Ranking all the Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans (April 2025)
Supercell has added two new pieces of equipment for the Archer Queen and the Barbarian King, bringing their current total tally of Hero Equipment to seven. We also got a new Hero in one of the recent updates called the Minion Prince, who also has four Hero Equipment. The Royal Champion and the Grand Warden also got one new equipment each, taking their total tally of Hero Equipment to six.
Trending
Here's the rank of each of these Hero Equipments in Clash of Clans:
30) Barbarian Puppet (Barbarian King)
Kicking off this list is the Barbarian Puppet. Although it offers satisfactory health regeneration and a commendable Hitpoint boost of 3060 at the highest level, the spawned Barbarians are inconsistent. Furthermore, the Hitpoint increase may not be as beneficial for the Barbarian King, given that he already has one of the highest in the game.
With superior alternatives on the horizon, this Hero Equipment proves to be less universally applicable.
29) Archer Puppet (Archer Queen)
Next up is the Archer Puppet. Despite the buff in the last balance change, this Hero Equipment has hardly been used in the Clan Games and other battles. The summoned Archers tend to vanish quickly, particularly when facing strong defenses like Scattershots, which limits their effectiveness to only a few strategies.
That said, this Hero Equipment does provide a respectable increase in damage per second (DPS) of 144 and a health boost of 440 at its maximum level. It can continuously summon five Archers every second for up to 6.5 seconds at the highest level, totaling 35 Archers. Consequently, this Equipment could rank higher on the list if the Archer Queen is utilized in a Queen charge strategy, where she can assist in taking down defenses.
28) Royal Gem (Royal Champion)
Claiming the 28th position is the Royal Gem, tailored for the Royal Champion. Initially, it was renowned for its DPS increase of 105 and Hitpoint enhancements of 380.
However, with the release of new Hero Equipment such as Haste Vial and Hog Rider Puppet for the Royal Champion, the usage of Royal Gem has massively decreased, leading to its downfall in popularity.
27) Life Gem (Grand Warden)
The Grand Warden's Life Gem comes in at number 27 on this list due to its limited usage.
This Hero Equipment grants a substantial Hitpoint increase of 441 at the highest level to the Grand Warden. However, its limited DPS increase of 66 is less effective against strong defenses in Clash of Clans, like Single Target Tower and Monolith.
26) Metal Pants (Minion Prince)
Metal Pants is a cool Hero Equipment that creates an orb of energy around the Minion Prince, helping him reduce any damage he has suffered. However, while it increases the Prince’s powers, helping him turn a little more tanky, it cannot save the Prince from the might of the Electro Dragons, Dragon Riders, and other overpowered troops in the game.
The Metal Pants equipment also does not increase the DPS of the Minion Prince. Therefore, equipping this Hero Equipment to the prince when you have more potent pieces of Hero Equipment for him is a dumb choice to make.
25) Lavaloon Puppet (Grand Warden)
While the community was incredibly excited about the Lavaloon Puppet of the Grand Warden, it failed to match the expectations. Being launched back in October 2024, this was the second Hero Equipment of the Grand Warden after No Strings Attached. Since Lavaloon was among the most popular troops of the Mashup Madness event, the community was excited to see how it worked with the Grand Warden.
However, the Hero Equipment has disappointed the community, as it is one of the worst Hero Equipment for the Warden. The Lavaloons are too slow to take down any defense buildings, adding almost nothing to your Multiplayer Attacks. So when you use this Hero Equipment, you are wasting a slot that can be used to get Warden better equipment in battles.
24) Vampstache (Barbarian King)
At the 24th position is the Vampstache, tailored for the Barbarian King. With an impressive healing rate of 300 per hit and an added attacking speed boost, this Hero Equipment stands out for its self-sustaining capability.
The collaboration created by the Vampstache's ability to make the Barbarian King attack faster, consequently healing more rapidly, is undeniably potent. However, Barbarian King already possesses the highest HP in the game and has much better Hero Equipment at its disposal. Thus, Vampstache is placed at the 24th position.
23) Action Figure (Archer Queen)
The Action Figure Hero Equipment is one of the latest Hero Equipment of the Archer Queen. When equipped, it helps the Queen to summon Giant Giant that has 10x stats of a normal Giant Troop. However, despite being a piece of new equipment, we could not find much use for it on the battlefield.
The problem with this Giant equipment is that the Giant is a slow mover, and it is also hard to combine it with the existing equipment of the Hero. Thus, this list ranks this equipment in the 23rd position.
22) Seeking Shield (Royal Champion)
Securing the 22nd position is the Seeking Shield, which is designed for the Royal Champion. Praised for its classic yet effective ability, this Hero Equipment allows players to eliminate four defenses selectively.
Although its proficiency in clearing specific structures like Singel Target Inferno enhances raid planning, its placement in the thirteenth position is due to the presence of better options in the Clash of Clans universe.
21) Snake Bracelet (Barbarian King)
The Snake Bracelet is one of the worst Epic Hero Equipment items in the game. While it got some great stats, including helping to increase the Barbarian King’s movement speed, DPS, and Hitpoints, there is almost no other Hero Equipment that can complement its powers in the battle.
Yes, the snakes can be a great distraction at times, and you can use the Rage Vial or any other Hero Equipment with the Snake Bracelet to increase the King’s HP, helping to make him more tanky. However, despite such benefits, the nominal increase in DPS and HP is not worth the Ores you have to invest in the equipment to make it better.
20) Healing Tome (Grand Warden)
In the 20th position is the Healing Tome, a Hero Equipment with exceptional healing capability. It offers a consistent healing rate of 150 per second, surpassing the traditional Healing Spell.
However, the nerf in the September balance changes that healing duration by 20% reduced the overall effectiveness of this Hero Equipment. Furthermore, its situational use in conjunction with the Eternal Tome impacts its overall versatility, placing it in the twentieth position in the Clash of Clans Hero Equipment ranking list.
19) Invisibility Vial (Archer Queen)
The Invisibility Vial is ranked as the 19th best Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans due to its impressive boosts and strategic advantages. With a substantial DPS increase of 1740 and an additional 700 hitpoints, this equipment significantly enhances the Archer Queen's combat effectiveness.
At the maximum level, the Invisibility Vial grants 7.8 seconds of invisibility, allowing the Archer Queen to avoid being targeted by defenses. This enables her to quickly destroy any building or troop within a few shots, making it easier to snipe critical defenses or targets.
Despite such amazing stats, the Invisibility Vial is ranked at 19th because it can be completely replaced by the Magic Mirror equipment of Archer Queen. The Magic Mirror does exactly what the Invisibility Vial does, but better. It creates two clones of the Queen and makes them invisible for a brief period while increasing HP and extra damage. Therefore, upgrading the Invisibility Vial can feel like wasting your Ores. However, despite such shortcomings, it is still a potent hero Equipment and you can use this equipment until you unlock the Magic Mirror.
18) Hog Rider Puppet (Royal Champion)
The Hog Rider Puppet ranks 18th in the Hero Equipment ranking due to its unique and strategic utility. This equipment summons Hog Riders to aid the Royal Champion, granting her a brief moment of invisibility. While this invisibility provides a tactical advantage, its utility diminishes when combined with the Fox Spirit pet, which also renders the Royale Champion invisible in battle.
The summoned Hog Riders also distract enemies, allowing the Royal Champion to focus on attacking. However, the potential of this equipment is constrained by its dependence on timing and the relatively small number of Hog Riders summoned initially.
While it offers significant value in certain situations, it falls short of higher-ranking equipment due to its somewhat situational nature and limited impact compared to other options.
17) Rage Vial (Barbarian King)
The Rage Vial holds the 17th position in this ranking. While it remains a formidable piece of Hero Equipment for the Barbarian King, certain aspects contribute to its placement in the middle tier.
First, the Rage Vial boasts an old yet effective ability, providing the Barbarian King with a trio of benefits: a damage boost, increased speed, and health regeneration. Combining these attributes can significantly enhance the Barbarian King's effectiveness in battles, allowing for sustained attacks and improved survivability.
However, the availability of better options places it at this spot on this list.
16) Rage Gem (Grand Warden)
The Rage Gem holds 16th place on this list due to its limited application and the prevalence of more universally effective Hero Equipment. While providing a significant 50% damage boost for the Grand Warden, its single-target application limits its effectiveness compared to the broader coverage of traditional Rage Spells.
The inability to stack with a Rage Spell also hinders its overall versatility, making it less universally applicable in Clash of Clans raids.
15) Henchman Puppet (Minion Prince)
The Henchman Puppet of Minion Prince works almost similarly to how the Hog Rider Puppet works for the Royal Champion. This is one of the best defensive Hero Equipment items in the game. It helps in making the Minion Prince invisible for a brief period while summoning high-level minions as distractions. This equipment also helps in boosting the DPS of the hero, helping him clear enemy buildings easily.
14) Frozen Arrow (Archer Queen)
Frozen Arrow claims the 14th position in Clash of Clans' Hero Equipment hierarchy for several reasons. As the only Epic rarity equipment for the Archer Queen, it offers exceptional utility by slowing enemy troops by an impressive 65% at its highest level upon contact.
This deceleration enables the Archer Queen to effectively and relentlessly target adversaries, significantly enhancing her survivability on the battlefield. Unlike its counterpart, the Giant Arrow Hero Equipment, Frozen Arrow operates as a passive ability, eliminating the need for activation while consistently delivering invaluable benefits throughout the entirety of the attack.
Despite such amazing benefits, the Frozen Arrow has slightly drifted out of the meta due to the Archer Queen AI constantly switching targets in crucial moments. While this is a passive ability, and can help you slow down defenses, using this equipment becomes a lost cause the moment Archer Queen starts attacking collectors, resource storages, and other buildings instead of trying to kill the opponent’s CC Troops and attacking their defenses.
13) Haste Vial (Royal Champion)
The Haste Vial, the latest Hero Equipment of Royal Champion, ranks 13th in Clash of Clans' Hero Equipment due to its temporary nature and relatively modest benefits. This ability grants the Royal Champion a 16% increase in attack speed and a noteworthy 88 DPS boost at its highest level while imbuing her with enhanced speed upon activation, making her one of the swifter troops in the game.
However, its drawback lies in its short duration, which swiftly expires, leaving behind only a standard damage buff. Consequently, while the Haste Vial offers immediate advantages in battle, its limited duration and lack of sustained impact in Clash of Clans relegate it to a lower position in the Hero Equipment ranking.
12) Rocket Spear (Royal Champion)
The Rocket Spear is ranked as the 12th best Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans due to its specific use cases and limited application during raids. As the first epic piece of Hero Equipment for the Royal Champion, it offers impressive stats at the highest level, including the ability to target defenses from a long range of 10 tiles, deal up to 980 damage per spear, and inflict splash damage over a short radius of 0.8 tiles.
However, its effectiveness is constrained by the need to find clustered defenses for optimal activation. This limitation reduces its overall versatility and impact, making it less useful in a variety of raid scenarios compared to other equipment. Thus, it is placed in the 12th position in the overall Hero Equipment ranking.
11) Giant Gauntlet (Barbarian King)
Claiming the 11th on this list is the Giant Gauntlet, the first Hero Equipment of Epic rarity in Clash of Clans.
With an activation ability that transforms the Barbarian King into a formidable giant, the Giant Gauntlet endows him with extraordinary area damage, increased health, and self-healing capabilities, rendering him nearly invincible. This heroic transformation allows him to effortlessly dismantle defenses, targeting crucial structures such as the Eagle Artillery or Inferno Towers.
Beyond its activation, the Giant Gauntlet provides a lasting boost to the Barbarian King's damage and attack speed for 17 seconds at its maximum level, amplifying his potency in regular form.
The Giant Gauntlet's unparalleled versatility and raw power make it an indispensable asset for both offensive and defensive strategies, solidifying its well-deserved 11th position as one of the best Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans.
10) Giant Arrow (Archer Queen)
The Giant Arrow ranks 10th on this list. While it offers a notable stat boost for the Archer Queen and the potential for substantial damage with its unique arrow ability, its overall effectiveness is somewhat hindered by the need for precise and skillful deployment.
The damage potential of the Giant Arrow is undeniable, with a significant stat boost and the ability to deal 1950 Total Damage at its maximum level. However, the situational nature of this Hero Equipment requires a high level of skill to ensure optimal usage. In most cases, players find it difficult to strategically time and place it on the battlefield.
9) Healer Puppet (Archer Queen)
At 9th place is the Healer Puppet, lauded for its significant boost to the Archer Queen's Hitpoints and its addition of three level-seven healers. However, this Hero Equipment faces constraints due to the situational spawning of healers and the potential awkwardness of their initial placement.
The Healer Puppet will be placed higher if the player decides to use the Queen Charge strategy because of its notable healing benefits. However, its limitation in other Hero-based strategies justifies its placement in this rank.
8) Fireball (Grand Warden)
Fireball Hero Equipment takes the 8th position in this ranking. It is made for the Grand Warden and boasts an impressive total damage of 4,100 at level 27, which can decimate almost all the defensive buildings.
However, the Fireball has limited synergy with other Grand Warden Hero Equipment, making it tougher to fully utilize on the battlefield. Thus, it is placed eighth in the Clash of Clans Hero Equipment ranking.
7) Noble Iron (Minion Prince)
The Noble Iron is among the first Hero Equipment of the Minion Prince. It is passive equipment that can help in increasing the Prince’s speed, range, and power. While the Minion Prince already deals a lot of damage, using this Equipment with the Henchman Puppet can provide a considerable boost to the Minion Prince’s attacks, making him a formidable unit in the game.
6) Earthquake Boots (Barbarian King)
The Barbarian King's Earthquake Boots received significant upgrades following the September 2024 balance changes, earning it the 6th spot on this list of top Hero Equipment. The ability's radius has been expanded from 6 to 8 tiles, and its maximum level damage has increased from 50% to 60%. Additionally, the HP boost has been raised from 1913 to 2500.
These three buffs have elevated the Earthquake Boots to one of the best Hero Equipment options in the game. It is highly effective when used at the center of the opponent's base, where it can devastate walls and surrounding buildings.
5) Eternal Tome (Grand Warden)
In the fifth position is the Eternal Tome, known for its unmatched defensive prowess. Offering an astounding 8 seconds of invincibility, this Hero Equipment serves as a game-changer on the battlefield, nullifying any incoming damage and creating chaos for the base defenses.
While its defensive capabilities are unparalleled, its placement at the fifth position acknowledges the unique advantages of the top-ranking Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans.
4) Magic Mirror (Archer Queen)
The Magic Mirror ranks 4th among Clash of Clans Hero Equipment due to its unique ability to create temporary clones of the Archer Queen when her ability is activated. This Epic Hero Equipment not only turns the Archer Queen invisible for a brief period but also allows her clones to absorb damage and distract defenses, providing strategic advantages.
Each clone’s damage and hitpoints improve every three levels, with major enhancements at levels 9, 18, and 27, making them more resilient and effective. While these clones lack the effects of other Hero Equipment, they still function as formidable decoys.
Additionally, the Magic Mirror offers a passive HP boost and hitpoint recovery, further solidifying its position as one of the top Hero Equipment choices.
3) Spiky Ball (Barbarian King)
The Spiky Ball is ranked as the 3rd best Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans due to its impressive yet situational capabilities. As the second Epic rarity Hero Equipment for the Barbarian King, it locks onto the closest nine targets, dealing a substantial 3250 damage to each and providing a 3290 HP boost to the King. While these statistics seem formidable, the equipment's effectiveness is limited in practice.
To maximize its potential, players must locate nine clustered high HP defenses, a scenario not always available on every base. Furthermore, opponents can exploit the Spiky Ball's targeting mechanism by positioning high HP defenses away from critical areas like the Town Hall, reducing its impact in the raid.
This situational nature and the need for specific conditions to harness its full power result in the Spiky Ball being ranked as the 3rd best Hero Equipment, offering impressive abilities but with limited usability.
2) Electro Boots
The Electro Boots are the latest addition to the Royal Champion’s library of Hero Equipment. This has been the best Passive Equipment for the Champion ever since its launch in the game. It periodically damages everything around the Royale Champion constantly, similar to K.A.N.E., the temporary troop of the Friend or Foe Medal event does. This Equipment works with almost every Royal Champion attack strategy.
1) Dark Orb
This is the number one Hero Equipment of Dark Orb, and it is currently the best Hero Equipment available in the game, and also in our opinion. This is an active ability, so you get to use the Equipment only once. However, once activated, it allows the Prince to throw projectiles that damage and slow down everything it touches.
In conclusion, the world of Clash of Clans is diverse and dynamic. Choosing the right Hero Equipment for your character can elevate your attacks in the game to new heights.
