Important upgrades;
- Only use Gems to buy your 3rd and 4th builders. Then save them like a squirrel saves nuts in the fall. You can use them later in the game and combine them with resources to buy anything. Things get expensive later in the game and its hard to save as much as you need without getting raided. Save as many resources as you can then top off with Gems to start upgrade. I recomend using Gems on XBows, Infernos and level 6 Giants or level 6 Balloons.
- Resourse Collecters; including dark elixer pumps. Upgrade them first and to the max. They will pay off through the game and help upgrade all your buildings and troops.
level 5
- Storages; you dont want to over fill the storages, all the over fill is lost for ever.
Important upgrades for Gold;
- Clan Castle; helps most in war, also helps in looting and defense for protecting your loot.
- At lower level through mid level your weapons with splash damge (wizard tower and mortar) should be first weapons upgraded. They are great against weaker troops that attack in large numbers like Barbarians, Archers and Goblins. Against stronger troops Archer Tower and Cannon do more damage. Your Wizard tower and Archer Tower attack ground and air troops so they should be before Mortars and Cannons.
- Air Defense should not be neglected. You will see a lot of dragon attacks in war. They are not expensive and take a long time to build so they are good to upgrade when resources are tight, but dont wait to long to start these.
- Tessla; great hidden weapons. Another that takes a long time to build. Again build these when resources are low.
*XBows and Infernos should be built as soon as posible. They are only available at Town Hall 9 and 10. Do not rush upgrading your Town Hall to get them.
Important upgrades for Elixer;
- Laboratory first so you can upgrade troops. No builder is required to upgrade troops so after it is built it's like getting an extra builder at no expense.
- Troops, keep your Laboratory busy. Your main war attack troops should be first, maybe one of the secondary troops that you get good use out of. I did Giants first then Goblins then Wizards for war troop then Wall Breakers as an example. My typical raid was to use wall Breakers are Giants to attack weapons and make holes so Goblins could grab the loot. Your favorate spell should be toward the first troop to be upgraded. Rage spell for most, Heal spell for hog attackers.
- Dark Barracks before you use them, this way it doesn't hurt.
Important upgrades for Dark Elixer
- King and Queen; then to level 5 for their improved ability.
- Hogs- good by themself in large groups (30-40) or in support. Some use hogs to clear out air defence before an air attack.
- Minions- good for following balloons or supporting dragons.
