▶️ Best Hero Equipment Upgrade Guide (for Every Hero)
You know, Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans can feel like Netflix recommendations. Too many options, half of them useless, and you just want to know which one to actually commit to.
One wrong level upgrade, and you successfully wasted weeks of ore-grinding. Let's be real, Ores farming is the most hardest thing in Clash right now (No, attacking isn't hard if you know the right attack strategies).
So here’s our no-BS breakdown of what to upgrade for each hero. Spoiler: you don’t need everything maxed to crush bases.
Barbarian King — Mr. Outside, Unless…
Most of the time, King chills outside the base doing his thing. But if you kit him right, he actually matters.
Top picks:
-
Spiky Ball (must-have, aim for level 21+)
-
Snake Bracelet (super meta in high-level play)
Don’t have Snake Bracelet? Chill. Go with Earthquake Boots instead and send him inside the base like a wrecking ball. Basically, Spiky Ball + one of those = King not being dead weight.
Archer Queen — Our Drama Queen (and MVP)
She’s the diva of Clash. Versatile, deadly, and honestly, she carries half our wins.
What’s worth upgrading:
-
Healer Puppet (most people already have this maxed—if you don’t, fix that)
-
Action Figure (epic, mandatory)
-
Magic Mirror (great combo with Action Figure)
Optional but clutch in Legends League: Giant Arrow. Helps when bases get sneaky with invisibility towers.
Hot take: Frozen Arrow? Trash now. Don’t waste ores on it.
Grand Warden — The Chill Guy
Warden is weird. His gear depends on your army style. But honestly, you don’t even need to overthink him.
Commons are enough:
-
Healing Tome
-
Eternal Tome
That combo works for basically everything except fireball strategies. Save your ores for King/Queen/RC instead. Think of him as that one friend who’s happy with just two pairs of sneakers forever.
Minion Prince — Side Character Energy
Right now, he’s best with dragon armies. But truth bomb: you don’t need to sink ores into his stuff early. His common equipment already does the job.
Unless you’ve maxed other heroes, don’t bother rushing his epics. He’s like the backup singer—good to have, not essential to the show.
Royal Champion — Speed Demon ⚡
RC charge got nerfed a bit, but she’s still insane with the right toys.
Priority gear:
-
Electro Boots (works with ANY army, not just RC charge)
-
Haste Vial (if you’re impatient and want her zooming)
-
Rocket Spirit (for the patient pros running fewer invis spells)
Avoid Hog Puppet. Dies faster than goblins in front of a multi-inferno.
You Can TRIPLE Even Without Max Equipments/Armies
All this is fine, but...
You don’t need one hero or his/her equipment maxed out while the rest are running around naked. Spread your upgrades. A level 25 RC Boots or level 23 Snake Bracelet >>> a single maxed item while everyone else is stuck at level 5. Balance makes your attacks cleaner.
And no, you don’t need every shiny epic maxed to start tripling bases. That’s where our Master Classes come in. Pro players break down armies and tricks so simple that even if you’re a total noob, you’ll start pulling 3-stars like it’s casual farming. The best part? We don’t teach you “just max your gear and pray.” We teach actual skill. Which means you can win against max bases even if your heroes, troops, or spells aren’t fully maxed out.
