TH10: To Upgrade or Not to Upgrade

Many people can imagine that Town Hall 10 is all great and such. However, TH10 isn’t nearly the oasis of defense that every clasher describes. I’m here to explain to you the pros and the cons of upgrading your Town Hall to level 10. I know it seems weird (why wouldn’t you upgrade to Town…

Attack Strategies: GoWiPe

Town Hall to Use In: 8-10 Trophy Range to Use In: 2400-3200+ GoWiPe is extremely similar to GoWiWi (just switches witches and PEKKAs) but can be twice as effective if you use it well. Be careful though; this is a very expensive army, and can go wrong in a heartbeat. Mostly, this strategy is used…

Reaching Champion with 240 Archers

Most people say the only way to make Champion is to use an advanced pushing strategy like GoWiWi, Balloonion, or Mass Drags. However, with the right base and the right amount of commitment, you can make Champion using only archers! How to Raid- Obviously in order to get to champion you need to know how…

How to Get Maximum Loot

Loot is what defines Clash of Clans. Without loot, there would be no upgrading buildings, no war, and actually no attacking in general. To get maximum loot, then you should always be staging “collector raids” instead of “storage raids”. I’m here to help you find the most loot possible by having the best army, the…

Boosting Barracks

Background- Today we are going to talk about the topic of boosting barracks and how it can help significantly.  So starting off most of you know that if you spend 10 gems to boost your barrack, it speeds up the training time 4x (same with spell factory).  Therefore if you boost all of your barracks…

Even if you are a farming clan this post will still help you recruit good and active clan members. In my clan, there are three things we look for and there are three things we ask. Things to Look For- 1. Town Hall Level: This is extremely important in war. The worst people that you…

All-New Skeleton Trap!

In the latest update, Supercell released a brand-new trap called the skeleton trap! Contrary to popular belief, this trap is not a seasonal trap, but it is permanent. The skeleton trap works similar to a witch which (anyone?) spawns skeletons. However, the skeleton trap only spawns a set amount of skeletons. Below is the level…

Why Boosting Collectors is Good

You should always always always boost your collectors if Supercell comes along with a special update that makes boosting one gem for a day. However, if you are in desperate need of gold boosting is definitely the way to go over filling your storages. Here are the stats: For one day of boosting your level…

Sub-200 Farming

First thing I have to tell you is sub-200 farming IS NOT worth it. There is actually very little loot down there since it is mostly just newbies. Every 1 in 25 will be an advanced base but these bases rarely have collector raids and are usually better than most people can take out. Contrary…

Nighttime in Clash of Clans?

How the Update Affects TH9s

Believe or not, this update actually really impacted TH9s indirectly. I’m here to talk about how this update affected Town Hall 9s. There are some obvious ones like the Lava Hound, and other underlying causes. Reduced “Archer” Cost- Since level 7 archers came out, Supercell had to reduce level 6 archer costs since they were…

This is the number one strategy used for pushing through Master into Champion. The whole premise is to use your golems to…

The Push to Champion

Becoming a Champion is one of the ultimate goals of this game. 3,200 trophies is extremely hard to get to. The Champion league is made up of mostly Town Hall 10s and a few Town Hall 9s. Town Hall 8s are extremely rare. In general, 3 different strategies are used to reach this milestone. Mass…

For getting this unattended loot…

Attack Strategies: Hogs

Town Hall to use in: 8-10 Trophy Range: 1600-2800 Hogs are a very cheap and fast pushing strategy. Lots of Town Hall 9s use this strategy to get to Master. However, after the hero update where you cannot lure out heroes, this strategy is less used because if you don’t knock out the heroes it…

Town Hall to use in: 7-10 Trophy Range to use in: 1600-4000 The Mass Dragon strategy is one of the more popular pushing strategies for the higher town hall levels. In my opinion this is the only strategy that can 3 star a town hall 2 above you. Usually, this strategy is only used for…
