How To Recover Your Prized Clash Royale Account: A Comprehensive Guide
Losing access to your Clash Royale account can feel like a devastating blow. All those hours strategizing, battling, and upgrading – seemingly gone! But don’t despair, champion. In most cases, your account is recoverable. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the steps to reclaim your digital kingdom, offering detailed instructions and troubleshooting tips along the way.
The Short Answer: Getting Your Account Back
The quickest route to recovering your old Clash Royale account depends largely on whether you connected it to a Supercell ID.
-
If you have a Supercell ID: This is the easiest scenario. Simply open the game on your new device, tap “Login with Supercell ID“, and enter the email address you used to create the ID. You’ll receive a verification code to that email, and upon entering it, your account will be restored.
-
If you don’t have a Supercell ID: This requires contacting Supercell Support. Open Clash Royale (even if it’s a new account), go to Settings > Help and Support > Contact Us. Explain your situation, providing as much information as possible (player tag, clan name, approximate trophy count, last known login date).
Diving Deeper: Supercell ID – Your Best Defense
The Supercell ID system is designed for seamless account recovery and management across all Supercell games. If you haven’t already, creating a Supercell ID is the best way to protect your progress.
Setting Up Supercell ID
- Open Clash Royale.
- Go to Settings (the gear icon).
- If you see a “Disconnected” button under Supercell ID, tap it.
- Follow the prompts to register using your email address.
- You’ll receive a verification code in your email inbox – enter it into the game.
From now on, your Clash Royale account is linked to your email. This not only allows for easy transfer between devices but also simplifies the recovery process should you lose access.

- Open the game and proceed through the tutorial (if necessary).
- In the main screen, tap on the three lines (menu icon).

When Supercell ID Isn’t an Option: Contacting Support
If you haven’t linked your account to Supercell ID, don’t worry; recovery is still possible. You’ll need to contact Supercell Support through the in-game help system.
How to Contact Supercell Support
-
Open Clash Royale. If you can’t access your old account, a new account will automatically be created. This is fine.
-
Go to Settings.
-
Tap Help and Support.
-
Look for a “Contact Us” button. This may be in the form of a chat bubble icon in the top right corner or a button at the bottom of the screen. Due to frequent updates to the user interface, it is common for players to not see this button. If you do not see this button, follow the steps below.
-
Search for a common issue (e.g., “lost account”) in the help articles.
-
After reading the article, you should then see a “Was this helpful?” prompt. Select “No“.
-
That should lead to a “Contact Us” button.
-
Explain your situation clearly and concisely. Provide as much detail as possible, including:
- Your player tag (if you remember it).
- Your clan name.
- Your approximate trophy count.
- Your Town Hall level.
- Your last known login date.
- Any purchases you made on the account (include transaction IDs if possible).
- The name of the device you used to play on.
- The approximate date of the account creation.
Tips for Effective Communication with Support
- Be polite and patient: Support teams are often dealing with many requests, so being courteous will help your case.
- Provide accurate information: The more accurate the information you provide, the faster Supercell can verify your ownership.
- Be persistent (but respectful): If you don’t hear back within a reasonable timeframe (24-48 hours), follow up on your request. Do not flood them with messages.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Verification Code Not Received: Check your spam folder. Ensure you’re using the correct email address associated with your Supercell ID. If you’re still not receiving the code, try again later or contact Supercell Support.
- Forgot Supercell ID Email: Search your email accounts for messages related to Supercell ID or Clash Royale. This may help you identify the correct email address.
- Account Linked to the Wrong Email: If you accidentally linked your account to the wrong email, contact Supercell Support immediately. They will need to verify your ownership before making any changes.
- Lost Access to Email: If you can’t access the email associated with your Supercell ID, you’ll need to recover your email account first. Once you regain access to your email, you can then recover your Clash Royale account.
- Phishing Scams: Be wary of suspicious links or messages promising free gems or account recovery services. These are often phishing scams designed to steal your account information. Never share your personal information with untrusted sources. Learning more about game design and player behavior can enhance your gaming experience.
