"Clash of Clans" is currently the most downloaded game on Google Play. It is a game that takes time to master. Here are the top five tips for casual gamers who wants to get ahead of the competition.
1) Be Patient.
The game gives players the chance to build their own fort as well as fortify it will walls and other defensive buildings like cannons and towers. However, as the game progress, it takes longer build time for these buildings to be finished. Additionally, offensive troops also takes time to be acquired. The more powerful a unit is, the longer the time it takes to recruit them. Players must balance these build and recruiting time in order to properly defend their fort as well as mount a successful offensive attack into other players.
2) Save Gems.
"Clash of Clans" is a free-to-play game. However, the game offers a premium currency system that allows players to purchase valuable in-game resources such as gems. Normally, gems are awarded after finishing certain tasks. Gems are used to instantly build fortification and other buildings. It is also used to instantly recruit units. Gems is the player's most precious resource. Strategically spending it is crucial in both defense and offense.
3) Use Cheap Units.
"Clash of Clans" offers a wide array of units. These units have different abilities, recruit time and cost. As a unit becomes more powerful, the recruit time and resources needed to recruit them also increases. New players tend to rely most of their attack on newer and more powerful units. However, if you consider the time and resources spent in recruiting these unit, it will be more practical and more effective if players use ordinary units like Barbarians and Archers. For example, Wizards are stronger than Archers but each Wizard requires eight minutes to recruit while four Archers can be recruited in less than two minutes. As a result, the player saves on valuable resources and has a quicker means of producing units.
4) Proper Base Design.
At the very heart of "Clash of Clans" strategy is to have as many walls between resources and key building as possible. Players must properly lay down their building and make sure that there are no gaps. Players are also advised to look for spawnable tiles within their base. Putting buildings close together makes cannons more effective in defending them. Putting defensive buildings at the center of the base is also a good strategy. This means that attackers will take longer time to get through the defense thus increasing their overall efficiency.
5) Focus On Offense Or Defense.
For players who puts more emphasis on defense, they need to focus on building defensive structures. In this approach, the Town Hall should be the first to receive the upgrade in order to further upgrade base defenses. Walls, cannons and archer towers should also be strategically positioned in order to increase their efficiency.
For players who wants to focus more on offense. Stacking up on resources should be their primary concern in order to sustain the constant recruitment of units. Elixir production should be upgraded as well as barracks and camps.
