Is there a way of getting a super magical chest or a legendary in Clash Royale?
There are many ways to obtain Super Magical Chest and legendaries. However, I'm assuming that you do not wish to pay a lot of money on this game, so I didn't include the option of purchasing Legendary King's chest. However, Legendary chests are a feasible option, so that's included below.
- Attempt to obtain the chest from battle.
You are guaranteed a Super Magical Chest, Legendary chest, and Epic chest every 500 chests. That means you have a 0.40% chance of obtaining a super magical/legendary chest from winning a battle. If you want to know EXACTLY when your Super Magical and/or Legendary chest will arrive, try royaleapi.com. Conditions: Arena 2 or above to get a Super Magical chest, Arena 7 or above for legendary chest - Purchase legendaries from the shop with gold
Occasionally, legendaries will appear in the shop, purchasable for 40 000 gold. This method is best if you want a specific legendary. Conditions: Arena 10 or above for legendaries to appear in the shop - Wait for the Legendary Chest Offer to appear in the shop
Occasionally, a Legendary chest will appear in the shop and can be purchased for 500 gems. This chest unlocks immediately and is limited to 1 per offer. (The offer will appear multiple times, however, usually every few weeks.) This chest guarantees 1 Legendary from any arena, but it's random, so it's best if you don't care what legendary you get. Conditions: Arena 4 or above (unverified) to receive chest offer - Try and get it from regular chests. Conditions: Arena 4 or above

With the latest update (10/9/2017), chests are now obtainable as a Points reward for completing quests, and can reward ANY chest obtainable from battle (except Silver), as shown in the Quests screen.

There are only a few ways to get them, but it's possible. The following are based on being in Arena 9:
Opening Super Magical Chests - Super magical chests are the highest quality chest in Clash Royale. They can be obtained by buying them for 4600 gems in the store, or getting a very lucky drop at the end of a battle.
Buying them from the shop - While rare, they will sometimes appear in the shop and costs 40,000 gold. This is actually a much better deal than the Super Magical chests because 40,000 gold is about 2,000 gems.
Other than that, there's not much to do. There is a better chance to get a Super magical chest drop as the higher your rank is, so just keep trying to climb and refine your deck to the meta.
Since you have put up a bounty and indicated that you are looking for the exact percentages of getting a legendary card drop, the formula for this can be found here:
% Chance = ((Cards in Chest * # Legendary)/# Commons)/Legendary Factor
On the page, there are more detailed breakdowns of the legendary chance based on Arena level and type of chest, which I believe is what you are looking for.
