Master Clash of Clans Hero Equipment: Unlock, upgrade, and strategize for epic battles! This guide will help to maximize hero potential.

The Clash of Clans community is abuzz with excitement as the TH16 update makes its grand entrance, bringing a plethora of fresh features to the game. Among the highlights are the innovative Defense Merging mechanism, the formidable Root Rider troop, a brand-new Town Hall, elevated max upgrade levels for numerous buildings, the charming Spirit Fox pet, and the much-celebrated Hero Equipment. Many players are hailing the latter as the standout addition in the TH16 patch.

True to its name, Hero Equipment introduces a multitude of new gears for Clash of Clans Heroes, ushering in a new era of dynamics for their unique abilities. These equipment pieces are accessible and can be enhanced through the Blacksmith building within the game. However, it’s crucial to note that this feature is exclusively available to players with Town Hall 8 and above.

In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of how Hero Equipment operates and the steps involved in upgrading it within the Clash of Clans universe.

What is the Hero Equipment?

In Clash of Clans, every Hero has special powers. For instance, the Barbarian King can summon Barbarians and use the Rage Spell. To make things more interesting, Supercell introduced Hero Equipment, breaking down their abilities into four separate pieces.

Hero Equipment lets you personalize your Hero’s powers based on your battle plan. You can unlock these by upgrading the Blacksmith building.

Here are some features:

• Hero Equipment starts activating at Town Hall 8, beginning with the Barbarian King, even though you get him at TH8.
• Besides the regular abilities, you can explore new and strong powers as you progress in the game.
• The possibilities are endless; you can make your Archer Queen shoot big arrows or give your Barbarian King Earthquake Boots to smash through walls.

The old abilities of your Heroes, like the Barbarian King’s Iron Fist, are now divided into different Hero Equipment that you can upgrade and change. For example, if you use Barbarian Puppet, your Barbarian King can summon a bunch of super-raged Barbarians. Switch to something like Vampstache, and now your Barbarian King can heal himself with every attack instead of summoning raging Barbarians. It’s all about customizing and experimenting with your Heroes’ abilities in exciting ways!

Guide to upgrade Clash of Clans Hero Equipment

In Clash of Clans, gaining access to Hero Equipment involves utilizing a specialized structure known as the Blacksmith. The progression of this equipment is facilitated through the use of resources referred to as Ores, and we’ll now explore the intricacies of this upgrading process.

Blacksmith: 

As mentioned previously, the Blacksmith becomes accessible upon reaching Town Hall 8. This singular building serves as the key to upgrading Hero Equipment for all heroes going forward. With each advancement of the Blacksmith, a new item in the Hero Equipment arsenal is unlocked.

LEVEL	TH LEVEL	UPGRADE COST (GOLD)	UPGRADE TIME	HP	UNLOCKED ITEM
1	8	750K	1d	700	Earthquake Boots
2	9	1.7M	2d	800	Giant Arrow
3	10	2.3M	3d	900	Vampstache
4	11	3M	4d	1000	Rage Gem
5	12	5.5M	5d	1100	Healer Puppet
6	13	8.5M	6d	1200	Healing Tome
7	14	12M	7d	1300	NA
8	15	14M	8d	1400	NA
9	16	16M	9d	1500	NA

The range of available equipment in the blacksmith is directly linked to the blacksmith’s level, which is in turn tied to your Town Hall level. The initiation of blacksmith unlocking begins with Level 1, introducing the Barbarian King’s Earthquake Boots. As you advance through different Town Hall levels, new equipment pieces for your Heroes become accessible.

Ores: 

Hero Equipment upgrades in the TH16 update hinge on acquiring new items known as Ores, categorized by rarity: Shiny Ore (Common), Glowy Ore (Rare), and Starry Ore (Epic). Shiny and Glowy Ores are obtainable through the Star Bonus and Clan Wars, while Starry Ore is exclusive to special events and Clan Wars.

Should you find yourself facing a shortage of these precious Ores during your Hero Equipment upgrades, fear not! An alternative avenue is available in the form of in-game Gems, providing a flexible substitute for Ores. This allows players to continue their upgrade journey even when faced with scarcity.

Furthermore, for those who prefer a more direct approach, both Ores and Gems can be conveniently acquired through the in-game shop or from the trader. This option caters to players who value efficiency and wish to expedite their progression by acquiring the necessary resources directly.

Selection of Hero Equipment

Following the acquisition of gear, the next step involves equipping it. This can be accomplished by either tapping the Blacksmith, selecting the Equipment option after clicking on a specific hero, or accessing the Equipment section through the Army tab. When you tap on any hero, the Hero Equipment interface will appear, providing options to tap and equip or utilize a drag-and-drop method. In Clash of Clans, each Hero can be outfitted with two pieces of Hero Equipment.

Upgrading of Hero Equipment

Now, each Equipment comes with its designated level, ready for improvement through the upgrading process. Ores play a crucial role in this enhancement. Simply tap on the Equipment, and the Upgrade option will appear, contingent on the Ores amassed in your account. As the Equipment levels up, the storage capacity for Ores will also expand. It’s essential to note that Hero Boost Potions do not contribute to upgrading equipment stats.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to upgrade Hero Equipment:

• Go to your Blacksmith building and select “Equipment.”
• Choose the specific equipment you want to upgrade.
• Tap on the upgrade button, ensuring you have the required Ores in your inventory.

Executing these steps promptly enhances your selected Hero Equipment. Unlike other level-ups in Clash of Clans, this process is instantaneous and does not involve any waiting time.

CoC Hero Equipment: Rarities and Abilities 

Rarities of Equipment

Let’s talk about Equipment Rarities – there’s Common, which is like the regular one, and then there’s Epic, which is rare and extra special. You can make your Common equipment better by upgrading your Blacksmith, up to level 18. But for the rare Epic Equipment, you can go all the way up to level 27. To get the special Epic types, you have to participate in special events.

The cool thing is that some gear gives your heroes extra bonuses, like more damage, healing, or faster movement. So, by getting these special equipment pieces, your heroes become even stronger in battles. It’s like giving them some superhero upgrades!

Abilities of Equipment

Okay, so each piece of equipment has two things it can do: Active and Passive. Active ones need you to do something during a battle, like using the Barbarian King’s Iron Gauntlet. But Passive ones are always working without you doing anything. Like the Grand Warden’s Aura, which always boosts nearby troops.
