level up every character card takes time. As a result, we recommend that you only improve the Star Levels of cards you often utilize in your decks. Some cards can only be improved to level two or three, while others can only be upgraded to one star. More Clash Royale star levels are planned to be released in future releases. Until then, star level three is the highest level attainable in the game for just a few characters.

How to earn Star Points in Clash Royale?

There are several ways to earn Star points in Clash Royale. Once you reach King Level 6 on your profile, you can get Star points from opening chests. However, the number of Star Points you get from a chest depends upon the rarity of the card, which will grant you the points.

Here’s a chart that shows the number of Star Points you can earn depending on the rarity of the card you receive it from.

What do Clash Royale star levels reward?

Star Levels in Clash Royale exist purely for aesthetic reasons. Increasing the star levels just makes the characters' in-game appearance change. It doesn't affect their health, HP, or damage. So more stars don't mean that the card is more powerful. It simply means the character in that specific card has different cosmetics. To upgrade a card to a specific level, you'll also require a specific amount of star points. The cost of upgrading a card's star levels (star points) is the same for every card on a given star level.

FAQs

A. Star levels are just for cosmetic reasons. If a card gets more stars, then only the aesthetics of the card changes. There is no change in HP. But upgrading a card will do more damage as it increases the HP.
A. Star level 1 doesn't do anything, as they're purely for cosmetic reasons. All cards must have level 1 to start with. After that, some have two or three stars.
A. P.E.K.K.A. stands for "Perfectly Enraged Knight Killer of Assassins." This name was derived from a Facebook contest held by Supercell on 22 August 2012. The character with the most likes and comments was the winner.
