Hero Equipment Nerfs and Buffs Changes & Reasons Behind Them
Nerfs
Barbarian King’s Earthquake Boots (Common Equipment)
Using Earthquake Boots and Spiky Ball together is too powerful at higher Town Hall levels. To fix this, we are reducing the damage that Earthquake Boots cause to buildings.
The ability will still work well for breaking compartments but won’t be too strong when used with Spiky Ball anymore. Skeletons from the Skeleton Trap will not be influenced by the ability anymore.
This will make it more likely that the Barbarian King gets distracted, helping to create a fairer game.
Grand Warden’s Fireball (Epic Equipment)
The Fireball’s final radius improvement will now be available at a higher Equipment level. This change is meant to keep balance in competitive play by making sure that the Fireball doesn’t become too dominating in the game’s meta.
Royal Champion’s Electro Boots (Epic Equipment)
Electro Boots are a popular piece of equipment in Clash of Clans. Supercell wants to avoid having certain items take over the game strategy.
The boots are being made less powerful to maintain balance. The Invisibility Spell will last 0.25 seconds less for each level.
Even with these changes, Electro Boots will still work well with several Invisibility Spells, but they won’t be as powerful as before.
Buffs
Barbarian King’s Vampstache (Common Equipment)
To promote the use of Vampstache, it is being improved to make it a more competitive choice for the Barbarian King.
Barbarian King’s Barbarian Puppet (Common Equipment)
This equipment is a better choice to start with because the performance is getting better.
Archer Queen’s Archer Puppet (Common Equipment)
This equipment is getting a boost, just like the Barbarian Puppet. It is said that this will be a great option for Clash of Clans players trying out the Archer Queen’s Equipment.
Grand Warden’s Life Gem (Common Equipment)
Life Gem has not worked as well as other Grand Warden Equipment. This upgrade will improve things, making it a better choice, especially for forces with bigger troops that need more living room.
The change aims to improve its usefulness for different attack methods.
Royal Champion’s Royal Gem (Common Equipment)
The Royal Gem has been the least popular and least effective of all the Royal Champion Equipment. Even though it is considered Common Equipment, the Supercell team thinks it needs better features.
This boost will make it a better option, especially for new players or those with lower equipment levels.
Players suggestions: Grand Warden’s Lavaloon Puppet
Lots of Clash of Clans players have been asking for a boost to the Grand Warden’s Lavaloon Puppet (Epic Equipment).
Even though recent data shows low popularity and success, developers have decided not to make quick changes right now. There are two main reasons for this decision:
Potential Strength at Higher Levels – Players who have invested in upgrading the Lavaloon Puppet have found it to be quite effective, particularly in Dragon-based attack strategies.
Time for Player Adaptation – Some Equipment requires additional time for players to unlock, upgrade, and explore its full potential. Developers will continue to monitor its performance and reassess the need for a buff in the coming months.
These balance changes are made to ensure fair gameplay in Clash of Clans. The changes aim to encourage a mix of options while avoiding any one piece of Equipment from being too powerful.
Keep an eye out for more updates and improvements based on what players say and how the game works!
