In Clash of Clans Hero Equipment is one of the strongest mechanics. Using these equipment you can completely change your hero abilities in a battle. These equipment add damage, utility, survivability or special effects to your heroes that can change the result of attacks, especially when you fight against higher level bases. However, the Hero equipment slots are limited which means you have to choose exactly the right equipment that matches your hero abilities.

In this tier list we have divided all Hero equipment pieces into 4 tiers – S, A, B and C – based on their overall strength, consistency and strategic value. Using this tier list you will be able to understand when you should use each piece of equipment and why some equipment are better than the others.

S-Tier
S-tier equipment are the most valuable type of equipment and you can use them with almost any attack style. They provide extremely high damage, strong survivability or unique abilities that lower tier equipment can’t give. You can use them in high level war attacks because you will keep getting consistent results with them. You should use S-tier gear when you need maximum damage output, safe breakdown of your enemy’s base, good survivability or fast structural clearing in both ground and air strategies. They are the equipment you should upgrade first.
Equipments
- Spiky Ball – Gives bouncing damage to Barbarian King that hits multiple buildings. Also gives one of the highest DPS and HP boosts.
- Earthquake Boots – Provides strong AoE damage for Barbarian King that weakens walls and other defensive buildings.
- Magic Mirror – Spawns a temporary clone of Archer Queen which doubles the damage for a short time and also reduces risk.
- Fireball – Long-range splash spell dealing high burst damage (over 1000+ at higher levels) to clustered defenses.
- Dark Orb – Consistent splash damage perfect for clearing a group of low HP structures quickly.
- Dark Crown – Gives solid offensive and defensive stat boosts to Minion King which helps him to survive longer in battles.
- Electro Boots – Allows Royal Champion to release electric pulses which deals 200 damage per second to all buildings within his range.
- Eternal Tome – Gives Grand Warden and all other troops complete immunity to damage for 8.2 seconds.
- Healing Tome – Gives healing to Grand Warden and all other troops for 20 seconds. Also increases HP and attack strength.

A-Tier
A-tier equipment is powerful but not as powerful as S-tier. These equipment are excellent only for some specific attack styles or troop compositions. Of course they are very useful and valuable but they don’t have the consistency or range of the S-tier equipment. You should use them when you use specific strategies like single-target bursts, tanky ground pushes or attacks where you need some temporary distractions.
Equipments
- Seeking Shield – High single-target damage to upto 4 nearby targets. Great for damaging main defenses.
- Giant Gauntlet – Makes the Barbarian King larger for 17 seconds and adds splash melee damage.
- Vampstache – Every time you attack the Barbarian King restores 300 HP health. This makes him last longer in battles.
- Giant Arrow – Makes the Archer Queen take long-range heavy shots for destroying main defenses quickly.
- Healer Puppet – Summons 3 Healers that restore HP of Archer Queen.
- Hog Rider Puppet – Summons 9 Hog Riders for distraction. The Royal Champion stays invisible and the Hog Riders deal damage.
- Henchmen Puppet – Summons 2 puppets with Minion Prince that help to deal and take more damage.
- Noble-Iron – Lets Minion Prince deal extra 770 damage at the beginning.
- Rocket Spear – Lets Royal Champion throw 9 spears in a range of 10 tiles to deal extra damage.

B-Tier
B-tier equipment can be used in very specific scenarios. Their effects are much weaker and inconsistent. You will be able to use these effectively in your early game stage. You should use them only when you don’t have other stronger equipment or when you want to experiment with some troop compositions or playstyles.
Equipments
- Rage Vial – Decreases attack speed and gives damage boost for a very short time.
- Invisibility Vial – Makes Archer Queen invisible for a short time.
- Action Figure – Summons a level 10 Giant to support the Archer Queen in fights.
Rage Gem – Works with Grand Warden and lets all troops deal more damage.
- Haste Vial – Gives extra 88 damage per second for upto 10 seconds.
- Metal Pants – Reduces damage by 70% for 15 seconds which is not enough for longer battles.

C-Tier
C-tier equipment offers the least value. Their effects are very small and inconsistent and you cannot use them against strong enemies. These equipment pieces are for you if you are a beginner. You should use them only for experimenting or when you don't have anything else.
Equipments
- Barbarian Puppet – Very weak barbarian summons that can easily be defeated by strong defenses.
- Archer Puppet – Spawns 35 invisible Archers with very low HP.
- Frozen Arrow – Freezed enemies for 3 seconds which is a very less time duration.
- Life Gem – Increases HP of nearby troops.
- Heroic Torch – Lets nearby troops jump walls and move faster for upto 20 seconds.
- Lavaloon Puppet – Summons weak air units and has the worst DPS and HP.
- Royal Gem – Increases health of Royal Champion.
