Crystals

Earn Chests to obtain Gold, Gems, and Cards. Chests won from battles must be unlocked before you can receive their contents. Unlocking a chest takes a certain amount of time. Alternatively, the wait can be skipped using some Gems, or hastened using boosters from the Shop. Each player has four chest slots, so you can only have up to four chests waiting at a time. It is still possible to battle when your chest slots are full, but no chests will be won, only Gold and Crowns. Chests always contain cards from the Arena the player earned them in and below and/or cards the player has already unlocked, except for Legendary Chests, which can contain a Legendary Card from any Arena. Unlocking a new Arena (apart from the Legendary Arena) adds new Cards to the Chest rewards — none are taken out.

## Card Rarity

The rarer a card is, the less likely it is that a given chest will award an extra card of that rarity.

* Rare Cards are about 10 times rarer than Common Cards.
* Epic Cards are about 20 times rarer than Rare Cards and about 200 times rarer than Common Cards.
* Legendary Cards are about 20 times rarer than Epic Cards, about 400 times rarer than Rare Cards and about 4000 times rarer than Common Cards. Source
* Any chest besides Legendary Chests can contain Epic Cards.
* Any chest from P.E.K.K.A's Playhouse (Arena 4) or higher besides Epic Chests can contain a Legendary Card.
* Check out Pixel Crux's Card Chance Calculator to find out the probability of getting cards of a given rarity in a certain chest.
