Clash of Clans Guides

Where to start

If you are new here, the single most useful thing to understand about Clash of Clans is that your account has four progression tracks running at once, and only one of them uses builders. Your builders handle buildings and walls. Your Laboratory upgrades troops on its own timer. Your heroes upgrade on theirs. From Town Hall 14, the Pet House adds a fourth. Whether you finish a Town Hall in four months or nine comes down almost entirely to how many of those four are running at any given moment, rather than to how much loot you farm.

That is why the guides here lead with order rather than lists. Knowing that a Scattershot costs a certain amount is easy to look up; knowing that it should wait until your Laboratory and Clan Castle are done is the part that actually changes how fast your account moves. The upgrade priority guide is the best entry point, and the early Town Halls guide covers everything below TH11 in one place.

The per-Town-Hall pages below are reference material as much as strategy: each one lists what unlocks at that level, every building's new maximum, the upgrade costs and build times, and the prerequisites the game enforces before it will let you move up. They are generated from the same catalogue the ClashTrack app checks your own village against, so the numbers on the page and the numbers in your tracker never disagree.
