According to Neuro Gadget, the essence of "Clash of Clans" is to create Clans with a group of gamers not exceeding 50 players. The clans then participate in Clan Wars, allowing members to donate and receive troops from their colleagues, as well as chat with each other to strategize on their attacks.

However, making a strong base in the game requires several tactics. Without them, it is not possible to rise above other "Clash of Clans" players. Here are some of the best tips:

To begin with, there are a few things that "Clash of Clans" beginners should look forward to. They include: build bases that get better with time, learn to become great attackers, never upgrade Town Halls with haste, simultaneously train and build while attacking , know the right time of utilizing shields, and learn the essence of saving gems.

During "Clash of Clans" battles, players should always know the right resources to raid. Normally, one has the opportunity to attack their opponent's resources and leave them with nothing.

A quick rundown of resources that players can take advantage of include 100 percent of the resources stored in a Town Hall, 75 percent of Dark Elixirs stored in drills, 50 percent of gold and/or elixir stored in collectors, 20 percent of any resources stored in the collectors, and 5 percent of Dark Elixirs stored in the storage. The latter two are, however, limited to 198,000 and 2,000 respectively.

Further, if the particular "Clash of Clans" opponent is of a lower Town Hall level than the attacker, then the loot available is automatically reduced. But if higher, the loot obtained after victory is extensively increased.

Another key trick is to ensure that one has lots of walls and that all of them are regularly upgraded. "Clash of Clans" players often neglect their walls not knowing that they are a vital part of the forte of one's base. According to COC Land, no player should ever have a wooden wall; they are awfully weak and allow opponents to raid with no effort.

It is also possible to gain free elixirs in "Clash of Clans, "though players can only do so at their discretion, owing to the fact that Supercell is implementing bans.  Interested players need to visit Supercheats.com and follow the steps as given.

Meanwhile, Supercell is expected to update "Clash of Clans" to bring more features and a new town hall. Watch a video of the expected features:
