Elite cards in Clash Royale are a new level for all cards that can be unlocked with Elite Wild Cards. Elite Wild Cards are a new in-game currency that can be used to upgrade cards to level 15, which is the Elite level. Unlike the original progression system from level 1 to level 14, where players need to collect a certain amount of cards based on the units rarity and then spend a certain amount of Gold on upgrading the unit to a new level, upgrading to Elite levels only requires Elite Wild Cards. All upgrades from level 14 to level 15 require 50,000 Elite Wild Cards, and no Gold is needed. Elite Wild Cards are universal and dont belong to a specific unit. Players can get Elite Wild Cards for free by progressing through the Path of Legends mode, and some reward stations in this mode will include Elite Wild Cards. Players can also buy these cards from the in-game shop using gems. The conversion tables for Elite Wild Cards and how to earn them are available on the official Clash Royale website.
