In the world of Clash Royale, emotes are more than just animated expressions — they’re symbols of dedication, nostalgia, and elite status. Over the years, Supercell has released hundreds of emotes, but only a handful are truly rare. Whether earned through grueling challenges, limited-time events, or exclusive purchases, these emotes are badges of honor for veteran players. Let’s dive into the five rarest emotes in Clash Royale!
1. Royal Ghost Jammy Emote
The Ultimate Symbol of Old-School Mastery
This emote is widely considered the rarest in Clash Royale history. It was gifted to players who held Legendary Trophies under the old system before March 2017. To earn it, players had to surpass 3,000 trophies at season’s end — no small feat at the time — and carry that legacy through the game’s earliest competitive days. The Legendary Trophy system was removed, and with it, this emote became a mark of true OG status. If you see this emote, you’re facing a Clash Royale relic.
2. Kissing Trophy Emote
A Reward for Esports Pioneers
This emote dates back to CRL 2018, the first-ever Clash Royale League World Finals. Players received it for linking their Supercell ID and watching the finals live. Though relatively easy to claim, it was available for a very short time. It’s now a collector’s gem for those who were part of the game’s early esports scene.
3. Trophy King Emote
Only for the Elite of the Elite
The Trophy King emote is earned by finishing in the top 100 globally — a mind-blowing achievement that demands consistent dominance. No in-app purchase can buy this; only the most skilled players on Earth have it. It's one of the few emotes that scream "I’m on top of the ladder!"

4. 20-Win Challenge Emotes
Proof of Absolute Competitive Skill
Supercell’s infamous 20-Win Challenge emotes — especially from 2019 and 2024 — are reserved for players who reach 20 wins in one run. That’s a grueling climb with little margin for error. With success rates as low as 1 in 16,000, these emotes are serious bragging rights. Owning one shows that you’re among Clash Royale’s best.
5. Exclusive Ice Spirit Emote (2018)
A High-Priced, Limited-Time Holiday Deal
Released during a holiday bundle in 2018, this frosty Ice Spirit emote cost over $20 and came with a Legendary King's Chest and in-game goodies. Despite being purchasable, its steep price tag made many players skip it. Since then, it’s never returned to the shop, making it one of the rarest and most elusive cosmetic items in the game.
Honorable Mentions:
-
Lunar New Year Piggy Emote (2019) – A beloved classic that required clearing a tough three-stage event.
-
P.E.K.K.A Balloon Emote (2020) – A quirky reward from a limited YouTube tournament.
-
Battle Healer Cake Emote (2021) – Another exclusive earned through YouTube community events.
Final Thoughts
Clash Royale's rarest emotes are more than cosmetics — they're time capsules of the game's evolution. From limited-time events to ultra-competitive challenges, each one tells a story of skill, timing, or dedication.
