Star Levels in Clash Royale are a cosmetic upgrade for maxed-out cards that begin at King Level 6. They don’t offer any competitive edge but improve the visual appeal of the cards.
There are three Star Levels, each requiring a certain number of Star Points to unlock. Star Level 1 needs 5,000 Star Points and adds a deploy effect with a golden banner around the card.
To reach Star Level 2, you need 10,000 Star Points, which introduces more cosmetic changes to the card. Finally, Star Level 3 requires 20,000 Star Points and gives the card a complete golden makeover.
You can earn Star Points by donating or receiving maxed-out cards, opening chests, or tapping the XP bar. The number of Star Points you get depends on the card’s rarity, with Legendary cards offering the most points at 1,000 points per card.
