Clash of Clans Cheat Codes: ------------ Submitted by: David K. -=Join a Clan=- Once the clan castle is rebuilt you can officially join a clan and battle to win more goodies against other users. Then attack with friends and you can take on targets that otherwise might be out of your range. Keep in mind you'll hit harder but you also have to supply troops to support others, and it's important to coordinate any attacks, particularly if your clan plans to place competitively. -=More Clan People=- In order to invite your Facebook or Game Center friends, your friend must first play Clash of Clans, connect to Game Center or Facebook with their account and have rebuilt their Clan Castle. After this, you can see your friend in the Friends menu, where you can tap their name and choose Invite from the context menu. Inviting from global chat works in a similar way: tap a player's message, and choose Invite from the context menu. -=Shield=- The Shield prevents other people from attacking you for a period of time. You lose the shield when the time runs out, or when you attack another player. When your village is destroyed by an enemy attack, you automatically get a new shield for 12 hours. You can also purchase longer lasting shields from the shop. Also keep in mind that if you do not have an active shield and you exit the game, your village will be vulnerable to attacks from other players. The attacking player will be able to steal some of your resources, but never all of them. You can protect your village with defensive buildings, walls and traps, or by buying a new shield form the shop. Terrain obstacles and the edge of the map do not stop attacking units! -=Smart Building=- When you build your village, build all your structures close together. It gives you an edge in defending your villages. If your village is compact, your turrets will be able to defend more buildings at once. Check out our Defensive Strategy Guide for more tips. -=Move and Make=- One of the coolest features in this game is the ability move buildings, thus re-arranging your vilage, after you have made it. Use it make the best possible defense for your village. -=Gems=- Save your gems for important purchases. Don't spend gems to shorten your timer, since one timer will just be replaced by another. Early on it will be tempting to use gems left and right to hurry up the process of building and training. This only gets "worse" over time as things take longer and longer to complete. The game is designed to play on your impatience and get you to buy more gems (with real money). While you can get more gems by clearing your area (trees, rocks, etc.), it's only a few at a time. Hang on to your gems. -=Focus on Dark Elixir=- Once you reach Town Hall 7 and beyond, your limiting resource will always be Dark Elixir. Through normal play, you typically will max out all gold and elixir-based upgrades long before you acquire enough Dark Elixir to max out your heroes and Dark Barracks troop upgrades. As a result, you need to place a priority on Dark Elixir above all other resources, saving your spells and hero units for when you stand to gain a large chunk of Dark Elixir. -=Start Matchmaking Early=- When you first start playing Clash of Clans, you get a three-day shield. However, thanks to the previously-mentioned Loot Penalty, very few players will want to attack you even if you drop your shield. As a result, you can start matchmaking right away when you need resources with no fear of reprisal. You can skip around and look for a base with exposed resource collectors and use a handful of Barbarians, Goblins, or Archers to attack them. Even if you do get attacked, low-level Town Hall players have very little to lose. You will only lose a tiny bit of resources that can be more than made up for with a single attack.
