Supercell is back with another collaborative event in Clash of Clans, and this time, it’s all about your mighty champions. The Hero Rush event, launching in August 2025, brings a fresh spin on the earlier Gold Rush format — replacing gold farming with a focus on hero-based gameplay and dark elixir collection.
Running for a full week from August 13 to August 20, 2025, the Hero Rush lets you battle with heroes even while they’re upgrading, giving players more flexibility and a unique incentive to hit the battlefield.
How the Hero Rush Event Works
As soon as the event begins, a soda stand icon will appear in the top-left corner of your village. This is your gateway to the Hero Rush interface, where you can:
- Track your dark elixir contributions
- View the clan leaderboard
- Check progress toward milestones
- Claim rewards as your clan hits new tiers
The goal is simple: farm dark elixir through normal gameplay and convert it into Pop Elixir, which counts toward your clan’s total. This event rewards both individual performance and group cooperation.
How to Earn Pop Elixir
Pop Elixir is automatically generated from most dark elixir sources:
- Multiplayer battles
- Loot bonuses
- Dark elixir drills
- Loot cart
- Defeating enemy heroes (great for Head Hunters)
Even if your dark elixir storage is full, you’ll still earn Pop Elixir from attacks. However, for sources like drills or the loot cart, you’ll need free space in your storage to gain the corresponding Pop Elixir.
Clan Contributions: Bigger and More Inclusive
Just like Gold Rush, Hero Rush is a team event. Players can contribute toward shared milestones, with rewards unlocked based on the total Pop Elixir contributed by the clan.
Notably, the event allows up to 100 total contributors, even though standard clan size is limited to 50. You only need to contribute once to be eligible for all rewards your clan unlocks while you’re a member.
You can continue contributing even after reaching your personal reward cap, helping your clan climb higher tiers.
Hero Rush Rewards: What’s Up for Grabs?
There are 20 reward chests tied to milestone contributions ranging from 250,000 to 30,000,000 Pop Elixir. Some key rewards include:
- Up to 750 Splash Medals
- Resource bundles
- Potions
- The final milestone unlocks a Clashiversary Scenery
Unlike Clan Games, rewards are unlocked instantly when your clan reaches a milestone — no waiting required. However, you must remain in the clan to claim the rewards.
Final Thoughts
Hero Rush builds on the success of past events with a refreshing twist — letting you play with upgrading heroes and encouraging strategic dark elixir farming. With flexible contribution mechanics and milestone-based clan rewards, this limited-time event offers something for every CoC player.
So rally your clan, stock up on Head Hunters, and start farming — it’s time to make the most of Hero Rush!
