It hasn't been long since Supercell introduced Hero Equipment, such as Clash of Clans Giant Arrow. Before their release, Heroes used to have default abilities that couldn't be changed.

Note that you can upgrade and unlock new Hero Equipment via the Blacksmith building available at the Home Village.

The Clash of Clans Giant Arrow is the Archer Queen's Equipment and is one of the first gears released upon the introduction of Hero Equipment.

The Clash of Clans Giant Arrow delivers an active ability to the Archer Queen, letting her shoot a gigantic arrow that crosses through the entire village, inflicting colossal damage to whatever comes its way. However, using it isn't easy since it requires precision and timing. A tiny mistake while shooting can waste the equipment, which can turn out lethal for your Archer Queen and army.

Projectile damage: 1200
DPS Increase: 59
Hitpoint Increase: 241

Note that these stats are of a Giant Arrow upgraded to Level 10.

Best ways to use the Clash of Clans Giant Arrow

The Giant Arrow is used to take down far-off buildings from your Archer Queen, helping your army break in and wipe out the enemy base. However, using it is better said than done since you must ensure precision and timing before you hit the Queen's ability button.

Here are a few tips and tricks to use the Clash of Clans Giant Arrow:

1) Aim for a building that aligns with the target

One of the most crucial things to remember before shooting the Giant Arrow is that the first target before the Queen aligns with the building you wish to hit.

Take your time before you deploy your army on the battlefield, and see where you should deploy the Queen to hit the target building. Make sure to hit the ability button the moment she shoots the building aligned with the target building.

2) Hit Air Defenses or Inferno Towers for aerial attacks

If you love aerial attacks and use Electro Dragons, Dragons, or Balloons, consider using the Giant Arrow along with the Lightning Spells to take down Air Defenses beforehand.

Follow the first entry and take down Air Defenses with the Giant Arrow to give your aerial troops an edge on the battlefield, since with these defenses gone, you can easily three-star any base with an aerial attack.
