Barbarian CoC – Max Level 13, Melee Stats, Super Barbarian Rage & Upgrade Guide

Barbarian is the first Home Village troop, unlocked at Town Hall 1 with Barracks level 1. At TH18 he reaches level 13, with 51 DPS, 51 damage per hit and 310 hitpoints.

He uses 1 housing space, attacks ground targets only, moves at 18, attacks once per second and has a 0.4-tile melee range. At higher Town Halls, regular Barbarians are mostly used for cheap cleanup and small funnel jobs. The Super Barbarian costs 5 housing space and brings far more damage, more health and an 8-second Rage as soon as he is deployed.

Barbarian Max Level by Town Hall

Barbarian is available before the Laboratory. After the Laboratory unlocks, each new Barbarian level is tied to the required Laboratory level. If a Town Hall does not unlock a higher eligible research level, the previous Barbarian cap remains.

The cap stays unchanged at TH3–TH4 (level 2), TH5–TH6 (level 3), TH12–TH13 (level 9) and TH16–TH17 (level 12). TH18 unlocks level 13 through Laboratory 16.

How Barbarian Targeting Works

Barbarian has no preferred building target. He moves toward a nearby reachable target and attacks at melee range. If an eligible defending ground unit engages him, he can switch from a building to fight it.

He cannot damage air units. Walls also matter because his 0.4-tile range is too short to hit through them; he must reach an opening or attack a Wall when pathing leaves no better route.

What 1 Housing Space Lets You Do

At 1 housing space, a Barbarian is easy to keep for small jobs: checking an exposed area, removing an outside building, adding a little ground damage or starting cleanup from several places.

The downside is fragility. A large group sent through one tile can disappear quickly to splash damage.

Barbarian Battle Roles from TH1 to TH18

Early Town Halls: put Barbarians in front of Archers so they take the first ground fire while the Archers attack from behind.

Funneling: a few Barbarians can remove exposed buildings and narrow the path for the main army.

Cleanup: one 1-space Barbarian is useful for an isolated ground building when the area is safe.

Higher Town Halls: regular Barbarians are usually kept for cleanup or small funnel jobs. Use Super Barbarians when the outside buildings are defended or when you need a stronger push from the edge.

Before You Drop a Barbarian

Before droppingCheck splash coverage

Against WallsConfirm the path

For a funnelUse only what is needed

For cleanupStart before time runs out

Against air defendersBarbarian cannot hit them

Mass deploymentSpread when possible

Check the route before deploying. A Barbarian dropped into splash damage, on the wrong side of a Wall, or next to a defending ground troop can be pulled away from the building you wanted him to hit. For cleanup, send him early enough that he has time to reach and finish the target.

Common Barbarian Mistakes

Group disappears fastDo not stack into splash

Wrong building reachedClear nearer pathing first

Stuck on WallsCreate or choose an entry

Air defender survivesAdd an air-targeting unit

Cleanup starts lateDeploy safe cleanup earlier

Too much army spentUse the 1-space advantage

Barbarian on Defense and in the Clan Castle

Barbarian can fight eligible ground attackers when defending, but he cannot hit air units. His 1-space size allows many units to fit into a Clan Castle, yet clustered Barbarians remain vulnerable to splash damage and spells. Donation level caps can also reduce the received troop level at lower Clan Castle levels.

Super Barbarian: 8-Second Rage and Current Stats

Super Barbarian unlocks when the regular Barbarian reaches level 8. A boost costs 25,000 Dark Elixir or one Super Potion and lasts 3 days. His Super level matches the regular Barbarian level.

At level 13, he has 270 DPS, 216 damage per hit and 1,450 HP. He uses 5 housing space, moves at 20, attacks every 0.8 seconds from 0.6 tiles, targets ground only and has no preferred target.

For the first 8 seconds after deployment, his built-in Rage adds +70% damage and +16 movement speed. At level 13 that works out to 459 DPS and movement speed 36 while the Rage is active.

Super Barbarians are especially useful on the outside of a base. Drop one close to the first building so the 8-second Rage is spent attacking instead of walking.

They can remove defended outside buildings, open a funnel and keep pushing through a few buildings when supported. Because each one costs 5 housing space, every deployment should have a clear target.

They still attack ground targets only, deal single-target damage and have no preferred target. Their built-in Rage does not stack with a Rage Spell. After 8 seconds, their damage and movement return to normal.

Barbarian or Super Barbarian?

Regular Barbarian: 1 housing space. Best for cheap cleanup, exposed buildings and small funnel jobs.

Super Barbarian: 5 housing space. Better when the target is defended and you need enough health and damage to win the outside fight.

If one regular Barbarian can finish the job, save the army space. If the building is protected or the funnel needs more force, the Super Barbarian is the stronger choice.

At level 13, the opening Rage raises the calculated output to 459 DPS, 367.2 damage per hit and movement speed 36.

If he attacks continuously for all 8 seconds, the calculation reaches 3,672 damage. Walking and changing targets reduce the actual total.

For the same 5 housing space, five level-13 Barbarians have 100 more combined HP. One level-13 Super Barbarian has 15 more base DPS; during the opening Rage, the DPS gap becomes 204. Five separate troops can spread out, while one Super Barbarian keeps the damage in a single unit.

Barbarian King Connection: Barbarian Puppet

Barbarians can also enter a Home Village attack through the Barbarian King's Barbarian Puppet. This Common Hero Equipment is an active ability: when the King's ability is used, the Puppet summons a group of Raged Barbarians.

The summon only exists while Barbarian Puppet is equipped. Swapping it for another King equipment removes the Barbarian summon and replaces that equipment slot with the new effect. Supercell later buffed Barbarian Puppet as a stronger starter option for players using Barbarian King equipment.

Barbarian Update Timeline

Barbarian has changed in small steps rather than one complete rework. The biggest milestones are new regular levels, new Super Barbarian levels and the removal of Home Village troop training time.

Barbarian & Super Barbarian Trivia

TRIVIA

Super Barbarian was one of the original four Super Troops released with the Spring Update on 30 March 2020, alongside Sneaky Goblin, Super Wall Breaker and Super Giant.
At launch, Super Barbarian already used 5 housing space, moved at 20 and began with an 8-second Rage.
The original 2020 Super Troop system kept a boost active for 7 days and only one Super Troop could be active at a time. Later in 2020, Supercell changed boosts to 3 days, reduced the standard cost to 25,000 Dark Elixir, allowed two simultaneous boosts and introduced the Super Potion.
Super Barbarian launched with levels 8 and 9. Level 10 arrived with the TH14 update, and level 11 was added in the October 2022 update.
Its Super level follows the underlying Barbarian level, which is why the current stat table runs from Super Barbarian 8 through 13.
Despite the name “Rage,” its opening ability is built into the troop itself. The current unit data lists +70% damage and +16 movement speed during that opening window.
Barbarian level 13 arrived on 27 April 2026 with the Sound of Clash update, giving the regular Barbarian a new TH18 upgrade and raising his maximum stats to 51 DPS and 310 HP.
