The Hog rider is one of the most popular troops in Clash of Clans.
The Hog rider currently has 14 levels in the game as of now.
And, upgrading your Hog rider might be a confusing thing because of the time it takes to get upgraded, that is, weeks in some cases, and the upgrade cost of it.
But don’t worry, today in this article, I did all the work for you and made an organized table that contains all the data that is needed in order to max out your Hog rider.
Now, that all the math is already done, let’s dive right into it.
Hog Rider Upgrade Cost and Upgrade Time in Clash of Clans
Moreover, in order to make the table easy to read and understand, I’ve interpreted the data given in the table in text form as well.
The following table contains the upgrade cost and the upgrade time of the Hog rider:
| Hog Rider level | Upgrade Cost (Dark Elixir) | Upgrade Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | 2,000 | 10 hours |
| 2 to 3 | 3,500 | 18 hours |
| 3 to 4 | 5,000 | 1 day |
| 4 to 5 | 10,000 | 2 days |
| 5 to 6 | 18,500 | 2 days 6 hours |
| 6 to 7 | 35,000 | 2 days 12 hours |
| 7 to 8 | 47,500 | 3 days |
| 8 to 9 | 50,000 | 3 days 18 hours |
| 9 to 10 | 85,000 | 4 days 6 hours |
| 10 to 11 | 107,500 | 6 days |
| 11 to 12 | 125,000 | 6 days 6 hours |
| 12 to 13 | 175,000 | 7 days 12 hours |
| 13 to 14 | 280,000 | 14 days |
