Clash of Clans is a free-to-play title created by developer
Supercell - a start-up studio that was formed by ex-members of Sumea,
Remedy, and Sulake.
The game centres around building,
maintaining, and expanding a small fantasy village, as well as repelling
attacks from goblins, and setting off on adventures in search of enemy
settlements to destroy.
We thought you might need a helping hand
to get yourself off the ground. That's why we've created this guide. Be
sure to check it out before you grab your sword and sprint blindly into
battle.
The basics
There are three (yes, three) different forms of currency in Clash of Clans, so you'll have to be constantly keeping your eye on your wallet (or the top-right corner of your device's screen).
The
first of these currencies is Gold Coins, which you'll earn in abundance
from resource gatherers, completing quests and missions, and a variety
of other outlets.
Gold Coins can spent upgrading specific
buildings, paying your workers to clear obstacles, purchasing
decorations, and fortifying your village with defensive contraptions.
The
second form of currency is Elixir. This pink substance is earned from
resource gatherers but can also be stolen from the numerous goblin
settlements that you raze to the ground.
You'll likely spend it
training your many troops, upgrading the buildings that aren't covered
by gold coins, and constructing storage buildings for your varied
resources.
Finally, there are Green Gems, which we'd class as the
game's premium currency. You can grab these through in-app purchases
and special in-game promotions, and trade them in for coins and Elixir.
They
can also be spent to instantly complete construction projects and other
time-consuming tasks, as well as on special buildings.
Construct-'em-up
During your time with Clash of Clans,
you'll find yourself regularly partaking in the fine act of
construction. You can't expand a village without buildings, after all.
Buildings
fall under three different categories: resources, which includes
contraptions that mine and store valuable resources like Gold Coins and
Elixir; army, which is made up of a Barracks and other military-themed
outposts; and defences, which contains everything you need to defend
your village from attacks.
Resource buildings - particularly
those that store your commodities - are extremely important as they
increase the maximum amount of currency that you can hold at any one
time.
With that in mind, you'll want to upgrade your Gold storage
and Elixir storage buildings to at least level two fairly early on in
your adventure. If you don't, many of the Gold Coins and Elixir you earn
from your first couple of battles will simply be lost.
By the end of Clash of Clans's
compulsory tutorial, your village should be packed with two Builder's
Huts, but you may want to construct a third in order to increase the
number of buildings that you can erect simultaneously.
Specific upgrades
Unlike in most free-to-play build-'em-ups, you don't unlock new items (besides decorations) in Clash of Clans by collecting experience points (XP) and leveling-up. Instead, you unlock new content by upgrading specific buildings.
Upgrading
your Town Hall to level four, for example, will unlock the game's Air
Defense and Spring Trap items for your village. So, be sure to upgrade
it at least a couple of times early on.
Don't forget to upgrade
your Barracks, either: a new troop type is unlocked every time you do
so. As you unlock newer, larger, and more powerful troops, you'll also
have to upgrade (or purchase additional) Army Camps.
These camps house your brave warriors post-training and pre-battle, so you don't want to run out of room.
Slice and dice
Battles in Clash of Clans
aren't a walk in the park and you will find yourself lying dead in a
ditch (well, okay, not literally) if you don't plan your attacks
properly.
Firstly, don't attempt to enter more than the first few
battles if you haven't upgraded your Barracks and unlocked additional
unit types. You'll likely end up in that ditch we mentioned above.
Secondly,
don't recruit and train any units for a battle until you've scoped out
your upcoming battlefield. You can select a battle on the game's map,
take a look at the environment, and return to your village before the
action kicks off without receiving a penalty.
When performing reconnaissance on your opponents, be sure to look for weak points in their defences.
As
you can see in the screenshot below, the goblin settlement in question
can either be attacked from the front or the rear. The rear only has a
single cannon defending it, so coming in from the back is the best path
to take in this scenario.
It's
important to remember that you'll lose every troop you send into a
battle post-victory, regardless of whether or not they perished in the
midst of a bloody brawl. In other words, don't send every single troop
you have at your disposal into battle if you don't need to, it's a
waste, and you'll have to spend more Elixir to repopulate your army.
Although
you can't control your troops directly (or even point them in the right
direction) during a battle, you can still have some say over what
targets they attack first.
Simply place your troops as close to
the structure you want razing first as possible and your warriors will
generally target it first.
Defend to the hilt
If you play Clash of Clans
for more than three days, your village will start to be routinely
attacked by goblin raiders, who'll happily destroy your picturesque
settlement if it's not properly protected.
Walls, while
relatively expensive, will slow down invading opponents, which makes
them invaluable. Be sure to place them around your most valuable
buildings.
You'll also get cannons, which are great against
ground units, and Archer Towers, which are good at combating air units.
Bear in mind, however, that you can only purchase a very limited number
of each, so it's imperative that you place them where they can defend
almost all of your constructions.
If you don't fancy battling at all, simply purchase a Shield from Clash of Clans's in-game store using some of your Green Gems. It will prevent all attacks for either one, two, or seven days.
