Clash Of Clans Essentials : General Tips & Facts

Until you get up to Town Hall level 7, keep your wall level equal to your TH level before starting your new TH. If you're a TH level 7 with level 5 walls, you're going to get wrecked in battle a lot.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Position with a Purpose

When you are placing items around your walls, pay close attention to the hit points of each item. You will notice for example that each level barracks has a different hit point level associated with it. This means, the higher level barracks take longer to destroy than the lower levels. In addition, your clan castle and town hall also have very high hit points.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Dropping Trophies

If you play the game long enough, at some point you will probably want to ditch some trophies. The game is basically about bullying people smaller than you, and after a meteoric rise you may find that the competition gets a little too tough for your liking.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : The Elixir Bank

Did you think your Barracks was just for training troops? Wrong.

If you hadn’t noticed yet, you can queue a large number of troops to train, even when you aren’t online. When you queue troops in this way the elixir you need to train them is “spent”, but you can cancel training at no penalty for any queued troop. This means you can queue all of your barracks till they are full, and Elixir spent this way will be “banked” safely away from would-be attackers. When you return to your village, you can cancel the queued troops and recoup your “banked” Elixir.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Raiding and Town Hall Level

There are a variety of factors that affect how much resources you can steal from an opponent, but there is one huge factor: Town Hall level.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Don't Rush You Base

What is Rushing? Increasing the level of your town hall without upgrading one's main defensive buildings (Mortars, Wizard and Archer Towers, Cannons) as much as possible. Walls are important, depending on level, but it’s not a mortal mistake if you don't do each and every wall.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Saving the Campaign

SAVING THE CAMPAIGN FOR A LAST BIG PUSH

There is a game tip during the load screens which says that if you need a little more resources you can fight the goblins in the single player campaign. This is true, but if you played the early missions you probably feel that the resource pay out is ridiculously puny – and you’d be right. You can win up to 4.8 million gold and elixir in the campaign, but 3 million of that comes in the last 5 levels. These levels may at first seem impossible, but as you upgrade your units to around level 4-5 you’ll find they are not too bad.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Remove the Junk

Keep up with removing junk (mushrooms, stumps, trees, rocks, etc.) from around your base. If you have less than 40, one will appear every 8 hours. Removing them is an achievement that earns you gems. Each one you remove will give you 0-3 gems. If you have more than 40 pieces of junk around your base, no more will spawn, which means you're losing out on potential gems you could be getting.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Inactivity Timeout

Inactivity Timeout And Your Device Settings

When your shield is down and you are away from your village, the pillaging can be quick and brutal. There are many varied Clash of Clans strategies for defense – but none beat simply being in your village.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : The Element of Surprise

The game gives you plenty of strategic options for defense, but perhaps the most powerful is the element of surprise. Traps and the defensive Hidden Tesla do not appear to opponents when they look at your base, and while a trained eye is likely to figure out where they possibly are, a matchmade opponent will only have seconds to try and figure it out.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Out in the Cold

LEAVING YOUR TOWN HALL OUT IN THE COLD
You're told you want to keep your Town Hall in the center of your base well protected. There are several reasons to do quite the opposite, the most important being that each time someone attacks and destroys your TH you get at least a 12 hour shield.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Sweet Victory

You get 450 gems for reaching 3 stars on the “Sweet Victory” achievement. And this is actually not hard to do. Starting as low as a level 6 Town Hall (maybe even lower), you can search for villages which have a town hall outside of their walls. Taking out this one building guarantees you a star and some trophies. If you’re wondering why anyone would do that, see ‘Leaving Your Town Hall out in the Cold’ Section. Plenty of opponents do this – and you need only search diligently until you find such a target, and then take your cups.

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Research & Revenge

Like it or not, it will often be the case that you get attacked while you are away and your shield is down.  Revenge is a huge strategic advantage, because you can look at their village before attacking, and plan your attack carefully – even train different units for a special assault. 

Clash Of Clans Essentials : Spend Your Gems Wisely

What to spend your gems on heavily depends on how much you play the game, and how much you're planning to spend/earn. If you play the game pretty often, like raiding multiple times per day in steady blocks, prioritize this way:
