What are the rare Clash Royale emotes?

In Clash Royale, one of the only ways for players to stand out from the crowd by communicating with your opponents is by using emotes or animations. Since the game release in 2016, Supercell has offered numerous emotes. Let's find out together the ranking of the best and rarest emotes on Clash Royale.

Top 10 rarest emotes in Clash Royale

Of the 225 available, 51 rare Clash Royale emotes are not part of the daily rotation of the shop. In fact, many of them can no longer be unlocked by the players, as they were linked to past events. Here are the top rare Clash Royale emotes to give you an idea of which ones are truly collectible:

1- King Champion of the Tournament: the rarest emote

When you see this emote at the start of a fight, be prepared to face a tough opponent. In fact, to unlock it, players must reach the top 200 at the end of a season. The Tournament King Champion is one of the rarest emotes in Clash Royale, and is reserved for the elite.

2 - Goblin Clash Royale League 2019

Getting the Goblin in the LRC colours was no easy task. Indeed, it required from the players 20 wins in the 2019 Clash Royale League challenge. Especially since the time frame to get it was very short, as this cosmetic item, among the best, was only available for a week.

3 - Royal Ghost and the Gem

When the trophy system was overhauled in 2017, Supercell offered this collector's emote to players who had won legend trophies.

4 - Goblin Trophy

Also in 2018, this exclusive emote from our top was the reward for watching the Clash Royale League finals by linking his Supercell players ID to his YouTube account.

5 - Bombardier 2020

Included in a pack with a chest and gold, the rare bomber emote where the bomber's glasses form the zeros of 2020 was available to players for about ten euros. Of course, it is impossible to get it since the end of 2020. So if you're one of the lucky collectors, there's no need to wonder which Clash Royale emote is really unique!

6 - Wizard and Ice Spirit Father Christmas, the santa emotes

These are the only Clash Royale Christmas emotes available. The Santa emotes were given away for free to players who played in December 2018.

7 - Pig with a red envelope

To mark the Lunar New Year of 2019, an event called Hog Race Challenge challenged players to complete a three-stage mission to unlock this emote. In the top 10 best rare Clash Royale emotes, this pig more than fits!

8 - Minor with a red envelope, the rare premium emote

Unlike its predecessor, the miner's emote with a red envelope did not require any conditions to be met in order to obtain it. What made it rare was without a doubt the price it cost in the shop. Indeed, it could only be acquired by buying a €50 pack, accompanied by a large amount of gold coins.

9 - Frippery with a cake

Sotie in March 2019 for Clash Royale's 3 year anniversary, the rascal with a cake could only be won by participating in the Content Creator Tournament, during only 2 days. And there you have it, privileged influencers even get the best and rarest Clash Royale emotes in our top!

10 - P.E.K.K.A with balloons

As for the rascal, the P.E.K.K.A with balloons was also unlocked for players participating in the Content Creator Tournament organised to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the game. This collector's icon represents the spirit of the game perfectly.

BONUS - The Chewing Grass Ram

The Grass Ram emote is one of the most popular unique emotes in the game, along with the Royal Ghost and its gem. Few players have it because you had to reach 15 wins during the Ram Rider Challenge when the card was released in Clash Royale.

With a limited number of trials for all players, this Challenge was completed by a small number of competitors. The rare Clash Royale Chewing Grass Ram emote is the only Ram emote available. However, you will no longer be able to purchase it because it is not available for sale.

That concludes this top 10 list of the rarest Clash Royale emotes. You now know the conditions for obtaining these cosmetic items.

Why are certain emotes and animation so rare and exclusive in Clash Royale?

People might ask, what is the definition of a rare emote or animation in Clash Royale? The rarest and exclusive emotes in Supercell's mobile video game combine several characteristics. They are unique and available only once, and never return to the game. If you miss them, you won't be able to get them back. It is the case of the exclusive Santa emotes, for example, released in december 2018.

Some of Clash Royale's legendary emotes can only be unlocked if players have successfully completed a specific, or even difficult, task requiring certain skills. Other emotes can also only be earned by paying, such as the ultimate Minor emote introduced in january 2020, or the Bombardier 2020 that can be earned for 10 dollars.

Some rare Clash Royale emotes and animations are so highly difficult to obtain that players may never have seen them before. Obtaining them is therefore almost impossible. 

When will we get more rare emotes for Clash Royale?

However, the majority of the best emotes and animations of the game were introduced before 2020 to the players. As for future emotes, three new emotes will soon be available. In fact, the global release of Clash Royale's emotes was in 2016.

We can only hope that the developers decide to add new ones soon to reward current players. That way, collectors eager for new items will be able to find what they want!
