Clash Royale is one of the most popular mobile games, and part of its popularity comes from the huge range of unique emotes that players can earn (or buy). If you’re wondering what the rarest emotes are–and if you have any of them–you’ve come to the right place! We’ll cover the most unusual and hard-to-get Clash Royale emotes, plus how to get them (and whether they’re still available).

However, a small number of players managed to obtain it through content creator giveaways.

   • How to get it: Little Prince Wink was briefly available in the Content Creator Marketplace, and some players got it from content creator giveaways.

Goblin Kissing Trophy
