If you're not familiar with Clash of Clans, it's a a game where you build forts with gold and elixir resources. Buildings are dragged and dropped however players like, and resources are collected and stored periodically throughout the day as they check in. Over time, players build an army of various troop types. They can be taken on single player missions to raze the villages of nearby goblins, or on raiding parties of neighboring villages. Similarly, other players can raid your Town. Don't worry, nothing is permanently destroyed, though adversaries can snatch some of your gold and elixir. Players earn and lose trophies through their multiplayer raids to determine rank, and band together in clans in order to earn even more loot in sprawling group battles.
It sounds simple, but there's a lot more to it, and we're here to help!

1. Revenge is a dish best served often
| Revenge |
Like it or not, it will often be the case that you get attacked while you are away and your shield is down. Sometimes you will get plowed, and that sucks but getting attacked also presents a rare opportunity! When reviewing the list of punks who defaced your village while you were away, you have the choice to Revenge to attack them back. This is a huge strategic advantage, because you can look at their village before attacking, and plan your attack even train different units for a special assault. I recommend checking their storage's (which you can do visually, or better yet by clicking on them and checking their levels), and also the location of their Town Hall. Since you may have a big list to go through, check farmers first (folks that attacked you with just a few units then gave up) since they are likely to have big resource stockpiles. If an opponent is shielded or online, just check back later.
2. Raiding and Town Hall level
| Raiding |
There are a variety of factors that affect how many resources you can steal from an opponent, but there is one huge one: Town Hall level. If your opponent is at your TH level, or 1 level above or below, you get a 100% modifier on what you can steal. However, if your opponent is 2 levels above you get a 125% modifier, and if 3 levels above you get a 150% modifier. Moreover, that same opponent would get a 50% and 25% modifier (respectively) for any attempt to revenge you. Given the current Town Hall level cap, this makes Town Hall level 7 a very attractive level to farm from. It will be hard to take down TH 9 opponents, but there will be the occasional easy target but more importantly your resources will be relatively safe from the toughest opponents. Your Town Hall level also affects the cost to search for new opponents when matchmaking, which can really start to add up at the higher levels.
3. Lightning Spell away Mortars
| Lightning Spell |
After initially tinkering with each spell, you might start to think Rage is the only way to (or Jump if you've unlocked it). These spells are pretty powerful, and offer some huge strategic advantages, but they are also quite expensive and take a long time to create. Maybe you've forgotten, or given up on the Lightning Spell because it seemed too weak. Well its time for a second look. A 4+ star Lightning Spell will almost wipe out a level 4,5 Mortar. If an opponent has placed a Wizard Tower or second Mortar nearby, you can take out the pair with two spells. Wiping out critical splash damage defences like this can allow your horde troops (barbs, Archers, and Goblins) to shred the remaining single target defences.
4. Dropping trophies with heroes
| Demotion In Clash Of Clans |
If you play the game long enough, at some point you will probably want to ditch some trophies. The game is basically about bullying people smaller than you, and after a meteoric rise you may find that the competition gets a little too tough for your liking. So you want to lose on purpose, but doing so generally costs you troops, training time, and elixir. Enter the hero. If you are lucky enough to have acquired one or both of these titans, you can use them to drop trophies essentially for free. Start a match, drop your hero, and then end the battle before they take any damage. After the fight, you'll drop some cups, your hero will be ready to get right back in the action and it cost you nothing!
5. Giving your hero a rest
| Giving Hero Rest |
After the version 3.25 patch, the regeneration time of heroes was significantly reduced it can be very frustrating when you are in the middle of an intense raiding session, take a five minute bio break, and come back to find that you've been attacked and your hero is KOd. You can fix this! On the hero pedestal the middle button controls whether the hero is in Guard or Sleep mode. When you toggle it to Guard he/she will defend your village when you are away risking KO. When you toggle it to Sleep your hero will sleep safely on his/her pedestal and remain fully charged and available when next you seek to use him/her for raiding.
6. Saving the Campaign for a last big push
| Add caption |
There is a game tip during the load screens which says that if you are need a little more resources you can fight the Goblins in the single player campaign. This is true, but if you played the early missions you probably feel that the resource pay out is ridiculously puny and you'd be right. You can win up to 4.8 million gold and elixir in the campaign, but 3 million of that comes in the last 5 levels. These levels may at first seem impossible, but as you upgrade your units to around level 4-5 you ll find they aren't too bad. Also bear in mind that I'm speaking just about poaching them for resources, and not necessarily getting 3 stars. If you save these 5 levels for a rainy day, they can either cover a large portion or the complete balance needed for later upgrades like Town Hall Level 9, Barbs/Archers Level 5, or similar. The fact that you can rack up this loot while you are shielded means that you can get within striking distance while raiding, and then use the campaign to get you to the finish line stress free.
7. Traps and Teslas, the element of surprise
The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he did not exist.
Supercell gives you many strategic options for defence, but perhaps the most powerful is the element of surprise. Traps and the defensive Hidden Tesla do not appear to opponents when they look at your park, and while there are tricks to figure out where they are, a matchmade opponent will only have seconds to try and figure it out. Psychologically, many will find it hard to keep focus on the hidden as they struggle to analyze and consume all of the visible defenses and plan their attack. Use this to your advantage. Funnel units through a weakness in a wall, then blast them with Bombs. Leave your Town Hall out in the cold, but surround it with Teslas to punish unprepared attackers. Clash of Clans is a game about raiding, and the odds are stacked against defenders. You wont win every assault, but if you use the hidden elements in your arsenal wisely, you ll win a good quantity often a majority or at least enough to remain trophy neutral.
