The base of a perfect village: the best troops

As much as you have a huge village in Clash of Clans, it will be of no use if you do not have the best troops at your disposal . Before the battle it is very important to have well-developed tactics and strategies to finish off your enemies, but the truth is that if your armies are not up to the task, defeat will easily be on your side. Therefore, you must know the best combinations of these troops. Each character has special abilities and attributes to play a different role in battle:

• Electric dragon : this is the 13th troop that we can unlock in the Barracks , their training place. It is one of the worst nightmares for enemy Town Halls, as it is capable of dealing massive amounts of damage. Thanks to its Chain Lightning attack, it can target five different targets, although each time it hits one it reduces 20% of the next one’s damage. Of course, you must be careful with the Air Traffic Controllers , since they can easily finish him off due to their slow rate of fire.
• Wizard – Another character in the Elixir Troops. Mages are ground troops that launch explosions to destroy anything in their path. Like the archers, they are ideal for destroying the walls of enemy villages, and if they do it in a group they will be quite powerful. They have a good amount of health and splash damage, which will allow us to do good attack damage from long distances.
• Golem – This character loves to take damage. They have a lot of health to absorb a large amount of damage, although the attack is quite weak. Therefore, the ideal is to use them to defend the weaker troops. The easiest way to kill them is by attacking them with air troops. When they are destroyed, they release two golemites , characters that have less life.
• PEKKA – This behemoth has the strongest armor of all, dealing more damage than any other unit in the game. Of course, it is one of the ones that need the most elixir , and therefore they take longer to manufacture. The ideal is to position them in the corners of the villages, or as close as possible to the buildings. They are immune to jump traps and lightning spells, but we must be very careful with Tesla Towers .
• Valkyrie : finally we meet one of the most popular characters in the game. She is very powerful when it comes to both defending and attacking, and she is capable of dealing a lot of damage to Heroes . On most occasions, she will take down ground troops in one hit. She has little life, so you will have to keep her away from the PEKKA and the golems if you don’t want to run out of her.

Keys to improve the resources of your village in Clash of Clans

To improve the villages and the troops, we can find 4 main resources or elements in the game. Each of them fulfills a different function, and to achieve them you have to apply different methods.

• Gold – Mainly used to build buildings and troops, as well as progressively upgrade them. They also serve to build elixir collectors and warehouses for other resources, essential elements to create the best troops. It is obtained in the gold mines, which you will have to expand to manufacture larger quantities. On the other hand, it is kept in the gold warehouses.
• Elixir – One of the most coveted items in the game. This raw material is used to build and improve the troops, as well as the buildings that have to do with your army. It also allows us to buy gold mines and stores of the same material, and we will be able to elaborate and improve the spells. All the elixir is stored in their respective warehouses, and today the maximum number of units it can hold is 4,500,000.
• Dark Elixir – This relative has much more value and power. As you can imagine, it is scarcer and therefore it costs more to get it. However, it is not usually used as much as the two previous elements. It is used to train and upgrade dark troops, as well as craft dark spells. They are kept in the warehouses of the same name, being able to store a maximum of 350,000 units.
• Gems – The last item is gems. They are basically the premium currency of the game that is used to upgrade villages on a large scale. They are quite difficult to get, and the easiest way is by completing achievements and upgrading buildings, as well as chopping down trees and destroying rocks. Another way is to buy them with real money, and they can be applied to get more gold, elixir and dark elixir. They are also useful for speeding up the training of troops and being able to recruit new ones in less time.

The best defense of your fort is a good attack

A phrase widely used in sports, but that we can also apply to video games. In this case, placing the buildings strategically is one of the best options to defend your village in Clash of Clans, since this way we will prevent enemy troops from approaching our domains.

• The Town Hall – This is basically the heart of your village. It is the largest and most important building, so it is the number 1 target of your enemies and your rivals will go straight for it. Contains 20% of all resources that can be collected. If the opposing team destroys it, you’ll earn a star and get a little closer to victory. Therefore, it is best to build a lot of walls and crossbows, as well as place cannons, mortars and archer towers to protect you from all positions.
• Activate your best troops : never forget to improve your troops, although you must do it wisely. You have to know how to discern between the most powerful towers and the weakest. This means that if you see that one kills more easily than another, it is not worth improving the second, although we must not lose sight of them either. As you already know, when a tower is being built it cannot be used, so the enemy troops will aim towards these targets.
• Distribute the buildings correctly : the ideal is to have a symmetrical distribution of all the elements of the village, since this way we will mislead the enemies when they attack us. Therefore, collectors, warehouses and even mines should stay outside the walls, or instead position them in the corners to make it more difficult for them to reach. The ideal is to place cannons and mortars to protect them.
