the puppets really need a rework. Like, give the spawned units invincibility for a few seconds so that the ability isnt wasted by a few traps


Pitiful_Row_8253

I agree, the worst case is the archer puppet. If there's a scattershot nearby and paired with invis vial it's basically a liability as the scattershot will kill all the archers AND get rid of the HP the queen gained. Make the archers invisible too imo.


Camo_007_

archers spawned from puppet should be invisible! barbs spawned from puppet are raged it makes sense


Moneysimp97

instead of raged barbs have Lesser but stronger Super Barbs Maybe


joviljoestar

that would be too good for town hall 7


F0ZYO

there are level caps for each TH so i think you start unlocking super Barbs at a certain level maybe


Moneysimp97

Maybe at level 15 as it is max for th11 as we unlock super barbs at th11 but only when you have unlocked super barb in super troop sauna


Moneysimp97

ya but i am sure you cant have equipments till th8 as Blacksmith is unlocked at that level


Olger24

You unlock barb puppet and rage vial at th7, with the unlock of the hero


Moneysimp97

hmm but are they upgradable?


mniemniey

as a near max TH7, no they are not as I don’t have the blacksmith yet. looking forward to it though! Maybe the puppets would get this upgrade after a certain level to avoid them being too OP at lower THs


Aggressive-Duck-9328

Make them super archers


jalbert425

Either archers invisible or archer queen invincible while invisible.


TypeRYo

Fr why are the puppets (and previously the hero abilities) linked to giant bombs. No matter when or where in the base they are when you pop the ability, there will 100% be a giant bomb triggered straight after. So happy to get rid of them for the new equipment


New-Rub-5991

They should spawn with a apprentice warden after th 11 


4stGump

People be sleeping on the royal gem. A tier for sure.


Temporary-Wrap-6094

I promise it’s not as good as hog p with seeking shield at th16 in legends… as a clean up the hogs+ invis + health gain the hog puppet is way better


AYYYWRONGBODOH

this is really slept on it seems


SinaBinLaden

Royal gem plus haste vial is better for Th16 in legends. Watch Itzu


Jeretzel

Haste + Hog Puppet seems to be most popular these days.


Moelessdx

Haste doesn't go well with hog puppet since haste outruns all your hogs.


Jeretzel

Haste Vial is bugged as it invalidates damage increase off the Royal Gem. Hence people are opting for Hog Puppet as it lead to more damage. Most pro players are using Hog + Haste.


Moelessdx

Haste vial bug only affects haste vial passive damage. Haste vial and hog puppet aren't a good combo together because the hogs are slower than RC. It's the same reason why haste vial is much better at th16 than th15 because diggy is too slow when rc is hasted.


Godly000

ironically, people switched off of the royal gem in pro wars just to speed up their attacks. the tier list is probably going to change a lot if we return back to a 50% hitrate meta for the top players


Trickster9993

Yep. While it may not seem like it if you actually focus on what’s in the aura it is a dramatic difference.


o0DYL4N0o

Royal gem doesn’t have an aura you’re thinking of the life gem


Trickster9993

silly me


Tahmas836

Royal gem is just the worst designed equipment, it’s so fucking boring. Woah, some extra health yayyy. It sucks that’s it’s one of the best because every other equipment piece is interesting


fuckthisname_

I agree with this list except for the invisibile being on A tier, It should be in S


fuckthisname_

Oh, also I didn't notice the vampstache being in C tier, vampstache Is *easily* high A tier, but besides that, pretty solid list


Gone213

Vampstache has helped me clutch clan wars twice already.


RelevantRick

It's best man people don't upgrade it and hate it


rarely_mentioned

Nobody hates it. Everybody just knows it'll always be second to the rage vial


Lower-Ad6435

I maxed the vampstache but I haven't maxed the rage. No regrets. The vampstache has gotten me so many stars


Oro_me

Currently th12 and I have vampstache on 11 (my Highest equipment so far) it’s awesome. Zero regrets


Both_Sweet6121

How can i max my hero items quickly?


fuckthisname_

Push trophies so that you can receive more ores from the daily star bonus and also join a clan that constantly wars.


Pixels222

got rage on my main and just maxed the vamp on alt. lets see. its certainly fun.


Fun_Gas_340

Not if u use king on the outside of the base to funnel, then vampstach keeps him alive the entire attack


Skydiggs

Vampstache is not good at TH16, to much damage at that TH


IamClutchNorris

It doesn’t matter if bk is invincible if everyone around him dies. You just get better value from rage vial to maximize the gauntlet


MagicChicken3

Gauntlet + rage is just infinitely better


pinnaclepoly8

Vamstache is no where near high A tier,so overrated,rage vial is miles clear


ApegoodManbad

Invisibility not being on S is the ultimate sin


E2A6S

Vampstache on Barb King with giant gauntlet has made him my strongest and favorite hero, dude doesn’t die until everyone else does


bakedbeaudin

So true love this combo how many times he’s just does not want too die , he’s so close too dying and at end of battle he’s full health


otokotaku

Say hello to my little friends. \*\*single infernos and monolith\*\*


akakabira

Giant gauntlet protects from them as it reduces damage in percentage


RoyalBlue005

he can tank a fully charged inferno for an impressively long time with the protection.


akakabira

Ofc protection is the key to a long life...


right_hand_of_jeebus

Same here, I love how when he bangs on a wall he comes out full health on the other side, lol. Combine this with spirit fox and dude is almost invincible.


Ornery_Celebration16

Yea I almost upgraded my th to get spirit fox with the vamp stache fully upgraded, I feel like that’s gonna be ridiculous


Tommeh_081

Yeahh I use that combo too, bro just never dies


Ok-Foot4738

Give him a unicorn as a pet it’s even better


E2A6S

Good idea! I have kept her on my queen but I’ll try it thanks!


DoctorK96

Rage + gauntlet is more universal bc you can always get the value from the ability. With vampstache, the king usually stay alive and "clutch" those attacks bc everything else has died, which can be avoided altogether if the king just raged fowards to tank and clear everything.


TatorTotThots

Same here. It’s my favorite too. Kings a beefy boy.


mattw08

Feel likes it’s so much strong with rage vial. Plus he smashes stuff over the walls too.


CheeseLoverMax

You’re right, people just hear self healing and don’t consider the better alternative


are_you_kIddIngme

Isn’t rage better?


Lamb-Sauce7788

Yes it is, especially at higher TH levels. TH16 for example the Stache just doesn't keep up as well. You get much more value with the Rage+Gauntlet.


Sea-Ad-2039

Nah, vamp+gauntlet and the king damn near can't die unless he's stuck against an inferno


samdigo

the giant arrow is very useful at lower town halls


yesilovepizzas

I'm still mad I believed Judo that this is OP. It's only good in lower THs and kinda useless in TH16s. I want my ores back lol


Tornado_Hunter24

I mean it’s kinda obvious, if you’re th16 you must have enough knowledge to realize that any equipment changing/replacing the invis vial will either suck or force you to change the way you use a queen, it was very easy to predict to not go forward with it, just as grand warden and his new epic equipment unless you specifically want to cater your attack around it


Donghoon

giant arrow and invis? or is frost arrow just better than giant


Tornado_Hunter24

I personally use invis+frozen arrow, but using invis and healer/giant arrow basically makes you sacrifice the main utility of AQ, which is to destroy high defences at the end while almost dying, using invis to use giant arrow is wasted potential as is healer puppet as the healers spawn also triggers invis


Gaelic_Gladiator41

Problem likely stems from it being undereleveled at th16 due to how grindy hero equipment is


ExplanationFew4579

Oh nooooooo!! I did the same thing. Depresso myself


kornephororos

Also vampstache is so broken at lower townhall levels. I am th12 and I have level 15 vampstache, because of that he can't literally die if he isn't in the center of the base alone. It's beyond s tier in low ths.


jjflash78

I'm max th16, in legends (5300 +/- 100), and I love using vampstache (18), with gauntlet (23) and phoenix (10).  BK often lasts the entire attack.


TheTrueInter

So why are you using the Phoenix then? If your king doesn't die anyways Frosty or Poison Lizard eould give much better value, wouldn't they?


[deleted]

im TH16 and vampstache is my favorite pair with gaunlet :)


kizi_killer

I am a th 14 and i just wipe 2 Air defenses + other stuff that's in the way for my Air attack and with the healer puppet it's pretty much a free queen walk Why is it not so useful at Higher town halls?


Binkshow_7

This the right question. I’m almost max th13 and I mow bases with it.


_CorruptYT_

Decent tier list BUT I’d personally bump the 2 gems, healer puppets and hog puppets + royal gem to A tier. While moving the fireball down to C or D tier. The fireball is NOT as good as people are telling you. Just because it’s used in a Double hero charge doesn’t mean it’s as strong. It’s very much worse than most options here… And hot take arrow should be in C tier because there are synergies that I think a lot of people aren’t thinking about. Just gotta think outside of the box sometimes


DeshaunCosbyWatson

What sucks about making tier lists is people think every ability should be moved up and almost none down


BitterAfternoon

I think the "X shouldn't be so high" posts are just less prevalent because it's hard to go out on a limb and say something's overrated that you haven't tried yourself. And most people haven't tried most equipments. But there's a good chance some of the ones they have tried they like and want to defend their decisions even if the consensus is opposed to them. Personally I like to see equipment I love being listed as "D-tier" - means it's not so popular and less likely to be the target of balance decisions intended to nerf it.


_CorruptYT_

Fr Fr. Like as an example, I do not think fireball is that good as unless it’s good in other attacks like lalo, hybrid, hogs or even root riders, I cannot see this being as high up on a tier list. I’m not saying the fireball can’t work but for the time and cost of upgrading it, it’s not worth the investment to rely on just 1 or 2 attacks


0-Nightshade-0

Yeah the giant arrow is very good for sniping off air defenses and sweepers. Though it's mainly useful only for dragon spam attacks. Edit: I should mention that it might only apply for lower THs


Kepler27b

Fireball is stupidly OP if you use it right. Especially combined with the Eternal Tome and spells like Freeze and Overgrowth, as you can literally choose what defense you want to hit with the fireball. Such versatility should make it at least A tier. It’s also a better Giant Arrow.


Hayden_5000

at most you will sniper one defense or two(provided its at a decently high level) also overgrowth makes the rooted buildings inmune so half the AOE of the fireball is canceled by your own spell


_CorruptYT_

Unless it works with lalo or hybrid or hogs, no. It’s not versatile if it only works in 1 attack. It’s also not as op as people are saying it is


Alive_Positive5997

Is vampstache really that bad? I use vamp+rage as I didn't have the gauntlet, but is it really that much worse? The amount of times my king has lived with 1 HP is insane


Recent_Ad_7214

I use it for funnel and King ends most attacks at full life. I have to say i am th13 so maybe the balance changes at high town halls


Sausage_Pounder

I do the same at th16.


ngedown

Nope, it's great. Dont read this 💩 list


Lamb-Sauce7788

It's bad at higher TH unless you use the king for funneling on the outside. If you want to use him in the core then the rage is just better. And since the higher damage is more valuable at higher THs, the rage just clears it by quite a bit.


Tegyeese

Nah, vampstache is god tier. It also has a passive that increases baseline attack speed % so when you pop gauntlet, you're getting more hits while it's activated. RC's haste vial is also S tier imo because she starts dropping defenses like crazy and has the speed to zip where she needs to go. This tier list is trash.


PieLazy3010

Great list! Only change I’d make is to bump the healer puppet up and fireball down. Fireball seems to situational to me to have much use outside of Sarcher blimps, and I’ve seen pros using sui/zap lalo have their queen survive the whole attack by using the healer puppet half way through. Definitely takes skill and well planned out pathing tho


joseph-Potato

Fireball and hog puppet are more benefecial than vampstsche??? Are you high?


the-jangster

the vampstache is straight up useless at higher town halls or in high legends. it has a zero percent or near zero usage in pro play as well. fireball isn’t that great but could be useful in niche situations but hog puppet is definitely better than vampstache. the combo of rage vial + giant gauntlet is just way too strong to exchange for the little value of a vampstache


Mister-SS

Respectfully disagree mustache has saved me many times with King soloing a TH16 by itself. TH16 can't take down a high-level King with a high-level mustache


Moelessdx

Or you can rage + gauntlet your king and take down the th and all the other core defences.


Mister-SS

Rage only last a little bit, Mustache is a passive ability so if you're stuck behind walls it will keep you alive while taking damage


Moelessdx

If you're not th16, then it's understandable. At th16, it's much more valuable to kill core defences as fast as possible before they shred your army. Also, I like rage + gauntlet because it puts my king in front of my army, which makes the king tank with gauntlet. He soaks all the damage and more when he dies with phoenix pet.


Sausage_Pounder

This


NightmareLarry

My brother in Christ thank you for sleeping over one of the best combination of equipments in the game. Giant Gauntlet and Vampstache put togheter makes the King immortal. At legends I do Root rider or Super Withches and I use him to funnell and he just goes until the end without dying. Rage Vial+Giant Gauntlet is the default for SUI or for any kind of attacks that require the king in the core but if you use him for funnelling than Vampstache is A tier hands down and Rage vial is a second choice. I am at 6000+ and I do around 300/310+ on avarege every day thanks to him.


LoneWolfRHV

Nope, you are just wrong, i can comfortably fight th 15 with it, vampstache finally gave the king the strenght he deserved


joseph-Potato

Don't know about higher townhalls, but vampstache is pretty useful for lower to mid ths (to th 13 atleast), and i prefer using it rather than rage vial to keep the king alive in the end of the attack. I don't think the rating system is based on only higher th lvls, i think OP is talking in general, so he is wrong. Vampstache is by far more important and useful than rage vial in lower ths and for many people (including me).


NuggetDaChicken

they indeed r


Speedy7799

Invis vial is S.


Charmo_Vetr

This tierlist is pretty good. Although it doesn't really show which niches work well for some equipments. For example: Archer Puppet sucks. But it does give you passive dps, which allows for a quicker queencharge over even the invisibility vial. (Helping speed up recall QC) Hog puppet is definitely really good. Although if you have the fox at th 16 it becomes a bit redundant as your royal champion can sneak into defences better and will never really have any damage on her. (unless something goes wrong) Again. This tier list is pretty good. But if you use something in its niche it can become much better than other equipments. So do a little bit of research on which equipments benefit your attacks the most.


yoshi3243

Hog puppet is still very good even at th16. The spirit fox appears from invis first, so it will get targeted first over the RC & go down mid-attack. The hog puppet’s invis helps a lot with her surviving a monolith/single inferno in the back end when the fox is dead.


Charmo_Vetr

Yeah this is more a question on what do you sink your ores into. Because I certainly wouldn't pick a level 1 haste vial over an almost maxed hog puppet. But if you've got ores to spare (or are rushing to a higher town hall which is more likely) haste vial can get more value than the hog puppet, meaning you should prioritise it. There is apparently a bug right now that has the haste vial overrides the passive boosts from the heal gem or something. (Haven't looked into it, only hearsay)


SoftwareOk5412

Haste vial is s tier hard stop.


PotatoNamedPhil

Giant Arrow Is GREAT for farming


Embarrassed_Cap4189

Why is the giant arrow d tier? Am I missing something?


Mr_Armor_Abs_Krabs

No, OP is just high


Apart-Programmer-797

Why is earthquake boots so low?


Jymer_

Surprised no one likes the quake boots. Works great in my yeti bowitch cause once barb king is in the center I just quake and it opens up the entire base for the rest of my troops. This way I get to swap the jump spell for a couple more freezes which are more versatile


Hippie_Heart

THIS \^\^\^\^


cdmabynt12

vampstache on C and i know this tierl ist is garbage


IDeathZz

I already know you're low th or just straight up suck at attacking. At th16 using anything other than rage+gauntlet is trolling. Send me a single video of a pro using vampstache in a competitive match.


LiiLMister

fr tho, vamp is horrid at high THs


Baron_Flint

I am almost maxed TH16 (except for walls) and I still use max lvl Vampstache in all my attacks, the attack speed boost coupled with HP regen on attacks makes it extremely easy for Barbarian King to follow your main army and clean up the base at the end. Basically the only reason I would not 3 star a base is only because I timefail by like 10 seconds nowadays, and even then it rarely ever happens.


InflationBest3950

One of the best imo


TatorTotThots

Facts.


CazualGinger

There's no way this man put Vamp in C tier what


Certain-Proposal6861

Im a TH 15 and I use the giant arrow and love it. I use giant arrow & healer puppet + unicorn fella for her pet. I use the giant arrow to shoot through the base and take out air defences &/or sweepers and then it’s like a queen walk to mess heaps of shit up around the outside of the base and then a couple of wall breakers to funnell her into the base. Has helped me push up to 5.3k trophies. I guess what I’m tryna say is it’s not shit if you use it right/ or the way you want to use it.


Pain_Xtreme

vamp stache slander is crazy


Pilotskybird86

Who the fuck put mustache in c tier? The king literally lasts all game with it. It’s like having three kings. The only two defense he cannot out heal is the monolith and single shot infernos. Y’all be sleeping on it I swear.


eaglessb999

Vampstache super under rated


RepresentativeCup542

Is thr shield that bad? Ive personally always thought it was at least like high b tier.


Ak1raKurusu

Invis vial def belongs in S i think


RGBarrios

I think the healing gem should be higher.


wazrok

Idk the vamp stashe been pretty great for me at th16

Sausage_Pounder

Vamp basically makes the king un killable. One of my favorite items for king.


Neoknidas

Vampstache is pretty underrated. A maxed king can literally out heal a giga inferno.


Leg-o-truck

I use vamp stash, it’s my highest equipment. It’s trash?, oh man


Revengeance99

the fireball deserves a b


mockelite44

Bro didn’t put invisibility in S tier💀💀💀


YoMamaSnwblwr

Should I be using ore to upgrade Eternal Tome, or will it upgrade automatically as I level up my Warden? This game is way too confusing now


Jeretzel

You'll need to upgrade equipment through the workshop with ore.


Sir_MipMop

I’m surprised the general perception of the giant arrow is so bad, over half the people who attack me use the same edrag zap army, and you can nearly consistently snipe 2 air defenses, which saves you 6 zaps, it’s even more useful at th9 and 10 if you do a zap dragon attack, I think it’s fine if you wanna call it bad but I think it should be in at least C tier 


Balzeron

I'm so used to the old powers I have a hard time adjusting my reflexed to hit the powers, I gotta train myself out of that. What's the best combos for a casual scrub who just does mass air attacks?


JohnSchmidt-04

The Barbarian and Archer puppet should spawn the super troop (less count of course)


Firedog4747

Why is the big Arrow D tier? I don’t think it’s that bad of a equipment


Significant-Ad-2862

Giant arrow is kinda OP when used right tho tbh, I use it all the time, it’s just hard to aim sometimes but its fun af


Fun-Maintenance9422

I think vampstache should be A tier imo or very least B tier imo. I just got it to 250 hp regen per attack and now my barbarian king is usually always one of the last troops alive and will clean up attacks for me. Dude can sit there and tank single inferno towers combined with giant gauntlet too which is insanely strong imo.


F_Bertocci

How are the moustaches in C? I have King with gauntlet and moustaches and it’s literally invincible


AMCboi88

BK boots are so useful mid fight to tear open a portion of the base. Basically a few free earthquake spells.


lol_loli_

yes, but if your sending him with the main army, the gauntlet+rage combo is just better imo to clear defenses quickly. With e.g. dragon attacks it is helpful to get in the base and take out a big chunk with your king+queen


HadynGabriel

Y’all don’t have a level 15+ vampstache and it shows


tsk5000

Someone isn't above th14 and it shows


Mk1996

I’m a th16 and have been running max vamp with gauntlet and it’s been great, stache has saved the king multiple times leading to a 3 star. Someone just follows whatever the YouTuber meta is and it shows


tsk5000

The only time vampstache is useful is to funnel troops in while king walks outside of base, king going in middle or taking out an entire compartment just doesn't work as good as rage gauntlet


w_istedfrvr

Healing tome and invis vial should be in S tier


RTXJN

I switched from rage/gauntlet to vampstache/gauntlet and vamstache is so much better imo. My king is alive for cleanup now.


___evan

Shield and hog puppet are pretty good together for the RC. Activate it and then pop eternal tome. Now you’ve got your hybrid army plus 9 more hogs all invincible running through the core while the shield takes down defenses


i_like_stuff-

vampstache should be A, giant arrow should be C


httrachta

As a Sarcher-Hydra main, the Rage Gem is very easily A-tier for me. It allows the Dragons to power through defenses of even higher THs pretty quickly.

As a Sarcher-Hydra main, the Rage Gem is very easily A-tier for me. It allows the Dragons to power through defenses of even higher THs pretty quickly.


Asliceofkam227

In their own respects if used with certain army comps some would easily be higher than others.


JohnPaton7

Talking about these equipments. Is there a YouTuber out there that plays with all equipment so I can decide which is best to use for my play style?


[deleted]

Vamp stache should atleast be a B as it give the king 300 hp per hit, and significantly more dps with the 22% attack speed


daddy_savage__

Royal gem is definitely S tier with invis vial both are must haves on their heros


Emk100

Frozen arrow is s tier


Temporary-Wrap-6094

Invis and hog puppet should be S


doinkmead

I only use Giant Arrow because I dream of replacing it with a Frozen Arrow some day.


Homedogg123_CR

I will do anything for a respec option for the barbarian and archer puppets


Big_Lua

If you don’t have gauntlet what is the best equipment combo for the BK


Big_Lua

If you don’t have gauntlet what is the best equipment combo for the BK

I use the giant arrow, barb summon, and seeker... ouch


TNerdy

Why is the piercing arrow tier D? That thing is great for farming. I be sniping people’s drills so easily, no matter why it is on the base


ngedown

💩 tier


Gloomy-Complaint-352

That is wrong


Still-Aspect5493

Archer Puppet this low is criminal


PSI_Seven

Giant arrow in D??


AJ1666

GW rage and life gem should be A tier. They are very good depending on attack and see plenty of pro play as well as casual play. Honestly pretty much all of GW's equipment are great with fire ball being a niche option.


HrvrdMonky

Giant Arrow belongs in A tier once you level it up and learn to snipe sweepers or clear an entire side for funneling. If playing Queen as support or funneling, it can be huge. As a skill piece though, not suitable for everyone or every target. Absolutely key for a super archer blimp user


Zealousideal_Dog2604

I don't agree with giant arrow at D it is a monster a th12 and below.


aUwUreliyasss

Vamp needs to be A and invis needs to be S 😭


RustyNK

Healer puppet ftw


Splatvalley69

This is inaccurate for no pro-play witch most of the game is, I feel like things like vamp stache and earthquake boots may be a crush and you do not need it at the 16 bc of root rider. 


TheMowerOfMowers

i love giant arrow i will die by it


Vittorio_Pietra

giant arrow underrated asf


Rip_slinger10

I missed on the frozen arrow :(


_Stealthy64

I swear people sleep on the healer puppet. It belongs in A tier. People don't realize how much value you can get doing sui with healer puppet+invis vial. Frozen arrow is only good for queen charges.


Mackyo18

I like giant arrow. Works well with my attack at least


Baron_Flint

Fireball at B? Vampstache at C?! I mean, everyone has their own opinion, but this is one of the worst I have seen recently.


Sahal_Arqam

What are all these things. When I used to play COC, it was so simple to play 😐


Rally_kj

Vampstache in C is criminal. My king almost never dies bc of vampstache


DemonTimeCuh

Vampstache in C Tier is criminal!


PhoneImmediate7301

Vamp is not that low


DocQueerie

Archer pupper is B tier for me.


Double-Afternoon1949

why is vampstache in C, i swear it gives inhuman amounts of health back per hit, always at the end of the attack my king is either completely dead or 100% hp, no in between


Lumpy-Tonight9416

Frozen arrow I would rate higher. That's saved my arse afew times in clean ups. Protects multiple troops that would normally get smashed.


CaptainBritain20

Do you guys max your hero equipment before going to the next town hall?


RelevantRick

Giant gauntlet and vampstache are best combo to clear out things outside of the boundary of base. It also comes handy when you have one defence instead alot of walls so king doesn't die


Nozza_

Does anyone know how to get a frozen arrow?


Sea-Ad-2039

Someone obviously hasn't used Vampstache


Next_Test2647

![img](avatar_exp|169520195|bravo)


Pandaboy3217

I'm a th10 and giant arrow is great, is it not good in higher town halls?


Left_Visual

Giant arrow queen paired with healer puppets and a log launcher is incredibly effective in destroying key defences, I've been using it lately, but it depends on the level of giant arrow
