Weekly Update (Apr 14th) Hero Upgrades and Baby Dragons at TH12

 

Town Hall Level 12 - Week 13

Trophies : 3,056 (+100)  (Master League I)

Here's the latest update after the thirteenth week following the TH12 upgrade.  With all the Elixir based building upgrades completed, there is pressure on gold resources right now.  I had rune of gold that I used this week and I think I should be through the worst of it now.  The defense still looks strong and another triple digit gain this week on trophies puts me in Master League I.

Here's what the base looks like right now.

Current Upgrades in Progress

Town Hall Mega Tesla - Level 3

Hidden Tesla - Level 10

Wizard Tower - Level 11

Grand Warden - Level 24

Hidden Tesla - Level 10

Mortar - Level 11

Hero Levels

Archer Queen - Level 53 (+1)

Grand Warden - Level 23 (+1)

Barbarian King - Level 50 

Wall Upgrades Remaining - 235

The Grand Warden was upgraded again this week and is on the way to Level 24.  I got the 165 medals I needed from Clan War Leagues so the Queen was upgraded as well.  

There was one 3* attack on the base this week and it was not e-drags for a change.  It was a go-witch attack so I'll need to review and see if there is a way to stop it.   The zap-edrag attack is still working well, even with the Warden down for the upgrade.  

The Head Hunter upgrade is complete on the troop side so I'm now upgrading the lava hounds.

Builder Base

Trophies :  3,236 (-45)

There have been several smaller upgrades to traps etc on the builder base.  Some of the upgrades have take a couple of days and that impacts the trophy count while they are down.  The hog gliders have been upgraded a few times and are now on their way to level 7.  They are still too low a level to be much use for now.  

Tip of the Week

Let's continue our look at troop upgrades for TH12.  We now have seven troops prioritized for upgrade at TH12 based on the value that each upgrade represents.  Let's add an eigth to the mix and review the Baby Dragons

At TH12, the Baby Dragon can be upgraded from Level 5 to 6.  The improvement in stats is shown below:

Damage Per Second (DPS) : 115 + 10 = 125

Hit points (HP)  1600 + 100 = 1,700

The total upgrade value points or UVP (increase in DPS + increase HP) = (10 + 100) = 110

This upgrade costs 6,300,000 Elixir or 57,272 per upgrade value point

So where do Baby Dragons fit into the upgrade list?

1.) Dragon              13K / UVP

2.) Giant                 24K / UVP

3.) PEKKA             39K / UVP

4.) Loons.               41K / UVP

5.) Baby Dragon    57K / UVP

6.) Wizard              185K / UVP

7.) Barb                  193K / UVP

8.) Archer               900K / UVP

So an average return for your investment.  Make sure to upgrade the other troops above the number 5 slot before upgrading the baby dragons.

Next week we'll take a look at the miners - a personal favorite of mine from TH11.  Let's see if they can do the same damage at TH12 with an upgrade.

Until then
