Advantages of Clash of Clans Rocket Spear Hero Equipment

Here are the positive points of Rocket Spear Hero Equipment:

Good range

The Rocket Spear enables the Royal Champion to attack from a distance of 10 tiles, keeping her safe from most defenses, except the X-Bow, Mortar, and Monolith. This feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining her health during battles while destroying the opponent's defenses.

Focused destruction

Unlike the Seeking Shield, which deals a fixed amount of damage to multiple defenses, potentially leaving them partially damaged, the Rocket Spear targets a defense until it is completely destroyed. This prevents the defenses from getting repaired by Builder Huts during the onslaught.

Stat boosts

The Clash of Clans Rocket Spear possesses significant stats, including a 168 DPS increase and a 700 HP increase at the highest level. These are the largest stat boosts offered by any of the Royal Champion's equipment within the game.

Limitations of the Clash of Clans Rocket Spear Hero Equipment

Lower total damage

In terms of total damage output, the Rocket Spear falls short compared to the Seeking Shield. At the highest level, the Rocket Spear inflicts a total of 7840 extra damage, whereas the Seeking Shield can deal up to 10,000 damage at the max level. This makes the Rocket Spear less impactful if the primary goal is to maximize damage.

Exposure to high-damage defenses

The Rocket Spear has a lesser range than X-Bow, Monolith, and Mortar. This means the Royal Champion will be overwhelmed when she is faced with either of the defenses at a range above 10 tiles. This exposure can be detrimental, particularly in well-defended bases that are designed to counter long-range attackers.

Redundancy with Spirit Fox

The Spirit Fox renders the Royal Champion invisible and impervious for the first four seconds. Consequently, when paired with the Clash of Clans Rocket Spear, the range advantage becomes a redundant boost.

Conclusion

The Clash of Clans Rocket Spear offers a mix of advantages and limitations. Its long-range destructive ability makes it a valuable addition, while its lower total damage output and potential exposure to high-damage defenses limit its usage. Thus, players who value range, and focused destruction must spend Shiny, Glowy, and Starry Ores to upgrade the latest Hero Equipment.
