Best TH16 hero equipment priority
Updated June 2026 · data 0.1.0-th18
Hero equipment is a major grade lever from TH16, and at TH16 you are juggling about 6 meta-relevant epic pieces (each maxing around level 15) on top of your heroes (Barbarian King 95, Archer Queen 95, Grand Warden 70, Royal Champion 45, Minion Prince 40). The equipment that matters most is the set that powers your actual attack — not every piece equally. CoachScore grades seven dimensions — Heroes, Offense, Defense, Equipment, Progression (rush), Walls, and Clan value — and orders the roadmap by cost-weighted impact toward the goal you pick.

Equipment follows your attack, not the meta blindly
CoachScore's Equipment dimension rewards leveling the pieces your army actually uses. A maxed epic you never deploy moves your grade far less than the workhorse equipment behind your main strategy, so at TH16 the order starts from what you bring to war.
Balance equipment against raw hero levels
Equipment and hero levels compound. If a hero is behind for TH16 (caps: Barbarian King 95, Archer Queen 95, Grand Warden 70, Royal Champion 45, Minion Prince 40), hero levels usually return more grade per resource than chasing the 6th epic — CoachScore makes that trade-off explicit in the roadmap.
How equipment is weighted at TH16
Under the war goal CoachScore gives Equipment about a sixth of the grade at TH16+, just behind Heroes and Offense. That is enough to matter without letting one maxed piece paper over an under-developed account, so equipment rises in the order only once your core heroes are in range.
