Is Pass Royale worth $11.99? (honest breakdown)
Ever since Supercell raised the price of Pass Royale to $11.99, I’ve been both annoyed and skeptical about whether it’s truly worth it.
I still buy it — but this season I wanted to stop guessing.
So I did something most players never do:
I tracked every single reward I got from Pass Royale this season and calculated its real value.
Here’s what I pulled just from drops and boxes:
48 total drops
  • 12 one-star
  • 11 two-star
  • 18 three-star
  • 4 four-star
  • 3 five-star
5 Hero Boxes
  • 2 two-star
  • 3 three-star
Then I logged everything I received this season, including cards, wild cards, champions, evolutions, gems, gold, emotes — all of it.
After simplifying it into shop-equivalent values, here’s what Pass Royale gave me:
Card Value
  • 12,062 Common cards = $16.03
  • 1,973 Rare cards = $19.66
  • 198 Epic cards = $19.73
  • 12 Legendary cards = $11.88
  • 8 Evolution cards = $15.97
  • Hero Wizard = $14.99
  • 31 Hero Fragments = $2.32
  • 5 Champion cards = $9.99
Other Rewards
  • 3 Emotes = $7.50
  • 325 Gems = $3.25
Gold
  • 342,737 Gold = $112.49
The math:
Total value without gold: = $121.33 → 10.1× the cost of Pass Royale
Total value including gold: = $233.82 → 19.5× the cost of Pass Royale
Final verdict:
Even after the price increase, Pass Royale is still the best value purchase in Clash Royale by a massive margin.
Annoying price hike? Yes. Still worth it? Objectively, yes.
Let me know what you all think.
