Royal Champion
The Royal Champion, a formidable hero unit, becomes available to players upon reaching Town Hall 13. She is characterized by her swift attack speed and her singular focus on targeting defensive structures. This makes her an invaluable asset in the later stages of an attack, particularly when the main force of your army has already breached the enemy base and is engaging other targets.
Seeking Shield Ability
The Royal Champion's sature ability is the Seeking Shield. Upon activation, she hurls her shield, which possesses the unique property of bouncing between multiple defensive buildings within its range. Each impact deals significant damage, allowing her to efficiently dismantle key defenses that might otherwise pose a substantial threat to your attacking army. This ability is crucial for clearing out remaining threats and paving the way for your troops to secure victory.
Strategic Deployment and Usage
Her effectiveness is amplified when deployed strategically. After your primary assault has drawn the attention of the enemy's defenses and potentially their Clan Castle troops, the Royal Champion can be sent in to eliminate high-priority targets like the Eagle Artillery, Inferno Towers, or Scattershots. Her ability to chain damage between defenses means she can quickly neutralize multiple threats simultaneously, preventing them from inflicting heavy losses on your remaining forces. A common tactic involves using her to clear out the perimeter defenses before deploying ground troops, or to eliminate specific threats that are difficult for other units to reach. Mastering the timing and targeting of her Seeking Shield is key to maximizing her impact and ensuring a successful raid.
