How to Play the Strategy Game Clash of Clans

Begin

Build and operate your base. Your first priority is to build a strong base so that no one can take away the valuable things in your base. You should try to build a Town Hall in the center of the base to make it difficult for enemies to destroy and gain loot.

Go to the Shop and choose things to protect your base in the "Defense" section. At first, the things that protect the base well are walls (Wall) and mortars (Mortar). If you build these things, it will be difficult for others to attack and steal gold and Elixir. Since walls can easily be upgraded, make sure you can do this quickly. You should try to upgrade the wall to level 3 as quickly as possible.

Because your resources are limited at first, you should only build walls around the most important buildings. It would be great if you could protect the Town Hall, Gold Storage and Elixir Storage. You don't need to pay attention to the Builder's Hut (the Builder that helps you build and upgrade buildings) or other army generators. You also shouldn't try to build walls around everything. Obviously, building two rows of solid walls is better than building one row of loose walls.

Use gold, Elixir and Gems appropriately. Don't waste these resources, especially don't waste gems because the supply of gems is very scarce. Do not use gems indiscriminately! Save up to build more Builder's Huts!

Using gems to build a Builder's Hut is a good idea. You may think about using up all your gems, but don't do that because you will need gems later.

The most effective way to use gems is to invest in Builder's Huts as this allows you to upgrade multiple towers and other defensive structures at once.

At first, do not try to build a gold storage house or an Elixir storage house because it is not necessary.

Decide if you want to use real money to advance quickly in the game. You can use real money to buy more gems.

Besides using real money, there are many other ways to get gems. If you don't want to use real money, that's okay. You can earn gems by removing trees and obstacles around your base.

Defend your Base

Always remember that defense is the best offense! Build a strong base to protect yourself from attackers. You will feel satisfied knowing your enemies tried to attack you but failed.

Make sure your base is built in one place and not scattered around.

Build key structures in places that are easiest to defend. Build a Storage House and Town Hall in the center of your base, behind defenses and strong walls.

Build Builder's Huts in the corners. When built this way, if the enemy attacks the middle of the base, they will not have time to attack your Hut.

Continue upgrading defense systems. After you earn a lot of resources, make your base stronger by upgrading walls, defenses, and towers.

Use as many traps as possible. Traps can deal great damage to attackers so they are worth upgrading. Each time you deal damage, you can easily take down weak soldiers and deal strong damage to more advanced soldiers. Place traps in places where no one would expect them.

Protect all your defensive structures. After playing the game for a while, you can build more advanced defensive structures such as Archer Tower and Anti Aircraft. You should know that every time a mortar (Mortar) fires, it causes great damage but they fire very slowly. So, build this long-range shooting structure in the middle of the base because there are places they can't shoot at. If you don't protect the air defense system, you won't be able to do anything to the Healers.

Attack Other Players

Attack whenever possible. Attacking is always beneficial. Not only will you not be at a disadvantage, you can also earn valuable items and trophies (Trophy). You may want to skip loot and focus on earning resources from weak defensive structures. Even though each attack like this doesn't earn you much, you will feel easier and don't necessarily have to invest too much in your army. You will soon realize that it is easier to rob resources than to mine them. Of course, you also feel very excited!

Check how much gold the enemy base has before attacking. You can see the amount of gold in each base you plan to attack. If that base doesn't have gold, don't attack it. If a base has a huge amount of gold, it usually has a very strong defense system and is difficult to attack. However, if you feel like you can still fight, go ahead! It's okay to take a little risk!

Attack the brothel. You should send troops to attack the gold warehouse and Elixir first.

After each successful attack, you will gain a lot of gold and Elixir to use.

If you are losing, don't be afraid to withdraw your troops to base. You can always train more soldiers to prepare for future battles. You need to know when to stop the attack.

When you attack Gold Storage, new gold will be added to your existing gold. Even if your troops are killed during the attack, the new gold will still be preserved.

You will earn more resources or rewards if you destroy your opponent's entire base or Town Hall.

After each attack, make sure you train more soldiers to replace those who died. To train troops, click on the barrack and find the training menu. At first, the best troops are Barbarians (requires 25 Elixir to train this type of troops) and Giants (requires 500 Elixir to train).

Build a Laboratory. This project helps you upgrade your soldiers so they have stronger attack power and better damage tolerance. You can also own high-level soldiers such as Archer, Wizard and Goblin. After a while, you can also build a Spell Factory. This build can create multiple spells to make attacks more effective.

When you start earning loot, it's time to join an alliance. Each alliance (League) helps you earn more gold and Elixir after each win. The higher the alliance level, the greater the rewards obtained. High-level alliances also help you earn more Dark Elixir (a rare resource in the game).

Join the Clan and Stand Together with Members

You need to rebuild the Clan Castle to be able to join the Clan (guild in the game). After starting for a few days, upgrade your Clan Castle.

After rebuilding the Clan Castle, look for a Clan to join. You need to take the time to consider to know which Clan is good. There's a good chance you'll want to join a Clan that has a lot of members joining the gaming network around the same time as you.

Clan members can share troops and cannot attack each other.

Joining a Clan is a good way to find new attack or defense strategies.

If you're already in a Clan, you can chat and learn about other players. You can also participate in fun battles or practice defense with players of the same level as you.

A Clan can participate in Clan War. There, Clan members can directly fight other Clans and gain huge amounts of resources.

If you don't feel comfortable with the Clan you joined, move to another Clan. If you find that you are in a Clan full of members who are too old, too young for you, or speak a language you don't understand, you should move to another Clan.

After joining a Clan, you will have the opportunity to become a Clan Elder. You can then remove other members from the Clan.

High level members can donate and share high level troops.

If you don't really want to join a Clan but still want to talk to other players, you can go to the Global Chat section. Global Chat is an open chat room for online players.

Note that you may be banned from chatting in the Global section if you use words that are too offensive.
