As experienced clashers we all know the best attack strategies and spell combinations to use. We get the logistics of how to completely destroy bases, but this is only lasts up until about town hall 6. At town hall 7 we get some pretty game defining structures that can change not only defense, but raiding as a whole. The new dark storage is a new door that opens up a plethora of new dark elixir troops, but besides pouring this precious aphotic elixir into dark barrack troops, you may want to seriously consider heroes.

There are two heroes in clash of clans that are unlocked at town hall 7 and town hall 9. At town hall 7 the barbarian king can be built after collecting 10,000 dark elixir and at town hall 9 the archer queen can be built after collecting 40,000 dark elixir. Both of these heroes can greatly improve any attack strategy. Heroes are also a huge necessity for high leveled game play. Many times heroes can be used to get the last percentages for the 50% or the 2 star victories. They most certainly can also guaranteed a 3 star if they are used effectively and timely.

First up at town hall 7 is the barbarian king. The king or the BK is basically a larger and more powerful version of the barbarians made in the barracks. The barbarian king can be leveled up to level 40 and at this level has a max damage of 310.8. The BK’s iron fist ability bumps his damage to 414 with 20 summoned units and a health recovery of 1,692! This ability lasts only ten seconds, but in the world of clashing these statistics are game changing.

At town hall 9 another hero is unlocked, the archer queen. The archer queen is basically a more powerful version of the elixir troop archer. The queen wields a modified x-bow as her weapon of choice. Her bow deals out an impressive 419 damage. The archer queen also has a special ability like the kings iron fist, except her ability is called the royal cloak. This ability allows the archer queen to go invisible and not be targeted by defenses. It also increases the damage to 819! The royal cloak summons 12 additional archers to help the queen advance through the base.

Without a doubt heroes are extremely important to being successful at the game. In combination heroes can be verydeadly; after all they are the king and queen. Since the archer queen lacks the amount of health the king does, it’s a great tactic to use the king as a ‘Tank’ while the archer queen shoots over him. The defensive structures will target the beefy king as the archer queen neutralizes them.

All in all heroes are a huge advantage to the game and should be a priority if they are available at your given town hall. Heroes are great for getting those last percentages in a sticky situation. The heroes special abilities should be used timely in order to cause as much damage and health recovery as possible. When it comes to the archer queen and barbarian king who’s your hero of choice?
