Your First Few Days

Thank you for printing this page from www.SuperCheats.com. Remember to come back to check for updates to this guide and much more content for Clash of Clans
 
 
Last Updated:

Your first couple of days in the game, once you have got through the Tutorial, are some of the most important that you will face in Clash of Clans. The main reason behind this is that you have a Shield which protects you while you build up your defences. At its most basic, you should concentrate on upgrading your resource collectors, which at this stage will only be Gold Mines and Elixir Collectors. You want to make sure you have maxed out the number of each of these that you can build, however. Without adequate storage too, this won't come to anything, so you should also upgrade your Elixir Storage and your Gold Storage. You shouldn't build more Storage stations yet, rather concentrate on upgrading your existing ones.

Because you have a Shield, there is no point in spending your money on defenses such as Walls and Cannons. Your Shield will last for a total of 3 days, so during this time, until you get to the end at least, there's no need to worry about being attacked.

NOTE: If you attack someone in multiplayer, you will sacrifice your Shield. This is not recommended as it will put you open to attack by anyone - although the game itself doesn't make this clear.

When you are just starting out, don't feel you have to spend your Gems just because the game tells you to!

Once you get through the first few days and begin to run out of time with your Shield, you should start on working out your defences. Check our guide to defensive units for picking the best to build, but at this early stage, you should try to build Mortars and Archer Towers, with Cannons being third choice at this stage. Upgrade your defences where resources permit, and build walls to channel enemies into a certain place, or protect crucial structures.

TIP: The absolute best thing to do at this stage is to participate in the single-player missions against the enemy Goblins. This gets you a ridiculous amount resources and will really make a difference to the quality of your base (if you attack sensibly, that is).

This is article quite amusing. The author clearly does not know this game very well.
Break your shield straight away. Prioritize defense and troop upgrades. Do not upgrade collectors fully until late in the game. You will always get far more resources from raiding
others than from collecting.

Just started today. On android. When I exit the game, does it still run in the backround? And if so, will it stop when I leave a wifi area?

Just build the collectors. Don't max them. There is far more loot to be stolen than you
will ever get from them.

I had a question. I heard that if you want a shield, you can delete the game, and redownload it to get the beginner shield. Does that work?

How do you attack someone in multiplayer? My Clan wants me to get a league and they said to attack some one in multiplayer but I don't know how.

To advance further in goblin missions you must accumulate more stars. Return to goblin levels that you haven't triple-starred

There is an ulternate strategy. This would be for advanced players who are going second time round. Do NOT upgrade or buy and mines of collectors, rather get all your resources through raiding. This would save a huge amount of time and you would be able to progress very quickly through the game.

That's correct. It also discourage other players from attacking you that often because your collectors have little to offer. You collect less through collectors and need to constantly attack other players in multiplayer.
