Understanding the Clash Royale Chest Cycle

By Siusto Last updated Oct 18, 2017

You get a random chest each time you win a battle. There’s a maximum of four chests available, each of them having a set time before being unlocked.

These are the amount of time needed to unlock different chests:

Silver – 3 hours
Gold – 8 hours
Giant and Magical – 12 hours
Super Magical – 24 hours

Although you can spend gems to unlock a chest, it’s not wise to keep doing so. There is also a chest unlocking pattern in Clash Royale. A cycle goes through 240 chests before starting back at one.

Here’s how that pattern unfolds:
