Shadow Fight 3 features three major types of currencies - Coins, Gems and Shadow Energy. In addition to this, special currencies exclusive to an event may also be introduced from time to time. Each type of currency is obtained in different ways and is used to fulfill a special purpose.
Primary Currencies[]
Coins[]
A bag of Coins
Coins are the most common type of currency in the game. They can be obtained as rewards from main and side quests as well as duels and Secret Fights, opening chests, marathons, battle passes and Lucky Board minigames. Additionally, players will be rewarded with extra coins as a reward for special conditions (e.g., perfect, highest combos) on some fights (mostly from the main/side quests, Secret Fights, and Faction Wars fights). Event fights do not give extra coins. Alternatively, players may convert some of their gems into coins from the in-game store. Coins are used for buying and upgrading items from the daily store. When starting a new game, players start with 900 coins.
Gems[]
A bag of Gems
Crimson, diamond shaped gems are a premium currency which can be obtained as rewards from boss battles as well as daily missions and Transformation quest fights, marathons, battle passes, Lucky Board minigames and duel seasonal rewards. In addition, they can also be bought from the store via in-app purchases. They are much rarer than coins, and can be used for buying and upgrading items from the daily store as well as opening Booster Packs and chests, or customizing the base character. Rare Booster Packs in all chapters can be bought for 100 gems while Epic Booster Packs cost 400 gems and Legendary ones can be obtained for 2,000 gems. When starting a new game, players start with 90 gems.
Shadow Energy[]
A Shadow Energy can
Shadow Energy is a type of currency which is used to upgrade equipment. It can be bought from the shop with coins at a considerably high price. Shadow energy also can be obtained by winning any fights, be it main quests or missions, Secret Fights, marathons, battle passes, Lucky Board minigames, opening chests and claiming Bonus cards. Additionally, stacking an equipment piece that is already owned will give the player an amount of shadow energy. Players will gain more if the said item is upgraded, and even more with higher item's rarity. Players can use them for upgrading items via the player's equipment section and cannot be utilized for any other purpose.
Shadow Energy can be obtained by stacking the equipment that the player already has and if the item was upgraded (power increased) by this way. However, it is not obtainable by upgrading items through the shop and marathons. The stronger the item power, the more shadow energy will be given. The player also can obtain Shadow Energy through various activities rewards like quest rewards, chest drops, marathons, events, and the Battle Passes. When starting a new game, players start with 150 shadow energy.
- Common item: Gives 1 shadow energy
- Rare item: Gives 5 shadow energy
- Epic item: Gives 50 shadow energy
- Legendary and Unique items: Gives 300 shadow energy
Event Currencies[]
These currencies are available during an event and are only valid at that event. All accumulated event currencies will be reset at the next event launch.
Tokens[]
Tokens are a special type of currency which were first introduced during the Chinese New Year 2018 event. They act as main rewards for defeating the final stage or round of an event fight. The number of tokens awarded may vary, depending on the event itself. These tokens can be used to purchase event packs in the shop section.
Tickets[]
Tickets are used to participate in event fights. Tickets can be obtained through an event fight that reward tickets, marathons, battle passes, offers or can be bought for few gems in the shop.
Trophy Coins[]
Trophy Coins are a unique type of special currency that appears and gets used during certain events. Trophy Coins can act like both tickets or tokens.
Threat Tokens[]
Threat Tokens are used to enter a new level of "Threat System" events. The player can obtain Threat tokens by participating in event fights.
Lucky Tickets[]
Lucky Tickets
Lucky Tickets are a special currency that are used for spins in the Lucky Board minigame. Players can obtain them from certain event fights (if the event features Lucky Boards like Maze of Immortality or Creepy Party), or purchase them at the shop for a few gems.
Fair Tickets
A more expensive and valuable variation of Lucky Ticket called the Treasury Ticket (or currently called Fair Ticket) sometimes appears with a more rewarding Lucky Board that usually features certain sets (e.g. Destroyer of the Epochs set) as its main reward. These tickets are very limited and expensive than the normal Lucky Ticket (can be bought for 1 ticket for 1000 gems, 3 tickets for 2500 gems, 6 tickets for 4500 gems or for real money in the shop offer section).
Even though it is usually known as Lucky Ticket, the names of this currency can vary over time (e.g. Stash Ticket, Moon Ticket, Mark of the Damned), depending on the event it holds.
Other Currencies[]
Crystals[]
Crystals are used to increase the level of Perks and Special Moves. They can be obtained from Void Chests, marathons, in-game offers or duplicate compensations. Magmium can also be obtained after winning Void Raid battles.

Moreover, Emporium Tags also have many variations, depending on the event being held. These Tags are different from the regular Tags, and they can only be obtained through the in-game shop or event marathons/battle passes.
Raid Tokens[]
Raid Tokens can be obtained by defeating a Level 6 raid boss on the 1st island. The player can use these tokens to buy upgrade resources, exclusive perks etc. in the Raid Shop section.
During certain events, special raid bosses with special raid tokens also come.
Trivia[]
- According to the game's storyline, Shadow Energy is a very precious and expensive resource, as is revealed during Chapter I when Gizmo becomes extremely rich by selling his cache of Shadow Energy for a huge amount of money.
- At the conclusion of the Sanguine March event, all spare Trophies in possession of the players were transferred to the next event (the Blossom Festival) instead of converting into coins.
- The name "Trophies" was changed to "Tokens" in a later update.
