Clash of Clans is one of the most popular strategy games that you can find in the app store right now. Build your own village in a world full of barbarians, wizards and goblins, defend your territory against other players and take part in epic clan wars. Millions of others are already playing the game, so as a newbie it can be intimidating at first. However, with these tips you will quickly catch up and reach the top in Clash of Clans in no time.
Put your builders to work
The first few days you can't be attacked, so you can master the game quietly. Your village is the most important part of Clash of Clans, so build a solid foundation by upgrading your buildings as quickly as possible. Your gold mine and elixir pump have the highest priority, as they ensure that you have enough resources to keep growing. You start with one builder, but quickly add a second one. Try to deploy your builders in such a way that they are always busy, after all, standing still means going backwards! Your defense also deserves the necessary attention: the stronger your defense, the less likely you are to be attacked and the fewer resources you lose. Get inspiration from the tactics of other players, they have more experience and are in certain places in the rankings for a reason.
To attack!
If you want to grow fast in Clash of Clans, you need resources to keep your builders busy. The fastest way to collect these is to attack. Attacks also earn you trophies, which increase your rank. The easiest targets are villages of players who have stopped playing: they are full of resources and often have minimal defenses. When attacking active players, it's good to focus on folded ones that produce resources. By attacking these you steal the resources and you can abort the attack at any time. Be sure to time your attacks with your building activities. You do not want to have a large supply of resources in your village when you are not playing, that is an invitation to be attacked. So try to spend the resources as soon as possible. The first weeks are best attacked with barbarians and archers, one of the strongest and easiest combinations in the game.
clans
Once you've mastered the game, you can search for Clans so you can play with other players. By joining a Clan, you can progress even faster in Clash of Clans. Not only can other players help you with items and tactics, you also receive extra experience and rewards by participating in a clan war. In addition, it is also a lot more fun to play with other people.
1-on-1 battles
With the last major update introduced Clash of Clans brought a whole new world with a new mode.
