How to Play Clash of Clans

Clash of Clans is an addictive game where you build a base, protect it, train troops and attack others. As you get more and more gold and elixir resources, your base will get bigger and better! Here is a simple, easy to follow method of how to become an experienced Clash of Clans player.

1.

Get your base up and running. First priority is to make your base more defensive so no one takes away your treasures. Focus on trying to put your town hall in the center of your base so that it is hard to take more trophies from you that come with taking down the town hall.

2.

Go to the Shop, the items to protect your base are under "Defense." Good initial defenses are walls and the mortar. If you have these, you are much less likely to have someone raid you and steal your gold and elixir. Walls are much better upgraded so make sure you can do that quite quickly.Try to get the walls to level 3 as quick as possible.

3.

Since you have limited resources at first, put the walls you buy around the most important buildings only. It is great if you can protect the town hall, gold storage(s) and elixir storage(s). Kick the builder huts and army buildings out. Also, do not try to put walls around everything. It's better to have double thick walls than one huge line, right?

4.

Spend your gold, elixir and gems wisely. Do not waste them, especially your gems because they come in short supply. Do not spend your gems! Save them for another builder hut!

• Use your gems to build builder's huts. It is tempting to them all right away, but don't. You will need your gems later.
• The most efficient way to spend gems is to invest in builders' huts as this enables you to upgrade multiple towers and other defenses at once.
• Don't spend on extra gold or elixir storage at first, because you don't need it.

5.

Decide if you want to use real money to get ahead in the game. You can buy more gems with real money.[1]

• There are other ways of getting gems than spending money. So if you don't want to spend your money, not to worry. You can get gems when you remove trees and obstacles from the area around your base.
