Weekly Update (Mar 31st) Finally - Hero Upgrades & Builder Base News

 

Town Hall Level 12 - Week 11



Trophies : 2781 (+55)  (Master League II)

Here's the latest update from the eleventh week following the TH12 upgrade.  We managed to max out the Clan Game rewards so I collected another book of heroes as well as some wall rings and some gems.  I had a day to spare this time thanks to a 600 point challenge in the Builder Base - always quick to get,  I'm coming to the end of the Elixir based upgrades for TH12 (2 x Gold Storages to go) so I'll start to focus on upgrading the Grand Warden before putting all that spare Elixir into troop upgrades and walls.

Here's what the base looks like right now.



Current Upgrades in Progress

Wizard Tower - Level 11

Gold Mine  - Level 15

Inferno Tower - Level 4

Gold Storage - Level 13

Bomb Tower - Level 7

Gold Mine - Level 15

Hero Levels

Archer Queen - Level 52 (+1)

Grand Warden - Level 21 (+1)

Barbarian King - Level 50

The sixth builder is already coming in handy.  In general, upgrades for TH12 are about a week.  So that's one extra upgrade per week that I can complete now so it really accelerates the progress.  The Grand Warden has been upgraded to level 21 and I pushed the Archer Queen to Level 52 ahead of the Clan War League that starts this weekend.  I need at least 165 medals for a Hammer of Heroes so we need all the troops available for that event.

All the air defenses are now upgraded to the max (level 10).  I still suffered a couple of 3* defeats from e-drags this week so I'm upgrading the final Inferno Tower to see if I can fend them off.  The wizard towers are still in progress as well and I may bump up the Air Bomb upgrades if I can't stop these attacks.  

The e-drag upgrade is still ticking along - that's a 10 day upgrade but it should be finished for the second half of Clan War Leagues.

Builder Base

Trophies : 3074 (-88)

The base redesign has helped although I am now working through a backlog of upgrades as I rushed to get the sixth builder.  The Multi Mortar is now at level 9 and I kicked off a Roaster upgrade to get it to Level 8.   



The Baby Dragons are now at Level 17 and I used a Rune of Builder Elixir to kick off the upgrade to level 18.  That will give me mostly maxed out troops for my standard attack which is Baby Dragons (lvl 18), Cannon Carts (lvl 18), Bombers (lvl 12) and Battle Machine (lvl 30).   

Builder Base News

There was discussion on You Tube this week about the possibility of an extra Hero being added to the Builder Base.  This part of the game will undergo a major upgrade in the 1H of 2023 and the extra hero could be part of this upgrade.  What sort of hero would you like to see in the Builder Base and what ability would it have?  Leave your thoughts in the comments below.  You can check out the video I mentioned above here.

Tip of the Week

Let's continue our look at troop upgrades for TH12.  We now have five troops prioritized for upgrade at TH12 based on the value that each upgrade represents.  Let's add a sixth to the mix and review the Dragon.

At TH12, the Dragon can be upgraded from Level 6 to 7.  The improvement in stats is shown below:

Damage Per Second (DPS) : 270 + 40 = 310

Hit points (HP) : 3,400 + 500 = 3,900

The total upgrade value points or UVP (increase in DPS + increase HP) = (40 + 500) = 540

This upgrade costs 7,000,000 Elixir or 12,962 per upgrade value point


So where do Dragons fit into the upgrade list?


1.) Dragon  13K / UVP
2.) Giant     24K / UVP
3.) Loons.   41K / UVP
4.) Wizard  185K / UVP
5.) Barb      193K / UVP
6.) Archer   900K / UVP

Yes!  We have a new troop in the top slot based on the value you get for the upgrade.  Dragons are almost twice the value of Giants who get pushed to the number two slot. 

1 Level 7 Dragon delivers 310 DPS and has 3,900 Hit Points - however it takes up 20 housing spaces

20 level 9 Barbs deliver 20*38 = 760 DPS and have 20*230 = 4,600 Hit Points

So a group of 20 barbs will do more damage than a Dragon and can take significantly more hits.  Of course, Dragons are not constrained by walls or open to attack from ground defenses so have some advantages.  However, they are vulnerable to air defenses and inferno towers so make sure to take these out with lightening or earthquake spells before hand.

Next week we'll do a review of the PEKKA and see if he can knock the Dragon off the number 1 spot.

Until then
Clash On!
