Ores are used for upgrading Hero Equipment in Clash of Clans. After the December 2023 Update, every Hero can now equip two Hero Equipment, each granting powerful abilities. To use Ores, players first need to construct the Blacksmith building, available after reaching Town Hall 8.

After constructing the Blacksmith, players can use Ores to upgrade their Hero Equipment. Hero Equipment available for free only requires Shiny and Glowy Ores. However, Hero Equipment from events is of Epic rarity and will require Starry Ores for certain levels.
