The Hero Upgrading Problem

[TerseCrown9189]

Don't you just hate it when your heroes are upgrading and can't use them?
Well this is a suggestion that may help augment that problem.

What if you could upgrade your heroes and still be able to use them while they are upgrading for one or more situations:

Base defense
Multiplayer Battles Attacks
Clan War Attacks
etc.

The reason I brought this up is my frustration with not being able to use heroes for clan wars.
Not being able to contribute war stars properly because my queen or barbarian king is upgrading is terrible.
Bring attention to this issue by sharing this topic.

Thank you!

Books, hammers, builder potions, or gems are the answer to the problem.

Another answer is to play two accounts. When one is upgrading heroes, use it as the troop/spells donor account. Swap roles the next week.

Do you think nobody has thought of this suggestion before? Here's one post within a huge thread for you to peruse:

While not technically ruled out, Darian has gone on record stating that they have no intention of making heroes usable during war while being upgraded:

I see, book of heroes and other methods have been made available and also risk factor. Well still doesn't change the fact that its pure pain. TY for responding guys (Still I dont see why they should be unusable in war attacks) -- 3rd edit I see they are having problems with implementation, love if we were able to use heroes for clan war attacks tho.

Hi,

I'm relatively new to this game, and registered to this forum just to point out to this issue. I can see there was a lot of discussion going on, in a lot of different threads, but here are my 2 cents on this.

Not being able to use heroes in CWs while upgrading is killing my clan. We basically aren't having CWs since there is always someone with heroes on upgrade, and in casual clan where there is barely enough people for wars, result is no wars at all... (League being exception, thank god for that )
I've just come on th12 , but th 9-10-11 i played almost no CWs since there is always some hero on upgrade.
Books/hammers don't help/fix this. In a causal clan it's hard to organize active people for all to have upgrades on the same time so that we can do wars...
It is just killing clan, people interest.. I can see this was addressed a lot of times, and it was never action-ed, which really boggles me..
In a strategy game, you aren't able to use basic strategy mechanism (heroes), or use it and punish your progression..
I see this as a big cause to making negative impact on game-play experience and players interest in the game, so i'm really wowed how it was decided to put this issue on hold for so long...

Thank you for listening to my ramblings

Heroes are as fast as never before. Upgradetimes have been reduced by a large margin, books have been implemented, hammer as well and the book from the trader is obtainable as F2P-player from free gems quite often, the free book from silverpass is another give-away.

So it's not on hold, it has been adressed, without getting rid of the downtime completely.

Welcome to the forums. Gemming, whether directly, or purchasing books, is a major revenue stream. Thus, they are unlikely to change. Being in a large clan definitely helps. We have close to 50 and often run 10v10 or 15v15. What we did when we were smaller was set a schedule. We always war search on Tuesdays and fridays. That helps you time your heroes. Delaying a hero a day to war or gemming a day to have one available is quite possible with just the free gems you get. It's all part of the strategy. Gold pass, although not possible for everyone also helps.
