  • Take part in the “New Year, New Fire” event by completing missions.

What is the Furnace?

For those who do not know it, the Furnace is a building card that spawns Fire Spirits — small fire units — while dealing splash damage. It is particularly useful for controlling the arena and can easily give you a strategic edge. The Evolved Furnace brings not only a visual upgrade but also boosted stats and abilities: it summons Fire Spirits even faster. It is a crucial element to optimize your deck!

How to take part in the “New Year, New Fire” event

This exclusive event lets you unlock the Furnace Evolution without spending a dime. The event ran from December 22, 2025 for two weeks, ending on January 5, 2026. Here is how it worked:

  1. Log in to Clash Royale: make sure to open the game during the event period, which generally takes place around the start of the year.
  2. Go to the events tab: once in the game, head to the dedicated events tab. There you found all the information about the “New Year, New Fire” event.
  3. Meet the requirements: the event asks you to complete missions to unlock the evolution — usually winning battles, using specific cards or collecting resources.
  4. Stack points: each completed mission earned you points on a limited-time reward track. Progressing through it — mainly by playing battles and earning crowns — was the way to collect the 6 Furnace Evolution shards needed to unlock the evolution for free.

The missions to complete

The missions are varied and sometimes a bit tricky. Here are typical examples you could encounter:

  • Win battles using the Furnace: this improves your mastery of the card while progressing in the event.
  • Defend effectively: using the Furnace to defend against enemy pushes can earn you a nice batch of points.
  • Collect resources: sometimes you were asked to collect cards or gems to advance in the event.

Do not waste time — focus on these missions! Plan your battles around the challenges to maximize your gains.

Tips to succeed

Although this is not an extraordinarily complex event, here are a few tips to help you unlock the Furnace Evolution quickly:

  1. Adapt your deck: include the Furnace in a deck that complements its strengths. Control decks work particularly well with buildings that spawn troops.
  2. Take your time: do not rush. Analyze your opponents and adapt your strategy — a premature attack could cost you a win.
  3. Play more games: the more you play, the more you learn. You will understand the game’s dynamics better and know how to make the most of your Furnace.
  4. Team up: if you are in a clan, do not hesitate to ask your clanmates for help. Swapping advice and playing together can help you progress faster.
