Clash of Clans: Royal Champion Guide – Abilities, Equipment & Strategy
Meet the Royal Champion in Clash of Clans—unlocked at Town Hall 13. Discover her powerful Seeking Shield ability, top-tier equipment like Hog Rider Puppet and Rocket Spear, and pro strategies to dominate battles.
Clash of Clans has introduced a formidable new hero to its roster: the Royal Champion. This spear-wielding dynamo is here to shake up your attack strategies and redefine battlefield dominance. But don't be fooled by her regal title; this champion is all about action, not aristocracy.
Unleashing the Royal Champion
The Royal Champion can be unlocked when you reach Town Hall 13 and Hero Hall Level 7. Armed with her spear and wall-vaulting capability, she's engineered to destroy enemy defenses with ruthless precision. Her Seeking Shield attack enables her to throw her shield, bouncing off up to four defensive buildings, regardless of range restrictions. That means no defense is safe wherever it may be hiding.
You acquire this royal agony at Town Hall 13, Hero Hall Level 7, so Supercell ensured that you worked your butt off first before giving you this walking wrecking ball. She jumps over walls as if she has springs in her boots and throws her shield like a boomerang of doom—hopping over four defenses without caring about the design of your base. Yep, four. That X-Bow you spent so much effort putting in? Toast. Inferno Tower? Poof. Your dreams? Likely not.
Gearing Up: Equipment Options
To enhance her battlefield prowess, the Royal Champion has access to specialized equipment:
-
Hog Rider Puppet: This gear not only boosts her health but also summons nine level 13 Hog Riders to the fray, creating chaos and overwhelming enemy defenses.
-
Haste Vial: Increases her damage per second and movement speed for a short duration, allowing her to swiftly eliminate key targets.
-
Rocket Spear: Extends her attack range temporarily, enabling her to strike defenses from a safer distance.
Strategic Deployment
Using the Royal Champion takes more than simply pushing her into battle; timing and assistance are key. She shines as a Hero Dive strategy, dropping on high-return defenses such as Eagle Artilleries or Inferno Towers. Pairing her with the Barbarian King is especially useful since he takes hits while she can destroy defenses. Be careful of her moderate hit points; otherwise, she's vulnerable without backup.
You can’t just drop her like a Clash noob and pray—she demands a strategy. She thrives in Hero Dives, deleting critical defenses while your Barbarian King tanks hits like the meat shield he is. Use her wrong, and she’ll go down faster than a wall without a Builder.
Pro tip: She’s not invincible. She’s powerful, yes. But if you let her wander into a Tesla farm alone, don’t be surprised if she ends up as barbecue.
Balancing Act
Supercell has implemented balance changes to ensure fair play. For instance, the Electro Boots equipment was toned down to prevent it from being overwhelmingly powerful, maintaining the game's competitive integrity.
Final Thoughts
The Royal Champion is a game-changer in Clash of Clans, offering players new strategic avenues and the thrill of commanding a hero who can truly turn the tide of battle. Equip her wisely, deploy her strategically, and watch as she carves a path of destruction through enemy defenses.
The Royal Champion is the hero your enemies fear, your base cries about, and your wallet probably regrets. She’s fast, brutal, and unreasonably good at destroying everything you love. If you're not using her right now, you’re probably getting stomped by someone who is.
