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.

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…

Air Defense: Most Important Unit?

STL here. Everyone usually agrees that the mortar is the most important defensive unit, but I have to disagree. Without air defense it would be nearly impossible to defend against balloonion and mass drag. Quite simply without air defense, people would be at almost 10,000 trophies. Balloonion would be the only troop combination people use,…
