Clash of Clans guide: How to upgrade Hero Equipment

Supercell introduced Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans, giving Heroes' abilities new dynamics. These characters used to have default abilities that couldn't be changed but with the arrival of these fresh items, the developer, Supercell allowed players to choose their heroes' skills according to their attack strategy.

Previously, upgrading Heroes used to uplift their special abilities, but now players must separately level up their heroes' equipment to enhance their skills. This is done at the Blacksmith building at the Home Village. Note that upgrading Hero Equipment costs Ores, which are categorized based on their rarity: Shiny Ores, Glowy Ores, and Starry Ores.

How to upgrade Clash of Clans Hero Equipment like a pro?

1) Participate in Clan Wars

Since earning Ores is key to upgrading Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans, the main goal must be to collect as many of these resources as possible. In this regard, you should actively participate in Clan Wars and perform your best in achieving victory.

Note that claiming victory in clan wars yields a lucrative amount of resources, including Gold, Elixir, and Ores.

2) Earn Raid Medals

Earning Raid Medals also helps you collect Ores and, hence, upgrade Hero Equipment. To collect these medals, you must participate in the Raid Weekends that occur in the Clan Capital from Friday to Sunday. It yields Raid Medals, used to reinforce troops in the Clan Castle. Moreover, you can purchase numerous magic items and other resources, such as Ores, using these medals at the Trader Shop.

3) Progress in events and seasonal reward tracks

Another best way to collect Ores is by completing events and seasonal reward tracks. To finish former tracks, you are usually required to collect the event-exclusive currencies, while for the latter, you must finish designated tasks, such as donating a certain amount of troops.

Finishing such tracks yields a significant amount of Ores, enough to upgrade multiple Hero Equipment at once.
