An Introduction to Clash of Clans on iPad By Super Cell
The trendy mobile game, Clash of Clans on iPad, was produced by Super Cell. This game aims to build a fortress to defend against enemy raids. You play and defend against other players, whilst building up your fortress and army. The goal is to attack their fortresses and win their resources.
Design a Simple Base of Clash of Clans on iPad
We need the best base design to fight off enemy raiders. You will need the best protection for your Town Hall as well as your Elixir and Gold Storage areas as these are where your most important resources are kept, without these resources you are unable to expand your fortress. Below, we show an example of a good but simple base, which is ideal when you start building your Empire. Later on experiment with other base layouts and see which works the best for you.

The aim is to discourage the opposing players from raiding your base. You should use your buildings (the ones with no resources), to block entry to the more important buildings for example the Cannon Tower, which will leave these buildings to fire shots at the attackers.
Further Levels
When you advance to the next levels, you will need to construct a better, more secure base. You will also notice it gets more difficult to make raids on your opponent’s bases the further you get into the game.
Farming
Farming will become very important and there are some things that you will need to do to farm. When you step outside your Town Hall, your walls become unprotected, potentially earning you a shield for a full 12 hours.
Why it could be good to get your Town Hall Destroyed
- No more attacks while you are sleeping with the 12-hour shield.
- If people leave after attacking your Town Hall, this is usually because their army is not strong enough to rid you of your whole base. You could in return, attack their base and reward yourself with your opponent’s resources.
There are drawbacks to using the above. It will cost you trophy points, so DO NOT USE IF YOU IF YOU NEED TROPHY POINTS. Having a low trophy point count will result in matchmaking you against less active opponents. This will mean that stealing their resources will be far easier.
Clash of Clans on iPad setting up raiding
Setting up raiding will be different for each person, as our preferences differ when choosing to use units for raiding. Below are my personal preferences for using the resource units.
- 25% Barbarians
- 50% Goblins
- 25% Wall Breakers
Once I have set this up, I can destroy the walls, pretty easily, even on the resource building with good protection. The Goblins inflict twice the amount of damage they can do, causing most of the damage, and easily destroying the walls of the resource buildings.
I usually send in the Wall Breakers after the Barbarians because the Barbarians maximize damage to the towers. The life of the Goblins can be quite short as they do take a lot of hits so I don’t normally send them in until last.
The Towers of Clash of Clans on iPad
Try to determine which tower poses the biggest threat. After the towers are attacked, goblins will effectively steal your opponent’s resources. Mortars quickly dispatch them. I would always send in either the Giants or Barbarians to the towers first, then try and get the Goblins to sneak in behind.
