Guide to choosing the best Hero Equipment for Royale Champion in Clash of Clans

Here are the Royale Champion's Hero Equipment and the appropriate attack strategies wherein they serve best:

1) Seeking Shield

Seeking Shield is an active ability of the Royale Champion, which used to be her default skill before the release of Hero Equipment. When activated, it allows the Hero to throw her shield, which hits and bounces between multiple defenses, dealing lethal damage.

The Seeking Shield equipment is ideal for those who use their Royale Champion to distract defenses from attacking the main army while taking them down to help the main army invade the enemy village.

2) Royal Gem

Royal Gem is another piece of equipment that delivers an active ability to the Royal Champion, allowing you to boost her HP while in a battle. The equipment is best for those whose attack strategy is spearheaded by the champion, as it keeps her alive for a prolonged period. However, for this strategy, you should back the Hero up with other tank troops as well.

3) Haste Vial

Haste Vial equipment is for those who prefer an aggressive attack strategy and invading the enemy village using the Royal Champion, as it casts a Haste Spell on the Hero. This is because while breaking into the enemy's base, the Hero must quickly pass through different defenses and destroy them, making way for the main army.

4) Hog Rider Puppet

As its name suggests, the Hog Rider Puppet equipment allows the Royale Champion to summon a group of Hog Riders, distracting the defenses attacking the army as well as launching a counterattack.

This equipment is best for those who use their Royale Champion as bait or to distract the defenses from attacking the main army.
