Village Royal Champion upgrade cost, time and max level
The Royal Champion targets defences first and cleans up corners and Infernos with her Seeking Shield. She unlocks later than the classic three heroes and has fewer levels, but each one is costly.
This guide lists the Royal Champion max level at every Town Hall, the total Dark Elixir and time needed to get there, and the cost of each new level at Town Hall 18. All figures come from the game's data files.
