Star Chests are a kind of chest that will give you the most valuable rewards in the game. They only contain Super, Ultra, or Ultimate Characters, or unlock new Characters.
You can open these chests in a separate tab that is placed at the centre of the home screen.
You'll need to collect Star Tokens, a game currency, in order to open Star Chests. You can get Star Tokens by Evolving Characters, claiming Rewards, or purchasing them with Coins.
Prices
The first 3 chests you buy have a reduced price (20, 50 and 100 tokens), but after that, the price is 500 Star Tokens per chest.
| Chest | Price |
|---|---|
| 1st | 20 Star Tokens |
| 2nd | 50 Star Tokens |
| 3rd | 100 Star Tokens |
| 4th+ | 500 Star Tokens |
The current exchange rate is 1 Star Token for 300 Coins, so buying a full Star Chest (500 tokens) costs 150,000 Coins.
Star Tokens from Evolutions
Whenever you evolve a troop, you receive Star Tokens based on the tier of that evolution.
| From | To | Star Tokens |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Babies | 1 Classic | 10 |
| 10 Classic | 1 Super | 20 |
| 10 Super | 1 Ultra | 30 |
| 10 Ultra | 1 Ultimate | 40 |
By collecting and evolving 10,000 Babies (1 Ultimate), you earn 12,340 Star Tokens.
Save your upgrades!
If you have troops available to be evolved, it seems advisable to save them for after the update. The rewards you get from 1 Star Chest (500 Star Tokens) are better than those of 5,000 Portal Energy in the World Journey.
Star Tokens from World Journey
In total, there are 750 Star Tokens from Green World to Squad League.

Star Chest Contents
We've mentioned that Star Chests contain Super, Ultra, or Ultimate Characters, but how likely is it to get each of these rewards?
Unlock Characters first!
If there are new characters you can obtain but haven't unlocked yet, we advise you to save your Star Chests for now.
Star Chests give a lot of weight to unlocking characters, 40%! Unlocking a character isn't going to help your progression much, and over time, you are guaranteed to unlock characters by opening normal chests.
Buying chest tickets and opening many chests is the best way to unlock new characters, and will guarantee you obtain more valuable rewards from Star Chests.
Ultimate characters will be extremely rare. If you have already unlocked all characters, on average, for every 1,000 Star Chests you open, you get:
- 884 Super Characters
- 110 Ultra Characters
- 6 Ultimate Characters
This means that on average you'll need to open 167 Star Chests to get an Ultimate Evolution from them.
Star Chest Drop Probabilities
If you have characters available to unlock:
| Reward | Probability | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Character Unlock | 40.00% | 400 |
| Super Evolution | 58.00% | 580 |
| Ultra Evolution | 1.90% | 19 |
| Ultimate Evolution | 0.10% | 1 |
Once you unlock all available characters:
| Reward | Probability | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Super Evolution | 96.67% | 580 |
| Ultra Evolution | 3.17% | 19 |
| Ultimate Evolution | 0.17% | 1 |
On top of this, there is a bad luck guarantee! If you open 9 chests and only get Super Evolutions, your 10th chest is guaranteed to contain an Ultra or Ultimate Evolution:
| Reward | Probability | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra Evolution | 95% | 19 |
| Ultimate Evolution | 5% | 1 |
Taking all these probabilities and constraints into account, the final expected rewards are the ones listed earlier.
Of the 6 Ultimate Evolutions you expect to get over 1,000 chests, 4 come from these "Bad Luck chests" and 2 from normal Star Chests.
Other Star Chest details
- Star Chests can only unlock characters you have available based on your Squad Level. You can't unlock characters from worlds you haven't reached yet.
- Once one of your characters is in Ultimate evolution, it is considered "maxed" and cannot drop again in Star Chests.
- If all your characters are "maxed", you can't open Star Chests.
- The odds for getting Super/Ultra/Ultimate are generally constant and not dependent on your collection. The only changes to drop rates happen when you unlock all the characters or when you collect all the Ultimate evolutions available.
