Rush Royale is a fast-paced real-time tower defense game that relies on building a powerful deck to defeat your opponent. In the game, there are a number of currencies that are required to help you progress, obtain and level up your cards. Magic dust is one of the most important in-game currencies when you start to approach the higher arenas. In this article, we will take a look at all of the different ways that you can obtain magic dust, what it is needed for, and where to find your balance.

What is magic dust?

Magic dust in Rush Royale is a special resource in the game that can be used to obtain legendary cards. Once you collect 1000 magic dust you can go to the store and exchange it for a random legendary card.

Magic dust cannot be used to unlock legendary cards you have not unlocked through the arena progress. The legendary card is random by default but you can add faction cores to increase the chance of obtaining a legendary unit from a specific faction. After using the faction cores in the exchange they will be deducted from your account.
