Clash of Clans' Hero Equipment has gained significant attention since its introduction as a feature in December 2023. These items offer players unprecedented flexibility in customizing their characters according to their needs. There are currently 19 Hero Equipment scattered among the four units of the game. Each one can turn the tide of battle.

Choosing the right Hero Equipment for your character can make all the difference in a successful raid. This article ranks all Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans based on effectiveness and versatility.

Note: This ranking is subjective and solely reflects the writer's opinions.


Ranking all Hero Equipments in Clash of Clans

In the current Clash of Clans meta, the Barbarian King, Grand Warden, and Archer Queen boast five Hero Equipments each, whereas the Royal Champion has four Hero Equipments in her arsenal.

Here's the rank of each of these Hero Equipments in Clash of Clans:

19) Barbarian Puppet (Barbarian King)

Kicking off this list is the Barbarian Puppet. Although it offers satisfactory health regeneration and a commendable Hitpoint boost of 2550 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.


18) Archer Puppet (Archer Queen)

Next up is the Archer Puppet. Despite its classic ability and instant health regeneration, this Archer Puppet can disappear quickly, especially against powerful defenses like Scattershots.

This Hero Equipment offers a decent DPS increase of 144 at the highest level but falls short compared to other options in Clash of Clans. This Equipment will be placed higher on the list if the Archer Queen is used in a Queen charge strategy where the healing ability of the Archer Puppet could turn the tide of battle.


17) Earthquake Boots (Barbarian King)

The Barbarian King's Earthquake Boots takes the 17th spot on this list. While its ability to destroy walls is appreciated, its one-time use and limited application make it less versatile. The 50% damage boost is valuable, but its overall impact is situational.

This Hero Equipment should be used at the heart of the opponent's base. It is completely wasted in circumstances where the Barbarian King fails to get into the required position.


16) Healer Puppet (Archer Queen)

At 16th 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.

While offering notable healing benefits, the Healer Puppet's effectiveness is contingent on specific raid circumstances, contributing to its placement in the middle tier of Clash of Clans Hero Equipment rankings.


15) Life Gem (Grand Warden)

The Grand Warden's Life Gem comes in at number 15 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.


14) Giant Arrow (Archer Queen)

The Giant Arrow ranks 14th 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.


13) Rage Gem (Grand Warden)

The Rage Gem holds 13th 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.


12) Vampstache (Barbarian King)

At 12th 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.


11) Fireball (Grand Warden)

Fireball Hero Equipment takes the 11th position in this ranking. It is made for the Grand Warden and boasts impressive total damage of 4,100 at level 27 which can decimate almost all the defensive building. However, the usage of this equipment is limited in existing Clash of Clans strategies. It requires the Warden to spearhead the attack on the Town Hall, which is generally not a preferred choice for the mentioned Hero.

Furthermore, the Fireball has limited synergy with other Grand Warden Hero Equipment, making it tougher to fully utilize on the battlefield. Thus, it is placed outside of the top 10 rankings in Clash of Clans Hero Equipments.


10) Royal Gem (Royal Champion)

Claiming the 10th position is the Royal Gem, tailored for the Royal Champion. Renowned for its DPS increase of 105 and Hitpoint enhancements of 380, the standout feature of this Hero Equipment is the exceptional Heal on Activation of 2,400 to the Royal Champion.

This makes the Royal Gem invaluable, especially when coupled with the Spirit Fox, rendering the champion challenging to defeat. Despite its merits, the Royal Gem is positioned here due to the prevalence of more universally versatile Hero Equipment options in Clash of Clans.


9) Seeking Shield (Royal Champion)

Securing the ninth 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. It provides invaluable advantages in creating lanes and clearing key opponent defenses like the Single Target Inferno or the Monolith.

Although its proficiency in clearing specific structures enhances raid planning, its placement in the sixth position is due to the presence of better options in the Clash of Clans universe.


8) Hog Rider Puppet (Royal Champion)

The Hog Rider Puppet ranks eighth 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.


7) Rage Vial (Barbarian King)

The Rage Vial holds the seventh 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.


6) Haste Vial (Royal Champion)

The Haste Vial, the latest Hero Equipment of Royal Champion, ranks sixth in Clash of Clans' Hero Equipment due to its temporary nature and relatively modest benefits. This ability grants the Royal Champion an 18% 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.


5) Healing Tome (Grand Warden)

In the fifth position is the Healing Tome, a Hero Equipment with exceptional healing capability. Its unique feature lies in its unlimited healing capacity. It offers a consistent healing rate of 150 per second, surpassing the traditional Healing Spell.

The Healing Tome's wider radius enhances its effectiveness. While its situational use in conjunction with the Eternal Tome impacts its overall versatility, its potent healing ability solidifies its placement in the upper tier of Clash of Clans Hero Equipment.


4) Frozen Arrow (Archer Queen)

Frozen Arrow claims the esteemed 4th 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 75% 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.

Using its ability to slow down opposing forces, Frozen Arrow facilitates the healing process by granting ample time for healers to restore the Archer Queen's health amidst the chaos of battle, thereby solidifying its status as an indispensable asset in Clash of Clans' strategic landscape.


3) Invisibility Vial (Archer Queen)

Claiming the third position is the Invisibility Vial, which is designed for the Archer Queen. Boasting a blistering DPS increase of 1740, an additional Hitpoint of 700, and a substantial 7.8 seconds of invisibility at maximum level, this Hero Equipment is a game-changing asset.

Despite its exceptional utility, its situational nature contributes to its fourth-place ranking in this Clash of Clans list.


2) Eternal Tome (Grand Warden)

In the second position is the Eternal Tome, known for its unmatched defensive prowess. Offering an astounding 9.5 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 second position acknowledges the unique advantages of the top-ranking Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans.


1) Giant Gauntlet (Barbarian King)

Claiming the coveted top spot 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 position as the best Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans.


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.
