Royal Champion Attack

  • Send the RC after the main army has tanked the first defense layer.
  • Use her to finish a planned defense path, not as a random early drop.
  • Hold her ability for the defense cluster that can stop the final phase of the attack.

Equipment Changes Her Role

Haste Vial and Hog Rider Puppet are a flexible pair for many attacks because the Royal Champion gains speed, recovery, invisibility and extra units to absorb fire. Seeking Shield with Rocket Spear leans toward deep-defense removal, while Hog Rider Puppet with Royal Gem gives a Royal Champion Charge more staying power.

Electro Boots can add close-range damage and self-healing. With Haste Vial it supports a fast charge through clustered defenses; with Hog Rider Puppet the summoned Riders can help tank while the Boots damage nearby targets.

Pet Choice

Spirit Fox is a strong fit for Royal Champion Charges because invisibility can help her survive as she moves through defenses. Other pets can be better when the army needs stuns, extra damage or tanking, so the pet should match her job in the attack.

Royal Champion Defense

  • Place her where multiple high-DPS defenses can cover her.
  • Keep the surrounding defense path awkward so a direct RC snipe costs spells or time.
  • On base review, check whether an attacker can pull her away from the defenses she should protect.

How to Counter an Enemy Royal Champion

She attacks relatively slowly and does not have the raw hitpoints of a front-line tank. Swarms, high-damage troops and well-timed spells can bring her down quickly. A Poison Spell also reduces her attack speed.

Because she prioritizes defenses, attackers can sometimes move troops past her if those troops leave her search radius. The safest approach is still to remove her while she is distracted, especially when she is positioned near high-value defenses.
