Clash of Clans

A multiplayer game, Clash of Clans allows players to build their community, train troops, and attack other players to earn gold and elixir while building their own defenses to protect against attackers. Players can also use the chat feature to communicate with others and join clans to aid each other.

Troops

Troops are divided into Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Dark Elixir Troops, and Heroes.

• Tier #1 - Tier #1 consists of barbarians, archrs, and goblins. The troops in this category are very powerful when swarming in hordes yet are vulnerable to Wizard Towers and Mortars.

• Tier #2 - Tier #2 consists of giants, Wall Breakers (a group of small skeletons that carry bombs), balloons (a group of Wall Breakers in hot air balloons), and wizards. Tier #2 is more powerful than Tier #1, but weaker than Tier #3.

• Tier #3 - Tier #3 consists of dragons, Healers (which resemble female angel-like creatures), and P.E.K.K.A.s (a race of full-armored creatures). Tier #3 is the strongest army in the game, but costs a lot of elixir.

• Dark Elixir Troops - The Dark Elixir Troops consists of golems, hog Riders (a group of men who ride on leaping pigs), Minions, valkyries, and witches (who can summon the skeletons of dead soldiers). The Dark Elixir Troops fill in the specific niches that normal troops don't have.

• Heroes - The Heroes consist of the Barbarian King and the Archer Queen. The Heroes are immortal and can only be trained once. The Heroes can be summoned by a permanent altar rather than being trained in the barracks.

Defenses

There are many defenses that the Clans use to defend their territory, including cannons, archer towers, and wizard towers. A laboratory can also be purchased to make troops on the offensive stronger against enemy forces.

Clan Wars

In the most recent update, (version 6.56.1), clans can now engage in wars with each other, with one preparation day, and one day of war. Stars/Rates are given for how well an enemy base was raided, and players are limited to two attacks per day. The team that holds the most stars at the end of the day is declared victorio
