Focus on Dark Elixir

Once you reach Town Hall 7 and beyond, your limiting resource will always be Dark Elixir. Through normal play, you typically will max out all gold and elixir-based upgrades long before you acquire enough Dark Elixir to max out your heroes and Dark Barracks troop upgrades. As a result, you need to place a priority on Dark Elixir above all other resources, saving your spells and hero units for when you stand to gain a large chunk of Dark Elixir.

Put the Clan Castle in the Center of Your Base

The Clan Castle is perhaps the best defensive structures in Clash of Clans, but only if you place it in the center of your base. The way the structure works is that when enemy units enter the Clan Castle's range (it has a very long range), the units will pour out of the Clan Castle and attack the enemy's attacking units. Note that your Clan Castle troops arc capable of hopping over your own walls.

If you place the Clan Castle outside of your base, the enemy can simply lure away the units inside the Clan Castle and easily kill them out of range of your towers. If you keep the Clan Castle inside your base, the enemy will have to take damage from both your Clan Castle units as well as your defensive structures in order to take out your base.

Generally, it is best to ask for Archers to keep in your Town Hall for defensive purposes. This works very well because Archers will often shoot at melee units from behind your walls, allowing them to shoot down Giants and Barbarians without taking damage. Very high level players may choose different units, such as Dragons or Golems, but this requires a clan where members will donate these tioops.

Note that this tip really only applies to players at Town Hall 7 or above. At earlier Town Mali levels, you do not have enough buildings to actually prevent the enemy from luring out units in your Clan Castle. Town Hall 7 units can still be lured, but it is tougher. At Town Hall 8 and up the enemy will have to destroy some buildings or a decent number of units to force troops out of your Clan Castle.

Start Matchmaking Early

When you first start playing Clash of Clans, you get a three-day shield. However, thanks to the previously-mentioned Loot Penalty, very few players will want to attack you even if you drop your shield. As a result, you can start matchmaking right away when you need resources with no fear of reprisal. You can skip around and look for a base with exposed resource collectors and use a handful of Barbarians. Goblins, or Archers to attack them.

Even if you do get attacked, low-level Town Hall players have very little to lose. You will only lose a tiny bit of resources that can be more than made up for with a single attack.

When farming either resources or trophies, you should always be skipping around with the "next” button in order to find the perfect base to attack. It only costs a tiny bit of gold to jump to the next base, so make sure you have a good base before you spend all your units attacking one. Also, be careful never to spend every last bit of gold you have on an upgrade - you need to save some gold in order to be able to use the "next” ability to continue farming!

Slowly Upgrade Your Town Hall

The Town Hall "loot penally” is one of the most important things to know about in Clash of Clans, yet it is not a publicly advertised feature in the game. It is not even mentioned during the tutorial or anywhere in the game, yet it is extremely important to how the game plays out.

This penalty reduces the amount of loot you can get from enemies if your Town Hall is a higher level than your opponent's Town Hall. If your Town Hall is one level higher than your enemy's, you will only be able to steal 90'S of the normal amount available for loot. If your Town Hall is two levels higher, you will only be able to steal 50‘S of the loot. For three levels, only 25%, and lor 4 levels or more, only 5% of the total available loot. The penalty is reflected in "Loot Available” - you do not have to do any calculations on your own.

As a result, we recommend getting up to Town Hall level 4 and then sitting in this range while you max out your defensive structures, your army camps, and your research. You can even max out your walls for extra credit before moving on to Town Hall 5. Repeat this process for every level.

Easy Ways to Play Clash of Clans

Save gems
Gems in COC is very useful, you can speed up the process (make the building, preparing forces, etc). Becouse accelerate the process, this gem is really tempting. The longer you play, the more resources needed and the time of construction will increase. Do not let you be tempted. Save gems until really needed. We recommend using Gems to make the building with a limited time availability. In essence, play patiently, do not waste your Gem just to speed up the process. If you are tired of waiting, play some kind of game. For example, Candy Crush Saga, Tapped Out, Samurai Siege, or Total Conquest...

Attack if forces / troops already ready
The way you build cities depends on your personality. Are you the one concerned with the defense and the magnitude of the city? Or you are an aggressive type who prefers to act offensively than sitting and swinging leg think about how you make your city safer, beautiful, and large? Hmmm .... Whatever your personality, one thing you must remember, strike with the right type of forces to get the resource is faster than building a high-level mines and produces gold and elixir.

Building a city defense (defense base)
Your city defence depending on how you place the building and build a wall around it. That means you must put your Gold and elixir storage (storage of gold and elixir) in your city. So, if you're in an attack, they're still able to survive.

Build alliances with other players (Clan Castle)
When you have a good level of town, and you've completed the single player level, rebuild your castle, it's time to join with other players. Not only as you will have a lot of friends (and enemies), but the relationship with the other players will get a lot of advantages. All you have to do is not only expect assistance, but you also have to help other players. You will be part of a team. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from other players. Most are in English, so this is also a good opportunity to practice English.

Select a city to be attacked
If the troops or forces are ready, soon you will have to attack other cities. It is always challenging. But you should consider about opponent defences, so that your spending to build troops are not useless and produce resource and trophy to the maximum.
