I hadn’t been blogging about Clash of Clans lately just because there wasn’t anything significant to say. But I had been slowly grinding my main account towards the various season goals. Just today, I hit some various upgrades that put me close to maximizing my TH11 (minus walls and some defenses) where I felt I needed to take advantage of the season bonuses and Christmas “deals”. As a result, I said fuck it and got myself a TH12!
Pretty much I had been eyeballing the Weapon Shop for some time. I feel that my attacks on both accounts had been limited because of lacking Siege Weapons. With Christmas coming tomorrow and me having a rough year, I decided to give myself a little treat and got a few gifts from Clash of Clans to push my Town Hall up a notch.
Some things I managed to do in turn was upgrade the Giga Tesla to level 5 on my Town Hall, get my Weapon Shop to level 2, upgrade the Wall Wrecker to level 2, upgrade the laboratory to level 10, start the upgrade of my Electro Dragons to level 3 and get my Eagle Artillery to level 3. I did mess up slightly in pushing my Eagle Artillery before my Clan Castle but I have a Rune of Gold sitting around that I intend to use very soon for this very purpose.
That will put me on hold in terms of being able to upgrade anything in the short term as some of these will take almost two weeks to get done. But once a few more items are complete, I will try to get at least one Barrack upgraded to make use of the Yeti troops and use whatever Elixir I have left over to make a round for upgrading my resource storage units and my Army Camps. Combined that should put me in a decent spot while I learn some new attack strategies.
Part of the motivation in pushing this hard with the upgrades was to also help funnel the siege weapons and higher level troops towards my older account. I’m hoping to also use different troop combos beyond Electro Dragons just to have more fun and be less frustrated when attacks don’t go my way. For instance, I started upgrading my Ice Golem as I have my eyes set on trying out Ice Golems + Bowlers + Witches. In my previous attempts to use that attack strategy, I was met with embarrassing failure because I lacked a siege weapon like a Wall Wrecker. Obviously, the Log Launcher is what I really want, but it’ll probably take me a year before I can get my main account to TH13 to make use of the Log Launcher.
In the meantime, I will have access to not only the Wall Wrecker but the Battle Blimp. I haven’t had a chance to use that yet and I want to give that a try in conjunction with my Electro Dragon attack. The idea would be to alternate between Elixir and Dark Elixir attacks when I need to farm up a resource type.
The other major thing I want to try is Super Dragons. With my laboratory upgraded, I can make way for the next level of Dragons. So far I’ve seen very good results from Super Dragons. I’ve seen some cases of using a Super Dragon for the Clan Castle troops and just destroying opponents.
My only concern at the moment though is just the sheer time it takes to upgrade anything. Even when the season is over and I get access to my seasonal bank, I will need to plan out the time so that I have my builders all available to really get value from the seasonal bank. On the bright side though, I did get some of the costliest upgrades done or are in progress.
At any rate, I’m pretty eager to start messing around with these new troops and the TH12. Pretty much my only toy for Christmas this year.
