AI Overview: Removed Clash Royale chests include the Super Magical Chest, Draft Chest, Free Chest and Silver Chest. Banners on the site say the old chest system ended in March 2025. This page shows what each chest gave, flags two odd lines in the old tables, names what replaced them, and keeps the full originals below for anyone who wants the exact old numbers.

- The old chest system was removed in March 2025.
- Lucky Chests and a Choice Chest replaced it.
Status Board: What Is Gone
Short answer. Every chest on this page is part of the old chest system. Banners on the site’s archive pages say that system was removed in March 2025.
Plain talk. Do not plan around anything in the tables below. They are history.
| Item | Old rule | Status |
| Super Magical Chest | One per 500-chest cycle | Gone |
| Draft Chest | League reward, pick one of two | Gone |
| Free Chest | One every 4 hours | Gone |
| Silver Chest | Most wins gave one | Gone |
| Gem cycles | Fixed pattern per chest | Gone |
What replaced them. Lucky Chests, and from July 2026 a Choice Chest where you pick one of two rewards. See the 2025 overhaul and why old drop tables no longer apply.
Super Magical Chest
Status: gone. You got one for every 500 chests in a cycle. The cycle began at 400 trophies and never stopped, even if you dropped below.
Free Chests and Crown Chests did not count. The cycle was only for the regular chests.
| Arena | Guaranteed Gold | Total cards | Guaranteed cards |
| Goblin Stadium | 900 to 1,260 | 180 | 6 Epics + 36 Rares |
| Builder’s Workshop | 2,340 to 3,276 | 468 | 15 Epics + 93 Rares |
| Legendary Arena | 3,420 to 4,788 | 684 | 22 Epics + 136 Rares |
The best-known pull. The original shows one player in Arena 4 opening 1 X-Bow, 1 Skeleton Army, 2 Giant Skeleton, 3 Freeze, 5 Witch, 72 Inferno Tower, 276 Hidden Tesla and 2,489 Gold.
A clash in the page. It says you could not get another chest for at least 499 chests, and in the worst case after 998. Both can be true, but the page never explains it. Treat the numbers as the writer’s.
Zoom out. A rare mega-chest is a promise. When it is removed, players remember the pull more than the odds. If new reward boxes arrive, expect the same urge to keep a jackpot slot.
Draft Chest
Status: gone. It was a league reward. You picked one of two offers. The lowest league was the first Challenger league at 4,000 trophies and the highest was Ultimate Champion at 6,400.
- First Challenger league: 1,919 to 2,121 Gold, 101 cards, 10 Epics + 50 Rares.
- First Master league: 4,769 to 5,271 Gold, 251 cards, 25 Epics + 125 Rares.
- Ultimate Champion: 9,519 to 10,521 Gold, 501 cards, 50 Epics + 250 Rares.
Legendary drop rate. A reader supplied rates from 29.2% in the first Challenger league up to 100% from Master III. This is a reader’s report, not official.
A flag. The original table shows 255 Rares for Grand Champion, which breaks the pattern of 5 more Rares per level of Epics. It is probably a typo for 225. The table also lists one Champion tier while the drop-rate list has three.
Free Chest vs Silver Chest, and the Gem Pattern
The claim. A writer said the free Wooden Chest gave him more Epics than Silver Chests. He had a Baby Dragon one day and a Witch the week before from free ones.
Why it was only a feeling. It was one player’s luck, plus screenshots from two lucky readers. No numbers were published.
The Gem cycle. A reader pulled it from a game file. Free chests gave 14 Gems over 24 chests. Crown Chests gave 60 Gems over 24. The writer worked out about 6 Gems a day in total.
Check the math. One free chest every 4 hours is 6 a day, so 24 free chests take 4 days: 3.5 Gems a day. Crown Chests give 2.5 a day. That adds up to 6.
Zoom in. Pattern posts are popular because they feel like cheating the game. The risk of any cycle is that people stop playing to wait for the right slot. When a system hides its odds, players try to decode it.
Final thought. If a new reward box gets a published odds table, trust that over a screenshot. For free-to-play help today, see ways to spend Gems and how to get Legendary cards after chests.

Okay so I have received a lot of questions about the Super Magical Chest in Clash Royale lately. Let’s take a look at this big baby today. I am going to explain everything about it for you!
Everything about Clash Royale Super Magical Chest
The Super Magical Chest contains a lot of more rewards than all other ones (Silver, Gold, Magical…). All chests in Clash Royale don’t drop randomly, they follow a certain pattern (you can read more at here), except this one, it is a little bit different.
Players get 1 Super Magical Chest for every 500 chests obtained through the regular cycle. The SMC has a chance of dropping anytime inside the 500 chest cycle once.
You will still remain on the cycle and you will not get another Super Magical Chest until the 500-chest cycle is finished. This 500-chest cycle starts once you reaches 400 trophies, which means you can’t get any SMC If you are always below 400. Once you got into the cycle, it never stops, even when you dip below 400 trophies.
For example, If you get the Super Magical Chest at the spot #1, you will remain in the cycle for the next 499 chests. You will not get anoter Super Magical Chest for at least 499 chests. In the worst case, you can receive the next Super Magical Chest after the next 998 chests.
- As normal, Free Chest and Crown Chest are not a part of SMC cycle.
- No matter when you get the SMC, It never reset the 500-chest cycle.

Older Page: Free Chest vs Silver Chest (Archive: Removed in 2025)
This is an older page that was merged here. The text below is kept in full. It was written between 2016 and 2022, so some details are out of date. The tips and numbers above use 2026 sources.
In Clash Royale, you can get Free Chest after every 4 hours and the Silver Chest after every win match (most of the time). We all think that the Silver Chest is better than the free one. But is it really true? No I don’t think so. Let’s discuss about this today guys!
Free Chest Vs. Silver Chest, which one is better?
Silver chest can be obtained after almost every Clash Royale win match and you can get the Wooden (Free) Chest for free after every 4 hours. For months, I have seen a lot of players can get good cards (Epic and even Legendary) in those Free Chests.
Most of my Epic Cards come from Free Chests, for sure. I got 1 Baby Dragon yesterday and 1 Witch last week from Free Chests. At least for me, Silver Chests rarely contain Epic. They have the same amount of cards but the chances to get good cards from Free Chests are higher. I can get at least 2 Rares from 4 chests everyday.
2 screenshots below were shared by AuzzieZiggy and PineappleBombs. They were extremely lucky! Oh I have no idea about this guys!
Do you agree with me about this guys?

We get Clash Royale Gems everyday via Free Chests and Crown Chest, but do you really know how exactly those Gems drop? I am gonna tell you this secret!
Clash Royale Free Gems Cycle
The secret is: Those Clash Royale Gems don’t drop randomly.
They follow a certain pattern! Thanks bellator_gaius very much for sharing this great information! Everything is located in the file globals.csv inside Clash Royale! Of course you just can’t modify it If you want to cheat this. Supercell is smart and it just doesn’t work.
Free Chest Gem Cycle
2 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> 2 -> 0 -> 0 -> 2 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> 2 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> 2 -> 0 -> 0 -> 2 -> 2 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0
So we get 14 Gems in total per 24 Free Chests cycle.
Clash Royale Crown Chest Gem Cycle:
2 -> 3 -> 2 -> 3 -> 2 -> 4 -> 2 -> 2 -> 2 -> 4 -> 2 -> 2 -> 3 -> 2 -> 2 -> 2 -> 2 -> 3 -> 3 -> 2 -> 3 -> 2 -> 3 -> 3
So we get 60 Gems in total per 24 Crown Chests cycle.
Which means, you can get up to 6 Gems every day in average.
I know lots of players don’t really care about this but it’s pretty cool to know this, right?
