Clash of Clans, a popular mobile strategy game developed by Supercell, offers players an exciting experience of building and defending their villages.
A crucial aspect of dominating the battlefield is upgrading your troops. In this comprehensive guide, “How to Upgrade Troops in Clash of Clans,” we will delve into the mechanics of troop upgrades and provide valuable tips to help you maximize the potential of your army.
Understanding Troops Upgrades
Troop upgrades are essential for enhancing the strength and effectiveness of your army. Upgraded troops boast increased damage, health, and special abilities to unlock their super versions such as sneaky goblins, super archers, and many more, making them formidable forces on the battlefield. To initiate troop upgrades follow these steps:
Upgrade you Laboratory
The lab is the essential building to upgrade your troops. To unlock advanced troop levels, upgrade your lab to that required level. Each troop type has its laboratory-level requirements for upgrades.
Collect Elixir and Dark Elixir
Upgrading your normal and dark troops requires elixir and dark elixir, two of the primary resources of the game. Ensure that your Elixir and Dark Elixir Storages are of maximum level according to your Town Hall level to hold a sufficient amount of resources required to upgrade the troops. Actively attack other villages to accumulate the necessary resources.
Upgrade Specific Troops
Troops are individually upgraded in the laboratory. Access the lab, select the troop you wish to upgrade, and invest the required amount of resources to start the upgrade process. Upgrade times and costs vary based on the troop type and level.
Follow these 5 steps to upgrade your troops more efficiently and quickly:
Prioritize Upgrades
Focus on the troops that are vital for your preferred attack strategies. Prioritize the troops that are frequently used in Clan Wars and normal attacks for loot and trophy pushing to maximize the attack of your troops.
Optimize Laboratory Upgrades
Coordinate your base upgrades with your laboratory upgrades. This ensures that your overall troops are continuously improving, making your overall village stronger. Plan your upgrades strategically to maintain a balance between defensive and offensive capabilities.
Participate in Clan Games and Clan War League
Engage actively in the clan games to earn magical valuable items (Book of Fighting and Everything), which can be used to speed up troop upgrades.
Similarly, clan war leagues offer League Medals through which we can buy hammers of fighting and spells to upgrade the troops and spells to the next level without spending resources on them.
Use Research Potion
Research Potion can significantly reduce upgrade times. Save these potions for crucial troop upgrades or when you want to boost overall progress. Acquire Research Potion from the Trader or various in-game events.
Complete Challenges and Achievements
Regular check in-game events and challenges that offer gems and other rewards. Moreover, you can complete in-game achievements to get gems from there. Use Gems wisely to expedite troop upgrades or acquire resources for timely laboratory advancements.
Mastering troop upgrades in Clash of Clans is a vital aspect of building a powerful village.
By understanding the upgrade process, prioritizing key troops, and leveraging in-game events and rewards, you can create a formidable army capable of conquering opponents in both regular raids and Clan Wars.
Upgrade wisely, strategize effectively, and watch your Clash of Clans village become an unstoppable force on the battlefield.
