Micah Martins 4July's Strategy Guides/Micah's Guide to Heroes

== Welcome ==
Hi, welcome to my new guide to Heroes. As we all know starting from Town Hall 7, you can unlock Heroes namely the Barbarian King then the Archer Queen at Town Hall 9 then the Grand Warden at Town Hall 11, and then lastly the Royal Champion at Town Hall 13. In this guide you will learn about Heroes.
=== What are Heroes? ===
Heroes are a special type of troop on Clash of Clans, featuring unique abilities and being immortal. These heroes also have special abilities unlocked at its level 5 stage.
There are currently 5 Heroes on Clash of Clans, 4 on your Home Village:
* Archer Queen
* Barbarian King
* Grand Warden
* Royal Champion
And 1 on the Builder Base:
* Battle Machine
=== Unlocking Heroes ===
Unlike other troops, Heroes are not unlocked by upgrading the Barracks or Dark Barracks. To unlock a Hero, you must build the respective altar on your base. Each Hero requires a different Town Hall level to unlock the altar:
* Barbarian King: Town Hall level 7 required.
* Archer Queen: Town Hall 9 level required.
* Grand Warden: Town Hall level 11 required.
* Royal Champion: Town Hall level 13 required.
* Battle Machine: Builder Hall level 5
=== Gameplay ===
Heroes have a very unique gameplay: they are immortal troops, which means they don't have to be trained each time to be used on the battles. Instead of dying, they are put to "sleep" when they run out of HP. After the battle, each Hero automatically regenerates their life over time, a process that can take up to 42 minutes and doesn't cost anything. The higher level the Hero still, the longer it takes to regenerate their life. Starting on level 5, each Hero also features a Special Ability that can be manually activated during the battles. 
All heroes from the Home Village can use their ability once. If you forget to activate the ability and the Hero is about to die, the game will automatically activate the ability, which can give him some extra lifetime depending on the Hero. The Battle Machine, the only Hero from the Builder Base, can use his ability multiple times during battles. When the ability is used, a timer shows up displaying when you can activate his ability again.

=== Extra Life ===
Introduced on the Bonus Update on 02/16/2022, all Home Village Heroes have an extra life, so the players can make two consecutive attacks without waiting for their life to regenerate after the battle first battle, even if they suffered damage. When a Hero returns from battle to the Home Village after taking damage, the Extra Life health is used towards healing these battle-worn champions. For example:
* If a Hero has 50% Health left at the end of an attack and the Extra Life bar is at 100%, then that Hero is fully healed and the Extra Life bar is reduced to 50%.
* If a Hero is reduced to 0% Health and the Extra Life bar is 100% full, then the Hero will be fully healed and the Extra Life bar is reduced to 0%.
* If a Hero is reduced to 0% and the Extra Life bar is 50% full, then the Hero is healed 50% and the Extra Life bar is reduced to 0%.
Additional information about the Hero Extra Life feature:
* Heroes first heal their health. Once their health is 100%, then the Extra Life bar will begin to regenerate.
* The rate of Extra Life regeneration from 0% to 100% is the same amount of time it takes a Hero to fully heal.
* This only affects the recovery of Heroes after attacks and does not affect a Hero’s maximum health during an attack.
* The Extra Life is shown as a heart icon next to the Hero’s HP indicator. When the Extra Life is fully regenerated to 100% it will display a heart icon with a “+1”.

=== Upgrading ===
Different from all other troops, Heroes are not upgraded on the Laboratory, they are improved by upgrading their respective altar. This requires a free Builder and they can't be used while their altar is being upgraded. The upgrades can cost Elixir or Dark Elixir, depending on the Hero. Some heroes have up to 80 levels and it can take a long time max them out. Having so many levels and being so important on the game, they are always the highest upgrade priority. The faster max them, the better.
=== Skins ===
Hero Skins were introduced on the Spring 2019 update and can be obtained by purchasing the Gold Pass and completing enough tasks on the Season Challenges. Every Season Challenges will reward a unique skin to a hero and a new Gold Pass must be purchased. Skins don't affect stats or gameplay; it is an aesthetic item that will not improve the Hero in any way.
=== Unlocking Hero Skins ===
To unlock an exclusive hero skin, you must buy the U$5 Gold Tier for the Season and complete enough challenges to get this reward. Every Season will reward an exclusive skin that can be kept forever. The first skin available was the Gladiator King for the Barbarian King. The second was the Gladiator Queen for the Archer Queen.
