Yet another powerful addition to the Clash of Clans Hero Equipment roster is here to come – and this time, the Royal Champion is ready to gear up with the new Rocket Spear. But is it worth the grind?
Clash of Clans players, it is time for yet another “Is this Hero Equipment worth hours of grind and gems?” But this time, we’re celebrating the first time the Royal Champion gets epic equipment.
When the first leaks of the Royal Champion’s Rocket Spear floated around Clash of Clans forums, many players expressed that it reminded them of Attack on Titan’s exploding spears. Below, we’ll list all you need to know about the new hero equipment, and we’ll find out if it’s worth the grind.
How do I get the Rocket Spear in Clash of Clans?
Much like the Grand Warden’s Fireball item, the Rocket Spear can be obtained through the Super Troop Event – this time the Super Wall Breaker Event.
All players in Town Hall 8 and above may now use the Super Wallbreaker with the event pass. The more stars and completion percentage you accomplish with attacks using the Super Wallbreaker, the faster you obtain the Super Medals.
The Rocket Spear is available on the Event Shop tab of the Trader, costing 1850 Super Medals.
How do you use Rocket Spear in Clash of Clans?
The first level of the Rocket Spear gives you five spears that the Royal Champion will throw upon skill activation. Each spear deals 350 extra damage and can be thrown from a range of 10 tiles, making it the longest-ranged Hero skill aside from the Archer Queen’s Giant Arrow.
The number of spears increases every 9 levels, with the maximum level Rocket Spear having eight.
The Rocket Spear is great for targeting key defenses that may lie near the walls and border but not near enough for a Queen Charge to eliminate. I would advise using the Rocket Spear with Seeking Shield to make your Royal Champion a single-unit threat to eliminate or damage pockets of harsh defenses easily.
You may use this strategy for a hybrid attack or a Dragon/ Electro Dragon Spam.
Should you get the Rocket Spear?
As the Royal Champion’s first epic equipment, I suggest you get the Rocket Spear.
My general rule of thumb for all epic equipment is that if you regularly play Clash of Clans and accomplish the current event anyway, you should always get the equipment over any other Magic Item or Book available in the Trader Shop.
The meta of Clash of Clans constantly changes, and some competitive creators and pro players may open up a new use for equipment further down the road. Having the equipment ready in your arsenal will always be better than waiting for it to be available in the Trader Shop.
Will the Rocket Spear be available in the Trader Shop?
Much like other epic-grade Hero Equipment, you may expect the Rocket Spear to be available in the Trader Shop in future updates. It will cost 1500 Gems and will only be available for a couple of weeks.
