Clash Royale Dragon Surge Event Guide: How to get 3x Baby Dragon Evolution Shards for Free

The Clash Royale Dragon Surge Event has now started, letting players get amazing rewards like three Baby Dragon Evolution Shards, lots of Magic Chests, Gold Crates, Banners, and more. This event started on Monday, January 12, 2026, and will end on Monday, January 19, 2026, lasting a total of seven days.

During this period, you must play Clash Royale to earn crowns, which give you various free rewards at different tiers. Let's have a look at how the new Clash Royale Dragon Surge event works and what free rewards we can get by participating in this event.

How to play the Clash Royale Dragon Surge event

To get all the amazing rewards that this event has in store for you, all you need to do is play matches and earn crowns. You earn crowns by participating in matches. Depending on how many towers you destroyed and the number of your towers still standing, you get a certain amount of crowns. This is how it's calculated: 1x Number of enemy towers destroyed + 1x Number of self towers still standing.

Therefore, if you win a match with a score of 3-1, you will receive 5 crowns, as you destroyed three and protected two of your own. Moreover, you get five extra crowns on your first three wins of the day. You also earn one tower per round if you are playing the Merge Tactics game mode. The game mode received a major update last month as the Merge Tactics December 2025 Update rolled out with new Troops, Traits, and Modifiers.

Here is a list of all the Clash Royale game modes you can play to earn crowns from:

• Trophy Road
• Ranked
• Merge Tactics
• Clan War Battles (Training Day + Battle Day)
• Special Events
• Special Challenges
