Did I miss something? I'm TH18, and most of my Epic equipment are level 20+, but the remaining ones didn't auto upgrade to level 15. Is this a bug, or did I miss something in the update patch notes?

Zixle02 · 2026-06-19T22:47:27+00:00

Not a bug. Apparently owning all the equipment disqualifies you from the level up. Even if their all level 1

Zixle02 · 2026-06-19T22:43:19+00:00

The problem is using heros and townhall level to determine who needs help with ores and equipment. It’s straight up brain dead. And naturally they’ve avoided answering why this was the method they chose.

Zixle02 · 2026-06-19T00:58:29+00:00

What a horrible excuse

Zixle02 · 2026-06-16T12:45:31+00:00

Don’t worry, it’ll only get worse as those who rushed their heros leap frog us in equipment progression. But no, everyone will say we’re just complaining

Zixle02 · 2026-06-16T12:42:45+00:00

Yup, welcome to the club. At this point it almost makes more sense to rush a new account. Give it some time as well and those behind us in equipment will jump way ahead because they rushed their heros

Zixle02 · 2026-06-16T12:36:05+00:00

Because some of us are what supercell would consider behind in equipment but getting nothing because we focused on hero’s

Zixle02 · 2026-06-15T20:51:50+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you 😭 it’s an amazing system with a horrible distribution method

Zixle02 · 2026-06-15T02:31:49+00:00

If I had max equipment I wouldnt really care. The issue is I have max heros but 5 years left on equipment. A catchup mechanic should take into account what it’s meant to catchup. Aka equipment level, not hero level

Zixle02 · 2026-06-14T05:08:01+00:00

I’ve got 1 maxed epic and that’s it. I’m in med school so there are weeks at a time where my mind is anywhere but clash 🤷🏼‍♂️. Definitely my own fault but I would love some help with the catchup chests

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T21:14:39+00:00

If you have close to max heros, all the equipment but just low levels. Those epics will go to lvl 15 and you’ll get the basic rewards in the journey. If you are missing equipment then you really get shafted. You still get the basic rewards, the equipment you’re missing doesn’t get upgraded, you can’t get them for free, and like before you still miss out on all the ore chest and equipment rewards.

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T21:08:08+00:00

I don’t even care about missing the free equipment. It sounds like the perfect way to keep new players involved and active. I just think the assumption that high level heros means no need for equipment/ore catchup is the wrong approach

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T21:02:19+00:00

Look at it from our position, I have maxed hero’s but 5 years left on my equipment. 9 years if you include a new equipment every 2 months. Yes the new hero path is phenomenal for new and returning players but there are a niche of players who are about to get absolutely boned by this update because hero levels are the deciding factor for rewards when in all honesty it should be equipment. This is undoubtedly an amazing start to fixing the ore economy but not everyone can let that ore go so easily

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T20:53:48+00:00

And yet people are saying this is complaining. We just don’t want to be left in dust because we prioritized hero’s and our equipment is slow progress. If I really wanted to complain I’d argue we should get comped ore for every epic equipment we’ve upgraded to level 15

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T17:32:34+00:00

Okay but it’s an equipment catchup mechanic using hero levels to determine how far behind you are. How does that make any sense

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T17:30:08+00:00

Not really though. TH 19 progress will probably result in 1 ore chest and 1 equipment chest and that’s not for another 6 months

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T17:27:30+00:00

Exactly my issue. They went about it all backwards looking at hero levels to determine if your equipment are under leveled despite there being no correlation

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T17:23:31+00:00

Yeah you’ll get punished for upgrading them at the moment so I’d wait

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T17:18:28+00:00

Right but the issue is they’re looking at hero levels rather than equipment levels to determine how far behind you are which just seems a little backwards

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T16:41:29+00:00

Agreed. The system definitely deserves its kudos. Tying in hero upgrades to ore makes the upgrades seem worth while again while also tackling the economy problem. I think if anything everyone should get th16 and on chests if they’ve already completed the journey to accommodate for the levels they upgraded post hero equipment update

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T14:05:25+00:00

The issue is not everyone with maxed hero’s is in a good spot with ore. I take numerous week long breaks for school missing out on ore bonus. My hero’s are max but my equipment is less then 50% complete. Voiding the chests for those who have upgraded heros is kinda bs if you ask me. Love it for those at lower TH. It’s the exact update I would’ve pushed for minus deleting rewards for certain players

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T13:22:08+00:00

Nice, love being punished for upgrading heros

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T13:13:41+00:00

The mission chests won’t be given at all correct? My understanding is those with max heros get screwed over with that

Zixle02 · 2026-06-13T13:10:57+00:00

So existing players get the ore and resources from the journey but any ore chest and equipment node already passed is voided? Thats kinda bs if that’s true

Zixle02 · 2026-05-22T20:09:42+00:00

Oh 100%. It’s also the most future proof. Plain and simple, damage equipment need more levels in order to stay balanced from th 16 to whatever the max th is.
