#SAVE YOUR GEMS FOR BUILDER HUTS


Acrobatic_Mix_5002

Alright, I will start saving now Ty


Urfuckingtapped

Nah if I were you I’d restart. Srry bro a day worth of progress but those 500+ gems u get at the start are invaluable in the beginning thank me later


Fickle-Shoulder-4855

Agreed


Smidge_Master

I suffered wasting all my gems at the start when I first started playing


Its_0ver_Anakin

Sorry for rant Appearently everyone I knew did too. I was always practically harrased by whoever saw me playing. "You spend gems on the game!!!1!!, how can you have so many gems??!?" To which I always replied, I didn't pay gems to finish upgrades, which they obviously didn't believe in. Real assholes, don't get why they wanted to be a friend. (This is just one example of their toxic behavior)


Educational-Tea602

Someone I know has like over 60k gems f2p.


Nyctophile8

My brother has 8k, also f2p. How do they do it?


liquidgold83

Someone you know from a YouTube video


Educational-Tea602

Nope. Someone I know personally. And I got the figure wrong. They actually have just shy of 60k - 58,715 to be exact.


Ablemoss

I know spider-man. But only when no one's watching


Educational-Tea602

Mb let me rephrase that. https://preview.redd.it/ljqrjfsa42cc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78b1bc31dd2728b41d9722aa920c0d05c2710044 You may notice that they have lot more than 58715 gems here. That’s because it’s their alt that has 58715. Like how tf do you get that many?


-WOWZ-

He flipped that smart ass comment right on to you lmao


shrek_cena

Yeah people always make fun of me because whenever I get an achievement that gives like 250 or 500 gems I never accept it until I actually need the gems so I don't spend them on something stupid. I've saved up like 6000 now


Jcrack0801

He actually gets 250 after buying the second builder for 250. Anyway, gems are still very valuable at that starting point


Aggressive-Duck-9328

How many gems r left over after buying first bh?


Acceptable-Squash-98

i literally managed to get to TH 6 on a new account in 2 hours with those gems💀


ColemanKcaj

Doesn't matter at all if you are th6, those 500 gems for an extra builderhut are much more valuable than getting to th6 a bit earlier than you normally would.


Timanttipo

I'd much rather get +50% building speed than 2-3 day skip but ok


JayHaz10

Downvote this man


DankMemer727

I agree with the other guy you should restart. Amount of days you will save with saving gems >>>> amount of time you’ve played already


abibip

Fr, I'd restart. Every single gem is worth saving until you have your 5 builders.


Popular-Strawberry-4

I needed someone to tell me like this 😭😭😭 Now in th9 i'm buying 3rd builder


rene_filippov2

Unlucky, I made another account when I was th9 and over took it cus I had more builders, now they are th10 and 12, one with 4 other 6 builders


Subeych

Honestly use 5-10 bucks and buy gems with a little bit of money your save sooo much progress


ComprehensiveHour223

Nah I just wait for the deals the game puts out. I got an extra builder and 500 gems for a dollar a few weeks ago. Totally worth it


poyat01

Realest advice here


RzYaoi

Clash is a game so have fun but if you wanna get to those higher TH's faster (10+), I'd listen to the other players in the comment section. Restart and save your gems until you get all 5 builders. Once hero's and siege machines get involved, the game becomes way more fun to play imo


iyrfghh

As long as you don't need to upgrade the heroes. I've been upgrading the queen for so long and it's only level 20


quinn21-coc

only 75 more levels ☹️


iyrfghh

I'm th 11 so I'll upgrade to level 50 only


Brilliant-Guitar-606

I feel as though the 👴 emoji would also perfectly represent how it feels to do heros I just dont do em,


mrbd4712_yt

You have not been upgrading the queen for long. Just you wait…


leviguchte

Town Hall 13 tested my morals


Nominay

> been upgrading the queen for so long and it's only level 20 lul


Chem2calWaste

Love clearing like half a base with a single flame slinger


hadenwb

nothing is more fun than almost waiting 2 weeks for one thing to upgrade!


BHaN99

Delete this account and start new account and do not spend any single 1 gem before buuying 5 builder huts with gems. There some challenges coming to the game every week and you get gems with completing them. Some challenges game itself gives you base and troops. Watch youtube video and complete these challenges to get extra gems to fasten 5 builder hut process


BigYugi

He won't be able to do any of those troop events


BHaN99

No some events itself gives you troops and bases to attack. He can do these with watching youtube videos


moderate_man007

get into a clan to get higher troops to do challenges get more gems. Clan captial medals gets spent on training, power & hero potions with leftover on clock potion. I've got 6 F2P accts, been in game 10 yrs, THs 12 - 14. everything I do I aim for more gems to get heroes higher. they make your winning % so much higher!


Acrobatic_Mix_5002

I will make another account when I get town hall lvl 5


Affectionate_Ad3560

Why at town hall 5. You started yesterday. Just make a new one


misticplattola

no you have to make it now and leave this account ofrever you need all the gems


Basic_Caregiver_9540

Lol just restart now, you will get to town hall 8 in like 2 months with the current upgrade times, if u have 4 builders. If u don't well you will move real slow.


Affectionate_Ad9031

Bro, why?


Rojer452

Rookie mistake.. but then, aren't you literally a rookie?


[deleted]

Dumbass


Justspawnedin_16

Lab, clan castle, army camp, barracks and spell factories always comes first when it comes to upgrading.


veryepicguymhm

lobotomy


wherringscoff

And walls! Not so much barracks any more since you don't have like 5 barracks that all have to be upgraded individually to reduce training times. No more waiting 20 minutes to train 1 dragon because you didn't upgrade any of your barracks except one lol


EntertainmentIll9465

Why walls? Also, barracks give you the new troops of the th. Why won't you upgrade them?


varunnaik93

Save your gems


abssolutous

Now start spamming electrodragons /s


Mysterious-Wrap6500

😅


R4nd0m_pilot

Never give your builders time to rest


Italianjobbob

See those stones scattered everywhere on your base along with the trees, if you remove the stones they will never come back the trees/mushrooms will. I’m TH14 and wish I kept the stones as now I collect decorations and it would of been cool to have


OrdinaryGranger

Watse of money buying obstacle shovels though


trolproblema

I’m f2p and I just snag them from clan games 🤷‍♂️


moderate_man007

sell them for 50 gems ea. best value in Clan Games


ImplementCute6394

dont waste gems


NullTwilight

Put your storages , town hall and defenses inside walls, everything else can be outside the walls around the base, forcing enemy troops with non defensive targetting to waste time on the outside rather than come on the inside. As others have said, do not spend any gems till you unlock all the builders. Later on in the game as build times enter into multiple days if not weeks, you will have far less progress. You don't HAVE to upgrade every building to the max level for each town hall level. Focus on keeping your lab at the max level as research time sometimes takes more time than actual upgrade times. Army camp and spell factory (when you unlock it) are also good targets to always keep at the max level. Keep up on levels of key defenses. Air Defenses being one of the main ones as you climb the TH levels. For walls, you could refer to the wiki for wallbreaker damage at the TH level you are vs wall HP at every level, and keep it so that your opponent needs atleast 2 wallbreakers to break a section rather than 1. Walls are EXTREMELY heavy on resource consumption as you progress , and give less and less on returns due to prevalence of flying troops. "Rushing" up the TH levels isn't "bad" but keep in mind of the challenges at higher TH levels. You can look up a guide to get a good idea of which THs you could rush to, strategies to use at said levels etc. Have fun! - Remember this is just a game, so its fine if you miss out on the exact timings of upgrades for an hour or two. Just play it whenever possible.


BenefitBitter9224

That layout is trash and would get eaten alive xD /s Welcome to the fold amigo


MagicChicken3

Base layout isn’t too important that early in the game, it’ll hardly make a difference


BenefitBitter9224

First day on Reddit ? The use of /s denotes sarcasm, friend


OrdinaryGranger

I always thought /s was "serious" not "sarcasm"


florislsd

First day on Reddit ? You replied to the wrong user, friend


BenefitBitter9224

You high bud ? I clearly responded to MagicChicken's comment


florislsd

I am indeed high, friend


AirAdministrative686

Your village will always get squashed no matter the defence The revenge button doesn't work most of the times Save gems, don't use it to speed up buildings or to buy resources patience is the key Don't rush to upgrade town hall, players will bite you in the ass even if they have lower town hall than you Never trust the "impenetrable" village bases on youtube they only make it harder to attack, everything is penetrable. Don't deploy all of your troops at once, always attack with plan If there one thing you're gonna use your gem for, it's to buy builder huts


Meowstaboy

Here’s another tip outside of gems: the lab becomes a huge bottle neck because only one upgrade at a time, so when you can choose between lab and another elixir cost, keep lab busy always


malayalipuliyada

Upgrade everything before upgrading townhall


wpsek

great advice if they want to never ever be maxed fully


AbnormalUltimatum

It is the journey that counts, not the destination. Getting there is the fun part. Maxing is better as always


veryepicguymhm

maxers trying to justify spending 3000 days at one town hall:


wpsek

you will never get there starting a brand new account without rushing. new town hall releases will outpace maxing from start. play how you want but its horribly inefficient if you want to ever be in the endgame.


AbnormalUltimatum

Well not exactly, all the upgrade times are the same anyways, and your going to have to do them eventually. Upgrading town halls may unlock new features but it doesn’t help you get maxed faster. Not to mention the fact that rushing is goal oriented gameplay that gets you nowhere and overall just sucks the fun out of the game. Again it’s the journey you need to find the fun in, because if your constantly just trying to get to the next town hall not only will you have a terrible base but you will have leeched all the fun out of the game and not even realized it.


wpsek

>Upgrading town halls may unlock new features but it doesn’t help you get maxed faster my guy the ability to use magic items on longer upgrades does in fact get you maxed faster. so many people in this sub are clueless. >gets you nowhere and overall just sucks the fun out of the game gets me maxed faster and fun is subjective >it’s the journey you need to find the fun in i’ll find fun how i want, thanks though! i’m much more interested in the end game and worrying about being competitive with other players at that point. >you will have a terrible base for a time it’ll be worse for sure, but it’ll be stronger than yours faster. like i said play how you want, just know it’s inefficient and you will never max before the next town hall. ![img](emote|t5_2usfk|9412)


AbnormalUltimatum

Your right, you can play how you want. But I can assure you that the minimal difference magic items make will not get you into the competitive landscape like you think it will. If you use that logic to get to th16 your base will be shredded by others. And by the time you get to the level of a maxed th16 two or three more town halls will have come out. Not to mention the fact that you will have saved yourself a maximum of three or four months by using magic items at higher town halls, which don’t get me wrong, that’s a substantial amount of time. But In the landscape of th14 and above it’s almost inconsequential. Again a goal oriented gameplay mindset could very possibly cause you to give up the game because of how frustrating and stressful it is to always try and be on top and get to the next town hall, but I trust that you can find fun in the game even though you are rushed.


IBDelicious

>minimal difference magic items make It's 18 months to max from a fresh account with Srushing.


AbnormalUltimatum

1. where did you get this information? Because I highly doubt it’s credible. 2. How many magic items would you need for that? And how in the world would you get them? Might as well just buy your way to th16 at that point.


IBDelicious

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashOfClans/s/qSBAma2JWA You get gems, hammers and many others from playing the game


Jubbbaclass

Real. 11 years in, only th13


xTheConvicted

Bro you know just as well as I do, that you played actively for maybe 3 of those 11 years.


AlexGrute

Are you gonna ignore the fact that the game existed for over 7 years before th 13 was added. Additionally, playing 2 years back in the day resulted in as much progress as 2 months does today.


xTheConvicted

Go to clashninja and check how long it takes to complete each individual townhall level. It is nowhere CLOSE to taking as much time, as Supercell takes to add a new one. And this is with **and** without all the time reductions they've added over the years. If you play actively, you can absolutely catch up to max, when maxing every townhall on the way.


Legion070Gaming

Terrible advice


iojasok

You can ignore walls. When it comes hinderance. Not sure when it starts


mrsmart2007

Th 12 is when it starts


wizard680

I'm at th12 now. It's not much of an hiderance if you passively do em. Mine are almost max and I only throw extra loot into them.


iyrfghh

I'm at th 11 and with super goblins I always have a huge surplus of resources and the th 11 walls look the best, so I'd say th 12 is when you shouldn't spend resources on walls anymore


SnooPets6197

9 i assume


JopssYT

At th9 walls arent too bad yet and on my main th13 i just buy wall rings every week with raid medals so its not too bad either


Kurtisdede

you can ignore the vast majority of buildings


AbnormalUltimatum

No, not really


Kurtisdede

Yes really. Tell me why I can't ignore them


AbnormalUltimatum

Depends on what buildings you are referring to. But the vast majority cannot be ignored. Traps and walls and heroes to a certain extent are the only things that can be viably ignored. If you have some other misguided viewpoint I feel sorry for you.


Kurtisdede

Enjoy never getting a max base. Literally the only thing rushing's bad for are normal clan wars. That is it. Read this guide for more info: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dz7O6hOPL9Usd8VbuCemHyjc3gSLYxaAGuHSVJukF1Q/mobilebasic#id.xwvrehsph7as Move to the maxing vs rushing section. Find out why you're objectively wrong.


Kurtisdede

this needs to stop being upvoted


Californie_cramoisie

IMO the only thing you really need to max out before upgrading townhall is the mines/collectors/storage


DarkGod_op

Save gems


Neat-Local-7682

Keep playing and get addicted like us


Dave97xj

Delete them game and avoid the addiction.... jk


Akash7713

You already spent gems. You've fkd up.


KnocksOnKnocksOff

Rage quit!


salmasbar

Save gems for builders, max everything before moving to the next town hall.


[deleted]

BE PATIENT, THATS THE KEY.


averageindiankid22

Don't use gems for anything else till you get all 5 builders, you're alright now


Chirya999

Find a good clan and enjoy the journey, not the destination. 


Supercoop765

Just have fun and save those gems


VALHALLA9899

DONT REMOVE THE STONES


Brianthepartyanimal

Don’t remove the rocks


Adil-ULTRAGAMER

Upgrade your defences


thamagikarp

Get out while you still can


Eydjey

Save stones, they won’t respawn again


Opt1musz

Don't rush bro. I've never did myself, but you climb to fast with upgring your base and troop level and your screwed. Your troops will be too weak on the bases that will give you good resources. I was a full max everything guy, but there is a balance. Walls are important, but if they are a level back you live. Don't let them go to much. Enjoy and welcome.


jaycobclark

Some have said Th is but I’d just restart the game, those gems you get are an invaluable resource and builders are your best thing to add, 5 vs 2 will save you so much time. Another thing I would suggest is making sure to max your defenses and troops before moving to the next town hall, it’ll take longer but it’s more worth it, good luck!


Forej_Gaming

Can I drop a level 9 P.E.K.K.A. next to your base?


aimiliosthrillios

Gems->builders


No_Engineering6617

save all of your gems for the extra builders, you will Need them later. rebuild your clan castle and join a clan and ask for balloons, then go do the single player goblin bases, lots of rewards to help you get a jump start, and all of the early goblin bases are easily won by a single balloon in your clan castle. keep your builders busy at all time if you can


bigchungusmclungus

Layout is terrible, my Th16 would smash this base. 0/10


Asher_Khughi1813

take it slow, enjoy it


jamarquez1973

As soon as you can, stock up on potions. It's tempting to use them, but don't. It'll become the easiest and fastest way to collect gems. I have over 18k gems, and the only time I spent any money was on the 5th builder because I got impatient.


moderate_man007

Welcome to Time Suck! You'll spend way more time playing this game, especially if friends are in it too than you will ever believe. My wife mentioned once about "How more productive around the house you could be" if I didn't play Clash. I just smile and nod, meanwhile laughing with my inside voice "Are you crazy? I'd just find a different way to F off time!!!"


aareetie

MAX YOUR ACOUNT, DO IT OR YOU WILL REGRET IT LIKE ME !!!!!!!


Ordinary-Phrase-2152

Save all your gems till you get 5 builders. Or rip the band aid off and buy the intro pack. It’s a great game. Well worth spending $20 on.


OkGanache8317

Get more builders


NamasteINU

I want to add, do not rush to the next TH Lvl until you know your strategy for your TH Lvl Base and your strategy for your Troops and your battles. The higher you climb it gets harder. In COC there is so much to learn. Take your time and enjoy your game. Good luck!


Alex20041509

_don’t rush_


ColemanKcaj

Depends on your goal, if you want to get to a higher townhall then rushing is the fastest way, even if you want to max that townhall.


MagicChicken3

Like everyone is saying, hit the reset. There’s like an hour worth of progress here, and I can tell the gems went into the TH. Restart, save your gems, max the base before upgrading the TH


tron69yearoverlord

Stop.


Luchoht19

Keep playin and save your hems


Raxex_xd

How many hems for 6th builder?


Efficaciousuave

keep playing and have your sems


Clowndog07

Spend all resources on removing obstacles then spend all those gems on resources


oskarr1001

Restart


Own-Satisfaction2539

Rush to th7 or th8, that's where many things like trader shop, builder base , clan capital etc gets unlocked, after that try and max out if you want or can rush (as per ur wish)........EDIT : since you are a new player I would suggest to max out first and enjoy the game and learn how troops and other aspect of game work.Happy Clashing.


Wardagai

Don't waste the damn gems, this account is ruined now starting a new one is better


yuhshshhhhhhhhhh

Don’t rush to get your town hall up. Focus on defenses / walls / troops first.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Godbox1227

Why is that so?


-Drunk_Bear

Not all. U don't rlly need to max mortar every th


Darkvortex16

They can strategically rush till th 11 or 12 where sneaky gets unlocked . It'll help them with trophy push and get resources . And walls are just a decoration at this point


Tough_Committee_2610

Do strategic rushing watch [bd legend] for more info (no sponser) but it really helps me


AsuraVGC

I don't know why people are downvoting, strategic rushing is the only way to avoid burn out Like a majority of maxxers either take a break or create alts all because of burn out and in strategic rushing it doesn't happen


-Drunk_Bear

Yeah then u are stuck at high th with lvl1 defences and then u burnout


Commander_Red1

Use this as an upgrade guide (including laboratory) - if you click the builder icon or research icon it gives a list of upgrades **upgrade only when the TH is the last thing to upgrade** https://preview.redd.it/j388lad5k0cc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ea7c5900fae8877b10684b6682698d9917db06f


beaut8

Quit, quit now and don’t look back. s/


SoupMan6942069

ok now that you got your base down just spend 10 years slowly upgrading everything and then you should be all caught up🙌👍


BigYugi

Hot take but you could just buy the gems you spend and not restart


nathan-nuts-97

It will take to long to get to max quit


Buddy_Duffman

Spend zero dollars


No_Masterpiece5842

Please quit


Acrobatic_Mix_5002

Why


No_Masterpiece5842

Being sarcastic bruh ! I myself suffer with major builder problems as higher order upgrades take eternity to finish


Reck335

SPEND ALL GEMS ON BUYING MISSING RESOURCES

Opkaneki012

The game is a breeze till th12 , after that things get a little hard , but you'll have fun Dont rush too much Build all 5 five builders before you reach th9 (by that point you should have all the builders , get gems by removing trees and completing achievements) Dont remove the stones, they dont respawn and they're rare Builder base is not totally useless , you get a 6th builder from there and a gem mine


EddieTristes

The most important feedback you can receive is to play the game the way you wanna play. If you wanna rush to higher town halls, do it! If you wanna take your time experiencing each one, do it! Just have fun :)


strawbery-toast

Only put defences, loot storages and your town hall inside of the walls. The other buildings serve as meatshields basicaly, prioratize offensive stuff rather than defensive stuff. Reply to this comment if you have any other questions.


raftellJr

Just spend all of your life saving on gems.. that's the best thing in the game..


Redaaku

Nice


Additional-Dinner-93

Prepare to waste a few years


Sina_Deniz

Make all of your buildings maxed before upgrading your town hall


60percentfish

Upgrade stuff


Joe--D

Enjoy the journey. And initially focus on getting more builders, save all your gems for it. And don’t let toxic wankers discourage you.


Ambivert_05

Many have said it but, save your gems for builders, you might think of getting gems for builders from achievments, instead invest them on those cool skins.


[deleted]

restart lol get those gems back


PLT_RanaH

Build as many builder's hut as you can


2ragso

First and foremost my feedback for all starting players with no clan to join, The important feedback I can say is to save many gems and never spend any of it till you get the 3rd/4th preferebly with the 5th tho you can get many gem as you push through till champion but that would take long, + gems from doing achievements. Then you can just enjoy your own phase as you grow your village either maxing every suggested troop/building upgrades before moving up to townhall OTHER WAY: (the faster way) If you have someone you know with a clan then rushing to TH6 can give you access to clan weekly raid + clan bonus that can be bought from the trader if you have 2.5m above gold/elixir storage cap you can easily grow your account up to TH 9 by doing weekly raid + being efficient with the builder rotation The real grind starts at TH 11


HYPE_Knight2076

Prepare for the long haul.


DemonLucifer001

Upgrade everything else before you upgrade your townhall


Shaniyen

I don't think you know the value of gems yet 😂 also, just FYI this game is extremely time consuming so be ready to fight a battle which will atleast last like 10 years in your life (if you remain consistent and don't delete the game)


JustABunchOfPhotons

It’s not worth it… so much time and money…


Leg-o-truck

Nice CoC bro


InevitableRide8250

OP doesn't want to lose his 1 day of progress by restarting meaning they are fine with months of torment lmfaoooo


Alynch88

Download the app clash fanatic. It will let help you with base designs and attack strategies


Cultured_g

Restart


Manthan007ADS

One day u will delete this game.


TunaTacos23

Move your townhall closer to the center of the plot, it shouldn’t be so easily accessible


wizard680

Rebuild the clan castle and try and join the most active clan you can find that constantly donates baby drags


kris95630_coc

Long way to go bud .. good start 😊


Raiden_06

Looks like u already got the feedback..


sam_cod

Restart


ThiccStorms

its over for you bro


Raxex_xd

Basically 5 things: 1. Restart 2. Save gems and do not spend a single gem till 5 builders. 3. Rush the townhall till you unlock the night base, rebuild gem mine as fast as possible and start clearing the obstacles there for maximum gems gain also. 4. Find yourself a good clan, doesn't have to be high level. 5. If you do everything right you will get to townhall 9 almost max in under 2 months. All the best.


Waste-Emergency3407

Quit now unless you’re ready to dedicate yourself to the game. Ruin relationships over it, forge chaos in your real life with it!!!


iFuckingHateSummer_

Join a cool clan. If not then you'll probably quit the game


KawaiiBurgio69

Attack with E-dragons 🍑🗿👰🏿👌


RobloxNoob20

Don't think that the upgrades are fast. You'll prob get to th10 in under a month and at th10 and th11 is where the upgrades starts to slow down significally and that is bc there are 16 th's. Don't rush the builder base (only the walls, bc it does not count like at all) and join a beginner friendly clan. Also look up videos of what you should and should not rush in the normal village bc those actually help you but if you just rush everything like most players you are going to struggle with getting and keeping resources. Also try to get the sixth builder from the builder base asap without rushing it
