Clash of Clans is a game where you can build your base, protect it from enemy attacks, train soldiers and attack enemy bases. The more gold and elixir you get, the more you can develop your base! Here are short and easy steps on how to become an experienced Clash of Clans player.
Step
Part 1 of 4: Early Game
Step 1. Build your base
The first priority is to increase the defense of your base so that no one can steal your treasure. Prioritize to build a town hall in the middle of your base so that it is more difficult for the enemy to take the trophy from your town hall.
Step 2. Purchase items to increase the defense of your base, usually in the “Defense” category
Walls and Mortars are good defensive items. If you have this, the chances of you being attacked by the enemy will be smaller. Walls get better the more you upgrade them so make sure you do it as soon as possible. Try to upgrade Walls to level 3 as fast as possible.
Step 3. Since you have very few resources at first, only upgrade the Walls and some important buildings
It would be great if you could protect the town hall, gold storage, and elixir storage. Set aside builder huts and warrior buildings. Then, don't put a wall around the village. It would be better if you have a thick double layered wall instead of a layered wall.
Step 4. Use your gold, elixir and gems wisely
Don't be extravagant, especially when using your gems as these are very hard to get. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING WITH GEMS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME EVEN IF YOUR MISSION SAYS SO! Save to build builder hut!
- Use your gems to build basic things, like defense and builder huts. While it may be tempting to use them all, don't spend them. You will need gems later.
- The most efficient way to use gems is to build builder huts as this will allow you to build towers and other buildings at the same time.
- Don't buy gold or elixir storage with gems because you don't really need them.
Step 5. Decide if you want to use real money when playing this game
You can buy gems with real money.
There are several ways to get gems without having to use real money. So if you don't want to spend real money, don't worry. You can earn gems by destroying barriers and trees around your base
Part 2 of 4: Protecting Your Base
Step 1. Remember, defense is the best way to attack
Build a strong base that can protect you from enemies. It would be great to see the enemy attack your base and fail.
Step 2. Make sure your base is centered in one area, not spread out
Step 3. Place important buildings in a highly protected area
Place the storage and town hall in the center of the base, behind the defenses and walls.
Step 4. Place the builder huts in the corner
When an enemy manages to attack the center of your base, they won't have time to attack your builder huts.
Step 5. Keep improving your defenses
Once you have enough resources, make your base stronger by upgrading your walls, defenses, and towers.
Step 6. Use traps as often as possible
Traps can injure your enemies and are very important to upgrade, traps easily eliminate small soldiers and injure large soldiers as well. Place traps in unexpected places.
Step 7. Protect your defensive buildings
You can also replace it with better buildings such as archer towers and anti aircraft defense. Mortars can do a lot of damage but the rate of fire is very slow. Place this in the center of your base because it's quite a distance away. If you don't have anti-air defense, your base will be easily attacked by healers.
Part 3 of 4: Attacking others
Step 1. Attack Often
Attacking is very profitable. There's no harm in attacking and you can get valuable items and trophies. You can also attack enemies that are easy to resource even though the trophies you get are small. You may not be able to get very many resources but this way is easier and attack whenever possible. Attacking is a very good way of playing. There's nothing to lose and you can get valuable items and trophies. You don't need to use too many soldiers. It's easier to steal resources than to wait for them. And it's fun to do too!
Step 2. Check how much gold your opponent has before attacking
You can see how much gold they have before you attack. If it's a little, you don't need to attack it. If it's a lot, maybe the base's defense is strong. But if they have a lot of gold and you are sure you can beat it, do it. Don't be afraid to take risks!
Step 3. Attack resources
Order your soldiers to attack the storage first.
- After a successful attack, you will get gold and elixir, which you can use for your base.
- If you fail when attacking, feel free to drag your soldiers back to base. You can train soldiers again later. Know when to back off.
- When you attack gold storage, the gold you can immediately increase in your bank. Even if your soldiers are killed during the attack, the gold you get is still not lost.
Step 4. You will get more resources/bonuses if you can destroy enemy bases or town halls
Step 5. After attacking, make sure you train new soldiers, to replace the soldiers who died during the battle
To train a new soldier, go to the barracks and you will see the option to train a soldier. We recommend that you train barbarians (25 elixirs) and giants (500 elixirs).
Step 6. Then, build a laboratory
Laboratory can increase the attack power of your soldiers and the level of endurance of your soldiers. You can also train new warriors such as archers, wizards and goblins. You can also create a spell factory after that. This will allow you to issue a skill that is useful when you attack.
Step 7. The more trophies you have, the higher your ranking in the match league, each rank will give you additional gold and elixir prizes every time you win a match
The higher the rank, the higher the bonus. The higher the rank, you can also get dark elixir as a bonus.
Part 4 of 4: Join a Clan and Socialize
Step 1. You have to rebuild the clan castle so you can join a clan
After a few days when you start playing, find your clan castle and upgrade it.
Step 2. After you build a clan castle, find a clan you want to join
Look carefully for what kind of clan you want to join. You should look for a clan that has the same play time as you.
Step 3. Fellow clan members cannot attack each other, and sometimes, they can also provide soldiers with assistance
Step 4. Joining a clan is a good way to find a strategy to defend and attack
Step 5. If you are already in a clan, you will often chat with other people
You can also attack and defend together with people of the same level as you.
Step 6. Clans can join Clan Wars, where every clan member can fight against each other and get huge prizes if they win
Step 7. If you don't like your chosen clan, you can switch clans
You may join a clan consisting of people who are older or younger than you, or come from another country. Even so, it's not wrong if you want to switch clans.
Step 8. Sometimes in a clan there may be some people who will be promoted to “Clan elder”, this will allow that person to expel members from the clan
Step 9. Members who have high levels will be more often to help and provide high level soldiers
Step 10. If you are not interested in joining a clan but you want to stay social with other players you can do so in global chat
Global chat is where players chat with other players.
Step 11. Be aware that you will be kicked out of the global chat if you use harsh words
Tips
-
Attack and defense tips:
- It is very important to have a good attack and defense.
- If you join a clan, it would be better if you share your soldiers with your other comrades, the more you do this, the more likely you are to be helped by that person.
- Upgrading your clan castle is a good idea because doing so will increase your attack power without using elixirs.
- Train soldiers before You attack with your entire army, so when you finish attacking, the soldiers you trained earlier are available, which is very useful for saving time to train soldiers.
- Your base cannot be attacked if you are online.
- The single player mode is also a good way to earn gold and elixir (especially at high levels).
- Train a variety of soldiers to find a combination of soldiers to suit your play style. Once you find a suitable combination, use the combination until you get a new soldier.
More tips
- You can also get gems by destroying grass, wood, and trees.
-
Pay close attention to upcoming updates as some could have a good effect on you. For example, SuperCell often lowers the number of gems needed to build a tower for a few days.

When you want to recruit new members into your clan, try promoting it via global chat.
Offering a position as a “clan elder” to promote your clan can make some people more interested in joining, but you will appear desperate to find members
- If the battles are getting more difficult and you tend to spend resources rather than gain resources, lower your rank until you are comfortable with the battle.

- Gems used to increase abilities and build speed cost real money.
