"Towering above all other archers, this graceful huntress is a master of destructive force. Although, her health is modest, she snipes targets from afar with her powerful X-bow. As a defender she guards the village with a vengeance."
The Archer Queen is essentially a much more powerful version of the Archer. She is the second Hero, being unlocked at Town Hall 9. In addition to possessing much higher damage and hitpoints, the Archer Queen also shoots 1.5 tiles farther than a normal Archer (5 tiles instead of 3.5 tiles).
The Archer Queen shoots 3 rapid arrows per shot. However, that is more of a visual feature, because these arrows deal damage to a single target.
The Archer Queen is an immortal unit, so she only has to be summoned once. However, if she is injured or gets defeated in an attack, she must regenerate her health by sleeping for a period of time before she can be used again.
The Archer Queen will defend the village whenever she is not regenerating health from a previous attack. The Archer Queen only defends her territory around her altar and will retreat if lured too far out. If the village is attacked while she is regenerating health or being upgraded, her altar will be empty.
Hero regeneration in the Home Village uses an "extra life" system: when fully regenerated, the Archer Queen has two "life bars", each with health equal to her maximum hitpoints. The first life bar is represented by the bar visible next to the Queen's level, with the second (the "extra life") represented by a heart placed at the end of the first life bar, with a "+1" when it is full.
Any damage taken by the Archer Queen when attacking is first subtracted from the extra life bar, with the regular life bar only being reduced when the extra life bar is fully depleted. If the Archer Queen is defeated, a full life bar will be depleted; in particular, if the extra life bar is full when this occurs, it will be completely depleted without affecting the regular life bar. If the Archer Queen is damaged or defeated when defending, the life bars will be completely unaffected.
Both the regular life bar and the extra life regenerate at the same rate, with the regular life bar regenerating fully before the extra life bar regenerates. The regeneration time listed in-game is the time taken for one of the two life bars to regenerate, meaning the time taken to regenerate both life bars after both have been emptied is twice the regeneration time.
If you have the Archer Queen sleeping after she was knocked out twice in each battle, using a Book of Heroes will instantly regenerate both health bars, regardless of time remaining.
However, this can only apply if you have enough Dark Elixir to upgrade your Archer Queen, then finishing the upgrade afterwards.
The Hammer of Heroes and the Book of Everything can also do the same thing.
For the Queen to participate in battle, the regular life bar must be full. If the regular life bar is not full after a battle, the Archer Queen will have to sleep for a period to regenerate the regular life bar before she can be used for battle, proportional to the amount of missing health on the regular life bar.
Hero regeneration after a Multiplayer Battle starts as soon as the player begins to search for a Multiplayer opponent. So, if the player spent some time searching for an opponent to attack before completing an attack, part of the regeneration will be completed by the time the player returns to their village. However, if the player cancels the attack by pressing "End Battle" before completing an attack, the regeneration will be reset. This effect is more noticeable in the highest leagues below Legend League where a significant amount of time can be spent searching for such opponents.
You can temporarily quadruple the Queen's healing rate for 1 hour by spending 5 Gems, or by using a Training Potion.
As a Hero, the Archer Queen has an ability that can be used once per battle which allows her to recover some of her health, and the amount increases at every fifth level. The Hero Equipment that she wields may add additional effects to the ability or a unique passive effect, on top of various passive stats increase.
When unlocked, she starts with the Archer Puppet and Invisibility Vial.
The Archer Puppet allows the Archer Queen to summon a large number of invisible Archers and an increase health recovery. The level of the Archers matches the level researched by the player. It gives a passive increase to damage.
The Invisibility Vial turns the Archer Queen invisible and gives her significantly increased damage for the duration. It gives a passive increase to max health.
Upgrading the Blacksmith to level 2 and 5 unlocks the Giant Arrow and Healer Puppet respectively.
The Giant Arrow launches an arrow that travels the whole village, dealing damage on the way. It gives a passive increase to damage and max health.
The Healer Puppet summons Healers, with the number of Healers is dependent on the level of this Equipment. It gives a passive increase to max health and grants self healing.
Additionally, there are Epic rarity equipment which can be purchased with event medals during certain events or gems with the Trader.
The Frozen Arrow causes her attacks to slow down Defenses, defending Heroes and Clan Castle troops. It gives a passive increase to damage.
The Magic Mirror summons clone(s) of herself, provides a brief invisibility, and grants an increased health recovery with her ability. It gives a passive increase to max health.
Unlike the Barbarian King, the Archer Queen can attack air units like Balloons, Dragons, or Minions, making her effective in guarding a village against players who conduct air raids.
Strategies
Offensive Strategies
The four Home Village heroes serve different roles in raids. The Archer Queen is the damage specialist hero, while the Barbarian King is the tank specialist, the Grand Warden is the support specialist and the Royal Champion is the defense specialist. Deploy her behind the Barbarian King as he tanks the damage while the Archer Queen does the damage.
She has a better range than an Archer (5 tiles instead of 3.5), so a good strategy is to place a group of Giants, P.E.K.K.As, Golems, or the Barbarian King as a meat shield, then a group of Archers, and finally the Archer Queen. This minimizes the chance of her being defeated or even hit and may allow you to use her many times in a row without waiting for her to regenerate.
The Archer Queen and Healer combination, better known as Queen Walk, is a very viable strategy when you are targeting for loot. She can clear large areas of the base, creating an effective funnel. This, however, requires a high-level Queen due to the fact that the Queen alone cannot deal enough damage and will eventually run out of time. Air Defenses bombing the Healers can easily destroy this, but this does not happen very often since the Archer Queen's range and the Healer's range allow the Healers to stay out of most Air Defenses' range.
A related version of the Queen Walk is the Queen Charge, where instead of being used for funneling, the Queen and Healers target the core of the base, destroying key defenses. This usually involves the use of Wall Breakers, their super form, or Jump Spells in addition to other funneling troops (such as Baby Dragons) to ensure she enters the base, and then using her abilities to wipe defenses.
An alternate version of the Queen Walk that can be utilized is with Druids instead of Healers. Unlike Healers, Druids do not have a reduced healing rate when healing Heroes, making them slightly more effective. In addition, their healing bounces from one troop or Hero to another, thereby giving you the ability to add supporting troops in a Queen Walk. The downside to using Druids instead of Healers is that they will only remain in their base form for 30 seconds before transforming into their Bear form. Once they have turned into a Bear, they can no longer heal the Queen and/or troops and instead target defenses, which can sometimes be useful to tank the Queen from incoming defenses.
For a Queen Walk, Rage Spells can be used to boost both the Archer Queen and the Healers/Druids if needed. When boosted by Rage Spells, the Healers/Druids will heal faster, allowing them to heal the Queen quickly if she should take lots of damage. Freeze Spells are also handy to have to stop high-damage defenses like the single-target Inferno Tower, while the Overgrowth Spell can divert the Queen and prevent her from taking damage.
Seeking Air Mines can also counter this. Periodically place some Balloons near the Healers to try and soak them up. These Balloons are often called "coco loons". Try to bring about 3 or 4. Any extra ones may also be used like normal Balloons.
The Unicorn can be used in place of a Healer or Druid, However, in a lot of strategies, you see them both used at the same time for maximum healing to the Archer Queen, which increases her sustainability.
The Invisibility Vial, when equipped, prevents defenses from targeting the Archer Queen, but she can be affected by splash damage; for instance, if the nearby Archers summoned by the Archer Queen via her Archer Puppet are targeted by a Mortar or a Scattershot, the splash projectile of the Mortar and the Scattershot will damage the Archer Queen if she is in range, regardless of whether her ability is active or not. The Invisibility Vial does not prevent the Archer Queen from triggering Bombs and Giant Bombs and she will still be damaged by them if she is in range when they explode.
The activated Invisibility Vial's ability is excellent against single-target Inferno Towers. When used, the Inferno Tower's damage will not only reset, but is often redirected onto a summoned Archer if the Archer Puppet is equipped. The Queen can quickly finish off the Inferno with her damage under the cloak, while the Archers can provide great cover and overwhelm the Inferno if it is not defended well by splash defenses (or other multi-targeting Infernos). Without the Archer Puppet, her sustainability will increased significantly, especially if the Invisibility Vial is paired with either the Giant Arrow or Frozen Arrow.
The Invisibility Vial ability will also not prevent any projectiles (such as Cannon shots) that are targeting the Archer Queen at the time of the ability's activation from hitting her. If the Eagle Artillery has already locked on and fired on the Queen, activating the Invisibility Vial will not prevent the shots from hitting, which will result in great damage against your Queen. Activating the ability just before it fires will stop the Eagle Artillery from firing on your Archer Queen, however, and render the Queen temporarily untargetable by the Eagle Artillery as normal.
The Archer Queen is not affected by the Spring Trap, like all other Heroes, so you can use her to activate them.
A good idea is to put the Archer Queen with the other heroes. The Barbarian King soaks up hits, the Archer Queen attacks from behind, the Grand Warden supports them with his Life Gem or the Rage Gem, and the Royal Champion destroys defenses. If there are troops in the Clan Castle, they also get benefits from the Grand Warden and they can assist the other heroes in terms of defending and stalling. This is also called a hero dive, where you push a certain amount of your heroes into the base a little. This can help with funneling, take out major defenses or just getting percentage in general.
Sending the Archer Queen and any other heroes like this with little support (up to about 25 housing space of troops) is known as a Sui Queen. This is best used to destroy outer portions of the base and a few key targets farther in.
Beware of the Barbarian King, as he can knock out the Archer Queen in a 1v1 if they are at the same level or if the Archer Queen is only 5 levels or lower than the King. If you are going to 1v1 the Barbarian King, place Healers/Druids to support the Queen or place Wizards or any other high-damaging troop to quickly defeat the King. Headhunters, if you have access, is also good when going against the King.
The Invisibility Vial ability's mechanism will cause her to be considered as a new target different from the original Archer Queen. Against a defending Electro Dragon, this ability may backfire, as it may cause her to take two hits from the Electro Dragon's Chain Lightning ability.
If you do not need to use her ability during battle, you do not always need to. If the battle ends and she does not use her ability, after battle she will recover health equal to the ability recovery.
By far and away the most common Pet to pair with the Archer Queen is the Unicorn, as it enables her to be healed over time, greatly increasing her sustainability. The Phoenix, when unlocked, can substitute for the Unicorn if the latter is being upgraded, being able to extend the lifetime of the Queen and allowing her to do extra damage before she goes down.
The Phoenix can also revive the Archer Queen if she happens to be defeated while under her ability. The subsequent revival allows the Queen to use most of, if not the full duration of her extremely damaging ability if the Invisibility Vial is active.
The Archer Queen benefits from having higher-level equipment, so leveling up your equipment will greatly improve the Archer Queen.
A good Hero Equipment combination for the Archer Queen includes the Frozen Arrow and Invisibility Vial, as this reduces her incoming damage by slowing down defenses, and making her invisible allows her to deal more damage. However, if you are using a pet, the Pet will not turn invisible, forcing the pet to die early, which can leave the Queen without support.
Other good combos include the Frozen Arrow and Healer Puppet, which allows her more healers for extra health recovery, and also self-heals over time. The Invisibility Vial and Healer Puppet for guaranteed healing, and the Giant Arrow and Invisibility Vial for ZapQuake attacks are all good combinations to a certain extent.
Some good Hero Equipment pairings include:
The Frozen Arrow and Invisibility Vial, which allows the Queen to provides some support on slowing the defenses and survive and do more damage when necessary.
The Magic Mirror is usually an upgrade to Invisibility Vial in most situations. The Magic Mirror summons clones and turns the Queen invisible briefly so defenses will target them instead, they do more extra damage overall and have some tanking capability, it also provides more maximum health passively and have extra health recovery to make up for not being invisible for longer.
The Healer Puppet and Giant Arrow/Frozen Arrow/Archer Puppet, as both abilities can be used immediately with little to no conflicts, unlike Invisibility Vial or Magic Mirror.
The Healer Puppet and Invisibility Vial/Magic Mirror, are still a valid pairing, the passive healing already helps the Queen's sustainability in the core, having invisibility time and retargeting available with extra Healers being spawned can be an insurance.
Defensive Strategies
The Archer Queen is more suitable for defense than the Barbarian King because of her higher damage per second, and she is able to attack from a longer range (as well as being able to strike air units), but she has dramatically lower health than the Barbarian King. The altar must be placed 3-4 spaces from the nearest wall to prevent the Queen from jumping out and getting targeted by melee troops.
Protect your key defenses by keeping them more than 5 tiles away from the nearest open space, so the Queen cannot snipe them.
Keep your Eagle Artillery away from the Queen's altar so that the opponent cannot destroy both with Electrone or Blizzard.
The best strategy against an Archer Queen is often another Archer Queen. A Queen Walk or an Archer Queen behind a tank troop can take down an enemy Queen quickly, especially if her Equipment abilities are activated.
Tanking troops can be of some use, but they will not last long against an Archer Queen. For example, a maxed Golem will last only 10-11 seconds against a max-level Archer Queen, not accounting for any other defenses that may be targeting it.
If you are using a similar level, using the Barbarian King as a tank and the enemy Archer Queen is not hiding behind a wall, then the Barbarian King himself will be sufficient to defeat the Queen unless nearby defenses or the defending Clan Castle troops or Barbarian King are also attacking him. Activating the King's ability will allow him to defeat the Queen quicker.
If the Archer Queen is near the edge of the base, you can use a Barbarian King to take it out. You might need to use the King's ability if he is low-leveled.
Consider bringing a spell or spells to make the takedown process easier, such as a Poison Spell to slow the Queen's attacks, a Skeleton Spell to distract her, or a Freeze Spell to keep her from killing your troops too quickly.
The Grand Warden's Eternal Tome ability can keep troops alive while they destroy an Archer Queen. Because the Queen's health is so low, the short duration of the Eternal Tome ability is rarely a problem.
You can defeat the defending Archer Queen with high-leveled Lightning Spells if she is low leveled. However, this is not a recommended strategy because you cannot easily guarantee that she will die if you bring too little.
Even against higher-level Archer Queens, the strategy can still be useful if you are bringing enough Lightning Spells to destroy other key buildings alongside taking her out (such as the Eagle Artillery), usually with the help of Earthquake Spells to help destroy defenses.
Like with the Barbarian King or the Royal Champion, Headhunters are effective at targeting and attacking the Archer Queen, and they are used in small numbers in most high-level strategies such as LavaLoon where the other troops cannot target or damage her effectively. However, if Headhunters are sent in alone without assistance or not being protected by the Grand Warden's Eternal Tome ability, they will likely be picked off and killed easily by the Queen or nearby defenses. As such, they are best sneaked in, covered by other attacking troops or by the Grand Warden's Eternal Tome ability.

Notes
If you tap on the Archer Queen, she will yell a high pitched battle cry and stand still for a moment, similar to the Barbarian King. Her default skin will wave a hand towards the player.
If she is wearing her Gladiator or Champion skin, she will instead bow down towards the player.
If she is in her Valkyrie Queen skin, she will raise her modified X-Bow and stand tall.
The Autumn Queen skin will spin counter-clockwise, with a bow in hand.
If she is wearing the Ice Queen skin, she will pull her hand up to her face.
If she is wearing the Warrior Queen skin, she will bow down to the user.
If she is wearing the Primal Queen skin, she will put her hand on her costume and look up.
If she is wearing the Clockwork Queen skin, she will load and fire her crossbow.
If she is wearing the Pirate Queen skin, she will be waving at the player.
If she is wearing the Rogue Queen skin, she will wave toward the player in a very similar way to the original skin.
If she is wearing the Jungle Queen skin, she will bow down to the left side.
If she is wearing the Party Queen skin, she will clench her right fist and lift it to the player.
All Archer Queen skins are left handed.
Some of the Archer Queen skins have some unique features that other skins from the Archer Queen do not have.
The Warrior Queen skin has unique pink colored particles after she is deployed.
The Ice Queen skin has unique ice-like particles when you activate her ability.
When you tap the Archer Queen while she is wearing her Clockwork skin, she fires a single arrow. However, while attacking in battles se fires three.
When deployed, the Champion Queen will have a fiery ring where she is placed, which lasts for one second.
Some of the Archer Queen's skins feature her holding different weapons instead of her X-Bow:
With the Champion Queen, Magic Queen, Queen of the North, Egypt Queen, Clash Games Queen and Archer Satyr skins, the Archer Queen holds a bow instead of an X-Bow.
With the Space Queen skin, her X-Bow is replaced with a large gun with a satellite dish.
With the Wild West Queen skin, she holds two revolvers.
With the Football Queen skin, the Archer Queen uses a football instead of an X-Bow.
With the Summer Queen skin, she uses a large gun with a parasol at the end of its barrel.
With the Dark Minion Queen skin, she uses a crossbow with a green blade attached to one of her arms.
Before skins and 3D models were added, the Archer Queen used to have recoil when she attacked. A clip of this can be seen here.
Before the Archer Queen's texture was converted into a 3D model, she had visual changes at levels 10, 20, and 41.
Initially, the Archer Queen is similar to a giant Archer, but with a modified X-Bow, a silver crown, purple hair, and a green dress.
At level 10, her crown became golden.
At level 20, the stock of her modified X-Bow became golden as well. Her shots used to change from Elixir-colored to gold.
At level 41, her cloak received a golden rim, and her golden modified X-Bow stock became a darker gold color or gained a purple glow outline.
Levels 1-9 (Old Sprite)
Levels 10-19 (Old Sprite)
Levels 20-40 (Old Sprite)
Levels 41-60 (Old Sprite)
Trivia
If the Archer Queen attacks while her Invisibility Vial ability is active, her arrows change from their normal Elixir-like color to bright orange.
When she is injured or falls in battle, a small explosion occurs, she yells in pain, and a red beam shoots to the sky. After that, like all other heroes, the Archer Queen stands still and a "dizzy" animation is engaged.
Sometimes the Archer Queen attacks a wall but then may seemingly retarget and attack another wall; this is most often caused by her retargeting to a different target (usually because her previous target was destroyed).
While attacking, if your opponent's Archer Queen Altar is empty and the Archer Queen wakes up during the battle, the Altar will have a short sparkling animation but the Archer Queen will not appear to defend the base.
If you have the Archer Queen sleeping after she was knocked out twice in each battle, using a Book of Heroes will instantly regenerate both health bars, regardless of time remaining.
However, this can only apply if you have enough Dark Elixir to upgrade your Archer Queen, then finishing the upgrade afterwards.
The Hammer of Heroes can also do the same thing.
If your Archer Queen wakes up while you are in Village Edit Mode, a sparkle will appear wherever in the Altar's original location (even if you moved it already).
A maximum level Electro Dragon under a maximum-level Rage Spell can one-shot a level 1-78 Archer Queen, but a level 79 or 80 Archer Queen survives.
A level 79 Archer Queen survives with exactly 2 hitpoints left.
However, as of the latest update, a level 4 Electro Dragon can one-shot a defending Archer Queen even at level 95, due to defending Heroes not equipping Hero Equipment on defense.
Each successive upgrade of the Archer Queen adds approximately 2.1% health and 2.5% damage, but every five levels add a constant two minutes to her total regeneration time. As a consequence, the Archer Queen's regeneration rate changes as she levels up.

The Archer Queen's regeneration rate fluctuates each level, with drops in the regeneration rate every fifth level and small increases for every other level. From an initial regeneration rate of 72.5 HP per minute at level 1, it reaches a maximum of 77.1 HP per minute at level 4 and shows a downward trend up to level 25, where there is a minimum of 59.65 HP per minute. Beyond level 25, the drops at every fifth level are outweighed by the increases from the other levels, eventually reaching 88.25 HP per minute at level 79 before dropping once more to 84.88 HP per minute at level 80.
Prior to the January 29, 2014 update that introduced hero abilities, and prior to the October 12, 2020 update that removed the sleep button for Heroes, the original description for the Archer Queen, as well as the Barbarian King, were "Heroes can attack enemy villages or guard your village. Heroes can be injured, but are immortal. Heal them by letting them sleep or using the Heal button. Heroes won't defend the village while sleeping."
The Archer Queen's regeneration time has been reduced multiple times. The most recent reduction occurred on June 22, 2020.
The total upgrade time for the Archer Queen to get from level 1 to level 85 is 391.16666 days.
When initially released, the Archer Queen cost 40,000 Dark Elixir to summon. This was later reduced to 20,000 in the March 2020 update, and further reduced to 10,000 in the April 2021 update.
The first person to max out the Archer Queen and Barbarian King was a player named jessiebrar (during the initial release of Heroes, the max level for both Heroes was 30).
The Archer Queen appears with long wristbands in her artwork, but does not appear with them in battle.
She used to appear with long wristbands in her 2D sprite before being converted into 3D.
The Archer Queen's crossbow fires out three arrows, despite that it is designed to only be loaded with a single arrow.
The Archer Queen's Royal Cloak ability in Clash of Clans functions similarly to the Cloaking Cape in Clash Royale. In addition to its Clash Royale effects, it partially heals the Archer Queen and summons Archers when used in Clash of Clans.
Unlike the Archer Queen in Clash of Clans, the Archer Queen in Clash Royale is not enormous.
The "Town Hall 16" update, released on December 12, 2023, reduced the Archer Queen's hitpoints and damage by around 20% each and changed the Royal Cloak ability to be split into 2 parts, the Archer Puppet and Invisibility Vial. This was done to make Heroes weaker on defense. Her description was also changed. It used to read "This graceful huntress is a master of destructive force, though modest in health. She snipes targets in her territory when defending, and can summon stealth and terrifying damage when attacking once her Royal Cloak ability is unlocked!".
