Clash Royale grants players free cosmetic enhancements for their cards through Star Points and Star Levels. If you’re yet to explore these features, check out this guide that explains everything about Star Points and Star Levels in the game.

Just like Clash of Clans, Clash Royale is a free-to-play friendly game with a balanced meta. With common skills like the Zap, you can defeat Legendary units like Sparky and none of the cards feel overpowered.

Having said that, many gamers love spending on cosmetics, and the Clash Royale community is no exception. From tower skins to chests, you can purchase several items to improve the look and aura of your cards.

Interestingly, Clash Royale also grants free visual upgrades through Star Points and Star Levels, and here’s everything to know about them.

Moreover, you can tap on the XP bar in the top left corner of your in-game home screen and turn it into Star Points. This way, activities like donating and upgrading cards that used to grant you XP will hand out Star Points instead.

What are Star Levels in Clash Royale?

All cards in Clash Royale have 1-3 Star Levels that signify the number of times they can be upgraded through Star Points. For every card that supports them, Star Levels unlock at levels 7, 10, and 13.

Every time you upgrade a card’s Star Level in the game, it gets a unique visual upgrade such as golden armor and golden clothes. However, it is essential to note that these upgrades are purely cosmetic and not competitive.

In the image below, you’ll notice how some cards have three Star Levels and others two:
