The Ore Economy Explained
Hero Equipment fundamentally transformed how hero power works in Clash of Clans. With three types of Ores (Shiny Ore, Glowy Ore, and Starry Ore), knowing where to invest your hard-earned resources is the key differentiator between casual and competitive players.
Starry Ore Bottleneck: Starry Ore is required for Epic Equipment upgrades (Levels 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27) and is only obtainable via Clan Wars, CWL, and special Events. Prioritize Epic upgrades carefully!
Barbarian King Equipment Priority
| Equipment | Rarity | Tier | Recommended Role |
|---|
| Giant Gauntlet | Epic | S+ (Essential) | Area damage + massive invulnerability shield. Unlocks King 1v1 dominance. |
| Spiky Ball | Epic | S (Top Tier) | Sniper capability that ricochets across 6-9 key defenses. |
| Rage Vial | Common | A+ (Solid) | Pairs wonderfully with Giant Gauntlet for sheer burst DPS. |
| Earthquake Boots | Common | B (Situational) | Breaks base open instantly for ground spam armies. |
Archer Queen Equipment Priority
| Equipment | Rarity | Tier | Recommended Role |
|---|
| Frozen Arrow | Epic | S+ (Essential) | Slows enemy defense attack speed by up to 75%. Crucial for Queen Charge. |
| Invisibility Vial | Common | S (Must Max) | Burst survival when under heavy focus fire or targeted by Single Infernos. |
| Healer Puppet | Common | A (Great) | Spawns personal healers for standalone smash entry. |
| Giant Arrow | Common | A (Sniper) | Cross-map Air Defense / Sweeper removal for air attackers. |
Grand Warden Equipment Priority

|---|
| Eternal Tome | Common | S+ (Mandatory) | 9+ seconds of complete troop invulnerability. Best equipment in the entire game. |

| Fireball | Epic | S (Nuke Specialist) | Vaporizes 7x7 tile core compartments when paired with Invisibility & Wardens Walk. |
| Rage Gem | Common | A (Air / Spam) | Constant passive damage booster for Dragons and Balloons. |
