After reaching Town Hall 15 in Clash of Clans, the Barbarian King transforms from the so-called Slipper King to the Phoenix Baron. This is partly due to the accumulation of levels, and partly because of the assistance of battle pets and new equipment, especially the new equipment, which breaks the Barbarian King’s conventional attack methods and revitalizes him for a second time! With the introduction of Town Hall 16, players now have access to a wider array of equipment options, allowing for more diverse and powerful combinations
So, how should the Barbarian King be equipped in daily gameplay of COC? For most players, if you currently lack Ores, this guide will help you greatly to utilize your Ores in highest efficiency. If you’re rich in Ores, or you already have many COC Gems that can be exchanged into Ores, you can just feel free to spend all your Ores on upgrading the recommended legendary equipment!
Best Choice for Barbarian King – Epic Equipment
The best combination for the Barbarian King is two epic pieces of equipment, which are Spiky Ball and Giant Gauntlet. If you have enough Ores, you can freely upgrade these two pieces to highlight their advantages! If they can be upgraded to max level, the Barbarian King can easily clear a large area of buildings!
The best equipment for the Barbarian King
On one hand, these two pieces of epic equipment enhance the Barbarian King’s attribute, providing a temporary boost to damage and health when his abilities are activated. On the other hand, their active skills release a Barbarian King who not only deals high burst damage within an area but also has a certain degree of group damage, complementing each other well!
Of course, this is under the circumstances that you have enough resources. If you want to upgrade the two pieces of epic equipment to max level or to overshadow other regular equipment, the cost in Ores will be extremely high. So consider a COC top up, which is the easiest way for you to have enough resources to level up all these two pieces of powerful equipment.
For players who lack Ores, the Spiky Ball can be temporarily set aside. After all, there are too many epic skills, and if you’re not the core charger, there’s no need to upgrade them all!
Good Choice for Barbarian King Equipment – Barbarian Puppet
If there is no suitable equipment in the early stages, using the Barbarian Puppet is also a good choice. However, if you upgrade other equipment, the Barbarian Puppet could be neglected, as the addition of Barbarian Puppet is far less substantial than other equipment. But remember, you can always buy Clash of Clans Gems to get and upgrade the useful equipment to fasten your upgrade process.
Barbarian Puppet is also a good choice when lack of resources
Helpful, But Not Game-changing – Earthquake Boots
The Earthquake Boots seem to be of great help to the Barbarian King, as using them after activating his ability is equivalent to causing earthquake spell damage to surrounding targets. However, the actual effect is not as significant as imagine. The earthquake range is not large, and the overall benefit is not as high as expected. It is far less effective than helping the Barbarian King break walls from the outside or using the earthquake spell to clear internal walls, so they can also be appropriately sacrificed in general situations.
Earthquake Boots could be helpful, but not significantly
Budget Equipment Combination for Barbarian King
Rage Vial and Vampstache
If you do not have enough Glowy and Starry Ores in the early stages, you can use Rage Vial and Vampstache. This combination of equipment is also very powerful; the Rage Vial can increase the attack efficiency temporarily, and the Vampstache can ensure sufficient endurance for the Barbarian King. In the Haaland Level 11 Challenge, the reason why the Barbarian King is so powerful is entirely due to the Vampstache’s blessing. After increasing the rage, the Barbarian King also has the ability to heal quickly, so it’s highly recommended for players to focus on this combination.
Of course, for high-level players, you can completely upgrade the Rage Vial and Barbarian Puppet to max level in the early stages to save a lot of Ores!
Giant Gauntlet and Rage Vial
If you have a surplus of Ores, you can initially make do with ordinary equipment and gradually accumulate Ores to upgrade the Giant Gauntlet. It’s not too late to start using it once the Giant Gauntlet reaches level 18!
The combination of Giant Gauntlet and Rage Vial is particularly targeted at the Barbarian King’s combat environment inside enemy formations. Using the skills temporarily can cause high AOE damage to surrounding buildings. If you are just clearing the edges or not following the main force into the center, it is far less effective than using other equipment combinations. Therefore, players who often use the Barbarian King to charge into the center can first upgrade the Rage Vial to max level, then make do with the Barbarian Puppet, and after the Giant Gauntlet reaches level 18, replace the Barbarian Puppet with the Giant Gauntlet, and gradually upgrade it to max level! For this process, it’s always a good choice to top up COC Gems because it requires many Ores to upgrade, and Ores can be purchased for Gems directly in the Blacksmith interface, which will save a lot of time.
Summary of Barbarian King Equipment
In summary, players have a lot of choices when it comes to equipping the Barbarian King, Barbarian King’s equipment strategy is a delicate balance between resource management and tactical deployment. If you have enough ores, you can prioritize upgrading the Spiky Ball and Giant Gauntlet. If not, you can make do with the substitute equipment, as ordinary equipment is still very powerful under normal circumstances!
