5 | Battle Machine
Unlocks: Builder Hall Level 5
Build Cost: 900,000 Builder Elixir
At number 5 Clash of Clans hero is the Battle Machine. Don’t get me wrong, this Clash of Clans hero is incredibly fun to use; His Electric Hammer ability replenishes a good chunk of his health and gives him a massive damage boost for the next three attacks.
The issue here, however, is that this COC hero is restricted to the builder base. Also, due to the nature of builder base PvP, this Clash of Clans hero doesn’t defend bases, existing only to attack or be repaired.
4 | Barbarian King
Unlocks: Town Hall Level 7
Build Cost: 5000 Dark Elixir
At number 4 is the Barbarian King, Clash of Clan’s very own COC tank hero. When first unlocked, this immortal (all Clash of Clans heroes are) unit felt unstoppable. He could dish out and receive tonnes of damage, having a Barbarian King was the goal for every starter player.
Unfortunately, as the game progresses and more Clash of Clans heroes are unlocked, his relevance fades away due to them being better overall. He’s best used as a vanguard for weaker opponents (or heroes).
3 | Royal Champion
Unlocks: Town Hall Level 13
Build Cost: 120,000 Dark Elixir
The Royal Champion is short-ranged Clash of Clans hero, can jump over walls, and throws spears at defensive buildings. Her ability shoots out a shield that does high damage to 4 enemy defences, regardless of their distance.
Her short range, moderate health, and hot-headedness make her susceptible to enemy defences in Clash of Clans.
2 | Grand Warden
Unlocks: Town Hall Level 11
Build Cost: 1,000,000 Elixir
We’ve reached the top two. Unlike the rest of Clash of Clan’s hero roster, the Grand Warden is a supportive unit. In combat, he has a supportive aura around him that heals troops. When his ability is called, these troops gain invincibility for a short duration.
He was the first Clash of Clans hero introduced in a very long time and adds lots more nuance to Clash’s usual drop-and-pop attack tactics. Players now need to carefully consider which COC troops to drop, where, and whether to support them with the Warden.
1 | Archer Queen
Unlocks: Town Hall Level 9
Build Cost: 10,000 Dark Elixir
The Archer Queen easily tops our list of COC best heroes. There are no surprises here. She deals incredible damage, has high range, good walking speed, invisibility, and is still meta-defining at TH 16.
The Queen-Walk strategy is one of the most powerful and popular in the Clash of Clans.
If you want to get your hands on these heroes quickly, you’ll need Clash of Clans gems. And the best way to get COC gems is from our Clash of Clans shop!
