Even if you are a level 20, all the level 19s out there will greatly appreciate your help. For the level 60s out there, there will still be people who are going through the part of Clash of Clans you can give the best tips for.This guide is not meant to be as detailed as the actual pages themselves.
Here we will give brief description about the strategy guide, but if you wish to have more info about the guide itself, click on the link towards to top or bottom of the specified article.Chapter 1: Beginning from the BeginningWhen you first start on Clash of Clans, you are given a tutorial. Note that you don't have to spend the gems it recommends and you do not need an army of to take out the goblins. After you have completed this tutorial and come to grips with the game, you will face several looming problems.You will have a which prevents other players from invading your base.
This is essential for getting your and to a safe level before you can be attacked.The first thing you need to do is upgrade your and to a sensibly high level. I recommend at least level 3 or 4 at first. This will give you enough of a resource base to keep you going for a while.Once you have completed this, you need to see to your storages. You have a maximum of two storages of each at first. These resources are elixir and gold, and it is probably best to get both to maximize your resource amounts.Don't worry too much about and upgrades at this early stage as they won't protect you from invasion and will only help when you are on the offensive, but do try and get your to level three.Example of a base with no corner. Enemy troops can spawn in the red.As soon as you have completed these tasks you must turn to your defensive buildings.
You will already have a cannon from the tutorial, but apart from that, your first defenses need to be your most important ones,. Use all your walls around your buildings, bearing in mind that the buildings that are most valuable are your storages and your. Make sure you can surround your storages and Town Hall completely, but remember that enemies can spawn troops in the corners too - it's not safe to build with no walls in the corner. Surround your base with the less important buildings to slow your attackers and upgrade your walls to at least level 2.When you are confident your base is stable, begin the level 4 upgrade and start building your cannons and archer towers. Remember not to attack Pvp in order to get that gold. Attacking Pvp will deactivate your shield. Upgrade your defenses as much as possible and save up to get a mortar as soon as you can.
Put the with your Town Hall and your storages in your walls and keep upgrading them. You want to fit as many of your defensive buildings in your walls as you can whilst keeping your less useful ones outside your base. But remember not to cram all of your defenses in layer of walls. For example, put your Town Hall in its own separate layer of walls. Then put your storages in their own layer of walls. Then pair up, let's say, your archer tower and cannon, and give them their own layer of walls.
Keep upgrading your walls and your turrets and you are ready to face the world.Chapter 2: Your First RaidSince your three day shield is such a blessing, it is not advised that you break it early by going on an attack. Once the time has naturally run out, you are ready to go on the search for trophies and resources.Attacking involves three fundamental parts covered in depth here; they will be explored later in terms of applying them at higher levels.Army compositionAt later levels, army composition is an essential part of strategy. Based on the type of bases you will encounter at first, I recommend a simple army of only at first. This should help guarantee a win against anyone with badly used walls and poorly placed, exposed mortars.Before you begin your battle, it is a good idea to train excess troops in your. By the time you have finished raiding, they will most likely be done.Picking the perfect baseAt an early level, you can afford to be picky about who you attack. Huge numbers of people begin the game and then quit very quickly (called inactives), so you can look through bases to find the best catch. Ideally, you want a base that you can 3-star for a large amount of to help to lift you up into the trophy levels of more active players.Look for badly deployed or nonexistent walls with an exposed and weak.
At an early level, also try finding bases with exposed mortars that you can easily wipe. Ultimately you want someone with a good amount of resources and a good amount of trophies up for grabs, in which you can see the stats on the left side when scoping out the bases. Winning a battle like this will set you well on your journey to the top of the leaderboards.StrategyStrategy is a pretty endless subject - there are countless variations on attack techniques. However, there is one beginner strategy that always works. At the very beginning of the battle, get rid of the mortar first, or else its splash damage will wipe your barbs with ease. Remember that a mortar has a 'blind spot' where it can't shoot; this spot is a 3-tile radius around it. If your barbs get into that blind spot, they're good to go and will take out the mortar without fear of it attacking them.
Afterwards, simply spam all your remaining barbarians and they should do a good job wiping out the remainder of the base.When attacking starts to become trickier, feel free to add in the mix.Chapter 3: Defensive StrategiesBuilding up a strong defense is just as important as a good attack. Typically when building up your village, you don't want to upgrade your too fast without upgrading your surrounding defenses and resources first. Upgrade everything equally, because a high leveled Town Hall won't help anything if you have low leveled or.Defensive BuildingsUpgrade your enough to let you continue upgrading your buildings.
As said above, don't over-upgrade your Town Hall, or your gold will be wasted when it could have been spent on upgrading defenses. Carefully watch any replays of people attacking you and see if you won or lost. If you won, your defenses are doing their job. If you lost, think about where you could put your defensive buildings in a better spot. Typically, people put their in the center of their base because of its blind spot and long range.
We will explain more about base design in the next chapter, but think carefully about how to better your base.Once you get your first few defense results, keep upgrading your defenses. There are many different opinions on which ones to upgrade first, so choose which ones you think would fit your base.Clan Castle TroopsIf you are in a clan, the rest of your clanmates can donate troops to you. These troops will defend your base if you are attacked.
Remember that a clan castle filled with can deal a lot more damage than your turrets, but the archers are very easy to kill. Troops with preferred targets will target their preferred targets over any clan castle troops. This is important when dealing with giant rushes! A will continue to attack a turret even when there are clan castle troops behind it shooting. This can make clan castle troops a key part of a good defensive setup.Chapter 4: Base DesignDespite popular belief, 'cool' looking bases are not better.
When looking for inspirations of a base, you don't want to base yours off of the batman logo. Anyways, onto actual base design. First, you should figure out if you are farming or hunting trophies.Farming:If you're farming (not recommended until you've got the hang of the game) then position your outside of your, in exchange you protect your resources.
Many people (especially people who are looking for trophies) will attack that Town Hall and quit the battle. This means that all your resources will remain safe where they are. Make sure to place your storages at the very center of your base while defenses surround them. By doing this, the enemies will have a very hard time getting to your resources.Trophy Hunting:If you're trophy hunting, then protect your at all costs by putting it in the center, placing defenses around it, making sure you have extra walls around it, etc. Also make sure that you don't have 50% of your buildings outside of walls, because your opponents can pick off those buildings (with archers) and get one star by doing so. You also want to protect your, but depending on how determined you are to keep trophies rather than resources, some players make sure their defenses are still safe and able to defend the Town Hall and therefore leaving the resources unprotected.In a nutshell, position the structures you want to protect most (usually gold/elixir/dark elixir storages, or the town hall) in the middle, within firing range of all your defenses.Place and outside of this. Are for Dark Elixir; raiders can steal 75% of your collected Dark Elixir from the drill itself.
However, only 4-6% can be stolen from the collector, so put the drills inside your walls. If you are reading this, you most likely won't have the Dark Elixir unlocked quite yet, so you shouldn't need to worry yet. By positioning the mines and collectors on the outside like this, your defenses can focus on defending your most important buildings.
They will still attack enemy units within range.Follow these with miscellaneous buildings that won't give resources but act as buffers to your resources (ex., etc.). This lets long range defensive structures like and deal some extra damage to troops.The next chapter explains more about the offensive side of farming and trophy hunting.Positioning DO. Double layering the wall without any spaces (which make it easier for to break through).
This looks something like the example to the right.Use or to fit in the spaces between the.Chapter 5: FarmingPick and choose your targets. You're farming, not hunting. You're looking for targets with lots of available resources and weak defenses against your army. When farming, look for bases that have most if not all of its resources in their collectors and mines (not in their storages).
If the resources are in the collectors and mines, you can drop a few goblins and archers on each building and take all the resources. Note: When you are farming, you will lose trophies very quickly due to some defensive and offensive losses.For less experienced players, we would recommend a simple army of Goblins, up to your max if your army camps store less than 30.

This article is updated with the Spring 2019 update that changed the reward system.Clan War Leagues - also know as CWL - is a type of Clan Wars where your clan will battle against 8 clans and was introduced on the October 2018 update.On CWL your clan joins a group of 8 clans to battle against each other on a series of 7 consecutive 24-hour wars. To start, a Leader or Co-Leader must sign up the clan to participate.How to Sign UpCWL happens once every month.

After the sign up, there is no way to change and you must go through the 7 days of war with that size.
Clans on Champions League can only make 15vs15 wars.You can change the players on your team for each warEven tough this is the minimum, you can pick more player to participate. Since the event is seven 24-hour wars you can substitute members every day. Think about this as a football team: if the player is not participating as he should, he can be replaced.Tip: we recommend signing up all member to the CWL, so even players that won't attack will get League Medals for the victories.8 Days, 7 Wars, 1 Attack/DayThe whole event lasts a total of 8 days, with the first day being a preparation day followed by seven 24-hour wars.On the first day of preparation, you have to fill up the clan castles with defense troops. But this doesn't mean we will have only one preparation day, there are actually 7 preparation days. Once a war starts, the preparation for the next war starts as well, where not only you have to fill up the Clan Castles, but also choose the members that will participate on the next one. This is how you can replace bad players for the next war.

The moment a war ends, the next one starts immediately.Another very important change from regular wars is the fact that each member can only make one attack per war, making every attack very important. If a player doesn't attack, an enemy village will not be attacked at all.Matchmaking / Unfair BattlesThe matchmaking is based only on the current league your clan is. It's a ladder-based war. There is no war-weight, Town Hall levels, Engineered Bases, nothing, only the War League your clan is matters, making this a truly skill-based game mode.One quick note, the first time you enter on a CWL your clan will automatically enter a specific league. This league is based on the 15 strongest players of your clan. The higher your league is, stronger your clan and enemies should be.On the first CWL event there were many complains of unfair matchmaking, but as soon as the stronger clans level up, the battles will start to be fair.
It will take some time, but eventually you will be match against clans just as good as your clan.Clan War + Clan War LeagueA Clan can only participate in one war type at a time: Clan War Leagues, regular Clan Wars or a Friendly War. If your Clan decides to not participate on CWL, it can call regular Clan Wars without issues.A member that was not selected to join the CWL can also leave the Clan, join another Clan and participate on their Wars, he will not be ineligible.Clan PromotionOnce the Clan War League is over, the clan(s) with more stars will be promoted to the next League.
The worst ones, demoted.The number of clans promoted/demoted depends on the current league the clan is.

This works just as the loot you get on regular Clan Wars.However, on CWL players will also get League Medals as a reward. League Medals are a special currency that can only be obtained through CWL and can only be used on the, the only place that you can buy.The amount of League Medals you get on Clan War Leagues depends on your League, on the final position of your Clan on the competition and on the amount of Stars you've obtained during the League.
