Hey Chiefs! A quick shout-out to the top commenters from last week's megathread for going over and beyond in helping their fellow clashers with their queries.
Is there a chance that the barbarian head decoration can have discount? 🥹 I sell my old barbarian head decoration before which i regret,and its now cost 250 gems.
There's no reason to believe that they will ever discount the Ancient Barbarian Head statue. There is a possibility of receiving it from a Treasure Chest, however.

Should I be using these items if I continue to buy the future event/gold passes? This was the first one I bought and have all these items but honestly been scared to use them but they would help a little with some upgrades right now (th9) still learning the game so thank you for any feedback and tips 🙏

you can use potions but books aren't recommended at th 9.
Hi everyone, I’ve been playing Clash of Clans actively again for about 5 months, so I’m still learning and don’t have very deep knowledge yet. I usually prefer air attacks, and I’m trying to decide which item would be the best to buy for my progression.
Which item would you recommend for an air-focused playstyle, and why? Any advice would really help. Thanks in advance!

Best th13 attack strategies with out epic hero equipment.
super yeti clone blimp with dragon spam.
clone’s max capacity is 34 right, and super yeti 35, so the clone for loons right?
oh lmao 🤣 sorry didn't thought that. regular yetis would also work great btw.
Hi, just upgraded to the 15, and I've seen a new interesting strategy to attack that use the hog rider puppet for rc, would you upgrade that equipment for rc or use another one like the haste vial (it's not an rc charge)?
For the other heroes what would you choose to upgrade?
https://preview.redd.it/0znwa9wpnl8g1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7c3cf34577584c066ef01e853e11c88e213b709
royal champion has a lot of strong epics so i wouldnt suggest upgrading hog puppet when you could be saving ores for when you get another epic of hers. technically hog puppet is fine at lower th levels but the hogs get smoked at higher th levels and dont do much.
your other equipment choices are good maybe get rage gem and spiky ball up 3 levels to hit their next power spike. after that its kind of subjective, some options are to start maxing out your current equipment or start upgrading the action figure since its really op if you can afford to get it to lvl 21+. and after magic mirror to 18.
if you are going to buy rocket spear then don't upgrade hog puppet as spear+ boots is the best combination for RC.
you should upgrade your spiky ball (18) and action figure (21).

I’ve spaced out my decorations by two squares. I’m wondering if obstacles/trees will spawn in those 2x2 squares?
Holiday and special obstacles will spawn, but normal obstacles need a 1 tile buffer all around them to spawn.
I’m Town Hall 16 and want to make sure I’m investing in the right hero equipment combinations rather than wasting resources. At the moment I’m running my current pairings, but I’m not sure if they’re actually optimal or if I should be changing things up. Are there any equipment pairings that clearly outperform the rest at TH16, and are there other pieces of equipment that are worth buying first and prioritising upgrades on?
https://preview.redd.it/mr2qpd3ghl8g1.jpeg?width=2079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10cd70ae0f3fd7061f82cb7cb3fdc7c8a8dfa1e6
Spiky is meta on king. It goes with either boots (king going inside) or snake (king staying outside). Boots take no starry so you should use spiky and boots for now. It will be a long time before it is worth adding snake.
Queen is action figure with either arrow or mirror.
Warden you have fireball active, but that is only for fireball specific strategies. If you're using a warden walk with fireball then into a smash attack or rocketloons that's good and you should watch the videos on that to see the best equipment combos. If you're just spamming it with some other attack then that is not so good and not worth investing more starry ore into. Instead use eternal tome with heal or rage.
The common prince equipment is good. It will be a long time before it is worth you investing starry ore into the epic prince equipment.
RC it depends totally on the attack plan.

you are wasting a lot of ores upgrading non-meta equipment. look up strategies or guides on youtube to see what equipment other people use and focus on upgrading those. itzu has a video where he goes over the best combinations and he always regularly updates it with new equipment/meta. you dont have to follow it exactly but it helps to know so you dont waste ores on bad equipment.

Good morning everyone, I'd like some opinions on what to upgrade. Currently, I'm constantly leveling up my heroes to maximize them quickly, so all 5 are always stagnant. I wanted to know what you think is worth upgrading in terms of equipment. I was undecided between the King's Ball and the Queen's Healers. The Royal Champion and the Master Hero are constantly upgrading, so they're rarely up to play. I'm currently Town Hall 13, almost maxed out. I wanted to know if it's worth upgrading any of these, or buying some to start upgrading now.
https://preview.redd.it/6pnfmjusel8g1.jpeg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6667b02bb9b24cfcef594f942058845d9a57dd11
You will likely stop using healer puppet for queen once you get action figure so I would invest in spiky ball instead.
Is the ore glitch going to be fixed before the event ends? I forget if it was Marco or Ferri who said during the last event they were trying to fix it. It’s been almost 3 months now. For anyone that’s going to reply and tell me to just move on or call me a cry baby or child, just save your breath. Telling people to touch grass and saying it doesn’t affect them when ranked and equipment matter more than ever doesn’t help the community. The fact the devs can’t seem to code their own game should be the bigger concern instead of calling people names.
Supercell said week or two ago that they were still working on it, but we don’t have an estimate on a date yet.

What hero should I focus on first I use a dragon army but I want don't want focus on BK or AQ since they are level 80 but which other three should I focus on I don't use MP but I may use him instead of BK but what are your ideas (I have rc boots with RC so I was thinking to focus on her first? Or maybe warden since he might take less time?
Depends what you mean by "focus on." You should always have a hero upgrading in the hero hall. That is the best place for heroes that you can swap in and out of your army. So, for dragons, that probably is king, prince, RC (unless you are doing RC charge). Then use books and hammers on the heroes that are hardest to attack without: warden and then queen.
warden > rc > queen > prince >/= king.
Can I use shovel of obstacles on gem box and still receive additional gem boxes or there is limit
No it's only one and if u don't remove it another won't spawn
Guys I'm in Townhall 15. What pets should I upgrade and focus on for my heroes? I only want to prioritize 4
Watch youtube videos on the attack that you are using and see what they are using for hero/pet/equipment combos. It is greatly depending on the attack plan.
And also which pet would be best for each hero
it depends on your army
King: phoenix/owl / diggy/ frosty
Queen: frosty
prince: phoenix/ owl
warden: diggy/ unicorn/ owl
champion: phoenix/ diggy/ owl/ unicorn.
Returning player. I quit about 2 years ago, and now I'm back. I got an ad showing the many QoL changes, and it peaked my interest. I'm in the early stages of TH11.
There is however, a ton of new stuff since I last played. Help me get back in the game!
Where can I find a good clan to join? What YouTubers should I follow? What are the best armies at my level?
And anything else that could help me, thanks in advance!
r/clashofclansrecruit
you can follow judo, itzu, carbonfin, curroptyt, clash bashing, kenny jo, bd legend, etc. however i have no idea who is uploading content for low townhalls among them.
you can try dragons as your main army, it is easy and strong.
focus on getting good hero equipments and ores as it has became the most important thing to have in the game these days. focus these equipment for now: earth quake boots, spiky ball, giant arrow, healer Puppet, action figure, dark orb, henchmen puppet, eternal tome, rage gem, healing tome.
just enjoy the game. we are here to help you 🤞.

7 months to upgrade bk, 6 month for AQ, guess I won’t upgrade heros and use potions for war
you should upgrade your heroes. you can't rely on potions as you don't have them everytime you need.
One of my clanmates advised me to stockpile on cwl medals and any builder potion till cwl and I can dump all my resources on the heros then, and in th meantime I’ll upgrade my defenses and the occasional single hero upgrade
*till hammer jam
I’ve been studying non stop for a test, I really need to rest
he was talking about hammer jam.
Hi Reddit,
How do I go about finding the best battles for resource farming in the normal, non-ranked battles? Previously you would either trophy push to encounter higher level bases with more resources or drop to the low leagues to conquer inactive/weak bases.
I've played CoC on and off since about its 4th anniversary. My most recent play streak stopped about a year ago, sometime between the Hero Hall update until 2 weeks ago.
I haven't played ranked battles yet so I've been placed automatically into Archer 9. I was previously in the upper Gold/lower Silver trophy range. I'm a nearly max TH12 (only lacking walls and heroes + equipment) but I encounter a LOT of low resource TH11s when I search normal battles.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction!
since there is no training time it is not necessary to find bases with good loot. just spam troops exit and continue.
sneaky goblins is the best strategy for farming in lower leagues.
Should I buy the lavahound or the dark crown?
Of those, the dark crown would definitely be the better pick, assuming you have the other equipments.
Yeah, I just bought the ball for BK. Thanks!
I have an account protected with supercell ID that i recently switched the email over to a new provider and am no longer receiving verification codes for my account protected by this email. anyone know why this is? i have independently tested the email and it is receving fine but it isn't working with supercell id.
Does your new provider have its own spam filter? That's all I can think of.
How long has it persisted? It can sometimes take hours or days for DNS changes to propagate around the internet.
Is the new rc ability worth getting with medals??(I have magic mirror, spiky ball, e-boots, rocket spear, fire ball)
It is worth getting unless there is equipment you want more that is available.
I don't use minion prince and the other one is shit
Which one should I get? My TH12 is almost maxed
https://preview.redd.it/t5dbio32qj8g1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d3b08403972140cf866b3e0bda8ab236b4f2a56
spiky ball > magic mirror >/= dark crown.
dark crown- only if you are an air attacker.
I am using dragons most of the times
if you use prince instead of king then buy dark crown otherwise spiky ball.
but still spiky ball is highly recommend it can be used in any attack that uses king.
Anyone know SC are giving out any free medal event or not? I have 700+ currently, if no I'll just trade for starry ores instead wait to get book
I dont think we will, since we already got some from the clan medal event
TH17 Artillery
I upgraded to TH17 during the Hammer Jam and I did 2 levels of inferno artillery ASAP. In between my clan leader said that after TH 18 comes out the Inferno Artillery levels will be removed similar to the Giga Inferno. Does that actually happen?! If yes I can put resources into other defense like AD, Wiz Tow, Hidden Tesla, Bomb Tow and Mortar cuz all other defense are done and dusted. If that's not the case should I prioritize Inferno Artillery?!
TIA.
Earlier this year they removed TH weapon levels for TH12-16 but not for TH17. It's speculation whether or not they'll ever do it again. They certainly haven't announced it.
I suggest continuing to work on Th17 levels because you'll benefit from having them, and because currently you need them to upgrade to TH18.
It likely will get the hall levels removed like what happened with lower halls, but we don't know when.
th 17 is less likely to get weapon levels removed.
Subject: Urgent Account and Clan Recovery Request - Ownership Proof Attached Dear Supercell Support Team, I am writing to request the recovery of my Clash of Clans account and my clan, which I lost access to due to a system error. I have attached all the necessary proofs to confirm my ownership: Account Creation Proof: A screenshot of the Supercell ID registration email dated April 22, 2023. Clan Leadership Proof: A screenshot from the clan chat showing my username (Moatasem Abu Hisham) as the "Leader" of the clan. Purchase History: An official Apple receipt for a $9.99 purchase made on Nov 23, 2025 (Order ID: MQ5QYH8XDV). I kindly ask you to verify these documents and restore my account and clan leadership immediately. Thank you for your assistance
We are just players like you. You need to work with support. However, showing you at one time created a clan doesn't mean the clan is still yours. Leadership can be transferred.
Which should I choose?
I have a Hammer of Building. I want to use that here, in the BH. Which should I choose? The Mortar (4.5M), the Roaster (4.6M) or the Giant Canon (4.7M)? From 8 -> 9. I alredy have Giga Tesla, and Otto's Outpost upgraded, I just cant send pic in this thread.
Ps.: not rushed base, I just upgraded to BH9, and got 20 new walls :c
if you want to use it in BH then use it on the multi mortar as it would help you getting 6th builder faster (in case u haven't unlocked it yet).
i accide set me age to 14 i thought it was done to target ads , now i canno join my old clan back i have been there since 2014 , i mailed supercell but they won’t accept my government id to orove i am not 14? what to do?
Some players have reported that they were able to change it by downloading a different Supercell game, linking it to the same Supercell ID, and then entering a different age when asked. I haven't seen this confirmed as actually working, but it couldn't hurt to try. Otherwise, you'll need to wait 2 years before you can join non Family-Friendly clans.
i will do thanks
Our understanding is they won't change your age unless it was accidentally set to an impossible age, like age 7 on an 8 year old account.
I've got 7 book of heroes, my Warden is 56 and King is 69. Is it even worth spending books on the Warden?
Hero book value is generally for using heroes in war/ranked, not really for time saved, and the warden is the hardest to attack without. Most armies need warden. If the upgrade time is so short that you can upgrade it without a book, maybe with a potion, and not miss a war, then save the book.
Spend them on the longest upgrades. And that means you want to use them on 8-day upgrades. RC is the easiest one to get to 8-day range, so you want to prioritize RC. If you have run out of upgrades for RC, then prioritize Warden and push him to 8-day range as quickly as possible, as Warden is the second easiest one to get to 8-day range. In short, what matters is the upgrade time saved, not to whom you're going to use the books.
I don't care about the time save, just wanna know if the tiny stat boost is worth taking Warden to 80, cause I do wanna use fireball eventually.
Then let's say would you want Warden to stay at lvl 56 until TH19 comes out, or until supercell decides to let heroes fight when being upgraded? I'll suppose you don't want your Warden to stay at 56 forever, and you will be happy if your Warden is at max level. Then as long as supercell won't let upgrading heroes fight, you'll have to spend that much time to upgrade. I would not suggest postpone something that you eventually have to do.
TH13 I’m trying to fit the Royal Champion into my army. I have the new frost flake equipment on her and seeking shield as those are the only equipment I have so far, when her boots come back around for an event I’m getting them 100%. Anyway she keeps melting when I try and use her even with 4 healers. All my heroes are maxed. Am I doing something wrong? How can I keep my Royal Champion alive during attacks? (TH13) I’d estimate she survives maybe 15 seconds. That’s high balling it.
By nature, the RC tends to get ahead of your army because of her defence targeting and fast movement. Firstly, don’t use Healers with her, since that won’t do much and it’ll just waste housing space.
Secondly, if you’re using a Ground army, you normally want her to support your flank, paired with either the King or Queen (and maybe a Siege Barracks), so that she is protected and survives longer. Another use case of hers is for RC Charges, but you can’t do them without E-Boots. People use Invis Spells for those to keep her alive.
Finally, if you’re using an Air army, expect her to die early if you aren’t using her on the flank with a Hero or something. With your main army, she’ll get targeted by Ground-only defences and quickly go down. One last thing, I’m guessing your RC is either low level, has low Equipment levels, or both, which doesn’t help at all. Same goes for your Shield + Flake pairing.
She like my other heroes are maxed (TH13) low level equipment cause I’ll probably take seeking shield off as soon as I get her boots. And I’ll look into ground comps thank you
i think you are an air attacker. In air attacks the survival of RC is difficult. either shift to ground army or buy electro boots. RC charge without electro boots is somewhat difficult. healers on rc is not recommended as she is defence targeting hero. she often goes to high damage area where healers can't keep her alive. invisibility spell is the best alternative of healers.
I have to learn how to use invisibility and that’s definitely on my radar to try, and I’ll look into TH13 ground comps thank you!
Is there anyway to get the 1250 trophies achievement now? I created an alt account last week and saw that the achievements for the 1250 trophies count is still active (got the 2nd tier or 1st one of that I think). So maybe Supercell can increase the no. of trophies we get in league battles and adjust the leagues accordingly so that it doesn't need to be removed later?
There is. You need to get 1250 trophies in a ranked league or enter the legend league.
which is nearly impossible for almost 99% of players I think. Usually you get 400 to 600 trophies in lower leagues so it is impossible there. Even in higher town halls it is probably tougher to get now.
The main difference is that it used to be something you got super early in your TH life and you'd push for it in order to get the 3rd or 4th builder. Now it's an endgame achievement.
I've had seasons in league 30 where I exceeded 1250 trophies. Mathematically you can get 1200 from offense alone if you have a perfect season (which I haven't), and then you also get some from defense.
It is harder now, but they added many achievements with more gems to make up for it.
What should I choose in the new event store ?
I have two options....
Guys help me it's a tough choice....
Definitely go with the Magic Mirror, it’s the clear favourite.
Thanks..
Just to be sure, my understanding is epic equipment like electro boots and others will always be behind the 1500gem wall, and never be cycle/turn over replacing other epic equipment in futur event like the smite one we have currently? i jump back in the game after years, all that is new to me even pets/animals
The equipment available in the Medals Events, which happen every other month, is different each time.
oh ok that cool, thank you

Can I still get all?
If you grind for it, then yes, it’s definitely doable. I’d spam sneaky goblins to finish it.
What other 3 pets should I prioritize as I'm also prioritizing the unicorn?
What TH are you?
Hi guys, how do I organize my army? I just started this game.

Hello, by clicking on the garbage icon top right and confirming is for deleting all your troops in one go.
if you want just deleting barbarians for example, click on it and a red icon will appear, is for deleting one by one.
Clicking on empty space for spells, clan castle, siege, will each time opening a tab to pick what you want like for troops.
if you really like a complete army u can save it by clicking on the icon next to "My Army", it will automatically open the next tab "Saved Recipes", click on one empty space like army 1 and confirm the save. really nice to switch between multiple armies and not each time manually changing.
Castle icon will open a tab where you chose what reinforcement troops you want to ask your clan members to give to you. the "sword icon Add" next to castle is the same thing but you don't ask others clan members, u pay with raid medals to give yourself your reinforcement basically. Raid medal can be obtain after the end by participating and attacking in Capital each weekend, start friday end monday.
The lock icon will dissappear after unlocking a hero, first one is the king at town hall 7 if i remember correctly.
Cookbook tab is different army already existing u can try. and by that see if you like it or not.
Hold the troop icons and drag them around to reorder them. You can do the same when editing a Saved Recipe.
Which is more value to lv24 and max first? Action figure or spiky ball? For reference both equips are lv23 and I love using both since I'm a smash/ground attacker
Ball doesn't get an extra hit from lvl 21 to 27, get Action Figure maxed cause Giants stats start skyrocketing after lvl 20
Spiky ball
Hi guys! Im a TH 11 MAX and i want your opinions, im interest to skip TH 12 to 13 for get the Royal Fighter and use my gems in she. Because i see that TH 12 is bad and boring, do you recommend it? (My heroes are not maxed)
No, I don't recommend skipping th12. Don't fully max it, that isn't a strategic advantage either. Focus on your heroes and upgrade to th13 when your heroes are max or when you have so few other things left to upgrade that you will soon have sleeping builders.
I want to do strategic rush
There is a guide here in the FAQ for strategic rushing. It is the fastest way to full max, but it is not good for classic war (it is good for cwl and ranked).
Yes but u will have to stay in th13 because hero levels at that point are a pain
What are the other problems instead of Heroes
Well defenses are double upgrades, lab is a pain for offensive upgrades, then u have siege machines as well its up to you but you should stay in th12 or 13 to prioritize upgrades if u rush you might struggle since u have no maxed hero's but idk up to you.
I have nearly maxed my bomb hive should i start upgrading my herobell? i am in low lengeds
bomb hive is arguably the best crafted defence in the game. it is the most popular as well, i don't think you need to upgrade other defence unless you are done with other main buildings. as new crafted defence will arrive in a few months.
No, it’s not necessary. The Bomb Hive is the clear favourite in pro play rn, so unless that changes, just use the extra Builder on permanent upgrades.
Can someone help give me the best th8 armies for farming, trophy pushing, etc
For trophy: Dragon
Braindead but quick and very effetive farm: valkyrie
Dragons
This or goldpass for next month if they are same price?

Definitely the gold pass. You get all those books (except for a book of building instead of everything) and potion, along with a bunch of other stuff, and up to 20% boost for the month.
Not too familiar with the new hero tools from playing off and on. Which one should I buy with my medals?

Definitely the spiky ball. The mirror is great for ground attacks, and the crown for air, but the spiky is used in every comp that uses the king.
I'll check it out. Thanks

Does it line up with giant arrow from Goldmine to both poison spells
If you center the queen right on the mine, yeah, it’ll hit both of them. You could place her just slightly to the right of center to ensure that, but that isn’t necessary.
Hello, just started playing after a year and im curious, is there a braindead th 15 attack strat i can use on normal attacks? Don't wanna spend too much time learning one atm thank u!
Rc charge with electro boots and invis followed by dragons, as well as an rc charge followed by root riders and valkyries. They’re both really easy to do and learn.
Request for TH18 Root Rider strategy
Since TH17, I have been using Itzu's easy Root Rider strategy, which worked for me without any hassle. I was able to consistently get 3 stars until League 27. However, I recently noticed that it is not foolproof for TH18s, as the Town Hall is not weaponized. What would be a better Root Rider strategy for TH18? Thank you!
I cannot shift to the new 'Meteor Golem' meta yet, as I have not upgraded them to their max level & it will take some time.
I couple meteors even if not max would help but you also could switch to throwers. They will get the hall. Or save some miners for the hall (make sure long shot is down).
Thank you, u/lrt2222 for the response. Sorry, I missed to mention that I am a 'rusher' I've only maxed the Drags, E-Drags, Balloons, Baby Drags, Dragon Riders, Root Riders, healers, Yetis/Super Yetis, Super Barbs, Valkyries & Apprentice Wardens (prob.. 1 or 2 more).
I'll focus on maxing the Meteor Golems next (I need 2 books for this) & then the Throwers. I also need to upgrade the Totem Spell from lev. 3 to 4. I accept that, due to rushing, my options are limited.
If you want an easier attack watch video from Elison on drag riders and totems .

Should I upgrade meteor staff
Action figure to replace healers.
Hello! Which hero equipment do you recommend me to get the most? I've heard mixed opinions for both equipment, so I'm not so sure about it myself...

For air attacks, or if you already have the rocket spear, get the dark crown. Otherwise, the frost flake is good for when the rc is used at the backend of an attack (not for an rc charge).
Hello! I'm currently at Townhall 10 and I need opinions on which hero equipment should I buy in the Meltdown Mayhem event. Choosing between Magic Mirror, Spiky Ball, and Dark Crown.
spiky ball anyday
Okay thanks!
What is Strategic Rushing?
It refers to the fastest way to max out by maximizing use of magic items at later halls. See the guide in the FAQ here. Note it isn’t good for classic war.
strategic rushing means rushing you townhall to enjoy the top content without weakening you offence. just focusing on upgrading the important stuff which increases the offence like army camp, cc, spell factories, barracks, etc. and some core defence too.
I'm a newish player, maybe 2 months old...whats the best piece of hero gear I should buy from the smoky stove? I see a lot of people talk about the Magic Mirror but most comments are from before the Frost Flake came out.
spiky ball is the best equipment that you can get from this event.
Is that good to run with earthquake boots? That is what Ive been leveling up the most when I get resources.
yes, it is. infact it is the most popular equipment combination for barbarian king.
Thank you
Hello, quick question, if i dont collect lets say a heroe book form the gold pass because i dont have nothing to use it on, at the end of the month does it simply turn into gems? Or does it stack indefinitely? Question is for all the items in the gold pass
If there is room in your town hall storage, they will go into there, but if not, they won’t stack, and will be automatically converted into gems.
they might be collected into the temporary storage.
Gold pass items don’t go into the temporary storage. They go directly into your town hall storage, or get converted into gems if they don’t fit. The temporary storage is only for chest items that don’t fit, and for snacks.
oh i see.. thanks for the clarification.
I used a shovel and stashed the old barbarian statue (obstacle not decoration) in the builder base. Now it doesnt appear in the shop or the village editor
Did i lose my statue? Is this a known bug?
I just hit TH14 (coming from fully maxed TH13).
I currently have 2/1 Books of Building in my inventory and another one waiting to be claimed in the Gold Pass. I need to burn through two books so I can claim the third one, and I really don't want to sell a book for 50 gems if I can avoid it.
What are the absolute best upgrades to use these books on right away? I was considering rushing to the Town Hall 15, but I'm not sure if the Lab, Pet House, or Clan Castle are higher priority.
Any advice on the best order? Thanks

In my opinion, Hero hall = Laboratory > pet house > clan castle > everything else.
Is the lab assistant still bugged so that it doesnt work while you are online?
only on guardians, and yeah as far as I know that hasnt been fixed yet.
Wdym by "only on guardians"? are those the th18 defenders and they get upgraded on the lab?
Yes, and the big only affects them
Hello, what are generally best gears for heroes? I know it depends but I am th11 and I usually prefer air attacks, and i dont have a lot of ores so I wanna make sure to upgrade the right gears and not waste any ores, would it also be better to use king or minion king for air attacks?
For air attacks
King: spiky ball, snake bracelet, earthquake boots.
queen: giant arrow, action figure, healer Puppet
prince: dark orb, henchmen puppet, dark crown
warden: eternal tome, healing tome, rage gem
champion: electro boots, rocket spear, haste vial.
-> For air attacks MP is is more preferred over BK.
th11 is a nice th for airtroops, with practice there is no "must have" i prefer to use mp with henchmen and orb, aq with giant arrow and healer puppet, gw with rage and the White book, rc with shield and gem. If you like bk more than mp, King with boots and rage to go in the middle of the base or rage and vamp to clean outside.
These are all common equipments and easy to level up.
Epics i prefer in this order:
Rocket spear, boost is best way against Singleinferno
Fireball, good to funnel or against eagle and Singleinferno
Electro boots
Spikeball, if you prefer the king.
All these epics are good on higher th. You dont waste your starry
Ok ty, is there a replacement for healer puppet? I cant get it til th12 from the blacksmith
sorry, my mistake. i looked at my wrong account...
Take invis if you dont have epics for the aq
There will be better store promotions on Christmas Day? The ones being advertised as clashmas are not the offical ones?
Those are official but yeah they may change over the course of the holidays.
There are going to be new levels for a lot of defences within the next couple of months. Legend at th18 is already hard enough, and I’m wondering if some troops/spells will gain new levels to balance the higher level defences? Is this something likely to happen?
Yeah, there’s usually new troop levels when the next update drops around February/March.
My clan and I had enough of all the draws we were getting and decided to split into two clans so we could have less TH18 every war and more low THs, but we still are drawing (less than before, but still we do).
If anyone knows how to fix it, please tell🌹
Thats just the state of the game, everyone draws a alot.

Should I RUSH?? My base is maxed aside from traps, collectors and heroes. Should I just upgrade my heroes or should I rush to th15? Main point is defense. I am stuck in rank 18 and can’t progress because all I face are th15s and I can’t always defeat those. And also in the other hand my base is also easily beaten by any th15 strategy.
If you care about leagues, then rush to TH17 and let it bring you to league 25. And no, you won't get to league 26 slower because of rushing, as rushing doesn't make you any weaker. Basically the ranked system is somewhat pointless below league 25, as the fastest way to progress is simply upgrade TH to level 17, and that doesn't affect further promotion as well.
After you rush to TH17, focus on your heroes as much as you can before upgrading other defenses. The point is simple: you're always attacking when playing the game, not defending. So maxing your offense power is also maxing your game experience.
And you may think about how about clan wars and CWL. Well for clan wars, the simplest is to find a FWA clan. Harder approach is to find some clan that is willing to let you do clan wars despite being completely incompetent. CWL is the same. Rushing is different from your current style, so ofc the suitable clan for you will likely be different.
Woah my guy you just took rushing to the next level. I ment only to th15. But ngl this might just be one of the best advice I have ever received
Rushing far ahead is bad for classic war but good for CWL and trophy pushing.
Focus on heroes and upgrade the hall shortly before you run out of enough other things to keep your builders constantly busy (traps, collectors, etc.).

Hero levels:
your heros are not very strong. but rushing to th 15 will significantly improve your offence, with extra troop capacity, cc housing space, new troops and spells.
if you have strong hero equipments then under-leveled heroes are not a big concern, you can rush.
Thank you for the advice
I’m planning to change my in-game name and was wondering how many special symbols are actually allowed in a player name. For example, symbols like ✨ ⚡ ❄️ ⭐ ⚜️ ♠️ ⚽️, etc.
Can someone give me a list?
When’s the Christmas mega deals coming out ?
There is no announced schedule that I'm aware of, but there are some clashmas deals in the in game shop and the online store right now.
“Load Village”
I decided to make an alt account because my main was taking so long with upgrade times. I registered a new supercell id and linked it to my village. After a couple hours I started getting this “load village” pop up every time I open the game and it disconnects my supercell id forcing me to re login. Does anyone have any idea how to get this to stop?

I said in the post that I’ve connected it and that every time I try loading the game back up I’m disconnected

I signed up for tournament yesterday. It’s been more than a day after the sign up deadline ended but still I’m not placed in any bracket to start attacks. Shouldn’t the week attack week be starting right now and new one beginning signing ups after 2d18hr. Can someone explain if I’m wrong with the tournament timings or is this a bug
The sign up for this week’s tournament runs from Monday to Friday at 5 AM UTC, and if you sign up after that, you sign up for the following week’s tournament, which starts this coming Tuesday.
That means I skipped this weeks tournament right! Damn thank you for this info. I thought they greyed out the sign up button if we miss after Friday 5AM UTC, I signed up correct at 5am UTC as there was a few second left. Maybe the server registered late

What are those gifts? Is the offer worth it?
These are 20 gifts for your clanmates, 20 × 5 gems your mates can claim in clanchat
I was working on an alt account purely for donating to my main.
Recently I came to know about the concept of "Req & Leave" clans. Is there a point in working on my alt now?
Depends on whether the effort is worth it to you! If you’re having fun leveling an alt up to the point that it becomes useful, go for it. But it will take time. If it feels more like a „task“ and you don’t enjoy it, it might make you feel burnt out over time. I would also recommend guides on strategic rushing, to reach the higher Th levels faster 😊
Thank you! Yes I'm rushing on my alt: only upgrading the barracks, spell factories, lab and then moving to the next th
