Mastering Clash Royale: A Comprehensive Guide to Managing Two Accounts
Clash Royale, the addictive real-time strategy game from Supercell, has captivated millions worldwide with its fast-paced battles and strategic depth. For dedicated players, one account might not be enough. Whether you want to experiment with different decks, support a lower-level clan, or simply enjoy a fresh start, managing two Clash Royale accounts can significantly enhance your gaming experience. This comprehensive guide provides a detailed, step-by-step approach to creating and managing multiple Clash Royale accounts on both Android and iOS devices.
## Why Manage Two Clash Royale Accounts?
Before diving into the how-to, let’s consider the reasons why you might want to manage two Clash Royale accounts:
* **Experimentation:** Having a second account allows you to try out unconventional decks and strategies without risking trophies or resources on your main account. This is especially useful when new cards are released or when the meta shifts.
* **Supporting Clan Members:** A second account can be used to actively participate in clan wars and donate cards, even if your main account has already reached its donation limit. This is particularly helpful for supporting newer or less active clan members.
* **Fresh Start:** If you feel stuck in a rut on your main account or want to experience the progression from the beginning again, a second account offers a fresh start without abandoning your original progress.
* **Learning Curve:** Playing on a second account can help you better understand the game’s mechanics and progression system. This can be particularly beneficial for new players or those who want to improve their strategic skills.
* **Time Management:** Splitting your playtime between two accounts can help you avoid burnout and keep the game fresh and engaging.
## Important Considerations Before You Start
* **Supercell ID:** A Supercell ID is essential for managing multiple accounts. It allows you to securely save your game progress and easily switch between accounts. Make sure you have a separate email address for each Supercell ID you create. Using the same email for multiple accounts can lead to confusion and potential account recovery issues.
* **Device Limitations:** While most modern devices can handle multiple accounts, older or less powerful devices might experience performance issues. Be aware of your device’s capabilities before creating a second account.
* **Time Commitment:** Managing two accounts requires a significant time commitment. Ensure you have enough free time to dedicate to both accounts without neglecting other responsibilities.
* **Fair Play:** It’s crucial to adhere to Supercell’s terms of service and fair play policy. Avoid using third-party apps or exploits to gain an unfair advantage. Doing so can result in account suspension or permanent ban.
## Method 1: Using Supercell ID (Recommended)
The Supercell ID is the most reliable and secure way to manage multiple Clash Royale accounts. It’s officially supported by Supercell and offers seamless account switching.
**Step-by-Step Guide:**
1. **Create a Supercell ID for Your First Account (if you haven’t already):**
* Open Clash Royale.
* Tap the three horizontal lines (Menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
* Tap “Settings”.
* Under the “Supercell ID” section, tap “Connect”.
* Follow the on-screen instructions to create a Supercell ID using a valid email address.
* Verify your email address by entering the verification code sent to your inbox.
2. **Create a New Supercell ID for Your Second Account:**
* Open Clash Royale.
* Tap the three horizontal lines (Menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
* Tap “Settings”.
* Tap “Connected” under the Supercell ID Section (it will show your currently connected email address).
* Tap “Log Out”.
* On the loading screen after logging out, DO NOT tap “Log in with Supercell ID” yet. Instead, begin the in-game tutorial. If you already completed the tutorial, go to settings and select “New Game.” Follow the instructions to create a new Clash Royale account.
* After completing the tutorial, tap the three horizontal lines (Menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
* Tap “Settings”.
* Under the “Supercell ID” section, tap “Connect”.
* Follow the on-screen instructions to create a NEW Supercell ID using a DIFFERENT email address than your first account.
* Verify your email address by entering the verification code sent to your inbox.
3. **Switching Between Accounts:**
* Open Clash Royale.
* Tap the three horizontal lines (Menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
* Tap “Settings”.
* Tap “Connected” under the Supercell ID Section (it will show your currently connected email address).
* Tap “Log Out”.
* On the loading screen, tap “Log in with Supercell ID”.
* Select the email address associated with the account you want to switch to.
* Enter your password if prompted.
* Confirm the account switch.
**Troubleshooting Supercell ID Issues:**
* **Verification Code Not Received:** Check your spam or junk folder. If the code still doesn’t arrive, try requesting a new one after a few minutes. Ensure you’re using a valid and active email address.
* **Forgotten Password:** Use the “Forgot Password” option on the Supercell ID login screen to reset your password. Follow the instructions sent to your email address.
* **Account Recovery:** If you’ve lost access to your Supercell ID email address, contact Supercell support for assistance. Provide as much information as possible about your account to help them verify your ownership.
## Method 2: Using App Cloning (Android Only)
App cloning allows you to create a duplicate of the Clash Royale app on your Android device. Each cloned app will function independently, allowing you to log in with different accounts. Keep in mind that not all Android devices support app cloning natively. You might need to use a third-party app cloning app.
**Step-by-Step Guide (Using Native App Cloning – Example: Samsung Devices):**
1. **Check if Your Device Supports App Cloning:**
* Go to your device’s “Settings”.
* Search for “Dual Messenger” or “App Twin” or “Clone Apps”. The exact name might vary depending on your device manufacturer and Android version.
* If you find a setting related to app cloning, proceed to the next step. If not, consider using a third-party app cloning app (see below).
2. **Clone the Clash Royale App:**
* Enable the app cloning feature for Clash Royale.
* Your device will create a duplicate of the Clash Royale app. This might take a few moments.
3. **Log in with Your Second Account:**
* Open the cloned Clash Royale app.
* Follow the in-game tutorial (if necessary).
* Connect the cloned app to a different Supercell ID.
4. **Switching Between Accounts:**
* Simply open the original Clash Royale app or the cloned Clash Royale app to access the corresponding account.
**Step-by-Step Guide (Using a Third-Party App Cloning App – Example: Parallel Space):**
1. **Download and Install an App Cloning App:**
* Search for “Parallel Space” or “Dual Space” on the Google Play Store.
* Download and install a reputable app cloning app with good reviews.
2. **Grant Necessary Permissions:**
* Open the app cloning app and grant it the necessary permissions, such as access to storage and network.
3. **Clone the Clash Royale App:**
* Within the app cloning app, select Clash Royale from the list of installed apps.
* Tap “Clone” or a similar option to create a duplicate of the app.
4. **Log in with Your Second Account:**
* Open the cloned Clash Royale app within the app cloning app.
* Follow the in-game tutorial (if necessary).
* Connect the cloned app to a different Supercell ID.
5. **Switching Between Accounts:**
* Open the original Clash Royale app or the cloned Clash Royale app within the app cloning app to access the corresponding account.
**Important Notes About App Cloning:**
* **Resource Consumption:** Cloning apps can consume significant device resources, such as storage space and RAM. This can impact your device’s performance.
* **Battery Drain:** Running multiple instances of the same app can drain your battery faster.
* **Compatibility Issues:** Some app cloning apps might not be compatible with all Android devices or app versions.
* **Security Risks:** Be cautious when using third-party app cloning apps. Only download apps from reputable sources and grant them only the necessary permissions.
## Method 3: Using Multiple User Profiles (Android 5.0 and Later)
Android’s multiple user profile feature allows you to create separate user accounts on your device. Each user account has its own storage space and app installations, effectively creating isolated environments for different Clash Royale accounts.
**Step-by-Step Guide:**
1. **Create a New User Profile:**
* Go to your device’s “Settings”.
* Search for “Users” or “Multiple Users”.
* Tap “Add User” or “Create New User”.
* Choose “User” or “Restricted Profile” (depending on your device’s Android version). If you choose “Restricted Profile,” you’ll need to configure which apps the new profile can access. If you plan to use Clash Royale on both profiles, ensure it’s enabled.
* Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the new user profile.
2. **Switch to the New User Profile:**
* Swipe down from the top of your screen to access the notification shade.
* Tap the user icon in the top-right corner.
* Select the new user profile you created.
3. **Install Clash Royale on the New User Profile:**
* Open the Google Play Store on the new user profile.
* Search for “Clash Royale” and install it.
4. **Log in with Your Second Account:**
* Open Clash Royale on the new user profile.
* Follow the in-game tutorial (if necessary).
* Connect the app to a different Supercell ID.
5. **Switching Between Accounts:**
* Swipe down from the top of your screen to access the notification shade.
* Tap the user icon in the top-right corner.
* Select the user profile associated with the account you want to access.
**Important Notes About Multiple User Profiles:**
* **Storage Space:** Each user profile consumes its own storage space. Ensure you have enough free storage on your device to accommodate multiple profiles and their associated apps and data.
* **Performance:** Running multiple user profiles can impact your device’s performance, especially if you’re running resource-intensive apps simultaneously on different profiles.
* **App Updates:** When you update an app on one user profile, it will also be updated on all other user profiles where the app is installed.
## Managing Multiple Accounts on iOS (iPad/iPhone)
Unfortunately, iOS doesn’t offer native features like app cloning or multiple user profiles in the same way as Android. The primary method for managing multiple Clash Royale accounts on iOS is through Supercell ID.
**Method: Using Supercell ID (The Only Viable Option for iOS)**
The process is identical to the Supercell ID method described above for Android. The steps are repeated here for clarity.
**Step-by-Step Guide:**
1. **Create a Supercell ID for Your First Account (if you haven’t already):**
* Open Clash Royale.
* Tap the three horizontal lines (Menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
* Tap “Settings”.
* Under the “Supercell ID” section, tap “Connect”.
* Follow the on-screen instructions to create a Supercell ID using a valid email address.
* Verify your email address by entering the verification code sent to your inbox.
2. **Create a New Supercell ID for Your Second Account:**
* Open Clash Royale.
* Tap the three horizontal lines (Menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
* Tap “Settings”.
* Tap “Connected” under the Supercell ID Section (it will show your currently connected email address).
* Tap “Log Out”.
* On the loading screen after logging out, DO NOT tap “Log in with Supercell ID” yet. Instead, begin the in-game tutorial. If you already completed the tutorial, go to settings and select “New Game.” Follow the instructions to create a new Clash Royale account.
* After completing the tutorial, tap the three horizontal lines (Menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
* Tap “Settings”.
* Under the “Supercell ID” section, tap “Connect”.
* Follow the on-screen instructions to create a NEW Supercell ID using a DIFFERENT email address than your first account.
* Verify your email address by entering the verification code sent to your inbox.
3. **Switching Between Accounts:**
* Open Clash Royale.
* Tap the three horizontal lines (Menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
* Tap “Settings”.
* Tap “Connected” under the Supercell ID Section (it will show your currently connected email address).
* Tap “Log Out”.
* On the loading screen, tap “Log in with Supercell ID”.
* Select the email address associated with the account you want to switch to.
* Enter your password if prompted.
* Confirm the account switch.
**Limitations on iOS:**
Unlike Android, you cannot use app cloning or multiple user profiles to run two instances of Clash Royale simultaneously on a single iOS device. You’ll need to log out and log back in each time you want to switch accounts. This can be a bit more time-consuming than the Android methods.
**Workarounds (Less Ideal):**
* **Use a Second Device:** The easiest workaround is to use a second iOS device (e.g., an iPad and an iPhone) and log in to each account on a separate device. This allows you to play on both accounts simultaneously.
## Tips for Managing Multiple Clash Royale Accounts Effectively
* **Prioritize Your Main Account:** Focus your efforts on your main account and use your second account primarily for experimentation or clan support.
* **Set Realistic Goals:** Don’t try to progress too quickly on both accounts. Set realistic goals and prioritize your time and resources accordingly.
* **Manage Your Time Wisely:** Allocate specific time slots for playing on each account to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy balance.
* **Take Advantage of Clan Wars:** Use both accounts to participate in clan wars and earn valuable rewards for your clan.
* **Donate Cards Regularly:** Donate cards to your clan members on both accounts to help them progress and strengthen your clan’s community.
* **Stay Organized:** Keep track of your account details, such as Supercell ID email addresses and passwords, in a secure location.
* **Consider In-App Purchases Carefully:** Avoid spending excessive amounts of money on both accounts. Focus on making smart strategic choices and earning rewards through gameplay.
* **Focus on Card Levels:** Prioritize leveling up key cards that are versatile and effective in multiple decks. This will help you climb the ladder and compete effectively.
* **Join Active Clans:** Being part of an active clan provides access to card donations, friendly battles, and valuable advice from experienced players.
* **Watch Replays:** Analyze your replays (and replays of top players) to identify areas for improvement and learn new strategies.
## Conclusion
Managing two Clash Royale accounts can be a rewarding experience, offering opportunities for experimentation, clan support, and a fresh perspective on the game. Whether you’re using Supercell ID, app cloning (Android only), or multiple user profiles (Android only), remember to prioritize fair play, manage your time wisely, and stay organized.
